make your own pore strips

Found a recipe for these and WOW they really work!
Recipe
1 tsp of gelatin
1 tsp of milk
mix until its quite lumpy and then heat in
the microwave for 10 seconds. The mixture
should be quite runny. Give it a stir.
When it cools enough to touch paint it onto
the spots that have blackheads. Let it dry
and pull off as you would a strip and PRESTO!

* The fun part is seeing all that stuff come off!
** Remember to put an astringent on after and
perhaps an acne cream on.

sugarfree gummys in TEENY TINY JELLY BEAN MOLDS

So I wanted to try this out. sugar free gummys. i had the perfect molds that i have been saving for years. got them as a grocery store promotional for jello. they are perfect for this project. little tiny jelly bean shapes. all you need is 2 ingredients and a photographer to help you make these candies.

STEP ONE GETS INGREDIENTS TOGETHER AND CLEAN MOLDS
 p.s: you don not need to spray molds with anything this I was impressed with

STEP TWO: ADD THE GELATIN AND JELLO
AND ADD 1/2 CUP OF COLD WATER. MIX UNTIL IT
LOOKS KINDA LIKE PLAY DOUGH

STEP THREE HEAT ON MED HEAT UNTIL THE CONCOCTION MELTS
LIKE THIS - I KEPT STIRRING I DIDN'T WANT SCORCHED GUMMYS- YUCK!

STEP FOUR I WAS GOING TO POUR INTO A SQUEEZE BOTTLE BUT
THE PEANUT GALLERY (aka my husband and daughter) THOUGHT IT
WOULD MELT SO I POURED IT INTO A MEASURING CUP WITH A SPOUT

STEP FIVE POUR INTO THE MOLDS. PUT IN THE FREEZER FOR 10 MINS.

STEP SIX POP THEM OUT OF MOLDS - THIS WAS FUN! THEY ARE WIGGLY
AND POPPED RIGHT OUT!

STEP SEVEN SO HERE IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT! A SUGAR FREE GUMMY!

Now I bet you are wondering about the taste. To be honest.... i think that i will try them with regular jello. The texture is quite chewy the same as the gummy bears that you buy. I also was impressed that they don't melt. It is extremely hot here and air conditioning is something we are not blessed with. The cute little candies were left out and they are still chewy and not sweating of any sort. So i would consider this a success but like i said before i will  try them with regular jello.

CAMPFIRE PAPER BAG BREAKFAST

It was said it couldn't be done by my husband and my brother in law Jerry. This was something that I had seen on YouTube and wanted to try out! So this is what you need 1 paper bag, bacon (I used three strips ) an egg and of course a campfire. It helps that I also had my sister in law cheering me on. The other two "UN"believers were left to sit and watch as I proved them it COULD BE DONE!

STEP ONE
IS TO RUB THE BAG
WITH THE UNCOOKED
BACON 

STEP TWO
CRACK AN EGG IN

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE IT WAS  COOKED

STEP THREE
FOLD THE BAG UP LEAVING ROOM FOR STEAM

STEP FOUR
POKE THE BAG AND USE A HOT DOG STICK
TO HANG OVER THE FIRE

STEP FIVE
HANG OVER THE FIRE WE DON'T HAVE TIME AT OUR
 CABIN SO WE "GUESSTIMATED" THAT IT TOOK ABOUT
FIVE SONGS ON THE RADIO FOR TIMING
(Jerry at this time was realizing that this was going
 to work and was now trying to figure out how
the bag didn't burst into flames)

STEP SIX
TAKE OFF THE STICK AND OPEN IT UP! IT WAS VERY EXCITING!

STEP SEVEN
RIP THE BAG DOWN AND EAT! It was actually really quite yummy.
 The bacon fat made the eggs not dry out and the bacon was both chewy and crispy!
The best part was proving the men WRONG! Nope not going to let them forget this!!!!

only in SASKATCHEWAN

So on our way up to Somme this weekend. We stopped in a little Ukrainian town named Porcupine Plain and this was attached to their stop sign. Gotta love the Ukrainians humour!
