Homemade Condensed Milk with Just 2 Ingredients

Image
  Ingredients: ·          500 grams of white sugar ·          1 liter of milk First, I pour the sugar and milk into a pot and bring it to a boil over very high heat, stirring constantly.  Once it starts boiling, I continue cooking it for about 30 minutes over slightly higher-than-medium heat, still stirring the whole time. After 30 minutes, I pour the condensed milk into a bowl and let it chill in the fridge for around 5 hours so it can thicken. You can store this homemade condensed milk in the fridge for a long time—it keeps really well and doesn't spoil easily. That’s it! This easy homemade condensed milk is not only budget-friendly but also free of preservatives and additives. Whether you're using it in a classic dessert or just keeping some on hand, it’s a delicious pantry staple. Let me know in the comments how yours turned out or if you used it in a fun recipe!

The Skincare Routine That Saved My Skin in Winter

Image
About a year ago, during the winter, my skin got a lot drier, and I started breaking out with pimples on my face. So, I decided to make some additions to my skincare routine. Every morning and evening, I mixed a tiny bit of Vaseline with my moisturizer and applied it to my face. But here’s the thing—you have to be careful with Vaseline. If you mix in a large amount with your moisturizer, it can clog your pores and cause even more breakouts. Also, if you already have milia (those small white bumps) under your eyes, putting Vaseline there can make them worse. Some people mix an entire jar of Vaseline with a whole jar of moisturizer and use it like that—but I don’t recommend it. Vaseline can cause the moisturizer to spoil faster. I also started using facial oil on top of my moisturizer, both in the morning and at night. After about one to two weeks, my pimples cleared up. That’s when I realized they were caused by a lack of moisture in my skin.
