Tips and Tricks with Milk

Written by Published on Updated on May 25, 2020 in Monthly Notes

Hellooo,

How is everyone? Last week we were having a mini heatwave which is very unusual around this time of year…:)Then the weekend was a bit dreary with rain and a cold front.  I woke up early this morning and found that the sun is shining again. And  I could hear the birds are chirpppinnggg while I was standing next to my kitchen window.  It’s pretty awesome when the Sun shines, it puts you into that positive thinking mode. 🙂    

I promised that I would post a few more tips on how to use Milk.  But this time I will give you a few tips on what else you can do with Milk. 🙂   

  • Face Mask: In need of a Face Mask?  Well, try this homemade Face Mask by using (you actually need to use powder milk and not fresh pasteurized milk)  Just add few tablespoons of powdered milk combined it the same amount of with tap water until it becomes a paste.  Apply on face for 15 to 20 min and then wash off.  It great I have made this mask and my face had felt lighter and a healthy shine. 
  • Here is another great tip with powdered milk.  You are back from work or you forgot to go by the cosmetic store to pick up some make-up remover?  Combine a few tablespoons of powdered milk and warm water, wash off your make-up.
  • I still use pens when writing, and that’s because I love them. 🙂  But sometimes I am a bit clumsy hehehe  The other day the pen I was writing with fell onto my blouse and I got ink on it.  So, what I did was I left that spot to soak in some milk overnight and washed it off with cold water the following day. 🙂  

That’s about it for now with a few tricks and tips on what you can do with milk!  

Stay safe everyone and have a great week!!

 

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
