Make Your Own Scented Pine Cones1/16/2018 Make Your Own Scented Pine ConesNovember 19, 2015 Filed Under: Home Crafts During the holidays, I love to fill my home with a warm and comforting scent. Pre-children, you could always find several candles and wax tarts in my living room. =) But toddlers + open flames = nothing good. So this year, I found myself reaching for scented pine cones at a local craft store. Then it hit me…why not create scented pine cones with my own custom scent? In my tests, the scent was the strongest for the first 2 weeks. After two weeks they still smelled amazing, but were not as strong. I found my pine cones during a weekend stroll, but if you live in an area where pine cones are hard to come by, you can find them online. I’m so excited that this project turned out so well. Next year, I plan on making my scented pine cones into a wreath like this one. How cute would that be? Not to mention it would smell amazing! =) What You’ll Need: Fragrance/essential Oil of your choice (I used Christmas Tree Cybilla and Cinnamon Sticks) ONE: Preheat the oven to 300 °F. Lay the pine cones on a cookie sheet (lined with aluminum foil if you’d like), and place in the oven for about 30-45 minutes. This helps to kill any bugs on the pine cones, and dries them out completely. If you find your pine cones are still damp, allow them to “bake” for another 10-15 minutes. NOTE: If you bought your pine cones from a store already dry, you can skip this step. THREE: Allow the pine cones to sit overnight. This helps the fragrance fully absorb into the pine cone. I covered my work space with fresh newspaper to help absorb any drops. Once they are dry and no longer oily, they are ready to be placed in a large bowl or Christmas tree for display and scent. They could also be used on a wreath, garland, etc. In our tests, we found the scent stayed strong for at least 2 weeks. These pine cones smell so amazing, I can’t wait to make them every year! What is your favorite holiday scent for the home?

That sounds like so much fun! I love the idea of making a wreath with the pine cones. Your house is going to smell so good. Have fun crafting, and thanks for your sweet comment Rima. ? -Kelsey with Bramble Berry It says that the fragrance smell lasts about 2 weeks. Can I re-add the fragrance oil to pinecones every two weeks? Thanks! I think that would be just fine! We scented them just the one time, but I think you can fragrance them as much as you like. You may try it on just one pine cone to be sure. ? -Kelsey with Bramble Berry You didn’t use an s on the end of pinecone…. so is that 3 to 5 ml of scent per pinecone, or 3 to 5 ml of scent distributed evenly over all of the pinecones? That is 3-5 mL on each pine cone. Sorry about that. The recipe is updated to be more clear! ? -Kelsey with Bramble Berry Very good idea, indeed! Have to make it ? Thank you so much Claire! Have fun giving these a try. ? -Kelsey with Bramble Berry a 5 ml bottle for each pinecone or several pinecones? That is 3-5 mL per cone, which is basically one dropper full. Sorry about any confusion! I updated the recipe to be more clear. ? -Kelsey with Bramble Berry Ohhhhhhh, I’m so glad you posted this! I make pine cone wreaths for inside the house this time of year, so I will wire in a few scented ones too! As to your question…Bayberry is the scent I hunt down for my go-to Christmas Scent. I Love It! Thank you so much Diana, glad you love this tutorial! These will make your pine cone wreaths smell awesome. ? -Kelsey with Bramble Berry Time to go pine cone picking . I think anise and cinnamon EO would smell great. I think that would smell amazing too! Spicy and perfect for the holidays. ? -Kelsey with Bramble Berry What a great and easy idea! And if you can find those cute little tiny pine cones it would be a nice addition to a gift tag or something similar. Thank you Michael, glad you like it! The tiny pine cones would look adorable on a gift for sure. ?

Nanaimo Bars - building a better version1/15/2018 Nanaimo Bars – building a better version.Nanaimo Bars – building a better version. Try this revamped version of the classic Canadian treat with a more substantial base layer and an improved filling.Nanaimo Bars. New and Improved! Yes, I dared to toy with a Canadian classic! The recipe has been around forever but what could make it even better?…well in my opinion at least… but I think you might just agree. I’ve had several requests over the years for a standard Nanaimo Bar recipe but I’d never posted one. There are practically thousands of websites and blogs online that have the recipe published, so I figured, why one more? All of those recipes are practically the same, using all of the same ingredients in almost always the same proportions or even exact measurements. It was a question from a friend who asked about the recipe that got me re-thinking it once again. I found myself doing so after each similar request. I guess it was nagging away at me subconsciously all along. Nanaimo Bars. Adding the custard frosting layer. My old friend and work colleague, Irene, wrote to me on Facebook, “Hey Super Barry-do you have a recipe for Nanaimo Bars where you can actually taste the custard vs. the typical sugar-y attack on the palate?” Immediately, I thought she had pinpointed a specific issue that I also often had with the recipe. Let’s face it, it is going to be difficult to cut the sweetness of a Nanaimo Bar because with a filling of thick icing sugar frosting, they are naturally quite rich. I do like to cut these in smaller portions because of that (I get at least 36 squares out of a 9×9 baking pan ), but I also thought that if I played with increasing the amount of the base layer, that could help to balance the sweeter centre better. After a couple of attempts, I got that part exactly as I wanted it. In order to make the centre a bit more firm, I increased the butter a little and added only whipping cream as the liquid ingredient to bring the frosting together, as in a couple of recipes I’d seen online. I found that the higher fat cream in a small amount, actually worked better because it did not split the frosting and loosen it, as low fat milk can tend to do. Nanaimo Bars. New and Improved! I also added substantially more custard powder to the recipe than many recipes called for. Irene was right, what’s the point of the custard powder if there isn’t a discernible flavour from it? You can find custard powder on Amazon by clicking the affiliate link photo. The result of adding more custard powder also added more firmness and smoothness to the filling.; another bonus. All in all I was very, very pleased with the result. I shared them with some of my friends who are devoted Nanaimo Bar lovers and they all agreed. Perfection!

We gave a peanut allergy in our household and I have peanut free almonds but cannot find peanut free walnuts… I really don’t want to buy the Custard powder, is there anything to sub it with? Ingredients sound like it’s just cornstarch and some unknown flavoring. Someone earlier suggested Jell-O custard dry powder might work. Thanks for any help. It is mostly just cornstarch but people are very particular about the flavour of the filling. I’ve never tried the instant pudding substitution. By using pudding mix you are doing a real disservice to these bars It is worth the money to buy the custard powder (it can be used for other purposes as well.) I guarantee you won’t be sorry. I’ve also tweaked my recipe over the years and now my bottom layer only has 2 TBSP sugar. Helps balance out the sweetness of the middle (and I’m going to use the middle from your recipe next time). I think I have found sweets heaven love your recipes they are so like the ones my grandmother’s and mother would make for me as a child and I now make for my grandchildren and family…..thank you Thanks! Yes, I still love the old time baking I remember as a kid too. I’m just doing my bit to make sure it stays going for generations to come. Like your site but can’t find link button to read recipe ingredients in your blog for Nanaimo Bars Not sure what you mean, you would have had to scroll right past the recipe to get to the comments section. Please try again. To use instant pudding, you need more liquid. I se 1 small package (100g or so) with about 3/4 cup liquid and a cup o butter. Mix pudding powder and liquid first, then cream into butter. Flavour as desired. I put only half the icing sugar, or usually to taste. Made the recipe as written….all I can say is awesome Whipping cream, meaning make your own with heavy cream or use something pre-made like Dream Whip? real dairy cream…straight from the container. You won’t ever see anything but real cream being used around here. There was a little too much bird’s custard for my tastes but everyone enjoyed it just the same. I think I will reduce it next time, just a bit. Would I have to amend the bottom if I left out the coconut, to make it hold together. No coconut in our house. My daughter is allergic. I don’t think you’d have to do anything . Thank you Barry! My wife used to detest Nanaimo Bars until now; they were always too sweet and too big for her. I used 2 Tbsp of sugar and a pinch of cayenne pepper on the base. Cayenne, chilli or habanero pepper adds a slight punch to chocolate. I chilled each layer separately because I was multi tasking. I used 4 oz of bitter sweet chocolate for the top layer because I don’t care for the way chocolate chips melt. Next time I’m going to add more whippIng cream to the middle layer. Do you use salted or unsalted butter? Either you prefer really. I generally use salted because that’s what I’m used to but some brands can be saltier than others, so it’s a matter of preference. When making the topping for this recipe I used Nestle Toll House chocolate chips, Every time I added the butter, 2 tbs as directed, the chocolate would seize. I tried the double boiler, microwave and stove top methods but same result. Not sure if it’s the chips or butter. Love the idea of the ziploc bag!! I am definitely trying this recipe. I appreciate you introducing a recipe from our neighbors from the north and keeping it traditional. I am also very glad to see that it can be adjusted to taste and preference. Thanks for the great ideas! Merry Christmas Barry and Family! I made these with some modifications, for allergies. I used 4 Tbsp. of Cocoa and 400g of Oreo cookie crumbs. They are fantastic. Much better with the extra filling. I don’t find them as rich as the others, which is bonus. I think with these there is a better balance of flavours. The housewife in Nanaimo would be proud of you. Thanks so much for sharing. Thanks Charlie! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Leave a Reply Cancel replyPrimary SidebarHELLO!

Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar – History, Health Benefits and UsesHistory of the apple cider vinegar America trustsJack LaLane is quoted as saying, “Bragg saved my life at age 15 when I attended the Bragg Crusade in Oakland, California.” Anecdotal uses and health benefits of ACVApple cider vinegar (abbreviated ACV) has been around the block and back. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, espoused vinegar as a miraculous healing agent for internal consumption and topical application. There have been a whole host of health claims made about apple cider vinegar over the years. We’ll take a look at which ones have solid scientific evidence behind them in a bit. Right now I’ll list some of the most common anecdotal uses and health benefits reported for apple cider vinegar.
ACV health claims with scientific evidenceWeight lossDiabetes – Blood glucose, insulin response, A1c, cholesterolEar infectionsUsing it for ear infections (otitis media) has been proven to work in a study where patients received an ear irrigation with 2% acetic acid solution three times per week for the maximum of 3 weeks without antibiotic therapy. [9] BUT their is an increased risk of damaging the hair cells within the ear (very important little guys). [10] Not worth it in my opinion. ACV health claims with weaker evidenceOne of the best studies demonstrating anti-tumor activity was a Japanese study that didn’t use apple cider vinegar but a different acetic acid source. They extracted the acetic acid from a traditional Japanese vinegar made from unpolished rice called Kurosu. The study showed a 62% inhibition of colon, lung carcinoma, breast adenocarcinoma, bladder carcinoma and prostate carcinoma cancer cell lines (in vitro at a dose of 0.025%). [11] This was conducted “in vitro” or in test tubes. Whether these results translate into human results requires further investigation and human studies. Blood pressureOne study showed a reduction in blood pressure in a group of hypertensive rats that were given vinegar (in comparison to the control group of rats that did not). The mechanism behind the blood pressure reduction was thought to be from decreasing angiotensin II (ACE inhibitors like lisinopril are drugs that inhibit the production of angiotensin II which elevate blood pressure). [12] Human studies have mixed or inconclusive results. It may work for some individuals and not so much for others. So what about the other health claims?Precautions and reccomendations using ACVHow and when should I take apple cider vinegar?What is the “Mother” in Bragg’s apple cider vinegar?Homemade apple cider vinegar. Click the photo to learn how to make your own at home Where do I get it? How much does it cost?You don’t necessarily have to go to a health food store like Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods in order to find Bragg’s ACV. It’s a well-known product and most grocery stores have it available. It usually costs a little under $5 at your local grocery store or health food store for a 16 oz bottle. I haven’t seen them at typical grocery stores like Safeway/Vons but you can buy the large gallon jug from Amazon for under $20 bucks. More about Paul Bragg and daughter PatriciaIf you’re still curious about Paul Bragg, Patricia Bragg and the legacy of their company, I would check out the Bragg Health Institute which promotes health and wellness through educational programs and providing research grants.

The Magnesium Deficiency EpidemicFebruary 29, 2016 Color Conscious – Eating the Phytonutrient Rainbow for Good HealthThe Benefits of Water Fasting – With Patricia Bragg8 commentsI generally use AVC for cold and flu and I feel it helps tremendously. Wondering why you didn’t mention this, is there no scientific evidence? There hasn’t been much research into this because colds and flus are fairly self-contained and short-lived. But yes, I should add the list of anecdotal uses as it helps many prevent cold and flu. Many people take it as they feel the first symptoms of a cold or flu and often prevent full-blown illness. Thank you for sharing that with all of us Thx for putting footnotes and references! I just thought AVC was a folk remedy with no scientific evidence. Absolutely. I’m big on fact checking and making sure other readers have access to the same evidence that I use to draw my conclusions. Happy to hear you appreciate that aspect of the articles I live in Alaska and have found it in Safeway. I dont know about all of their stores but thats where I buy it. Ofcourse, it also costs me nearly $9 for a 16oz bottle but its better than the shipping of a gallon! □ I’m glad you could get your hands on some up there in the northern latitudes. I always wondered if things tended to cost more because of shipping costs. Wow! $9 for a bottle at Safeway. I don’t want to know what the shipping costs for a gallon would be. Thanks for dropping a line. Stay tuned for an exclusive interview I’ll be doing with Patricia Bragg in the upcoming weeks If you’re worried about ACV softening the enamal, drink it through a straw. Decreases the chance of contact with the teeth. Ah yes, excellent recommendation John. Thank you for the input January 15th, 20181/15/2018 Vitamin E Oil: Why You Should Use On Your Body With CautionExperts weigh in on the pros and cons of the super vitamin.You’ve probably heard your doctor discuss the health benefits of taking vitamin E, which include boosting your immune system, preventing stroke-induced brain damage and protecting against certain cancers. But vitamin E oil can also work wonders when it comes to your hair, skin and nails. (Just take a look at this girl’s smooth alabaster complexion). However, it isn’t as simple as buying a face cream labeled with the powerful ingredient. Skincare specialists praise vitamin E oil for its beauty benefits, but they do so with caution. “Vitamin E is always a tricky ingredient to use,” says celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas. “It’s an awesome antioxidant, but it’s heavy, so if you are prone to break outs, it could make you break out more. Vitamin E has always been used in skincare, but I think the purity of it has changed.” Dr. Stafford R. Broumand, a New York City-based cosmetic and plastic surgeon, echoes the evolution of the super vitamin, explaining, “Vitamin E exists in eight chemical forms (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta- tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta –tocotrienol). Tocopherol is the only form that is recognized to meet human requirements. However, most Vitamin E oils do not contain all eight forms and some have soy.” According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, our society’s growing obsession with oils is rooted in the belief that a “natural” product is the cure-all for dry skin, eczema, etc. “The fact is that the oil may be moisturizing to help the condition, but the vitamin E part of it is unnecessary. and can sometimes cause an allergy,” she says. So how can we get the most out of vitamin E oil without causing more harm than good to our bodies? Apply it at night. “The oil can be thick and greasy, so it’s best used before bedtime, possibly in place of a night cream or moisturizer,” says Dr. Broumand. Combine it with vitamin C. “It has been shown that when combining vitamin E with vitamin C, it can act as a natural form of sun protection,” explains Dr. Broumand. “Vitamin E oil works to block free radicals from the body, which play a large part in the aging process. If we can fight off free radicals, then we can reduce wrinkles and keep the skin youthful-looking.” Vargas adds, “It has basic antioxidant properties that everyone needs. It is unavoidable that we are all suffering from environmental stress. [Vitamin E oil] protects the skin against cell mutation in the sun and pollution. It’s also an anti-inflammatory, so it calms and hydrates sensitive skin.” Swap it in place of skin-brightening creams. “Free radicals can also prevent the healing of scars, so applying vitamin E oil will help to repair and improve the appearance of the damaged tissue,” says Dr. Broumand. Use it to target excessive dryness. “There have been some studies to show that vitamin E oil may increase circulation to the scalp,” says Dr. Broumand. “This temporarily increased blood flow to the area could help to enhance the health and strength of the hair follicles. Vitamin E oil can also work to hydrate and moisturize dry, brittle hair.” Vargas also recommends massaging vitamin E oil on your cuticles and lips to prevent and soothe chapped skin.

I love the flavors of gingerbread. But it wasnât always so. Growing up, I took a lot of my culinary cues from my dad. If he disliked the flavor of a dish, I figured it must be bad. And he hated the spices in gingerbread, especially nutmeg. So I steered clear of it for many years. Then I met my husbandâs family. They loved spice cakes, gingersnap cookies, and gingerbread.

Itâs definitely a show-stopper. And so festive! Here is a quick tip for assembling: To get even layers of cake, insert toothpicks halfway down the sides and all the way around the cake. This creates a guide for your knife when cutting the cake in half. If you like a nice clean cake stand for presentation, insert strips of parchment paper under the first layer of cake. That way, you can carefully pull them out when youâre all done frosting. And if you havenât already, buy an offset spatula! It makes frosting cakes so much fun. A dusting of powdered sugar on the outside of this cake makes it look extra festive. I like the way the powdered sugar fell onto the cake stand as wellâit looks like snow! 1. This recipe makes enough frosting for a naked cake as shown here. If you prefer more frosting on your cake (or if naked cakes arenât your thing), you should make about 1 1/2 to 2 times the amount of frosting. 2. My husband thought the flavors of this cake were quite strong. I loved it, but if you prefer a milder gingerbread, decrease the amount of ginger and use milder molasses (not blackstrap).

With all the unfortunate damage our hair faces from weather, styling tools and products, it’s hard to find the right solution that can be the hero our locks are looking for. Thankfully, Aloe Vera is a natural ingredient that can help fight countless hair issues without breaking the bank. Because of its various healing nutrients, Aloe Vera is a plant species often used in various herbal medicines. Aloe Vera is rich in amino acids, vitamin A, folic acid and vitamin C. While it seems like just about everybody knows Aloe Vera can be used as a go-to solution for sun burn relief, who knew you could use this soothing gel for damage relief for your hair, too? Read on to find out how Aloe Vera can be utilized as much more than a skin treatment, and why we love it for fighting hair damage, too. Aloe Vera as a Hair Treatment1. DandruffAloe Vera can be used in dandruff treatment and prevention. Just like Aloe Vera soothes dry skin from a sun burn, it can also moisturize a dry scalp, which helps to alleviate the presence of pesky flakes. Treating a flaky scalp is also a key factor in eliminating dandruff all together. 2. Oily HairTreating dry hair can be often be accompanied by undesirable oil build-up. Thankfully, Aloe Vera can be used as a rinse for oily hair without additional, unwanted effects like making hair dry or brittle. The rinse is easy to make and only needs one part aloe vera juice with two parts lemon juice, then apply to the shaft of the hair. 3. Frizzy HairThe amino acids in Aloe Vera can promote strength and add shine to your hair. As a result, it helps to tame frizzy hair while still leaving your locks silky and glossy. Since Aloe Vera also helps lock in moisture to improve the smoothness of hair, it tends to also work well as a detangler, too. 4. Hair LossAloe Vera can help prevent frequent hair loss and promote hair growth. With hair loss, using Aloe Vera regularly will rejuvenate the hair follicles and reduce thinning. Along with hair loss prevention, Aloe Vera enzymes promote hair growth by helping your locks retain moisture, and by clearing dead skin cells off of your scalp.
