Homemade Chocolate Face Mask

-

Okay don't laugh, but I had to share with you this new homemade face mask that I learned. It is so easy to make with ingredients you most likely already have at home.

Face masks are for hydrating, smoothing, cleansing, toning, relieving stress, wrinkles and aging on your face. It is recommended to apply a face mask weekly on your face.  I normally apply a homemade oatmeal mask which I will share with you soon. But this one is also really, really good.


All you need is:
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
2 tbsp Coffee
1 tbsp honey
4 tbsp milk

(You can substitute the milk in this recipe for: plain yogurt, 1 egg,  or even olive oil - if your face is very dry)

 Mix it all together in a small bowl with a spoon, until well mixed and is like a paste. Apply it to your face and neck. Let it sit on you face for about 15 minutes then wash it off with a warm wash cloth.

Your face will feel so smooth and rejuvenated.
You could eat it right off your face if you wanted (Literally...) It is made entirely by food.

Really Nice. Now you try.



From my kitchen to yours

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
