Lamb & Pork Stew

Lamb & Pork Stew

Somedays call for stews, even though it’s scorching hot outside… just eat it inside where it’s nice and cool from AC! This dish was just kind of a go with the flow as far as preparation and ingredients, so no real measurements on everything. Once that was done, in a separate pan/pot (I use one similar to a wok), drizzled olive oil. When hot, added fresh sliced onions, and from the pressure…

Orange Glad March Box – “Let the adventure Begin”

Theo Chocolate – Almond Coconut Bar: “Celebrate spring early with crunchy almonds and toasted coconut in smooth, rich 65% dark chocolate – Nutty and refreshing.” The dark chocolate in this is really intense and the other flavors are subtle. I’ve had a higher percentage of cocoa in other bars that were just as intense and bars with the same amount that were much subtler. I didn’t really care for this one.

Hagensborg – Truffle Piglets in Dark Hazelnut, Peanut Butter, Milk Caramel: “Frolic in absolute truffle heaven with a bite size of All Natural European chocolate bliss with the three top selling flavors of the chocolate piglets.” These were really good, but that’s all that I remember about them. LOL.

Salem Baking Co. – Meyer Lemon Moravian Cookies: “These bright and zesty Meyer Lemon Moravian Cookies capture the tastes of early spring with the finest grated Meyer lemon zest. Enjoy this with a cup of tea while sitting on your porch and watching hours pass as the flowers start to bloom.” This is the same company that made the chocolate ones that I thought were more like wafers. I haven’t tried these yet.

Three Kids and A Kitchen – Original & Salted Caramel Snack Pack: “Handcrafted old fashioned and salted caramels paired to create a smooth, rich treat that literally melts in your mouth.” These were really good, they were gooey, but not sticky gooey, rich and creamy. Some of the best caramels I’ve had!

Clairesquares – Jammy Jacks: “Claire puts a fresh spin on the traditional Irish Flapjacks by adding a juicy raspberry jam center to create a chewier, fruity version of this crunch classic. Jammy Jacks are wonderful sweets treats and are packed with energy-giving oats to power you through an arduous hike or bike ride. This recipe was inspired by their ice cream collaboration with Haagen-Dazs.” These were like granola, but chewier and softer. I don’t normally like granola, but would eat these any day!

  Treatsie Sweets March Box – “hello Spring”

Nunu Chocolates – Chocolate-Covered Graham Crackers: “A crunchy treat. Graham crackers dipped in 53% chocolate with a little fleur de sel to top it off.” I’ve had chocolate covered graham crackers in another sub, I didn’t think there was anything with these look or flavor-wise that stood out. They tasted exactly like chocolate covered graham crackers.

Bees & Beans – honey Bar Junior: “Honey caramel is mixed with hazelnut nougat and hand-dipped in premium chocolate with Oregon sea salt.” I don’t normally care for nougat, but I liked this! Nice honey flavor.

Clairesquares – Caramel Chocolate Shortbread Square: “Buttery shortbread base is combined with a smooth caramel center and a Belgian chocolate topping.” Exactly as the description, did not disappoint!

B.T. Mcelrath – Chocolate Bites: “Savory butter caramel enrobed in chocolate. Enjoy both milk and dark chocolate flavors!” These were also very good!

  I love getting these boxes. I prepaid subs for these, so am getting at least one more Orange Glad box, and a couple or so more Treatsie Sweet boxes before my subs end. Will be so sad to let them go, but it’s for the best – weight-wise and finances-wise…

Orange Glad & Treatsie Sweets March Boxes, unboxed. #foodie #orangeglad #treatsiesweets Orange Glad March Box - "Let the adventure Begin" Theo Chocolate - Almond Coconut Bar: "Celebrate spring early with crunchy almonds and toasted coconut in smooth, rich 65% dark chocolate - Nutty and refreshing." The dark chocolate in this is really intense and the other flavors are subtle.

[justbeingjulz]

Catching up on this sub… I can’t remember which came in Feb and which came in March though.

The 1st bag contains:

Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream: “Snail mucin and bee venom are all the rage in Korea and this product combines them both! This cream helps heal acne, relieve damaged skin, brighten skin tone, and maintain hydration throughout the day. We especially love it for those with sensitive skin as it is fragrance free and has a non-sticky texture.”

Leaders Black Aqua Pore Scaling Mask: “The best-selling sheet mask contains charcoal and volcanic ash that removes impurities and work together with chlorella and green tea extracts to deeply hydrate skin. These active ingredients also help exfoliate dead skin cells to leave skin smooth and radiant.”

Lioele Eyelash Curler: “made with soft, anti-bacterial rubber to protect your lashes as you curl, this Lioele lash curler is one of our favs to keep on us.”

Etude House Look At Me Eyes Care Eyeshadow: “We love the natural ‘I’m-wearing-no-makeup’ makeup look during the winter months and this eyeshadow is a perfect compliment to that. Use as an all-over lid color for those that love a light subtle look or build it up and contour with a darker shadow for more drama. Finish off with a few coats of your favorite mascara and you’re good to go!”

  2nd bag contents:

Dermal Dream Sea Cucumber Supreme Mask: “If anyone knows how to make a great sheet mask, it’s Dermal Dream. An infamous mask in Korea, this Dermal Dream sheet mask has been rumored to do miracles for the skin. This mask has collagen, arginine, alanine, and other ingredients to combat aging and brighten skin. Using low temperature techniques, it contains refined sea snail serum to nourish, moisturize, and lift.

Skinfood My Shortcake Setting Mascara: “Mascara is one of our essentials in our makeup bags and we’re always on the lookout for new products. This Skinfood mascara transforms lashes so they’re thicker, longer, and darker. We especially love how quickly the formula dries on our lashes and how smudgeproof this mascara is.”

Cosrx Blackhead Silk Finger Balls: “Want to try the silkiest exfoliator ever? You’re in luck! These finger pods are perfect for removing sebum and blackheads with minimal irritation on the skin.”

Secret Key Witch Hazel Pore Clear Toner: “Toner is an important step in the skincare process. With its pore-tightening, oil-controlling, and deep-cleansing properties, this toner is perfect for individuals with oily or combination skin. It’s suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin as it is free of parabens, mineral oils, and phenoxyethanol.”

I was happy with what was in both bags, haven’t used any of the items yet though! I’ll have a review of some of the items, eventually.

What I was really surprised with was the Cosrx Blackhead Silk Finger Balls. They don’t specify anywhere in the description that they’re actual silk worm cocoons. I only know because I’ve worked with them during my fiber dyeing days. These look to be bleached and I’m really not sure what kind of chemical process they put them through to bleach them. I am curious to use them in this way though, so despite the “unknowns”, I’m interested in trying them out!

Sadly, I’ve decided to drop all of my subscription boxes. Since my family and I want to buy a house this summer, every little bit of savings will help!

[justbeingjulz]

These two mask are by mothermade® (Korean beauty brand) and came as a set, each box contains six capsules (total of 6 masks per box). Individual mask packets have two compartments that look like over-sized capsules. One compartment contains a mask cloth that is dry and compressed into a capsules-like form – which I thought was a cute idea. The other compartment contains the liquid that you rehydrate the capsule in. Once you drop a capsule into the liquid it doesn’t take long to soak up and absorb the majority of it. Then you remove the soaked cloth, unwind it and open it up. I thought that it would be susceptible to dripping once applied to the face, but neither mask did – which is always a plus in my book (had too many incidents of mask liquid/serum dripping into my eyes uncomfortably). Both have a similar scent, each very mild, not heavy, but light and pleasant.

Product description via Amazon:

“[…] Aqua Relax Eye Mask can instantly hydrate and provide the natural nutrition to your skin around the eyes with powerful Hyaluronic Acid, Beta-glucan, Rosemary Extract, Green Tea Extract, Jasmine Flower Water, Matricaria flower extract, and finally Phytoncide (Chamaecypris Obtusa Oil). It helps the eye areas fully moisturized and wrinkle-free. It minimizes and softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin tone and texture.

[…] Derma Relief Sun-Zone Mask instantly cools off the hotness as well as soothes the irritation in the Sun-zone area exposed to the Sun with Aloe Vera, Bamboo Extract, Water Melon Extract, Tea Tree Leaf Oil, and Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract. The Sun-zone mask is specially designed to cover the sun-zone area of the face routinely exposed to the Sun and outdoor irritants to complete the comfortable and bright sun zone skin.

Safe for all Skin Types: It is FREE of Parabens, Ethanol, Frangrance or dyes. It will not irritate or clog pores and thus safe for all skin types.”

The blue package is Aqua Relax and is a mask for the eyes and is very soothing, much like using cucumbers, but without the inevitable sliminess as it picks up heat from your skin. It’s cooling on the eyes, especially when I have a headache. It’s also hydrating and made the skin under my eyes feel suppler, at least for a little while.

There was no irritation or redness during or after application. I have to say that I really like this product! The only negative is that you have to remain reclined for 15 minutes with your eyes closed, haha! But it offers a great opportunity to meditate and relax (attempt to, at least).

The peachy/orange box is Sun-Zone Derma Relief and is a mask for the nose and cheeks.

Since it hasn’t really been sunny lately, I haven’t had a chance to use this on sunkissed/burned skin, but my cheeks have been dry because of the colder temperatures. I was hoping that this would give my skin some much needed hydration – and I wasn’t disappointed. Like the Aqua Relax, this one was very soothing and hydrating.

Thumbs up for both masks!

Natural Nail Polish Remover

@PureBodyNaturals 100% Natural Nail Polish Remover review. #nailcare @FemaleBloggerRT #beauty

As I was looking for a non-acetone, all natural nail polish, I came across this “100% Natural” one by Pure Body Naturals in my Google search. I’ve reviewed some of Pure Body Naturals other products in the past, so contacted them directly to ask if I could review this one as well.

So 1st, a little update on me! I may have a little time this weekend to do some posts and reviews. Last Tuesday I took my American Medical Technologists (AMT) Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) certification board exam and I passed! Which means technically, I can now add the RMA credential behind my name :) and it’s nationally recognized. I still have finish 2 more weeks of class, then I’ll be starting externship to complete 180 more clinical hours. AMT won’t issue our physical certificates until my entire class finishes those hours :/ so even if I finish early, I’ll have to wait for everyone else to finish too – which kind of bites. Then our graduation is set quite a ways away – in late September.

We took our professional CPR exam today and I passed that as well! I can’t believe how far I’ve come! Now if I can get through that externship, have it be an awesome job with awesome people, and have them hire me at the end that would be so amazing! *crossing fingers*

  When I first saw this thing, I thought it would turn out to be one of those gimmicky contraptions – sounds good, but when you get it, it’s a complete waste of money. However, it does work. It’s made entirely of silicone. The rings are flexible and open so that they fit over the fingers easily. It’s a little heavier than I imagined it would be, but that helps stabilize it on the fingers.

I didn’t have issues with any of the shapes of nail polishes that I currently own, each sat in the basin pretty well and my worries that it might tip over if I turned my hand were put at ease.

I recommend unscrewing the wand before putting the nail polish bottle in the basin as the bottle will swivel around otherwise, despite the texture on the inside bottom and the triangles that hold the bottle in place. I like that if I wanted to paint my nails with my fingers curled to the palm,  I could move this bottle holder so that it sits lower down on my fingers, just below my finger joints (IDK I guess you’d call them the 2nd knuckles?).

With the rings being open, you can pull the bottle holder up so that you don’t have to slip them down over wet nails, too, which is convenient.

Overall, I think this is a great idea, and works as it was intended. In my opinion, this is a little on the pricy side though at $14.95 (+ free prime shipping) via Amazon.

Tweexy Nail Polish Holder, review. Gimmick or...? #beautyblogger #nailcare @femalebloggerRT So 1st, a little update on me! I may have a little time this weekend to do some posts and reviews.

[justbeingjulz]

Hello my lovelies! I’ve missed you all. I have a couple of reviews I’m going to post while I have the chance.

Oz Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer

The Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer by Oz Naturals comes in their recognizable signature style of branding, and box and tube, but with a silver accent color.

Product description courtesy of Oz Naturals:

“A powerful cocktail of antioxidants combine with Vitamin A to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and premature aging due to sun exposure. This results-oriented formulation fights free radical damage as well as restores and renews firmness, elasticity, and thickness to the skin. Vitamin A boasts a long list of clinically proven restorative, anti-aging, and youth-enhancing properties.”

The moisturizer is a heavy white (whipped?) cream that has a very soft mild scent – almost sweet, almost like a berry, but it is very mild so that it’s hard to discern the tones exactly.

The directions suggest to use it morning and night, but I find it to be and feel a little heavier than I’m used to for a morning moisturize – however, thus far, it hasn’t caused any clogged pores or excessive oiliness on the skin. It doesn’t leave a stickiness, but it does kind of leave a residue that you know is still there after application, if that makes sense. I have found it to be moisturizing and softening, especially to the dry areas of my face, and it adds a little fresh glowiness to the skin. But as of yet, no visible signs of diminishing lines and wrinkles, however, I’ve only been using it for less than two weeks.

I love that Oz Naturals products are cruelty free; mostly natural, organic, and vegan; made in the US; and does not contain alcohol, parabens, or sulfates. On the tube it says that it’s 97.9% natural. In addition to that, they seem to consistently include quality ingredients, and the ingredients list is very straight-forward, all words that are pronounceable (on the tube, any way; the box has their proper names, as well as their simple names) – which is always a good thing because you know exactly what you’re getting.

Ingredients (via tube): “Shea butter, retinol, hyaluronic acid, aloe, rose hips, green tea, chamomile, blueberry extract, cranberry extract, goji berry extract, acai berry extract, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, sweet almond oil, macadamia nut oil, mango seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, raspberry seed oil.”

You can also find a breakdown of the benefits of the key ingredients here (scroll down once at the linked page).

Don’t forget to check out other Oz Naturals products that I have reviewed in the past. And keep an eye open, as I’ll have another of their products up for review soon.

This evaluation and review is an accounting of my true opinions and experiences, and is written in the same manner as if I had bought it at full-price, been given as a gift, or received as a sample.

#OzNaturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer - Softening & freshening. Read the review #spon Hello my lovelies! I've missed you all. I have a couple of reviews I'm going to post while I have the chance.

[justbeingjulz]

But first… life-stuff update: This week has been interesting, started my new (and final) quarter. Yesterday was ok, but we received news that we would take our RMA Certification Exam (THE BIG EXAM)  on Monday the 21st! Imagine how surprised and completely freaked out we were! But it’s been pushed to Tuesday, still not a whole lot of time to do a review, but hopefully we’ll be ready by then! All this time I’ve been getting nothing but As in my classes and on my exams, but yesterday I took 5 pre-tests that a former instructor had uploaded for us and got two 68s, a 69, a 70, and a 72 (reverse order, so progressively worse). Today, in class we took an official pre-test, heh. I got a 76%… but I’m trying not to sweat it and I’m trying to look on the positive side – our instructor (really she’s our externship coordinator, so I’ll just call her EC from here-on-out) told us that her previous classes would score in the 30s on this test. So our class, on average, scored much better. Tomorrow we do another pre-test, and then Thursday we do the harder and longer pre-test. Sigh. Makes me glad I don’t have pottery class tonight. Oh that’s another thing, there is no more night class option, so only days from here on out and no more sleeping in, except on weekends. Getting up yesterday morning was taxing! I’ll get used to it though.

Trying to keep this in mind:

But yeah, that’s where things are with me right now!

Try The World Thailand Box (February’s box, I believe)

With a subscription to Try The World, you get a box every other month. I wanted the Thailand box, which I wasn’t scheduled to receive, so I purchased it separately. Same with the Paris box (which I’ll post separately at another time) – that had already been in a previous month that I missed, but luckily they had it available to purchase as a Gift. I also just got March’s box a few days ago, which is Portugal, so that’ll be in a separate post another time, as well.

The box was curated by Chef Jet Tila, which is very cool because I’ve seen him on TV/cooking channels quite a bit and it’s always exciting when you receive things that “famous” people put together, you know what I mean?! LOL

Anyway, it says that Chef Jet Tila is “the son of the first US Thai grocery store owners,  […] learned how to cook Thai cuisine with his grandmother. Today, he is a regular judge on Food Network’s Cutthroat Kitchen and is Thailand’s first-ever Culinary Ambassador. He is the chef-owner of Pakpao Thai restaurant in Texas.”

In this box:

Eros Soft Dried Jackfruit: “Thai families generally buy fruit and vegetables from trucks in the street that announce their daily selection. This product forms an important part of the diet. Locals eat the fresh or dried variety as a snack during the day.”

Chiwadi Coconut Flower Syrup: “A common sweetener, this hand-harvested syrup is made by collecting the nectar that flows from coconut blossoms when they are cut. The producer provides fair wages and funds projects in western Thailand.”

Virgin Coco Coconut Crispy Rolls: “In Thai, these crumbly cookies are called thong muan. Thong means gold, so giving these cookies to someone as a gift is interpreted as a wish for wealth. They’re particularly delicious alongside traditional Thai tea.”

Jasberry Jasberry Rice: “This new strain of rice is packed with antioxidants and fiber, making it one of the most healthful varieties. It’s also fair trade: Jasberry employs only small-scale producers and shares profits with farmers and cooperatives.”

Nittaya Thai Curry Curry Paste: “Long ago, Thai cooks took inspiration from Indian curry to create a distinct variation with fresh herbs. Based on their traditional family recipe, Nittaya is known for its quality and as a staple ingredient in Thai home kitchens.”

Chaidim Herbal Tea: “Chiadim grows organic aromatics in northern Thailand to create healthful tea blends, such as these three made with lemongrass. A natural tonic, the herb has anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and antioxidant properties.”

Lumlum Tom Yum Soup Set: “A perfect balance of sour and spicy, Tom Yum Soup is known for its medicinal properties. The spices included in this set are harvested from a small village in northern Thailand and make it easy to cook your own at home.

Siammit Spicy Rice Crackers: “Thailand is the second largest rice exporter in the world, and rice forms the base of most Thai dishes. These crackers are a great variation on the staple grain: full of flavorful spices, they’re an incredibly addicting snack.”

The theme on the back of the culture guide is “A Thai Afternoon” and has suggestions for Thai tea,  playlist of music, and a Thai dinner for four. The recipes that are provided that include some of the ingredients:

Green Curry Chicken

Jasberry Rice Pudding

I just love reading about these cultures and the background stories behind each ingredient! – it just adds so much more to the whole experience! I haven’t had a chance to tried any of these items or recipes yet – luckily, they don’t look like they’re perish anytime soon. Hopefully, I will be able to make something of it on a day I can actually take my time and enjoy it!

I have made a couple more dishes with some of the ingredients from the Spain and Holiday boxes though :) I’ll post another dish using a couple of items from the Spain box tomorrow (hopefully).

Want to Try The World, for yourself? You can get $15 off your 1st box. Link :)
