Day 70/365: Caramel Sauce Ala Frost

11 Mar 2011 Photo of the Day

I was actually craving for chocolate cupcake with caramel sauce.  I remember when I was working in Manila, one of my office mate often ordered a homemade chocolate cupcake with caramel sauce for us.  The caramel sauce was so perfect and I loved it!  I was hoping I could make that too, so I tried one of the recipe from allrecipes.co.uk.  The recipe was a bit watery for me so I experimented of adding cornstarch on my last additions of cream.  I've made additions of cream and cornstarch till I reached my desired creaminess.  After it cooled down, I was surprised it turned out to be frosty.  In fairness, the caramel taste and sweetness was just perfect.  I enjoyed the caramel flavor top with my favorite chocolate cake :)

Day 69/365: My Homemade Lip Gloss

10 Mar 11 Photo of the Day

I was searching on where to purchase online or store of Carmex & EOS lip balm as both have good reviews and wanted to try.  I'm running out of my regular lip balm and wants to try a new brand.  So while on search mode, I just realized there's homemade lip balm and lip gloss going on for years.  What's surprising though, the tutorial videos are mostly done by teenagers, amazing haha! So yeah, being a mom I'm challenged cos what on earth I never heard of that before and if I could turn back time for sure I'll be making for myself and for my friends too.  Okay, so I'm happy I just got all the ingredients and things needed to make a simple lip gloss (because if not I won't buy those ingredients and things cos it will turn out more expensive and might as well buy a regular lip gloss), so the next day I just made a small portion enough for my cutey container and just for trial purposes.   And it works, perfect!  If I have free time, I will post my version here.

I'm really surprised to see when I was about to put home clothes of my daughter in her drawers when I saw that her clothes were so neat and tidy!  Usually it's a mess but on that day since now its still pretty neat.  I'm so happy she has improved on this! Happy Happy!! :)
