Eco-Friendly Beauty - Plaine Products

Image
When I stayed at a fancy-pants hotel in Vancouver last year, I remember thinking that I loved their refillable shampoo, conditioner and body wash pumps . I hate throwing away all those tiny, half-used bottles – it seems like such a waste. We throw away SO MUCH garbage in this country, and only 5-10% of the plastic ever makes it to a recycling center. And even if it gets recycled, it usually ends up in a landfill or in our lakes and oceans at some point. Plus, when you recycle a plastic bottle only 10-20% of it can actually be successfully recycled and what is recovered is often downgraded into another form of single use plastic. According to National Geographic, if we don’t change our ways by 2050 there will be 12 BILLION metric tons of plastic in landfills and waterways. There will be more plastic than fish in the ocean! Say what? That’s a staggering amount of destruction to our planet. Above is a pic of Maui, Hawaii, from my birthday trip in April. Can we PLEASE keep our oceans look...

How to make Bath Bombs with Pink Himalayan Salts

Image
Homemade bath bombs are all the rage these days. They are so easy to DIY and there are a ton of different bath bomb recipes out there. I love how easy it is to personalize your bath fizzies’ scent with essential oils . Some of my favorites to use include Lavender (Relaxation) and Peppermint (Pick-Me-Up). Mom Always Finds Out may have received one or more of the products mentioned in this blog post for free or discounted price. Regardless, all opinions expressed are my own. This blog post may contain affiliate links. I have been on a Pink Himalayan salt kick ever since I learned about how good it is for you. This pretty pink salt is one of the purest salts on Earth and is high in mineral content. The fine- grained Pink Himalayan salt is good to use for bath bombs because it dissolves quicker than the larger sized salt crystals . If you don’t have any Pink Himalayan salt at home, you can substitute another type of salt. Epsom Salts work great in this recipe, too. The main thing to ...

Philosophy Fresh Cream & Cinnamon Buns Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath Review

As a guy it’s fantastic that Philosophy produce truly multi tasking cleansing products , product that you can use from head to toe and is genuinely effective in each of the three uses, as so often this isn’t the case.  This a must have product for your gym bag or if you do a lot of travelling as your only packing one product instead of three. Both of these shampoo, bath & shower gels have a rich creamy texture , which is very concentrated and you only need to squeeze a small amount under running water to create the most divine fragrance that fills the bathroom and lots of soft creamy bubbles that you just want to dive into.  In the shower I use a scrunchie which creates a beautiful lather that envelops the skin in the most heavenly cascade of bubbles. I love that on the front of both of these bottles there is a recipe to make your own Cinnamon Buns & Fresh Cream creations .  I am now going to go into more detail about the fragrances of these bath and shower gels. Cinnamon Bu...

How to Make Rosemary Lavender Bath Salts

Image
Have I mentioned how much I love to pamper myself? Not that I get to do it often, but still, I can dream.   I don’t get to do “spa days” often (think maybe once a year, sigh.) Instead, I’ ve found ways to make my own spa products for much less money. This Rosemary Lavender Bath salts recipe is so easy, with only four ingredients, but it smells great and feels so relaxing when mixed in with a bath. You’ll need Epsom salts, rosemary AND lavender essential oil , cornstarch and if you want them to be colored, food coloring. Step 1: To make the bath salts, pour one cup of Epsom salts into a medium bowl. Add 5 drops of each of the essential oils to the salts. If you like a stronger scent, feel free to add a few more drops. You can easily add up to ten drops. Step 2: If you would like the bath salts to be colored, use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the food coloring of your choice. We used yellow.  Stir the salts until the color is blended.  If you use the food coloring, allow 30 minutes to an h...

Philosophy x QVC Classic Shower Gel Collection + Giveaway

Image
I’m the type of person who lives for bubble baths. Many beauty lovers say that on a bad day there’s always lipstick (which I agree with) but for me there’s nothing that helps me relax and unwind like a good bubble bath to melt away stress. Philosophy makes some of my favorite shower gels – many of them are multi-tasking products that you can use for the hair, body wash and bubble bath (and they actually work for both hair and body). My go-to for years has been the Amazing Grace Shower Gel and I’ ve lost count of how many bottles I’ve used up. QVC has a lot of value sets and I’m excited to team up with them to share Today’s Special Value in the Classic Collection which has four super- sized 32 fl oz shower gels in Lemon Custard, Orange Pineapple Smoothie , Fresh Cream and Cinnamon Buns. The set is offered at a value price of $79.96 for today only and QVC is also giving away one set via The Beauty Look Book. When I first opened the box – I intended on splitting this up into gifts...

Under Pressure - The New York Times

Bruno Goussault, 63, is both a scientist and an economist. He has been training chefs like Fabio Trabocchi at the Ritz-Carlton and Michel Richard at Citronelle, both in Washington, Dan Barber at Blue Hill in New York and Daniel Boulud at Daniel, also in New York, not only how to use sous vide but also to understand the science behind it. Where Escoffier organized the way chefs cook, dividing the professional kitchen into stations (sauces, cold foods, sautéing, pastry), Goussault has reprogrammed their approach to temperature, technique and taste -- their fundamental understanding of cooking. At Charlie Trotter's in Chicago, the intense heat and scrape of pans against the stove is giving way to an almost placid atmosphere, the barely audible hum of water baths that run 24 hours a day. Dufresne, the chef at the innovative Manhattan restaurant WD -50, calls Goussault's contribution to cooking "monumental." The advancements he has made are on par with the invention of t...
