Can Smoking Cause Hallucinations?

Cleansing Gel hair! What an experience! Coco / Blueberry / Strawberry and Violet! Pros and cons

Idées de départ : 


Après être entrée par hasard dans une boutique Lush (vente de cosmétiques fait maison paraît-il !!!), j'y ai découvert leurs gelées de douche. En fait c'est un compromis entre le gel douche liquide et le savon solide sous forme... Gélatineuse !!! En fait ils obtiennent ce résultat en ajoutant à leur base de shampoing de la gomme carraghénane. Bref pas sorcier ! Du coup, vu que je n'ai plus de shampoing et que j'ai un mois à attende pour le séchage de savons solides, j'ai eu envie de tester mais avec de l'agar agar.
Second idea: I discovered last week of buttons ... Monstrously good: Gerard Mulot, rue de Seine in Paris. and I tasted a macaron that I particularly liked perfume cassis / violet. It made me so much that I wanted to test Blueberry / purple in cosmetics!


Ingredients per 100 ml:

- 48% or 48 ml of infusion of hibiscus flowers (mineral water + a few flowers, procedure below)
-0.4% or 0.4 g of Agar-Agar Gelling
- 30% or 30g Base Consistency Foaming (ultra mild surfactant)
- 5% or 5g Babassu foam (surfactant with excellent foaming)
- 4% or 4g Silicone Plant (strengthens hair, rich in minerals core, mantle, smooth and tightens the hair scales)
- 4% or 4g vegetable glycerin (moisturizes, softens and smooths the hair)
- 4.5% or 4g of Vegetable Oil Coconut ( nourishes and smooths the hair fiber, flavor and makes the hair shiny and strong)
- 1% or 33 drops of Bilberry Extract Aromatic (mmh)
- 1% or 33 drops of Aromatic Extract Violet (feels so so good)
- 1.5%, or 1.5g or 50 drops of lactic acid (acidifier, moisturizer, provides shine to hair)
- 0.6% or 20 drops Conservative Cosgard

1 / Preparation of ingredients and disinfection of the work plan, equipment, and hands
2 / In a stainless steel bowl I mix mineral water and agar agar (I put twice each as by boiling the mixture I know that I'll inevitably loss)
3 / Once in my pan, add the mixture some hibiscus flowers; attention, with such small amounts that mud very quickly! Once this much mud, I cover my pot and I put my pan aside. I discover it 5 minutes later.
4 / Now I prepare my mixture of surfactants:
5 / Then, once my hibiscus infusion agar-agar over I pay the amount I need in a stainless steel bowl. I need to add a little water (here 4g)
6 / Then I pour my tea in the mixture of surfactants!
7 / Surprise! Damn! In contact with a basic solution my brew turns green! Nice! No there really is not very appetizing.
8 / Well I go again all the previous steps, taking care to add lactic acid and incidentally Vegetable Oil coconut my phase surfactant before adding the tea ... which is pink! Phew! was therefore a question of pH!
9 / Then add 4 g Silicone Vegetal and I wave:
10 / Damn the picture is super condition: good then add Aromatic Clips!
11 / And finally the Conservative ...
12/ Mais finalement je suis obstinée, et je reviens à mon premier mélange tout vert en me disant que tant pis j'y mettrai selon les mêmes quantités des HE Citron vert et Menthe verte. Après tout ce n'est pas bien dramatique ce vert épinard ! Et là surprise ! En ajoutant l'acide lactique mon mélange vire à nouveau au rose ! Moins pêtant que l'autre mais rose quand même ! Alors j'abandonne mes HE, j'ajoute le silicone végétal et plus d'infusion (je veux tester sans huile végétal pour voir quelle gelée shampouineuse prendra le mieux), et enfin une fragrance différente : Charlotte Strawberry:
13 / So I pour my first mix (oil, strawberry charlotte) in a silicone mold:
14 / I repeats the process with my second mixture Blueberry / Violet coconut and vegetable oil that already seems much more liquid (see the two photos to compare, it is obvious):
15 / And Now we go for at least 30 minutes in the fridge ... And there like a redneck, I do not attention to the side of deforming a silicone mold and of course I paid almost half in the fridge! I do not say as I was happy! In addition to my mix blueberry / purple was (barely) paid in the second! Grrr!
30 minutes later: the liquid mixtures are also in the beginning ... Good to see news in 30 minutes ...
Walk This Way! Oh! it's not true! (Joy behind the computer)! Ok, I am no longer near 1/2h, I'll wait turn out for my shampoo! Youhou! It works! (Euphoria)


Removing and observation
uh ... Disaster, it does not! And then I realize that when making desserts agar agar or carrageenan they always put in glass jars, rigid molds.
Never mind I left! I take glass jars, frozen in and put my head for the refrigerator! 1 hour later, I still demolded but in fact my jellies are too soft, they do not. Bon ben too bad, they will remain in glasses!


Why does not it? How can we improve?
In fact I read in a cookbook for kids and other special agar gelling / thickening with agar agar too acid could break the fibers agar ... A test may be with other surfactants at neutral pH (Base Foaming Gentle, Gentle Coconut, but not foaming base consistency) without adding acid so, or very little.


Personal Impressions: Well that's it and I tested! So it is very surprising ! What I do: I leave the jelly jar, and I rubbed it a few seconds on the head, I put it back in its container, and after it as usual! I rub, it foam a bit, I rinse, I once again, then hides the hair ... And my hair is all clean! By cons, as with other shampoos made earlier, without a mask jelly shampoo leaves my hair clean but rough! Apart from that what it smells like blueberries / purple! A real treat in the shower! Like what the buttons are a great source of inspiration;)

Is 1730 A Good Sat Score

My first experience with soap ... Mission release!

24 hours later ... Mission release ...
They are not pretty my soaps ?
By cons I had a little trouble getting out the "kugelhopf" of their silicone mold. They are still a little soft. Unable to leave the rose and the little "puck", too soft, I'll wait a bit. But given the dryness of our apartment (the humidity ranging from 30 to 40 %...) I think it should dry pretty quickly ...
And now we go for one month of drying. ..

Wrestling Singlet Costurne

My first experience with soap ...

Idea Departure:
Since the time it's tempted me know! But frankly the fact of handling caustic soda, no it did not pass. And then I have a friend who did, and then I bought a book, and then, and then ... I started!
I tell you?


INGREDIENTS 500g of soap for 8% surgras:
- 75g of Plant Oil Coconut BIO (very nourishing, moisturizing, soothing, and feels the divinely coconut ...)
- 100g Organic Shea Butter (rebuilt, softens, protects)
- 267g of Vegetable Oil Olive (anitoxydant, emollient, rich, calm, well-tolerated by sensitive skins)
- 25g of vegetable oil Sesame (refreshing, relaxing, hydrating, antioxidant)
- Caustic soda 60.8g of
- 155g of infusion of hibiscus flowers (antioxidant, moisturizer and dye)


After a lousy first attempt yesterday (I was using soda sodium instead of sodium hydroxide), I retried today good soda!


PROCEDURE IN PICTURES:


1 / Preparation of work plan: protective equipment, ingredients, manufacturing equipment, or almost everything is!
2 / For my infusion of hibiscus flowers, I boiled a pot of water. Then just dip a handful of flowers, put out the fire, closing with a lid and wait 5 minutes!
3/ et voici ce que j'obtiens en fin d'infusion... J'adore la couleur... ! A présent il n'y a plus qu'à filtrer ! Et hop-là dans un tupperware ! Cette infusion je l'ai faite hier. 
4/ Et nous voilà à aujourd'hui le 25 février. je prépare d'un côté la quantité dont j'ai besoin d'infusion (remplaçable par de l'eau tout bêtement) et de l'autre la quantité dont j'ai besoin de soude caustique (en utilisant gants, lunettes de protection, et tablier, les cheveux attachés)
5 / After gently transferred-caustic soda in my Pyrex container (important it is imperative to withstand the heat), I plunge my thermometer that I wave at the same time to promote the dissolution of the soda and mix well mixture. The mixture rises to 91.6 ° C! Things are heating up in there!
6 / After weighing all my vegetable oils and shea butter, the dishes on low heat in my tit saucepan to melt butter and vegetable oil: Coconut
7 / After transferring the solution to gently cooled soda (about 40 minutes later to get it around 45 ° C) in my vegetable oil, I mix with my blender as if it were a spoon. And once the mixture are quite homogeneous, every 30 seconds I am running the mixer 5 seconds ...
8 / And I mix and I turn and I mix, and I mix and I turn and I blend for 5 heavy minutes? Honestly it did not seem super long but I have not done too much attention timing. Less than 10 minutes I think. And there, walking around my mix on the surface of my soap mixture I get what is called the trace! In other words, the portion of the mixture over the mixer toppled drops on the surface of the mixture. Instead of disappearing, they are embossed on the surface of the mixture! It's ready!
9 / So now, the molds direction ... A kugelhopf, purchased from Truffaut! Luckily I had one more (the pink left purchased from AZ) and had empty containers (100 ml jar AZ right)! Tell me it makes soaps 500g! Oula, va y avoir des cadeaux dans l'air ! Parce que si je dois attendre d'avoir consommé tous ces savons (même en n'utilisant plus de gel douche) je ne suis pas prête d'en refaire !!! Sachant qu'un savon de 100g chez nous dure 2 mois ! J'ai pas envie d'attendre perpette pour en refaire ! ;)
10/ A présent, je recouvre de film alimentaire mes moules. Celui-ci doit venir directement en contact avec l'émulsion afin d'éviter ce qu'on appelle la poudre de cendre : la poudre blanche fine à la surface du savon :
11/ Et maintenant, fini for today! I isolate my soaps with a towel and I put them aside ... Tomorrow night: release!

Lamictal Orange Box Side Effects

Lipstick sublime but also nourishing and antioxidant: Red sensual, "flavored with Strawberry Shortcake!

Idea Departure: I dreamed of a red lipstick ... Not pink-red, red-violet, red-ugly, a beautiful red! So I tried a recipe for this first AZ lipstick ... I could not help but change! So my version of the recipe!


INGREDIENTS for 12 ml:
- 4.1% or 0.5 g of carnauba wax (brings toughness and consistency)
- 6.2%, or 0.7g of Wax Rice (brings toughness and consistency)
- 8.2%, or 1g Beeswax white purified (brings toughness and consistency)
- 49.40% is 5.5gd ' Vegetable Oil Germ wheat (very nourishing, emollient, antioxidant, provides shine and spread the lipstick)
- 20.6% or 2.5 g of shea butter (protects, softens, and rebuilds the skin)
- 5.8% or 2 tablespoons TAD of oxide mineral pink (color)
- 3.4% or 1 tablespoon TAD Mica Copper (brings color and light reflection)
- 2.1% or 9 drops Fragrance Strawberry Shortcake (for flavor)
- 0.2% or 1 drop of Vitamin E (Conservative)




1 / Step before I start, I prepares ingredients, and I disinfect the work plan, equipment, bottle and my hands
2 / Preparation of basic lipstick, composed of waxes, vegetable oil and vegetable ghee:
3 / Last in a water bath to melt the shea butter and waxes:
4 / Now add the mineral oxide and mica to give color to my lipstick:
5 / Then I add 9 drops of fragrance Strawberry and 1 drop of vitamin E (I forgot to take the picture)


6 / And finally I poured the mixture into the tube and the mold before placing the entire 15 minutes in the freezer:
7 / And then, horror! I realize I have forgotten the fragrance and vitamin E, so I quickly recast my mix before transferring to the new flaconette.
After stripping, I realize that there is almost nothing in the mold ... The mixture solidified in flaconette ... Before moving the little white gate ... never mind, I put my flacondirectement in a pan filled with water to remove the mixture. Not only there were everywhere, but most of the plastic bottle was partially melted by the heat ... I'm thrilled! Longer possible to close it.
the coup this morning I re-tried! I redid my lipstick and rebelotte, the mixture solidifies too quickly in the bottle and nothing has poured into the mold. I only had time to notice it soon! So I emptied the bottle as I could, I presented to melt my mix and I filled the mold without flaconette ... short, it lacks a good centimeter ... Galley and it was great but at least I managed to make it a little! By cons I did not understand why it happened so quickly solidified in flaconette. Previously I had a lip balm that I wanted to do with the mold lipstick and I had no problem. Weird ... Girls, if you have any suggestions, tips, I'm all ears!


8 / photo application (lipstick and mascara home):



 IMPRESSIONS PERSONNELLES :
Mis à part la réalisation complètement catastrophique, je trouve le résultat vraiment très joli ! Je suis super contente ! Et puis il ne fait pas que faire joli et sentir super bon, il protège et nourrit mes lèvres ! Classé au rang de souvenir le "je mets du stick à lèvre et après je mets mon rouge à lèvre conventionnel" ! Là il fait tout à la fois ! Il embellit et prend soin ! J'aime !

PROCEDURE IN PICTURES:
1 / First step before I start, I prepare ingredients, and I disinfect the work plan, equipment, the pot of cream, and my hands
2 / Preparing my oily phase: Emulsifier Olivem 1000, and vegetable oils
3 / Preparing my second aqueous phase in a stainless steel bowl: mineral water, hydrosols and aloe juice vera:
4 / In a third bowl stainless steel, I pay 0.2g of xanthan gum (the juice of aloe vera tends to destabilize the emulsion otherwise), then I poured at once into the bowl stainless steel from the aqueous phase.
5 / Focus bath my two phases to melt the emulsifier Olivem 1000, rehydrate and xanthan gum so that it becomes part of my aqueous phase for this, I shake well aqueous phase:

PERSONAL IMPRESSIONS:
But I already used on hands, and that's how to say ... I love it! That's it to do that, a caress of roses in the garden. Olfactory level, it's a real treat:)
For cons, the cream is thick enough, if I put a little bit too much, it does not penetrate the skin and leaves white marks on hands ... Okay little cream, try not to be too greedy!
After application, skin is beautiful, well hydrated and nourished, all pink!
After this first contact really exciting, I tell you: Strongly shower!
And now, I have tested it after the shower. If it is a little too rich for my skin dry especially not in the body (I have a little too well), apply it is a pleasure! What it feels good! and then what it leaves skin soft!
I tested again my cream on the body last night but on the face yesterday morning.
Regarding the body, I put a little less this time, and leaves the skin wonderfully soft, I'm extremely pleased, she made a beautiful and perfectly moisturized skin, not to mention the perfume that I love!
hands on the effect is still impressive! In fact last night I made to test a very demanding girlfriend really dry hands. She was blown away with the result, immediately his hands were soft and well hydrated! So blown away, she commissioned me! More in one evening this same friend asked me what I had done my facial skin that was particularly beautiful that night. I told him that I had done nothing with it and thinking I realized that I had put this cream that morning! Indeed she succeeds very well ! I was really inspired to put this duo aloe vera and honey in the same cream! Overall, the result is really stunning on your skin! I've never seen it so before! A big hit for me then!
