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.
