Vanity Planet Ultimate Skin Spa

Several months ago I made an impulse purchase since I saw summer discounts on Vanity Planet website. It didn't take too long to think if I should make the purchase or not since I got 70% off the price!

So I ended up to buy ultimate skin spa facial cleansing system. The packaging included battery operated facial brush, daily cleaning facial brush head, exfoliating facial brush head and also silicone head for sensitive skin in a container which is easy to take with you even if you are travelling somewhere.

It took me while to start using it, I did test it for one week when I received the package and I did notice some changes on my skin but not a huge difference since I was only trying it out.
My skin has been always bad, not the worst but most of the time I always have some pimples on my face, prone to blemishes and black heads.

Now about three weeks ago I decided to start using the facial brush regularly, at least in the evenings and when I do middle shifts or whenever I am off I'm also using it in a mornings too. I am not that good morning person that I would be awake at 4 am to go to wash my face. I wake up 10 minutes before I leave to work.

 Aftes these few weeks of use the brush, I can definitely say that my skin has improved a bit. I do have way less black heads and other impurities on my skin, probably I will never get rid of all of them, but it's been a great improvement for my skin.

Also one thing to mention, I liked a lot that Vanity Planet is completely cruelty free, so everyone can use the products.

Mickey Mouse GInger Bread Cookies (gluten free and vegan)

We are half way of December already and next week is Christmas week! To make our tiny room a little christmassy we bought a small christmas tree we decorated with the christmas ornaments we bought from Disney World last September.

Every year I love making ginger bread cookies, but this year I made them with a new recipe I never tried before. 

These ginger bread cookies are refined sugar free and vegan and so tasty! I wasn't sure how these are gonna be, because I was using some of the ingredients for the first time in my life. 

I wish I would have used more of the spices, since when I tried the cookies I didn't get too much feel of ginger and nutmeg, but still they tasted pretty great ! 

2 Cups of        coconut flour 

1/4 Cups of     Blackstrap Molasses 

2 Tbsp             melted coconut oil 

2tbsp               Tapioca Starch 

2tsp                 Xantham gum / baking powder

2tsp                 Coconut sugar / other sweetener
                       splash of water 

                        Ginger 

                        Cinnamon 

                        nutmeg 

                        clove

Add the coconut flour, spices and rest of the dry ingredients into a bowl and since the mixture doesn't really taste good smell it and if you think you need more spices just add it. I didn't add any amount for the spices, because I usually add them according which flavours I like the most. But you can start with 2-3 tsp of all of the ingredients and add up from there. 

Next add the black strap molasses and coconut oil and coconut sugar (or another sweetener you are using) into the dry ingredient mixture. Start mixing it with your hand and you can add little bit water in to make form a dough. In case you wish to use another kind of flour you can do that but you might not necessarily need add the water, because coconut flour needs more liquid than other flours. 

when the mixtures is looking like a nice take a bit of Tapioca Starch and sprinkle on a table and roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to do the cookies. 

Bake in the over in 200°c for about 10 minutes or until the cookies looks ready

My favourite Winter warmer

It’s first of December, and officially you can have all your christmas decorations in place and no one doesn’t think it’s too early for Christmas. 

Perfect winter warmer after coming back home from the cold weather is Loving earth  organic creamy drinking chocolate. It is perfect combination with homemade coconut mylk. 

I wasn’t sure if I would like it, since it doesn’t have any sugar in it, little bit coconut mylk chocolate and coconut  nectar. 

However I decided to try it out, since I love their chocolate bars and they are amazing! 

When I bought the chocolate powder I tried it with supermarket bought unsweetened almond milk, to be honest I wasn’t really big fan of it, probably I needed to get used to for the taste without sugar. It was one of the first days I got into homemade nut mylks and I got an idea to try it with the coconut mylk, after that I was completely sold for it. 

Next time when I went to Planet Organic I had to buy another container of it, since the cashier wasn’t sure if it’s gonna come in store anytime soon and it was the last one. 

I have to admit that it is not very student budget friendly, but worth of every penny! There was also the choice of dark chocolate, I didn’t try it because I’m not sure if I’m still getting some allergic reactions of dark chocolate.
