Home made Miracle Serum (1)

 Hello my Friends, I bumped into this awesome recipe over the internet, it's an eye serum but I must admit I used it all over the face and body after shower. When I saw all the ingredients put together I HAD TO MAKE IT! But I modified it a bit... So I ordered all the oils from Ebay, a roller bottle and it came out a total of about 20£. I know, I know a bit too much but the good news is you can make it 6 times. So what you need is:
- TAMANU OIL: Often used to treat burns, insect bites and stretch marks
- VITAMIN E OIL: Nourishing, moisturizing and may decrease wrinkles. Often used to heal scars.
- GRAPEFUIT SEED EXTRACT (GSE): Used as an antioxidant to help prevent rancidity in oils.
- MEADOWFOAM OIL: Contains 98% long-chain fatty acids making this oil moisturizing and rejuvenating.
- AVOCADO OIL: Contains natural vitamins B1, B2, and A.
- CARROT SEED ESSENTIAL OIL: Simply the best oil for pampering of more mature skin types. This essential oil works by stimulating red blood cells which improves appearances by adding elasticity and tone to skin.

1 ml Tamanu Oil
1 ml Vitamin E Oil
1 ml Grapefruit Seed Extract
1 ml Meadowfoam Oil
2 ml Avocado Oil
2 ml Carrot Seed Essential Oil
1 Roller Bottle

Using a plastic dropper (pipette), add all of the ingredients into the plastic roller bottle.Add the roller bottle cap and black cap and shake the oils together.The Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is super thick so it will settle at the bottom of the container. You’ll need to shake the bottle before each use. The oils will turn slightly cloudy after shaking, which is perfectly normal.

Home made Ice Cream


If it rains in Minehead that doesn't mean we can't enjoy summer, and when we say summer we say ICE-CREAM
For this recipe I was thinking to use a nectarine and pineapple but since I had a little banana sitting there all alone I thought I add it as well. So for my home made ice cream recipe you will need:


- 1 glass coconut milk (250ml)
- 1 nectarine
- 1 banana
- 1 thick slice of pineapple
- 1 tsp vanilla essence



Wash the fruits, roughly cut them into chunks put them all in the blender, add the milk and the vanilla essence, blend for a minute or two. If you don't have a blender just like I happen not to have one for the moment just put everything in a jug and use the hand mixer.
Pour the smoothie into the ice cream moulds and off they go in the freezer for few hours. From these ingredients I made 6 ice-creams and still had some left, poured it into a plastic bowl, about half of bowl which I put as well in the freezer to be eaten with a teaspoon. So I would say you can get about 10 ice creams from this. Enjoy:)
