Teeth Whitening Oil Pulling Chews

 I haven't been very active in the last years, however, that does not mean I have stopped using Pinterest and trying out new things. That being said, I will slowly be updating you with everything that I have done over the past years as well as recent things. For today I am sharing something that I had been reading about a lot but I had not ever tried: oil pulling. There are a lot of websites and people that swear by them and say they are extremely helpful. I did some research and looked through Pinterest for a recipe that caught my attention. And so I stumbled upon one that seemed like a perfect fit for what I was looking for. 
This was the picture on the pin I saw, isn't it beautiful?
 The Pin is taken from a website called Mommy Potamus that has a lot of interesting DIY things you can make at home. You can find the whole article about these oil pulling chews here.

  The ingredients are quite simple: coconut oil and turmeric powder. You also have the option of adding essential oils but that is not a must, I personally didn't have any around so I didn't add any to it. I'm pretty sure that if you added some essential oils to the mix, it will taste much better.

 You melt the coconut oil and add the turmeric powder, plus the essential oil. Then you add one teaspoon to a tablespoon amount to an ice tray or a silicone candy tray (which is what I used). Then you put them in the fridge until they are hardened. Here are how mines looked like:
My final result. Aren't they cute?
 I stored them in a closed glass container to make sure no odors were absorbed by the tablets. Now, I have been trying these out for over a month now and I honestly HATE how they taste. They look so cute and smell delicious but once they are in your mouth...yeah it's not so yummy. However, I do admit I have not tried them with the essential oils so I want to do that with my next batch and then I can give my opinion on that. And another plus note on this is that I have noticed my teeth a lot whiter as well as my overall oral health a lot better as well. 

 Have you ever tried oil pulling? How was it like for you? Any tips?

Easy Tiramisu (Chef Recipe)

Every year for my parent's anniversary I'm in charge of making them a nice cake.  And I have tried to start a tradition with this. One year it's my mom's favorite dessert: black forest cake. The following is my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And finally, the third year is a surprise. It sounds complicated but it's really fun to do it this way and a lot easier. The hard part is to find that "perfect" recipe. Whenever it's about a month until their anniversary, I start my Pinterest hunt on that perfect recipe.  This year it was my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And so I searched through hundreds of pins until I found one that had everything I wanted. The recipe was fairly easy and I had access to all of the ingredients and it even included a YouTube video which is amazing! And I mean, look at how delicious it looks! I took that image from her website.  This pin was taken from Recipe Tin Eats , they have many incredible recipes that I will for ...

Turning trash into treasure: My new TV stand

Does it ever happen to you that you need something but you don't have the money to get it? Or that you don't want to throw something out because you know it has the potential for something way better? Well, both things happened to me with my TV stand. I had just moved into my new apartment which was extremely old and needed a remodeling asap. That's where all of my money went to the endless remodeling. Some of the things I needed to remodel was the kitchen (which is an ongoing project). It literally had a stove and a broken countertop. I went to an app called Wallapop (one of my favs) and then after endlessly searching for some kitchen furniture found one. It was a lot more furniture than what I needed but it was such an amazing price that I said yes to it all.  And so then some friends installed the new kitchen cabinets and countertops but naturally, there were a couple of extra ones. Instead of immediately selling them, I thought of ways to use them around the house. ...

Mani Monday: Summer Feels

Mondays are not always considered the best day of the week. People usually dread Mondays, however, one good thing about Mondays is Mani Mondays! Here in Barcelona city, it is a gloomy, rainy day which means that if you can stay at home, you should. And what better way to spend it then pampering yourself and maybe doing your nails.  Pinterest is full of ideas for nail art if you're having trouble getting some ideas.  I found a picture of one time I did my nails as a summer sunset with a gradient of colors, palm trees, and seagulls, well the typical beach drawing seagulls. I saw three pins I liked and mixed them up a bit. When it comes to nail art, I don't usually follow instructions unless I really feel like I should, so I didn't go onto any websites to do this nail design, I just followed the pictures shown. One was this one on the left, which I saved onto my "Nails" folder on Pinterest. What I loved was the fact that not every nail had palm trees. I had se...
