Funkey Hula

最近日本跟英國流行一個叫funkey hula的呼拉圈,

那是韓國人的玩意, 據說可以有較地減到腰跟patpat位置。

我這個不做運動卻又常吃甜點的人, 買了來試 :P

其實算回港幣都要三百多元。

不過反正都要買, 就買好一點! 哈哈

其實老公也支持我買的  也許他也看不下去了(=___=)"

I am not a big fan of apple pie/ products.  

The reason of making this, is just because of apples are recently on sale in supermarket. 

1 pound for 4 apples, but NOT SWEET AT ALL.  I am not going to buy that anymore :(

ipsa Concealer

網上買的遮睱膏終於收到了! 還有sample送呢 :)

用了ipsa的 Concealer已經第4年了; 

用過很多不同的concealer, 始終都是她的最好。已經介紹了給很多好朋友。

用這個來遮小雀斑, 暗蒼印, 墨等等, 可以cover得很好。

因為她有三色的組合,  可以混和至適合自己的膚色。 

只要調色準確, 就不會出現面上一塊塊色塊情況了。

唯獨是黑眼圈的話, 會比較乾, 要另外再搽別的。

因為英國沒有ipsa counter, 她重要得 即使越洋也要寄過來!! 

Palmiers 蝴蝶酥

來了london以後, 基本上每星期都會造+吃甜點, 

我往後的賤肉橫生將會因為自己今天作的孽

最近在找哪裡有呼拉圈買, 現在開始自救也許都不太遲 :P

Recipe:

1. Prepare the pastry skin, sprinkle sugar on both sides of it;

2. Roll from both side until they meet the centre point;

3. Wrap it with Clipping film and store it in refrigerate for 3 hours;

4. Cut it into pieces, then sprinkle sugar on both sides of it again,

5. Bake at 190C until it becomes golden color, turn it over and bake it for a while :)

* if you are lazy to make pastry skin, you could buy a "ready to use puff pastry" in supermarket.
