Pickled Eggs! How to Make Homestead Heart's Recipe for Homemade Holiday Gifts!

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

When would now be a good time to get started on making some beautiful, hand crafted, tasty, home made gifts for the holidays? 

 

 

 Remember, no matter what it looks like in the world, you can choose joy and create meaningful moments and memories for your loved ones! I still think it's going to be the best year ever! 2020 is just coming in slowly to awesomeness. 

 

 

 

 Everything I learned about making these is from my Mom, and she learned from Homestead Heart. I absolutely love her channel- please check it out here: https://youtu.be/W3BOzmweKys 

 

Recipe: 36 boiled eggs  - 12 per quart jar

Wide mouth glass quart jars 

1 cup apple cider vinegar (for bonus flavor) 

1 cup white vinegar 

1 cup water 

3-4 bay leaves 

1/2 tsp dry mustard powder 

1 tsp turmeric 

1 tsp garlic powder NOT granules 

1/2 tsp salt *do not use iodized salt - use canning or kosher or himalayan 

1 tsp or tablespoon of red pepper flakes - add heat depending on your taste 

FRESH garlic pieces, or jalapeno slices to layer in jar Louisiana red hot sauce - about 1/4 cup per jar to top off brine with. 

 

REMEMBER to do the AIR BUBBLE - if you do not have a fancy tool, just use a butter knife. 

 

Final step - you MUST leave this in the back of the fridge, hidden away from sight for a minimum of TWO WEEKS. The eggs need ample time to pickle and marinate in the sauce and be zesty and delicious! The "how to" is in the video - enjoy watching - and please let me know in the comments if you make this recipe!

Helena Christensen & Elizabeth Gaynes Launch Their Niche Fragrance Line - strangelove nyc - at VIP Luncheon in Bergdorf Goodman

Hi ya Gorgeous!
So, if you have been with Makeup University any amount of time, you would know that I LOVE fragrance.
If you are new here, welcome and by the way, I love fragrance. It is my favorite and most used accessory and even if you have on an inexpensive thrifted outfit, a great perfume can class and jazz the whole thing up to a Vogue cover!

That's why I'm sharing the news about Helena Christensen and her new fragrance available at Bergdorf Goodman. I haven't got a sample yet...but I'm going to check the mail right now!

Enjoy and get yourself to Bergdorf's quick and get a whiff then tell me what it's like!

Helena Christensen, Creative Director of the niche fragrance brand strangelove nyc, along with Founder Elizabeth Gaynes, celebrated the brand’s official debut in Bergdorf Goodman this week.

Brooke Shields, Camilla Staerk and Danielle Snyder (of Dannijo) joined a celebratory luncheon at the BG Restaurant inside Bergdorf Goodman.

“It’s hard to find a perfume that you would want to put on every single day, spray it in your hair, spray it all over your body, and that’s how I felt when I got to smell the first samples,” Creative Director Helena Christensen said. “When you first try deadofnight, your senses are stimulated in the most magical way; you are simply transfixed by its power. With meltmyheart, you first fall in love with the scent itself; it is so tender and poetic, so full of yearning romance. It makes your heart flutter. It’s about surrendering to love and experiencing it fully.”

Sourced from exotic locales like Borneo, Madagascar, Mauritius and India, strangelove nyc uses some of the rarest natural oils and selected ingredients in the world, creating completely original scents that are long-lasting, extremely sensual and unquestionably unique.

The company launched its two oudh-based scents, deadofnight and meltmyheart, this fall. Prized for centuries for its deeply complex scent and aphrodisiac affects, oudh is a rare, aromatic resin from the ancient East.
