Review: Huawei E5331 Mobile Wifi

One thing I simply can't live without - the internet! You too I assume? hehe. Well unlucky for us who live in the the Philippines, internet is very slow when you have to be on the go! I'm a globe postpaid subscriber and I just usually use my data plan, but it sucks! It's almost like dial up! And my phone gets super hot when I use it as a hotspot. Booo!

Here's the good thing though! :D One of the many things my boyfriend gave me recently, is a mobile wifi. Particularly, the Huawei E5331.

DIY: Homemade Buttermilk

I have taken up baking recently, and since I'm such a noob at everything cooking related, I do not know which places are the best to look for some ingredients used in baking. Just a few weeks ago, I made some red velvet cupcakes, and I've bought everything except for BUTTERMILK! I searched 3 different grocery stores, went back and forth the milk aisle, dairy, etc… and hey.. no buttermilk! So I looked it up, I was wondering if maybe I can omit that certain ingredient. But hey, no. That's because buttermilk is one of the key ingredients that make your cake moist. I decided to look for an alternative, and here it is - Make your own buttermilk. :D Yayy! It's super easy actually, and the things you need for this is pretty much already available in your kitchen.

What you need:

1 cup of milk

1 tablespoon of distilled white vinegar

How to:

Pour the white vinegar on the milk and stir. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes. And ta-daaaa! It's ready to use. :) 

DIY: A Twist On Your Toast

Don't you get bored with your usual buttered bread toast? Well I sure do! However, some of us just don't have the time or skills to cook. :( So here are some (not so new) ideas on how to have your bread toast in a more tasty way. 

Chocolate Toast

 Please excuse the low quality pic. :D

What you need:

-Bread ( I prefer a loaf bread)

-Milo / Ovaltine (Or any malted chocolates powder you have available)

-Condensed Milk

Steps:

-Spread a fair amount of condensed milk on your bread

-Sprinkle some chocolate powder over it

-Place in your toaster for 5 minutes or less 

Isn't that easy?? This is perfect for those moms who are having a hard time to get their kids to have breakfast. I know, because my 10 year old brother is very picky but he loves loves loves this! You can even use a cookie cutter to cut it into fun kiddie shapes.

Sweet Mozzarella 

What you need:

-Bread 

-Butter

-Mozarella Cheese

-Sugar (I used brown sugar just because its what we have, but you can use any type of sugar)

Steps:

-Spread butter on your bread

-Top it off with bits of mozzarella cheese (easier if you have the shredded ones)

-Sprinkle with a little bit of sugar

-Place in your toaster for 5 minutes or until it becomes toasted or when you see the cheese has melted.

For those who does not like chocolate so much, I recommend this. This is my go to food when I'm tired of cereals, and there's nothing to eat for breakfast. The sugar is just perfect as it contrasts the saltiness of the butter and cheese. 

DIY: Pimple Treatment Face Mask

My skin is usually clear but every month there comes a time when I breakout so much, and would get dry patches on my cheeks. I've tried several pimple creams but either they are not effective or can be too harsh on my skin. I've tried tea tree oil and sad to say it is just not as effective and can be costly as well. I've done some "research" (googling actually) and stumbled upon this easy and very affordable face clearing mask. It is a mixture of honey and aspirin and I apply it on my face every 2 weeks with or without pimples. It cleared my face off of blemishes, and rarely I would get pimples during my time of the month. It also leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and moisturized. 

WHAT YOU NEED:

Uncoated Aspirin (I use Bayer)

Honey (Make sure they are unflavored)

Hi!!

This blog will be of all sorts of things. I often read blogs of different topics - beauty, fashion, graphic design, technology, etc; and I'd have to say I've taken up so much interest on all these things, however I am no expert in any of these fields, hence the title :/ lol.

Needless to say, my blog will cover just anything and everything I randomly think of. Be it product reviews, photoshop techniques, beauty DIY's, etc., name it!

That's about it :) I hope yall would enjoy reading my future musings.
