How to Make Your Own Perfume at Home

How to Make Your Own Perfume at Home


When making home made perfumes, there are 3 main ingredients which you will need, and these are:

1.           Essential Oils
2.           Water
3.           Alcohol

Many of these items can be either obtained from a store that specializes in such ingredients, or over the internet. 

You will also need a large saucepan, large bowl (for mixing all the ingredients together), spoon and some measuring cups or jugs to make perfume at home.

Provided below, are a few easy recipes that you should be able to produce at home without too much hassle.

1.  Basic Recipe
All you need for this recipe is some water, chopped flower blossoms (use lilac or lavender if blossoms unavailable). 

Place the flower blossoms in a bowl, add the water and then cover them and leave them overnight.  The next day, the solution can be put into small bottles and sprayed either into the air or on to your skin.

2.  Amaze
For this, you will need some distilled water, vodka, hypericum perforatum, cypress and rosemary (all of which are essential oils).  They should then be mixed together and stored overnight.

After a period of 12 hours or more, the solution produced can be put into a dark spray bottle to be used.  Using a dark colored bottle will help the solution to remain fresh, which will be felt by the person using it when they apply it to their skin.

3.  Whispering Rain
This is another recipe that may be worth trying out.  Again, you will need distilled water, some vodka, Sandalwood, Bergamot and Cassis essential oils (which can also be purchased as fragrance oils).

These ingredients should be stirred together and then stored overnight in a covered container. Then, the next day, it can be transferred to a dark colored bottle.  This perfume must be kept in a cool place so that it does not dry up.

The three perfumes above normally last for about a month before they lose their scent and the next recipe should produce something a bit better.

For this recipe, you will need fragrance oils such as Sandalwood, Cedar Wood, Bergamot, Vodka and a little touch of Vanilla.  All these ingredients should be put into a jar and then shaken.  It should then be put in a cool place and left for a week.  After this time, you can then transfer the mixture into small perfume bottles.

If you would like to learn more about recipes for making your own perfume, you could always do a search of the internet. I also recommend visiting your local bookstore, where they will have books on the subject.

It is important to remember that these types of perfume recipes only have a shelf life of a month, therefore you will need to make new batches every few weeks.

How to Make a Hostess Cupcakes - Secret Recipe Revealed


How to Make a Hostess Cupcakes
Secret Recipe Revealed















CAKE
1 cup hot water
2 ounces (⅔ cup) unsweetened cocoa
6 ounces (1 cup plus 3 tablespoons) all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1½ cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons vegetable oil

CRÈME FILLING
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon water
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 7-ounce jar marshmallow crème
½ cup shortening
2 ounces (½ cup) powdered sugar

CHOCOLATE FROSTING
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 ounces (1 cup) powdered sugar
1 ounce (⅓ cup) unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons heavy cream
⅛ teaspoon salt

WHITE ICING
4½ ounces (1½ cups) powdered sugar
2 tablespoons shortening
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Spray 12 cups of a standard-size muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and add a circle of parchment paper to the bottom of each cup.

Step 3: Make the cakes by pouring the hot water over the cocoa in a medium bowl. Use a whisk to combine until smooth, and then set the cocoa aside to cool.

Step 4: Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in another medium bowl.

Step 5: Use an electric mixer on medium speed to mix the eggs with the sugar and vanilla in a large bowl for 1 minute. Mix in the oil.

Step 6: Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth. Add the cocoa and mix well. Pour ⅓ cup of batter into each cup (fill about three quarters up) and bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until cooked through. Cool.

Step 7: While the cupcakes cool, make the crème filling by combining the vanilla, water, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until most of the salt is dissolved. Mix the marshmallow crème, shortening, and powdered sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on high speed. Add the vanilla/salt solution and mix for 1 minute. Set aside.

Step 8: Make the frosting by combining the melted butter, powdered sugar, cocoa, cream, and salt in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed. Let it sit to cool until it is a medium consistency —not too runny, not too thick—that will stick to the cupcakes when they are dipped into it.

Step 9: Make the white icing by combining all of the ingredients with an electric mixer in a medium bowl for 1 minute.

Step 10: When the cupcakes are cool, load the filling into a piping bag or pastry gun with a medium round tip, and the icing into a piping bag or pastry gun with a small round tip.

Step 11: Slice the top off of each cupcake so that they are flat on top, then use the blunt end of a skewer
or the tip of a chopstick to poke down through the top of each cupcake and swirl it around inside to
make some space for the filling. Pipe some filling into the center of each cupcake.

Step 12: Dip the filled cupcakes upside-down into the chocolate frosting so that just the tops are frosted. Set the cupcakes aside to cool for about 10 minutes, then give each cupcake a second coat. Use a knife to smooth out the frosting if needed. If the frosting becomes too thick, microwave it on high for 15 seconds to loosen it up.

Finally, when the frosting on top of the cupcakes is cool, pipe a line of 7 loops onto the top of each cupcake

How to Make a Great Conversation with a Small Talk


How to Make a Great Conversation with a Small Talk

The best conversationalists in this world are the best listeners NOT the best talkers.In fact, the person who says the least is often the best communicator yet you are there racking your brains thinking of things to say all of the time!

This is the BEST tip I could ever give you if you want to be an excellent communicator:

BECOME AN EXPERT LISTENER

When you become an expert listener is means that the other person is doing most of the talking, with only one thing on your mind – THEM.

To build up rapport and to engage in a conversation ask questions and be intrigued about the other person not you.

You let them do most of the talking and by doing this they will think that you walk on water and will in turn ask about you and that’s when YOU talk!

It is important to understand what other people like to talk to about.

1. THEMSELVES!

People love to talk about themselves.
Get them to talk about their favorite subject – THEMSELVES!
“What are YOU currently doing career wise?”
“Do YOU enjoy it?”
“Tell me about this…..”
“I hear YOU have been doing this……”

2. THEIR OWN OPINIONS

People love to air their opinions on anything and everything.

Ask these questions as well and your new friend could be talking for hours!

“What do you think of the way they have played this year?”
“What is your opinion on that thing?”
“What do you think of this programme?”

3. OTHER PEOPLE

People love to talk about other people.
Some people call this gossip; other just call it talking about other people!
“What do you think of abc person?”

4. THINGS

Next on the pecking order is talking about things.
No matter what it is your friend will have an opinion on it.
“I love YOUR car, how long have YOU had it?”
“What do YOU think of this widget?”
“I love YOUR jacket, where did you get it from?

5. YOU!

It’s a horrible thing to say but the last thing people want to talk about is
YOU!
Keep the conversation centered around the other person until they ask
about you and then it is your turn.
To keep their full attention wait until they have finished talking about
themselves and they have asked you a question.
Then you can talk.
When you do talk however, link it into what the other person has already
said and you will really be making magical rapport.


PLAN of ACTION

Don’t worry about what to say just go into each conversation with the
other person in mind.
Listen and ask questions about the other person.
Then ask some more questions!
Think about “YOU” instead of “I”
Talk about the other person’s favorite 5 subjects in order!
Don’t talk about yourself until the other person asks
Have fun!

How to Make KFC Original Recipe Fried Chicken - Secret Recipe Revealed


How to Make KFC Original Recipe Fried Chicken
Secret Recipe Revealed
















BRINE
⅓ cup salt
1 tablespoon MSG (such as Accent seasoning)
8 cups water
1 whole roaster chicken (4 to 5 pounds), cut into 8 pieces
6 to 12 cups vegetable oil

BREADING
9 ounces (1¾ cups) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon MSG
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground tellicherry pepper
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground savory
½ teaspoon ground sage
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground marjoram
¼ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

DREDGE
4 large eggs
2 cups skim milk

Step 1: To make the brine, dissolve the salt and MSG in the water. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for 3 hours. Remove the chicken from the brine, rinse with water, and blot dry.

Step 2: Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 300 degrees F.

Step 3: Make the breading by combining all of the ingredients in a large bowl.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk.   

Step 5: When the oil is hot, dip each piece of chicken in the egg and milk mixture and then press into the breading. Toss each chicken piece in the breading until well coated. Let the chicken sit for 5 minutes in the breading, gently tossing every minute or two to ensure a good coating. Gently shake off the excess breading and fry 2 to 4 pieces at a time (or whatever your fryer can hold) for 16 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown. Drain the fried chicken on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.

If you want to keep the chicken warm until every piece is cooked so that you can serve it all at once, place the fried pieces on a rack on a baking sheet and keep them in your oven set to 200 degrees F.
