Mzondi Lungu's Favorites

Well after months of mulling over how I can get Mzondi Lungu to contribute to the blog some more, it turns out that the last post directed by him, where he picked out some of her favorite blogs to share with you, was something he would like to do regularly....and by "something HE would like to do regularly" I mean make a list of 7 blogs so that I can compile them together in a post, add text, and spend hours making special buttons for each blog.....but I guess any contribution is better than no contribution.  I still love her.  Anyways, she is really my eyes and ears when it comes to the blogging world, since I don't stray too far away from my favorite art blogs, and he is always pointing me into the direction of fun blogs out there that she loves to read.  So please enjoy Mzondi Lungu's Favorites part II!  Each picture below is a button to their respective blog, so click on each and be sure to take a look around!

Homemade treatments can be very effective. Just remember: Whenever you use natural ingredients or ingredients from your fridge, you should always do a little patch test on your skin first. This way, you'll make sure you aren't too sensitive and won't react with an allergy or irritation. Here are a few home remedies to treat some common concerns:

Eye-Makeup Remover: Olive or Grapeseed Oil

If you run out of eye-makeup remover, look to your kitchen for the solution. Olive or grapeseed oil can be very effective for this purpose. These gentle natural oils break down the solids in mascara, and they nourish the delicate eye area at the same time. Personally, I also believe oil helps condition the lashes and makes them grow longer and stronger, adding a little love to your lid!

1. Boil 8 cups of water and cook the noodles as per the instruction on the packet. Drain, toss with some oil and set aside.
2. Heat a kadhai and add oil. Saute garlic for a minute on low flame. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it gives a bitter taste to the oil.
3. Now add the green onions and carrots and fry on medium-high flame until fragrant. Make sure to keep stirring to avoid burning.
4. Add the noodles at this point and mix well.
5. In a small bowl mix the sugar, vinegar, black pepper and soya sauce. Pour into the kadhai and stir, ensuring that the sauce coats the vegetables and noodles evenly. Cook for two minutes and serve.
