My review: Auromere, Ayurvedic Herbal Soap


Auromere, Ayurvedic Herbal Soap, Sandalwood-Turmeric with Neem, 2.75 oz (78 g)







Well, a very unusual smell, and it is not roses. It smells slightly herbal with some spices and a little bit as a usual soap. The box in which the order was delivered still retains this smell (1,5 week passed). Because of a strange smell I can only advise fans of the exotic. It's not ok for dry skin - my sister washed her hands (she has dry skin) and she told me so. After washing my hands have this smell.

My review: Hobe Labs, Energizer, Hair Follicle Stimulator


Hobe Labs, Energizer, Hair Follicle Stimulator, 8 fl oz (237 ml)





Slightly oily consistence and the smell of remedies for hair. Because of the consistence I thought that the hair will become dirty very quickly but this did not happen. Hair becomes more rigid, you no need any styling mousse, hair is well placed and not dirty at all. The feelings are very nice. I'll mark A.

My review: One with Nature, Dead Sea Mud Soap Bar


One with Nature, Dead Sea Mud Soap Bar, 7 oz (200 g)





It looks like the laundry soap, that's why the smell and color is specific. I washed up my face and body for 1 week. The smell of course scares but the face is fresh and clean. No pimples and redness at all! My mark is A- (minus sign is for the smell).

My review: cocoa paste & coconut manna

I'll continue food theme today :)

Cocoa paste




Who tasted a chocolate with 90% of cocoa? And 99% of it? This paste is almost the same)) I mean that the taste is very similar. But it's even harder then chocolate, it is more fragile, and not a soft as butter. Of course, you don't need to eat this paste, it's for cooking  the different kinds of chocolate desserts. Well, there is not any harmful sugars as in ordinary chocolate. And the quality of the cocoa ... I do not know how to explain ... but if you melt a piece of pasta, you will sniff the  amasing smell of cocoa as in the courts of French kings) 


It can be ordered here

Another interesting product is 




To be honest, I'm in general not been spoiled by the products of the coconut, so I thought this manna is something like cereal or pasta), but it is not. I had to split it off from the jar with a knife or to melt it)) 
It's very tasty! As a coconut oil with some coconut flakes, but the flavor and taste is better. At first I ate it with a spoon, then decided to use it in some desserts. And here is it ;)
You can find it here

Sweet and healthy!

Today will be a post about food and sweet :)

As already mentioned, I try to stick to a healthy lifestyle. But also I veeeeEEEEeery like everyhing what is sweet )) Well, very very like! Day is lived in vain if I don't eat something sweet))) But my waist in the mirror looks at all this very dissaprovengly) That's why I prefer to cook desserts by myself. 


Today I will tell you about some simple and essential for the sweet tooths products and then I'll give some recipes :)


The best sweetener is Stevia. Who hears this designation for the first time, it's better to google about it. I'll tell short - this is a usual herb, but it is sweet. People learned how to make from it a usual white powder, by the taste it remindes sugar, but stevia is sweeter. And now attention-  stevia has NO calories, NO carbohydrates, NO glycemic index and does NOT raise blood sugar. Do you see the opportunities of using it?? ) Personally I believe that stevia is a great future, I'm sure it will substitute sugar.


So, what 
can iHerb offer? :)





I have tried this



NuNaturals, NuStevia, White Stevia Powder, 100 Packets, 3.5 oz (100 g)





This stevia is in single packeges. To be honest, I didn't like it, because tea and coffee I drink is not sweet always (I don't like sweet tea, for example), and a time to break the 6 packages for dessert is uncomfortable. But the taste is good.Next: a cocoa extract on alcohol (bugaga) and Stevia






This is a sweet alcohol with chocolate flavor. It didn't impressed me, because it is not too sweet, and I  need to pour a lot, and then the alcohol is felt. But it is ok to use when you cook candies. In this case such extract is useful)Next Stevia is my favorite at the moment







Just a white powder in a jar. I think it is sweeter than the number 1. When I cook I use every time just a teaspoon of it or even less, it is very economical rate. All baked goods are very sweet.


And this





jar here is much smaller than number 3, but stevia is sweeter. I'm not very comfortable to use it. Although better than the packeges (from №1).Now we are moving to the next my "mate" :)



Now Foods, Healthy Foods, Almond Flour, 10 oz (284 g)




In fact, it is not a float, but just a very finely milled almonds. But as for my country (Belarus) to buy 300 grams for $ 5  Is very profitable. Because the usual almonds costs twice as expensive, and in addition youl need to grind them.
This flour is simply irreplaceable, and I have spent it all the time. It's my third pack) I really love to bake cakes out of it, such fragrant obtained and not terrible for stature ))

And the last character)



Meyenberg Goat Milk, Non Fat Powdered Goat Milk, 12 oz (340 g)




Cow's milk and cow products contain lactose, which is also a sugar and raise insulin levels, that's why it is not recomended to people who try Montignac diat (as me) to eat in a day more than 150 grams of milk. But the goat's milk is ok, you can eat it as much as you want. tha'ts why I tnink that this product is also very versatile.

Who saw the usual powdered milk and diluted it with water - it looks exactly the same. I don't like to drink milk (cow's, goat's etc), and I can tell nothing about the taste However, in cocktails and in baking it creamy delicate taste.Well, for those who could read through to the end, as a reward I'll post a pair of recipes)

Almond cakes without flour





Ingredients:


6 egg whites

90 g almond flour
dessert spoon stevia number 3
vanillin

Recipe: accurately separate the egg white from the yolks and beat in foam)) Foam must be thick: if you turn a bowl top-down, foam don't falls out. Than add stevia and vanilla, beat just a little bit and or mix with a spoon. Add the almond flour and mix again. Thats all))) Pour into molds and put in preheated oven.I got out of this dough nine cupcakes. Bake until done - cakes must become golden in color . It is nessasary to give give a cool (otherwise it will taste of eggs) and eat))))Calorie Calculator:


total calories - 664, protein - 95 Fat - 45 carbs - 11 (in the form of fiber from the nuts)

One cupcake:protein - 10.5Fat - 5carbohydrates - 1.2kcal - 74And for those who do not want such cripsy, but more delicate, I suggest a recipe with milk) (I'll add photo later)

I call it Muffins without flour 

Ingredients:


6 egg whites

90 g almond flour
50 ml of diluted goat's milk
Tablespoon of Cocoa
dessert spoon stevia number 3
vanillin

The trick is that cocoa acts as a flour and glued together with milk) Muffins obtained gentle, mild.
Everyone enjoy your meal and shopping)

My review: Heritage Products, Rose Water


Heritage Products, Rose Water, Rose Petals, 4 fl oz (120 ml)



It's summer again! And that's why I again have to moisturize my skin and in my case, the cream is not suitable (clogged pores ,blackheads appear ... just smear a mask for excample,  go outdoor and hop! skin is oily again ) in general, I  take it everywhere, you never know where it is necessary to refreshthe face. Also the smell is nice (I like to smell like roses :)), Few days ago I decided to visit my mother, and before dinner I went to bathroom to wash my hands and to use this water. My mother suddenly runs and with such a suspicious look asks: "Have You bought  a new  perfume? "(because the smell is very good :)))

You can order it herePleasant shopping to everyone! Love yourself!
