Today I'm...

Tasting:

Nothing interesting! Just the normal Dinner and there is nothing for desert. Although I am stuffed, but I dont mind something sweet

Smelling:

Just the body butter I am wearing because it is so cold and my skin gets all dry and flaky

Seeing:

I wanna watch the X factor finale! who watched it?

Hearing:

The clock ticking and the tv is ON!  

Touching:

My laptop.. trying to read some blogs and start commenting on a couple of those posts. Well! if I want others to comment on my blog then I need to start doing that first myself

Feeling:

Sleepy! SO sleepy! After I finish this post, I am gonna go get some ZZZZz' s :)

 

today.. today..

Hey! ya all. Its me. The same old me and with the same old blog! I have nothing to say as of today. Its really boring, day after day to blog sometimes. I am only blogging today because of a stupid challenge I took myself. I must say "a challenge is a Challenge". Why did I pick this idea in the first place? Its really frustrating sometimes to blog every single day. Gosh! I have ran out of ideas to blog. Hands on my head, thinking and thinking but my brain seems to be frozen.

This seems to be the toughest challenge ever. Haha! So what now? Maybe will tell you about my day. I donno maybe today is your lucky day after all. So, Saturday was quite a boring day. I got up and went to the gym as always. Gym trainer helped me do the abs exercise today. Man! that is hard. The only thing I hate about this is - it takes a lotta time for the results to show up. I am so lazy to go the gym these days. I love some workout which involves around dance and fun. I know all will love it too. But I really love the feeling after a complete satisfied workout. haha.. wat else..? Oh ya.. I have a slight head ache since evening. So that was that...


Just Random thought- My life motto these days is : BE PATIENT!! Be Patient! and always have a lil faith.

beauty tips....

Here are some of the random beauty tips that I know off

#1. When you apply black eyeliner to the lower lash line, dab some black eye shadow on top of that for some extra staying power. Your liner will stay darker for hours.

#2. Egg beauty mask : Use the left over egg white from the egg's shell and apply it on your face. Leave it for 15mins and wash off. This makes your skin look soft and bright and tightens stretched pores.

#3. De-tan your skin : Apply the juice of cucumber and lime on your face and hands. Leave for 10-15 mins and wash with plain water. You will see the difference.

#4. Luscious lip : Lining your lips is important. Use a lip liner to line the lips and also fill the entire lips with the same liner. And then apply the lipstick. Your lipstick wont come off even after a meal.


Try these tips and let me know...

Easy and Yummy Zebra Cake ...

Makes one 9-inch (23 cm) cake

INGREDIENTS

4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (8 oz / 250 g) granulated sugar
1 cup (8 fl oz / 250 ml) milk, at room temperature
1 cup (8 fl oz / 250 ml) oil (corn, vegetable or canola is fine)
2 cups (10 oz / 300 g) all-purpose flour
1/3 teaspoon vanilla powder
1 table spoon baking powder
2 table spoon dark cocoa powder [Remember! Dark zebra patterns won’t stand out with light cocoa powder]

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar. Using a hand-held electric mixer or wire whisk beat until the mixture is creamy and light in color

 

2. Add milk and oil, and continue beating until well blended.

3. In a separate bowl, combine and mix flour, vanilla powder and baking powder.

vanilla powder

 

Baking powder

Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat just until the batter is smooth (DO NOT OVERBEAT to prevent air pockets from forming in the batter) If the batter is thin then add more flour.

4. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions. Keep one portion plain. Add cocoa powder into another and mix well.

5. Lightly grease the pan with oil. Or line it with parchment paper (baking paper) like I did

6. The most important part is assembling the cake batter in a baking pan. This is what you do. Scoop 3 heaped tablespoons of plain batter (you can also use a ladle that would hold 3 tablespoons) into the middle of the baking pan. Then scoop 3 tablespoons of cocoa batter and pour it in the center on top of the plain batter. 

IMPORTANT! Do not stop and wait until the previous batter spreads - KEEP GOING! Do not spread the batter or tilt the pan to distribute the mixture. It will spread by itself and fill the pan gradually. Continue alternating the batters until you finish them. The pictures will direct you.

8. Bake for 40 mins in a pre heated oven at 180 C. To check if the cake is ready, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean when ready.

I also added some butter cream frosting on the top. It was even more yummier!! Enjoy the cake!
