Because I hate spending money but also want to look good 24/7, I'm constantly on the hunt for cheap beauty products. I've seen heaps of low-cost DIY tutorials on Pinterest, but I've always been pretty wary of how good they could actually be.
Did it work?: Technically, yes. My hair was definitely less oily. But I didn't like the way it made my hair feel, kinda straw-like and gritty. It also made my hair static-y, but I get the same thing with dry shampoo from time to time. This solution would be good in a pinch, but I wouldn't actively choose it over real dry shampoo.
How to do it: Put two tablespoons of baking soda in a dish, and make sure all the clumps are gone. Add a tablespoon of coconut oil, and mix until it's a thick, runny consistency. It takes about a minute of mashing the oil into the powder with a spoon. I microwaved my oil for about 15 seconds to make it softer, but not to the point where it was warm. Then scrub the mixture into your face for a few minutes, and leave to sit for 10 minutes, before washing off with warm water.
Did it work?: My face felt hella fresh afterwards, and the cleanest it's felt for a while. It was also super soft, though that is probably just from being covered in oil. Even the next day my skin felt incredibly soft and tight. I wouldn't say that this hack is any better than every other store-bought mask out there, but it sure costs a lot less.
How to do it: Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with three tablespoons of water. If you have long hair, double the recipe. Wet your hair in the shower, then pour this mixture over your head. Massage into your roots for about a minute, then rinse. After that, rinse your hair with vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar) to neutralise it.
How to do it: Make a paste of baking soda and water. I did this just by putting a spoonful in my hand and adding small amounts of water until it was gluggy enough. Then use this paste to scrub your hands together for about two minutes. Wash with soap and the tan should be gone! You could use the same process on legs/knees/elbows/anywhere else you need it.
Did it work?: It sure did! These photos don't do it justice because my bathroom light makes my skin look very red. But I had tan-stained palms that would not go away with soap. After just a minute of baking soda scrubbing, they were clean as ever. I will definitely be using this hack again in the future.
Did it work?: It honestly tasted DISGUSTING. It tasted like I'd gotten dumped by a wave at the beach but forgotten to close my mouth. Salty AF. It also really hurt my sensitive gums, and made them sting. After brushing, my teeth were definitely cleaner, and it was a feeling that lasted for like 12 hours. If I could handle the pain and the disgusting taste, it'd be a sustainable way to give my teeth a deep clean every couple of days. But alas, it was too damn gross for me.
How to do it: Mix a spoonful of baking soda with a small amount of water until it forms a thick paste. I just did it in my hand. Then use a Q-tip to apply to the pimple, leave on for 15 minutes, and rinse off with warm water.
Did it work?: YES. I haven't had a pimple for MONTHS, so I was just going to skip this hack. But, almost like my skin knew about this article, the beginnings of a huge pimple began to form on my forehead. It didn't have a head yet, but it was red and sore. After applying and washing off the baking soda paste, I was honestly amazed. It had completely reduced in size, wasn't red at all, and had no soreness. By the next morning, it had pretty much gone. THIS IS WITCHCRAFT.
Baking soda is a LOT more useful than I thought. I truly didn't think any of these hacks would work enough to be worth doing again, but oh boy was I wrong. While I wouldn't replace my shampoo or face masks with baking soda, I'll definitely be using it to get rid of fake tan and pimples.
But to extend the chemical leavening process, baking powder also contains a second acid, either sodium acid pyrophosphate or sodium aluminum sulfate. Neither of these acids react with sodium bicarbonate until they are both: A) wet (i.e., stirred into the batter) and B) hot.
The proteins in eggs become irreversibly denatured when exposed to heat (that is, the proteins unfold and cannot refold into their original shape). These altered egg proteins essentially give the liquid foam a solid structure, allowing it to hold its shape.
Black ganache is magical. Ganache, in general, has great texture - you can make it as smooth or as textured as you like, but this black ganache looks so striking that it is certainly a statement on its own. Inky black and easy to work with, black ganache is a perfect backdrop for this simple bloody rose Halloween cake.
Though this cake is simple, it is meant to make a statement. I can imagine a cake like this being served at a wedding, or an elevated Halloween party. Looking just beautiful enough, until you realize the damage inflicted on this cake - a bloody spray. Maybe a wedding gone horribly wrong? Or a dinner party that ended on deadly terms?
This cake is was fun to make. I have been wanting to make this cake for a while now. I chose to go with a simple, but elegant, large white rose. I made this rose out of gum paste, as well as the stem. I've been loving the look of the exposed stem look on cakes, and I wanted this cake to be simple enough with one stemmed rose. You can also do this with a real or silk rose as well.
Making black ganache requires adding black gel food coloring to the cream before adding it to dark chocolate. The cream should look dark grey. The ganache gets this super inky black once it is mixed. Leave the ganache to deepen in color and come to a peanut butter consistency, ideal for frosting a cake. You can see the texture on this cake, and depth, which can be hard to achieved with fondant.
In order to get a realistic blood spray look, the fake blood needs to resemble the viscosity and texture, similar to chocolate for a drip cake . Too watery and it will absorb into the flower, and, no pun intended, bleed. Too thick and it won't look like a spray. It will be thick and splotchy. Making the edible fake blood allows you to control the texture, and you likely have the ingredients on hand. You need red and purple gel food color, cocoa powder, corn syrup, water and cornstarch. I wanted the blood to look darker, with a tad bit of purple as a nod to the real deal. I've included the recipe below.
It took me a bit to figure out the best way to spray the fake blood for the effect I was going for. I placed a trifold poster board around my cake and lined my countertop with paper towels. Put on an old shirt, just in case you get back splatter. Then I dipped a large stiffer paintbrush (reserved for my sugar projects) in the "blood" and flicked it at the cake.
I stood back a couple feet before flicking the paint brush to create the spray. The part of the cake closest to you will the most of the spray, but the little flecks that ended up on the cake itself looked awesome and I was happy with the results.
Hi, I'm Ashley! Welcome to the Little Vintage Baking blog. I am food photographer and recipe developer of mostly sweet, sometimes savory recipes that are always delicious, and elevated, but always approachable. I hope to inspire you with beautiful, tried and true recipes for all skill levels.
Trust me, kids will love playing with this fake snow or even having a snowball fight! Small children will delight to make a snowman or create own winter wonderland. This sensory recipe is truly a great activity for all ages, and not just for the winter months! Besides, this activity will promote fine motor skills, dexterity, bilateral coordination, and more!
If you try making fake snow with corn starch, you might end up with Oobleck, which is a different sensory recipe. Pure baking soda, on the other hand, is taste-safe and is available at any local grocery store.
To make fake snow, mix four cups of pure baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) with one cup of white hair conditioner. Stir the mixture, breaking the clumps of baking soda apart, and mixing well until the conditioner is evenly distributed. Once you can pick the mixture up and the fake snow forms a snowball, it is ready.
Although parenting does not come with the user manual, your homeschooling can! And you do not need to figure all this out yourself! Please do not reinvent the wheel since I have a test-proven plan and strategy to put you on a fast track toward your homeschooling success!
The secret ingredient to making fake snow less sticky is cold water! Add 1/3 cup of water and then another cup of pure baking soda. You will have homemade fake snow that is perfect in consistency and feels just like real snow.
If your child has cuts on the hands or has other sensitivities, substitute the conditioner for baby-safe gentile body lotion. Alternatively, you can skip the lotion altogether and make your snow with just baking soda and water. (Add water a little bit at a time until the mixture reaches the desired consistency.)
