How to Make Homemade Sweet and Salty Popcorn

Hello everybody! Today I decided to share with you a very simple recipe of homemade sweet and salty popcorn. If you are someone who like to watch a movie with a bowl of freshly made warm popcorn on a Friday night you will like this recipe! It will take only a few minutes to make but I can't express with words how much pleasure you will get from it.


Here is everything you will need to make it:
  • popcorn seeds 80 grams 
  • any kind of vegetable oil (I am using sunflower oil 1 full tablespoon)
  • salt (to your taste, I'm using about 1/2 teaspoon of salt)
  • granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • vanilla (a pinch; I'm using the powder version.You can even not put vanilla at all if you don't want for some reason. )
  • 1 tablespoon of water 
From this amount of ingredients  you will get a medium-sized bowl of popcorn. If you want more you can double the ingredients.

Homemade Facial Mask with Oat-Flakes and Honey

Hello everyone! Today I decided to talk to you about one of my favorite homemade facial mask. I chose this mask because I can really see a difference after applying it on my face comparing to some other masks which don't seem to do much difference.
Sometimes when I put my son to bed for the night I get a little bit of spare time to pamper myself (especially after a hard day when I really want to have some "me time", I usually don't get another opportunity during the day :)). That doesn't happen often, because I am usually busy with doing different chores around the house at night :) :) :). But anyway, yesterday I had a pampering time and decided to share it with you. I made this mask, put it on my face and while waiting the 20 minutes had a wonderful cup of tea, and felt much better about myself :) :) :)



After applying this mask I usually immediately see a difference. My skin brightens up a lot, it becomes more soft and smooth. My skin feels refreshed and rejuvenated. It also helps to heel and sooth your skin if you have skin irritation. But before you put this mask on to your skin make sure you are not allergic to honey. If you have long hair like me put your hair up in a ponytail or in a bun. because it can be a little bit messy :) :) :) Before applying the mask take off your make up and wash your skin thoroughly with your favorite cleanser so that your skin absorb  the nutrients from the mask as well as possible.
Now let's make the mask with oat-flakes, honey and milk. These are all the ingredients you need:

How to Make Plain Ice-Cream Taste Even Better

Hi everybody! First of all, I want to thank you all for visiting my blog, if you have any questions or suggestions leave a comment in the comment section below. I appreciate all your opinions! :) :) :) Today I decided to share my ideas about ice-cream, how make plain ice-cream taste even better and how to consume less calories but twice much pleasure. As for me I don't like plain ice-cream by itself. When I eat ice-cream I try to make it special  and look appetizing. On the other side, I adore fruits and berries, so I combine them together and get a perfect combination of taste to my palate. Besides, you get a huge bowl of  "ice-cream", I have better call it a dessert, but consume much less calories.  If you are someone like me you will like this idea!
Here is a picture of one of my favorite combinations of ice-cream and fruits. As you can see I have put one scoop of ice-cream and a whole bunch of raspberries, cut strawberries and slices of banana. You get a huge bowl of deliciousness and less calories.


Here is another picture of vanilla ice-cream with raspberries. Can you believe there is only one small scoop of ice-cream?! Subconsciously you will believe you  have eaten a whole portion of delicious ice-cream!


Chocolate ice-cream also tastes great with bananas and berries (especially strawberries and raspberries). You can also add nuts if you like such as almonds. cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, etc.
I hope you liked this post, if you have any ideas feel free to leave a comment below! Have a good day! Bye! :) :) :)

How to Clean a Greasy Baking Sheet without Harsh Chemicals

After cooking the roasted potato and Chicken recipe, as always, I faced the problem of cleaning the greasy baking sheet. It can be quite a hard and unpleasant chore to do, if you don't know a few tricks. First of all I recommend you to wash your baking sheet as soon as you have done with cooking. But if you have forgotten for some reason that's not a big deal. This trick will help you too.

This is how I deal with my greasy baking sheets.
  • Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of baking soda on to the sheet, then pour about 100 ml vinegar and water enough to cover the baking sheet.

  • Put the baking sheet on the heat and boil the water in it.

  • Let it boil for 1 or 2 minutes. When the sheet cools down a little bit wash it under hot water with dish-washing liquid.
  • This is the final result. :)

I hope you like this easy trick of cleaning the greasy baking sheets or any other dirty pots and pans!!! Have a nice day. Bye! :) :) :)
