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!

fill in the blank _______

This is my weekly post so please bare with this... I promise i will do a interesting post tomorrow.

1. The last thing I do before going to sleep is check the time on my cell .

2. When I can't sleep I start turning around left and right in bed .

3. The first thing I do when I wake up is brush my hair first then wash my face of course .

4. When I'm tired I eat something and just sleep it off .

5. My dream bedroom would be Oh! I should go back to my dream to describe the whole thing exactly, But I will still try.. My dream bedroom contain a big and huge bed and pure white linens and a fluffy comforter and a super super fluffy pillows.. White walls with pink carpet and a whole bunch of cushions on my bed without any room for anything else. And a huge bathroom with a bigger shower space .

6. If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be in my dream bedroom! Ah how wonderful would it be? I would also request for a "breakfast in bed" .

7. The longest sleep I've ever had was I really don't remember. I sleep for atleast 7 hrs. But I think I slept for like 11hrs straight once .
