]]>Sheer Foundation
Not all foundations are full-coverage and opaque. If you’re used to making your skin look completely one-tone or contouring, try out some lighter foundation. This will help you get used to seeing your natural skin in the mirror while still providing some correction and evening your tones.
Focus On One Feature
Another option is to skip the full face and instead use a bit of makeup to make one feature pop. Maybe this means mascara and a bit of eyeshadow, or some nice lipstick. This can help you get to know your own features and get familiar with your natural beauty.
Go Absurd
If you’ve historically used makeup to blot out imperfections and not as a form of self-expression, it can be fun to try out different out-there makeup looks to show off your personality. Maybe that means unconventional lipstick and eyeshadow colors or face glitter. There are endless possibilities and they don’t need to include any kind of “corrective” makeup—your face is perfect as-is, and it doesn’t need to be corrected.

]]>Right After Breakfast
When you first wake up, your body gets a boost from the hormone that makes you alert, cortisol. Some scientists think drinking coffee during that boost can create even more cortisol than you need. Or, it can be a waste of caffeine because your body is already waking you up. It’s better to drink after breakfast when you need the boost more.
After Lunch
People often feel a lull in the afternoon, especially if they eat a big lunch. If you’re at work and need a pick-me-up, this can be a good time to have a cup of Joe. The extra boost may also help with concentration, and a nice warm drink is a lovely way to decompress mid-workday.
Before a Workout
To help get psyched up before a workout, many people drink energy drinks or caffeine-induced protein shakes. These can raise energy levels for a higher-intensity workout. But, you don’t need to worry about fancy fitness drinks—coffee will do the job just fine.

]]>The first three ingredients you’ll need are chicken stock (powder is just fine), fresh garlic, and soy sauce. Chicken stock will be your base, so start by boiling some in a pot. Use a heaping tablespoon of powder if that’s what you’re using. Don’t use too much or it will be too salty.
Crush 3 or more cloves of garlic and add to the pot. If you don’t have fresh, use garlic powder. If you like some extra zing, fresh ginger or ginger powder are a delicious addition to make a more authentic broth. This is also very soothing if you aren’t feeling well.
Finally, add your soy sauce. Start with a teaspoon and add more to taste. This is what will provide you with the umami flavor that defines ramen. If you like, try adding a bit of sesame oil and green onions on top.
(@_kaccyi_no_insta_)Now you can add your noodles, and try dropping in a raw egg to cook for some protein. Enjoy!

]]>Valuables
First and foremost, keep valuables like nice jewelry and electronics with you. We tend to rely heavily on our laptops and tablets, so it’s best to always have these on you in case you need them. Don’t forget to keep the chargers, too. On the off chance that you run into trouble getting your checked bag, your irreplaceable won’t be in jeopardy.
Clothes
For the same reason, you may want to pack a change of clothes (or at least some socks and underwear) in case you’re stuck without your suitcase for longer than you expect. Be sure to keep any medicine you may need on you as well.
Comfort and Entertainment
Beyond these essentials, the rest of your space can be used for comfort and entertainment. Especially for longer flights, pack something to do that doesn’t rely on electronics. This might be a book, an adult coloring book, or some work you need to get done.
For comfort, if you have room, you could bring a neck pillow, a blanket, or anything else you just want with you. To finish off, go ahead a pack a snack. Happy flying!

]]>The Memory Palace
The Memory Palace will immerse you in the past through vignettes and short stories. Hosted by a former NPR reporter, it’s a creative way to learn about history from perspectives you might not have known about before.
Switched On Pop
Switched On Pop is a super interesting way to see pop music in a new light. A music producer and a musicologist analyze current pop hits using traditional analysis techniques. It’s a great way to get a deeper understanding of the music you listen to. It also helps you see how music today came out of the music of the past.
(@switchedonpop)99% Invisible
99% Invisible is a podcast about all the things you probably never thought about before. If you’ve ever looked around and wondered “why does our world look how it does?” Then this is the podcast for you. Hear, and many others, wherever you listen to podcasts.

]]>10 Things I Hate About You
“Cruel to Be Kind” and “I Want You To Want Me” by Letters To Cleo.
These will give the playlist hype and have you dancing like a 90’s punk queen.
She’s All That
“Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer.
While still an upbeat song, this classic jam will have you wistfully walking down the street as if you were walking down the aisle.
Say Anything
“In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel.
As the song playing on the boombox that John Cusack holds above his head in one of the best-known rom-com climaxes, this song is simply too iconic to leave out.
Clueless
“Rollin’ With My Homies” by Coolio.
Played during the party, the song comes back later in the movie as a symbol of heartbreak–but it will also add some hip hop funk to your playlist.
Dirty Dancing
“I’ve Had the Time of My Life” by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.
As the song played during possibly the most well-known romantic movie moment of all time, when Patrick Swayze lifts Jennifer Grey above his head and her life changes forever, this song must be included on any good rom-com playlist.

]]>The Chex Mixes
Chex has a lot to choose from, both sweet and salty. Classic Chex Mix is a great option, as it has lots of different types of snacks for maximum variety and crunch type in one bag. If you ever ate puppy chow as a child, then you’ll enjoy Chex’s Muddy Buddies–Chex cereal coated in peanut butter, chocolate, and powdered sugar.
Snack Cakes
There is something intensely satisfying about biting into a soft, artificially-flavored cake. Enrobed in chocolate or filled with icing, if this is your craving then gas stations have a plethora of options. They also come in single-serving packets, so if you have a tendency to go overboard on snacks then this is a great way to keep them rationed.
Mixed Nuts
For a healthier and more substantial option, roasted and salted nuts are always a good choice. Nuts are full of protein and healthy fats, so they’ll keep you feeling full when you can’t stop for long stretches. Just be sure to have some water on hand to counteract the salt!

]]>Coffee Butter
Kind of like peanut butter or cookie butter, coffee butter
is the creation of nudge.®, a company that makes different forms of edible coffee. Their coffee butter is particularly unique because it can be spread on toast, mixed into oatmeal, or blended into a smoothie. It’s also fairly healthy, being keto-friendly with minimal carbs.
Snack Bars
Snack company Eat Your Coffee has created snack bars with ethically sourced natural ingredients and a cup’s worth of coffee. If you ever find yourself too tired or hungry to prepare a meal or a drink, then this is a great option to try.
Coffee Jelly
Originating in Japan, coffee jelly is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that will also give you your caffeine fix. Just cook gelatin with sugar and coffee, and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to eat it. The jelly is often served with sweet cream or whipped cream over it.

]]>Sketching
If you’ve got an artistic streak, take a little sketchpad and pencil on your next trip and use the time at the gate to sketch. It’s the perfect time to flex your creative muscle or to work on your technique by sketching your surroundings. When they call boarding you just quickly stash the pad in your bag or pocket and you’re ready to go.
Making Friends
If you’re a social butterfly, you can always strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers. If you’re at the same gate then you have the same destination, so you already have the perfect icebreaker. This is a great way to expand your horizons and practice approaching new people in a low-stakes setting.
Stretching
Once you get on the plane, you’ll have to stay seated for a long stretch of time. That can make you stiff and uncomfortable, so use your time at the gate to stretch out in preparation. You’ll be doing your body a favor by taking this chance to stand and move around before you board.

]]>The post 3 Fruits t Use as an Egg Replacement appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>Applesauce
In a recipe with one egg, you can use 1/4 cup applesauce as an ingredient binder. This works especially well for sweet foods, although it’s best to use unsweetened applesauce to avoid adding too much extra flavor to the recipe.
Mashed bananas
One more well-known baking binder is banana. There are many recipes that incorporate bananas into the batter, including bread, pancakes, and even cookies. This will certainly add some banana flavor to your recipe, but luckily this pairs well with lots of other flavors like chocolate, nuts, cinnamon, and more. You can use half a banana to replace each egg.
Tomato
For savory recipes, you can use 1/4 cup pureed tomato to replace each egg. In a pinch, you can try out other fruit and root vegetable purees as well, like avocado or squash.
