DIY: Oreo Truffles! ♥


Hey girls!

I know you guys love sweets as much as I do, so therefore today I am presenting you with DIY Oreo Truffles! The fun part is, NO BAKING IS NEEDED! You guys know how much I love making sweets without having to bake. These truffles are super fun to make, super easy, and may I tell you super pretty! They make great gifts, snacks at a party, or simply just for yourself! Oreo lovers will love this, but so will any chocolate/sweets lover!





Here's how you can make this delicious snack!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
♥ 1 pack of Oreos 
♥ 1 cup of Cream Cheese (Original)
♥ Chocolate Chips
♥ Cupcake Liners (Optional)

STEP BY STEP:
♥ Take your Oreos and smash them until they reach a powdery consistency. You can use a food processor, or put the Oreos (some at a time) in a big ziplock bag and crush them.
♥ Take your Cream Cheese, and mix the Oreos and the Cream Cheese together in a big bowl. Although the required amount of Cream Cheese is 1 cup, I suggest adding the cream cheese a little a time. Start with half a cup, and if the oreo does not yet meet a dough consistency, add more cream cheese. Be careful not to add too much, otherwise it will reach a runny consistency. You want it almost like dough, where you are able to mold it.
♥ Mold the Oreo "dough" to a round circle shape.
♥ Melt your chocolate chips and dip the oreo truffles into the chocolate. Put it on a wax sheet.
♥ You can melt white chocolate, and drizzle white chocolate on top, or while it's still wet, take some oreo crumbs and spread them on top.
♥ Put the Oreo truffles into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes (depending). The colder they are, the better they taste. It is optional to put them on cupcake liners (for appearances only).

TUTORIAL:

& you're finished! How easy was that? These taste absolutely delicious! Do not worry about the cream cheese making it taste weird, all you taste is yummy oreos and chocolate! Have fun making it, and tell me if you guys try it and what you think about it!

Turn Dry Nail Polish into Brand New again!

Hey everyone!

Have you ever bought a bunch of really great nail polish, only to see that a couple of weeks later it has turned dry? I don't know about you, but I absolutely hate dry nail polish, especially when I wanna use it some more! Well, here is a super easy trick that will turn any dry nail polish into brand new again! Not only will it save you some money, it will also save your favourite nail polish!

THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
  1. Any dried up Nail Polish you own.
  2. Nail Polish Remover (100% Pure Acetone)


STEPS:
  1. Take your dried nail polish and set the brush aside. 
  2. Take your nail polish remover and pour an estimated amount inside the nail polish. Make sure not to put too much. Only put a little bit.
  3. Close the nail polish tight, and shake. 
Now it's brand new and ready to use again! You will be amazed at how fast, easy and effective this is! It will literally make dry nail polish wet and new again. 





My Daily Body Skin Routine ♥

Hey girlies!

Winter is just around the corner, and for some of us it has already come. Winter is a cold season, and one of the many reasons that leads to dry cracked skin. Now, I think for us ladies, we'd like to keep the skin of our legs, arms, or just our whole body in general smooth, glowy, and soft looking. This routine is not only good for one season, it is great to use all the time, for all seasons. Especially in the Summer, this routine will get your skin to glow in the sun.



This is my personal body skin routine, and I have been doing this for over a year, and my skin looks great. Do not expect instant results in the moisturizing part, but do expect quick results for the glowy part! Now let's begin this routine:

THINGS YOU WILL NEED:

  1. Vaseline (Original)
  2. Baby Oil (Preferably Johnson's. The Aloe Vera type)
  3. Moisturizing Body Lotion 


STEPS:
  1. After taking a shower, do not dry your body. While your body is still wet, take some Vaseline on your finger tips and rub it on your skin as you would do with lotion. The wetness of your body will make it easier for the Vaseline to spread. So make sure your body is wet while doing this.
  2. Dry up, but pat instead of rub. Rubbing your skin dry will just wipe off the Vaseline you have just applied. 
  3. Take some Baby Oil onto your hands and rub it like you would with lotion. If you have stretch marks, rub it on those areas especially, and on dry spots. The baby oil will instantly make your skin literally glow, and look healthy.
  4. Apply any lotion of your choice normally as you would.
Now you are finished! Your skin will instantly glow, and look and feel softer. Literally! This is great for all body types. Do not have any concerns on this making your skin oily! The Baby Oil is gentle on your skin as it is made specially for babies. The Vaseline is also originally a great moisturizing tool!



Give this body skin routine a try, and let me know what you think about it, and what it has done for you! 

Feel free to also request anything!

Love,

This time it's on this absolutely brilliant product called a Fashion Jewelry Holder (at least that's what I like to call it). It is such a unique product and a perfect addition to your room! You can hang various things on it, jewelry, hair products (hair ties, hair clips), and other stuff!

♥They save space, and keeps your room organized..in style!

CONS:

♥The price can range from affordable to un-affordable depending on where you purchase them, and the quality of the item you bought.

TIPS:
♥Placing them on top of drawers (or wherever you usually do your everyday hair/makeup) would be pefferable.

♥Avoid placing too many or too heavy items on top of it. It will end up falling.

Rocky Road Bundles! ♥

Hey guys!

Today I got a really exciting post to share with you guys! Rocky Road Bundles! Say whaat? As you can probably tell, this dessert is based off of the Rocky Road flavour (I think?) Its ingredients are: Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chips, Marshmallows and anything crispy! Originally when I found this recipe, it included Ramen to be the crispy part, but I didn't like the idea of adding Ramen plus I didn't have any Ramen lying around the house...So, I tried the recipe with Lucky Charms Cereal instead. There are many things you can substitute Cereal/Ramen with. You can try using Rice Krispies Cereal or Almonds (Nuts), anything crunchy really. I mean, this IS Rocky Road.

Watch the tutorial here: tutorial 








Aren't they just the coolest? Oh, and here's the best part, NO BAKING IS NEEDED! Yeah, awesome right? Usually having to put things in the oven either is; tiring, chance of burning, time consuming, and messy! But this recipe only requires you to put it in the freezer. Usually the recommended time you leave it in the freezer is an hour, but in my case since I used an actual big freezer, it only took about 30 minutes. They stay pretty frozen on their own, so there's no worries that it will melt the moment you take it out of the freezer. You will get some chocolate on your fingers, but that doesn't worry me. I love licking my chocolate filled fingers! Hahahha. This recipe is absolutely delicious, crunchy, chewy, absolutely a must try. 

TIPS/NOTES:

♥Even though the recipe requires for you to put 1 cup of Peanut butter, I recommend you put less. Unless you want the peanut butter taste, put only half a cup or estimate how much Peanut butter taste you want in your Rocky Road bundles. 

♥Other ingredients you can use to make it crunchy are: Nuts (Preferably chopped Almonds), Rice Krispies, Other Cereals. Anything that is crunchy. Experiment!

♥Even though I mentioned that it does not melt easily, I still do not recommend you leave it out for too long. It belongs back in the freezer after you've eaten it. 

♥You do not need to completely follow the recipe. You can experiment, depending on your taste you may add more or less of the ingredients (the marshmallows, cereal, etc) 

Alright then, good luck! Let me know if you tried this and how it went for you!

Blue Glam Nail Art♥

Hey everyone!



You guys will not believe how easy it is to achieve these cute blue glitter nails. This may look like a bunch of complication (if you don't, then alright smarty pants!), but it actually is not at all. It took me about 5 mins to complete these nails. Maybe even less! If you have some left over crafts lying around the house you no longer use, FIND them right now! These are super cute for any occasions, and is just the perfect design.


STEPS:
1. Get any glitter of your choice. 
2. Apply a base coat on the tips of your finger.
3. Instantly dip your fingers in the glitter.
4. Tap off the excess, and dab more top coat on the glitter to make sure it's all glued together.If however you have adhesive glue for nails, it would be preferable to use that.
Done!

Now you have these really cute and fun nails you can show off to your friends! Easy isn't it? :))
