Con extracto de bayas de saúco negro, mora y arándanos, calman, suavizan y refrescan el contorno de ojos. Y es que, gracias a que sus componentes son ricos en vitaminas A y C y tienen propiedades antioxidantes que previenen el envejecimiento de la dermis, la piel se ve más bonita desde la primera aplicación.

¿Cómo utilizarlos? Aplícalos sobre el contorno de ojos durante 20 minutos y después retíralos y esparce el resto del sérum con pequeños toquecitos (hazlo antes de la crema o BB cream).

 

2. La banda ROUTINE HEADBAND de MiiN Cosmetics

¿Qué haces con tu pelo en tus rutinas de belleza? Esta banda te lo va a poner todo un poco más fácil. Es perfecta para retirar el pelo de tu rostro y hacer que puedas focalizarte en ti.

Y mejor si el té tiene propiedades que nos ayuden a estar más activas e ingredientes antioxidantes. El Ginseng Beauty Tea de Or Tea? es un té verde orgánico que contiene potentes antioxidantes que ayudan a prevenir el envejecimiento prematuro de las células. Y además sabe genial.

¿Cómo tomarlo para disfrutarlo mucho mucho? Pon una cucharadita o 20 gramos del té en un infusor o filtro. Vierte unos 200 mililitros de agua a unos 80o y déjalo reposar durante 5 minutos. Remuévelo y endúlzalo a tu gusto. Puedes añadir un par de hielos para obtener un resultado más refrescante en verano.

Este kit está valorado en más de 50€ y puedes conseguirlo, solo durante un tiempo, por 41,50€. Querida, no esperes a que sea demasiado tarde para hacerte con tu beautea kit.

Sparkling Water Mocktails by Natalie

I was never a fan of carbonation until my fourth pregnancy. For some reason, all I wanted was bubbly drinks—ginger beer in particular. I tend to gain a LOT of weight during pregnancy and knew my new soda habit (and influx of sugar) wasn’t going to do me any favors, so I turned to sparkling water.

 
 

I have loved sparkling water ever since I lived in Europe in my 20s, but this new, trendy flavored sparkling water was new to me. It took a few tries before it eventually fulfilled my soda craving during pregnancy. That baby bump is now three years old, and that craving has never completely gone away, so I happily sip on a sparkling water almost every day. I figure it’s better than diving into the ice cream container late at night.

My kids like sparkling water, too, and they have fun adding fruit, juices, and other flavorings when we have “fancy drink nights.” Also, little umbrellas are a must.

 
 

First of all, let me get this out into the open: I’m not an expert on mixing drinks. In fact, I don’t even drink. I don’t have the equipment or special glassware—and I don’t even know what they’re called.

Luckily, making mocktails doesn’t require any special equipment or mixology knowledge. But here are a few tips that I’ve found to be useful.

1. You’ll need something to smash fruit or herbs (like mint) in the bottom of the cup to get the most flavor out. I used the pestle from my mortar and pestle. You could also use the end of a big, wooden spoon.

2. Sweeteners are optional. If you’re doing a round of Whole30 or are avoiding sweeteners for some reason, you really don’t need them for most mocktails. I typically use a few drops of stevia (or flavored stevia) or fruit juice when we do ours, but you can make some simple syrup if you’d like them sweeter.

Sommer posted a great tutorial a few years ago on How to Make Simple Syrup—even flavored ones using rosemary! These would be a fun addition to a mocktail, too.

3. Flavored sparkling water is optional, too. You can make a delicious mocktail with simple, unflavored sparkling water. I find the flavored ones add a little extra zing, but honestly, you don’t need them.

Here are a few of my favorite concoctions!

 
 

Ginger Berry Pomegranate

Berry-flavored sparkling water is my favorite. If a hint of berry flavor is good, it only makes sense that more berries would be better. I mashed 2 blackberries and 2 raspberries into the bottom of a glass, added about 1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (because I love ginger in all the things) and a splash of pomegranate juice and then some sparkling water. So, so good.

 
 

Pineapple Strawberry Sunrise

This was such a fun, fruity combination! I mashed up some chopped pineapple and strawberry bits into a glass and added a generous squeeze of orange juice, then filled the glass with orange sparkling water. A drop or two of vanilla stevia was tasty here, too.

 
 

Cucumber Lemon Mint

My favorite flavored water to serve at parties is filled with lemon and cucumber slices with a few sprigs of mint. The combination is so refreshing and a fun twist on plain lemon or cucumber water. I made a fizzy combination with those three things and added some lemon flavored sparkling water. This one was great without sweetener, too!

 
 

Virgin Coconut Mojito

(Dare I admit I had to google what was in a mojito to make sure I wasn’t totally off base with that name? Like I said, zero experience with alcohol here.)

I REALLY loved this one.

Mash a few mint leaves into the bottom of a glass, then squeeze the juice from half a lime over it. Add some lime sparkling water, a drizzle of coconut milk, and a little sweetener. I think this combination was one of my all-time favorites. And a stripy straw makes it even better.

Does anyone else hoard stripy straws? Those cheap packages of them in the Target dollar spot get me EVERY TIME. I’m glad I have an excuse to use them!

 
 

Now, go forth and buy all the sparkling water and fruit and mint and have a sparkling mocktail party! This would be such a fun idea for a baby shower. Heck, my kids loved putting their own concoctions together after I finished photographing this post. Definitely adding this to my list of summer vacation activities!

Cómo combatir los signos de fatiga en el rostro

Cómo combatir los signos de fatiga en el rostro

En el día a día son muchas las razones que pueden provocar estrés y frente a esta situación el cuerpo reacciona y se producen desequilibrios que afectan directamente a la piel, generándose los signos de fatiga.

No vamos a mentir, no existen soluciones milagrosas que eliminen el estrés. Pero sí que se puede controlar cambiando e incluyendo algunos hábitos de vida.

10 tips para disminuir los signos de fatiga en tu rostro

• Aunque estés cansada de escucharlo, es totalmente cierto, un paseo de 20 minutos te ayudará más de lo que piensas. No solo harás una mejor digestión, sino que además mejorará tu circulación y hará que te relajes.
• Respirar correctamente es importante. Una oxigenación profunda ayuda al cuerpo a relajarse y disminuye la tensión de los músculos.
• ¡Desmaquíllate siempre! De lo contrario no liberarás a tu piel y ésta no podrá respirar durante la noche. Lo mejor es utilizar un producto limpiador y un tónico, ya que este último contribuye a que los productos de tratamiento que apliques posteriormente se absorban mejor.
• También hay que cuidar la mente. Disciplinas como el yoga te harán trabajar en la armonía de tu cuerpo y mente, disminuyendo el estrés y contrarrestando sus efectos negativos sobre la piel.

 

• Incluye la exfoliación en tu rutina. Una vez a la semana, exfolia tu rostro (con movimientos circulares suaves) para liberar toxinas y eliminar las células muertas. Notarás que los signos de fatiga disminuyen.
• La noche es el mejor momento para que tu piel se regenere. Aplica una crema específica para lo que tu piel necesita (hidratar, aclarar, desinflamar…) y déjala actuar hasta la mañana siguiente.
• Si tu mayor preocupación, y donde más cansancio se te acumula, es la zona del contorno de ojos recuerda que ésta necesita tratamientos específicos. No vale únicamente con tu crema habitual para el rostro, sino que lo más conveniente es que apliques una para la zona en cuestión. Cuando lo hagas, masajea la zona del contorno de manera suave para favorecer la circulación.
• Otra forma de deshacerte del estrés diario antes de ir a dormir es con baños de inmersión, aromaterapia, infusiones o todo aquello que te ayude a conciliar el sueño.
• Cuida lo que comes. Mantener una dieta adecuada también te ayudará a combatir la fatiga. Sobre todo en las cenas es recomendable ingerir alimentos ligeros, sin abusar de la sal y no tomar mucho alcohol. Estos dos últimos, favorecen la retención de líquidos y pueden causar, por ejemplo, bolsas en los ojos.
• ¡Bebe mucho agua! Lo ideal es entre 2 y 3 litros de agua al día. Y ya no solo para tu piel, los beneficios que tiene para tu cuerpo en general son innumerables.

Si incluyes estos hábitos a tu rutina notarás como disminuye el estrés diario y cómo esto se ve reflejado en tu piel. ¡Pero esto no es todo! Y es que si quieres saber qué productos usar para luchar contra la fatiga, no te puedes perder nuestra selección.

And I gave a pair to my mom for Christmas a few years ago, and she wears them at her hospital job and they are still in amazing shape. Go, Tieks!

PW “Melody” Pasta Bowls by The Pioneer Woman

I am mildly (translation: extremely!) obsessed with this set of pasta bowls. They have been out since the spring, and while I started with four…I now have a collection of sixteen, and I’ve been surprised how much I’ve used them.

 
 
They’re the perfect bowl for pasta, naturally. The pasta can spread out to allow more surface area for sauce.

 
 
They’re perfect for salads! Makes them easy to eat because you don’t have to dig deep to get to the lettuce (which in my case is covered up by approximately 400 toppings.)

 
 
They’re awesome for soup. Not too deep, so the piping hot soup can easily cool to an easy-to-slurp temperature (and every soup looks gorgeous in these bowls.)

 
 
But here’s what I really love them for: Serving bowls! They hold mashed potatoes, green beans, and other veggies like a champ.

You can find these in most Walmart stores, or you can find them on Walmart.com! Hope you love them as much as I do. (Psst. Be careful: They’re habit forming.)

Elevating Canned Biscuits by Sommer

Elevating Canned Biscuits by Sommer

As a kid, canned biscuits were a staple in our house.

My mom was a great cook and made a big fuss over dinner most nights. However, breakfast was considered an “on your own” type of meal, so our kitchen was always well stocked with eggs, cereal, oatmeal, and canned biscuits we could make as needed.

I used to play with tubes of biscuit dough quite a bit to make all sorts of carby creations. Those little pre-sectioned pillows of dough are just so darn handy!

So today I thought it would be fun to share ways to elevate canned biscuit dough. These ideas are great when you are in a hurry, when you’re cooking with kids, or for those that love to cook but hate to bake.

 
 

Quickie Doughnuts. One of my favorite childhood uses for canned biscuits is making fast fresh doughnuts.

Use a small cookie cutter (or apple corer) to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit. Then fry the doughnuts for 15–30 seconds per side in a pot of hot oil. Carefully lift the doughnuts out of the oil with tongs and toss them in powdered sugar.

 
 

You can spice things up a bit by adding pumpkin pie spice to the powdered sugar. Also try adding cocoa powder to the powdered sugar!

“Sweet Biscuit” Scones. What are scones, after all, but slightly sweetened biscuits?

You can easily turn canned biscuits into scones by pressing dried fruit, oats and brown sugar, or chocolate chips into the dough before baking. Also try drizzling a simple glaze (made with milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar) over them after baking to fancy them up.

Cinnamon Rolls. Easiest sweet rolls ever!

Place the entire unwrapped tube of dough on a floured work surface and roll it into a thin rectangle. Sprinkle the dough with sugar and cinnamon. Then roll the dough into a cylinder and slice into rounds. Bake and devour.

 
 

Sausage Rolls. Two perfect words, dough and sausages.

Cut each unbaked biscuit in half. Roll out the dough pieces into flat ovals. Cut bun-length sausages in half. Then wrap each sausage half in dough.

 
 

Bake until golden. Then serve with mustard or BBQ sauce.

Mini Calzones or Hand Pies. Sweet or savory pies in minutes.

Roll each disk of dough into a thin circle. Then fill with pizza fillings, or go sweet with fresh berries tossed in sugar. Fold the dough over the top, and pinch the edges closed, to form semi-circle shaped pies. Bake and serve warm.

Mini Pizzas and Fruit Pizzas. So the hand pies above sound like too much work? No problem.

Just roll the dough flat and sprinkle toppings over the mini crusts before baking. No folding or crimping required.

 
 

Pot Pie or Cobbler Toppers. Place sweet or savory fillings in 6-8 ounce ramekins. Place an unbaked biscuit over each ramekin and bake!

 
 

Navajo Fry Bread. A fabulous alternative to plain rolls or biscuits.

Roll the biscuit dough out into flat circles. Fry the circles in hot oil for 10–20 seconds per side. Once golden, carefully lift them out of the oil with tongs and sprinkle with garlic salt and chile powder. (Then be tempted—very tempted—to make Erica’s Fry Bread Tacos from the previous post.)

Monkey Bread. A classic family favorite!

Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces of dough. Toss the pieces with cinnamon sugar, and place in a bundt pan. (You can add chopped dried fruit or fresh fruit into the pan if desired.) Pour a mixture of melted butter and brown sugar into the pan and bake until golden and bubbly around the edges.

Breakfast Sandwiches. Nothing makes a biscuit complete like ham, cheese, and eggs.

Bake the biscuits according to the package instructions. Then cut them open and fill with savory ingredients.

 
 

Garlic Knots. Possibly the best thing ever made with canned biscuits!

Use your hands to roll each unbaked biscuit into a 6-8 inch rope. Tie each rope into a knot and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the knots until fluffy and golden.

 
 

Then mix melted butter with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Dunk the knots in the garlic butter and sprinkle the tops with parmesan cheese. Pure heaven!

Elevating Canned Biscuits by Sommer

As a kid, canned biscuits were a staple in our house.

My mom was a great cook and made a big fuss over dinner most nights. However, breakfast was considered an “on your own” type of meal, so our kitchen was always well stocked with eggs, cereal, oatmeal, and canned biscuits we could make as needed.

I used to play with tubes of biscuit dough quite a bit to make all sorts of carby creations. Those little pre-sectioned pillows of dough are just so darn handy!

So today I thought it would be fun to share ways to elevate canned biscuit dough. These ideas are great when you are in a hurry, when you’re cooking with kids, or for those that love to cook but hate to bake.

 
 

Quickie Doughnuts. One of my favorite childhood uses for canned biscuits is making fast fresh doughnuts.

Use a small cookie cutter (or apple corer) to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit. Then fry the doughnuts for 15–30 seconds per side in a pot of hot oil. Carefully lift the doughnuts out of the oil with tongs and toss them in powdered sugar.

 
 

You can spice things up a bit by adding pumpkin pie spice to the powdered sugar. Also try adding cocoa powder to the powdered sugar!

“Sweet Biscuit” Scones. What are scones, after all, but slightly sweetened biscuits?

You can easily turn canned biscuits into scones by pressing dried fruit, oats and brown sugar, or chocolate chips into the dough before baking. Also try drizzling a simple glaze (made with milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar) over them after baking to fancy them up.

Cinnamon Rolls. Easiest sweet rolls ever!

Place the entire unwrapped tube of dough on a floured work surface and roll it into a thin rectangle. Sprinkle the dough with sugar and cinnamon. Then roll the dough into a cylinder and slice into rounds. Bake and devour.

 
 

Sausage Rolls. Two perfect words, dough and sausages.

Cut each unbaked biscuit in half. Roll out the dough pieces into flat ovals. Cut bun-length sausages in half. Then wrap each sausage half in dough.

 
 

Bake until golden. Then serve with mustard or BBQ sauce.

Mini Calzones or Hand Pies. Sweet or savory pies in minutes.

Roll each disk of dough into a thin circle. Then fill with pizza fillings, or go sweet with fresh berries tossed in sugar. Fold the dough over the top, and pinch the edges closed, to form semi-circle shaped pies. Bake and serve warm.

Mini Pizzas and Fruit Pizzas. So the hand pies above sound like too much work? No problem.

Just roll the dough flat and sprinkle toppings over the mini crusts before baking. No folding or crimping required.

 
 

Pot Pie or Cobbler Toppers. Place sweet or savory fillings in 6-8 ounce ramekins. Place an unbaked biscuit over each ramekin and bake!

 
 

Navajo Fry Bread. A fabulous alternative to plain rolls or biscuits.

Roll the biscuit dough out into flat circles. Fry the circles in hot oil for 10–20 seconds per side. Once golden, carefully lift them out of the oil with tongs and sprinkle with garlic salt and chile powder. (Then be tempted—very tempted—to make Erica’s Fry Bread Tacos from the previous post.)

Monkey Bread. A classic family favorite!

Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces of dough. Toss the pieces with cinnamon sugar, and place in a bundt pan. (You can add chopped dried fruit or fresh fruit into the pan if desired.) Pour a mixture of melted butter and brown sugar into the pan and bake until golden and bubbly around the edges.

Breakfast Sandwiches. Nothing makes a biscuit complete like ham, cheese, and eggs.

Bake the biscuits according to the package instructions. Then cut them open and fill with savory ingredients.

 
 

Garlic Knots. Possibly the best thing ever made with canned biscuits!

Use your hands to roll each unbaked biscuit into a 6-8 inch rope. Tie each rope into a knot and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the knots until fluffy and golden.

 
 

Then mix melted butter with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Dunk the knots in the garlic butter and sprinkle the tops with parmesan cheese. Pure heaven!
