你的彩妆品过期了吗?

  相信每个女孩抽屉里一定有一些很久很久都没再使用的彩妆品,可是又舍不得丢,总觉得可能有一天会用到吧。。。大家都知道,保养品一旦开封,就得尽快用完,可是很多人忽略了彩妆品的保质期。彩妆品的消耗比较慢,尤其不是天天化妆的人,一盒眼影或腮红,用了N年还是用不完。可是每个彩妆品都有它的保质期,使用过期的彩妆品,绝对是弊大于利。

  产品一旦开封,接触到空气,产品质地就开始转变。水分含量较高的产品,如粉底液,睫毛膏,唇彩等的寿命会比较短,因为水是滋生细菌的温床。而粉状的产品,眼影,腮红等,寿命会比较长些。再者,如果产品是标上“preservative-free”(不含防腐剂),可以存放的时间会更短。

  虽然不同的产品会标榜不同的保质期,可是一旦开封,它的寿命有多长呢?以下的开封后使用期限(Period After Open, PAO)可以给大家参考:

睫毛膏,眼线液,眼线胶:4-6个月
眼线笔:1年
粉底液:6个月-1年
粉质的彩妆品(眼影,腮红):2-3年
唇膏,唇彩:1-2年(因为成分含水,所以一旦发现质地变干或有异味时,就一定要丢了)

  如果发现产品的质地和颜色有所改变,或有异味,就算还未到使用期限,也一定要丢弃了。

自制咖椰 Home made kaya

材料:
鸡蛋:5粒
新鲜椰浆:150g
糖:250g
斑兰叶

做法:
1)使用隔水炖锅,大锅盛水,煮沸。
2)鸡蛋搅匀,过滤,倒入小锅,加入糖。

3)小火搅拌至糖融化。
4)小锅放入大锅中,加入椰浆,小火继续搅拌至稠状。

5)加入斑兰叶,隔水炖1-2个钟,间中不时搅拌,让咖椰更细致。



其实制做咖椰并不难,只是费工夫费时间。不过如果想要成品细致漂亮,的确需要用心和耐心。这里有些小贴士和大家分享。

小贴士:
1. 使用甘榜鸡蛋/菜园鸡蛋做的咖椰会更香滑。(在大城市要找正真马来甘榜饲养的鸡的鸡蛋,真的不容易,所以嘉嘉还是用超市买的鸡蛋算了。。。)

2. 蛋白使咖椰变稀释,如果使用甘榜鸡蛋(比较小粒),可用全蛋。如果是普通鸡蛋,可减少蛋白的份量(5个蛋黄,3个蛋白即可)。

3.  如果不想吃太甜,糖可减至220g,糖太少,也会影响成品的浓稠度,出现颗粒状。  

4.  越老的椰子榨的椰浆和纯椰浆煮出来的咖椰会更香醇浓稠,颜色更有光泽。小贩为了提高椰浆量, 会把椰肉浸泡在水里,才用来挤椰浆,或在椰浆里掺水。尽量找相熟的小贩买,或加点钱,要新鲜鲜榨不参水的。

5.  Step 3 煮糖融化时,火太大容易煮焦。把锅拿高些,离火面,不停搅拌即可。

6.  如果想要咖椰细致顺滑,Step 4 一定要不停搅拌,成品才不会出现颗粒状。

7.  如果想要咖椰变成褐色,将糖煮成焦糖,加入咖椰成品,搅拌均匀即可。

8.  炖的时间越久,咖椰就能耐久一些。嘉嘉每次做的份量不多,也尽快吃完,所以嘛,只炖个45分钟~1个钟。


切记:制做咖椰忌水,一定不可以加水和尽量别用掺了水的椰浆。


吃法:
当然是配土司面包和奶油啦!再加杯香浓的白咖啡就更完美了。

橄榄油-强健骨骼的健康食品 Olive Oil - The Foods for Strong and Healthy Bones


发表于《 临床内分泌学和新陈代谢学期刊》(The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, JCEM)的研究报告显示,食用橄榄油有助于强化骨骼,预防骨骼疏松症。

西班牙研究人员将 127 位年龄介于 55 至 80 岁参加试验的男性,随机分为三组,采用不同的饮食方案:地中海+特级初榨橄榄油,地中海饮食+混合坚果,以及普通低脂饮食。研究结果显示,饮食中加入橄榄油的人,血液中的骨钙素明显增加。骨钙素含量高代表骨强韧度好,不容易患上骨骼疏松症。

A research study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM) shows that olive oil may help strengthen bones.

A team of Spanish researchers examined 127 men between the ages of 55-80. The men involved are classified randomly into three groups and are assigned to different diets over a period of two years. The diets include: a Mediterranean diet with virgin olive oil, a Mediterranean diet with mixed nuts, and a regular low-fat diet. The results show that those who consumed a Mediterranean diet with virgin olive oil experienced a significant increase in the levels of osteocalcin in their blood. Osteocalcin is a marker of strong and healthy bones.
