DISCLAIMER: Everyone's skin is different. My opinions are just that; they are not cold, hard facts. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa, but I write these reviews to give you a detailed perspective before you go around spending your money everywhere. This skincare trio by Edenbelle Beauty is a milk-based product line consisting of lactic acid formulas to provide gentle chemical exfoliation and brightening of the skin. I found this skincare line in an ad when this company had just recently launched these products and/or packaging and was looking for people to try it out and complete a survey. The total value of these three products was $125, but all I had to do was pay $7 shipping. $7 for an entire full-size skincare trio is an absolute steal! In fact, I was skeptical because there's no way it will be good if I'm getting it for this cheap. But I'll be honest; this was one of my best skin care experiences. It was so much fun to use these products, and th...

Healthy Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies and Edible Cookie Dough

 These are a protein and nutrient-packed dessert!

 TikTok has made it so easy for me to find amazing and delicious recipes that are also healthy! I enjoy scrolling all day, liking, sharing, and saving recipes. During my daily dose of TikTok scrolling, I came across a recipe by Valentina Mussi, edible chickpea cookie dough. Now, she wasn't the only one who had posted this recipe, but she was the first person I came across, so I used her recipe and adjusted it to my liking. Although it tasted good the first time I made it, the chickpeas threw the texture off for me just a bit, but that's just because I'm not that big of a cookie dough fan anyway, not even the regular butter and heat-treated flour recipes. (unless it's in ice cream) But the flavor overall was good. The second time, though, when I used mini chocolate chips rather than large chocolate chunks, I fell in love with the cookie dough balls.


After I made it, I decided to experiment and see what would happen if I put it in the oven to bake, so I took a ramekin, scooped a little bit of the dough into it, and put it in the oven for 10 minutes. When I took it out, I was pleasantly surprised. The flavor was delicious, and the texture was on point. 
So I threw half the batch in, let it bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees, then took them out, flattened them with the back of a spoon, and sprinkled them with flaky sea salt. The ingredients for the cookie dough and the cookies are the same, but to help with the texture and the baking, you just have to add one teaspoon of baking soda if you move forward and turn them into cookies.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chickpeas (You can use canned chickpeas; I chose to boil my own)
  • 3 - 5 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons nut butter of choice (I used almond butter because it is the most flavor neutral, but depending on your taste preference, use whatever you want)
  • 1 cup oat flour and/or almond flour (this is also up to pick, I ended up using both)
  • Cinnamon (to taste)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup to 1 cup chocolate chips (Go as crazy as you want)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (for cookies only)
  • Vanilla essence (optional, along with any other toppings you would like, i.e., crushed walnuts, coconut flakes)

Procedure:

  1. Blend up your chickpeas in a food processor or blender along with the maple syrup and your nut butter.
  2. After it comes to a creamy consistency, add the flour, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla.
  3. Once it's blended well, pour it into a bowl and fold in your chocolate chips and other toppings of choice.
  4. Roll into even-size balls.
  5. Should you choose to bake them, add one teaspoon of baking soda before rolling them into balls
  6. Bake in the oven for 7 to 12 minutes at 350°F
  7. when they come out, they will be a bit soft to the touch and hard to handle, but just press them down with a spoon to give them a nice crispiness and shape, and enjoy them after they've cooled
If you like them under-done, it is totally safe to eat them half-baked (I enjoy them that way), but if you want them to be a little crispier and chewier, then bake them for longer.

Enjoy!

Luminance Skincare Review

     DISCLAIMER: everyone's skin is different. My opinions are just that; they are not cold, hard facts. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa, but I write these reviews to give you a detailed perspective before you go around spending your money everywhere.   All-natural skincare has been all the rage out there recently. Still, it's not easy to find skincare brands that can be trusted to have science-backed formulas that work and are worth the money rather than being over-glorified DIYs that can either be useless in protecting the skin or are often harmful. Any dermatologist will tell you to stay away from companies claiming to have all-natural formulas because when we turn to skincare, we are trying to fight what nature is doing to our skin. So, I set out to find what I thought could be the "correct" version of all-natural. A formula that avoids carcinogens, harmful synthetic compounds, and harsh  chemicals. Now, I emphasize the word po...

Welcome to my blog!

     Hi! I don't know how to go about this blog. Still, I want the main focus of it to be all-natural beauty, home remedies for skincare, health and wellness tips, healthy, wholesome, and whole recipes, and much more for a healthy and happy lifestyle! I will be trying out different brands and products and doing reviews for those unsure whether they want to go through with their purchase.      As we are all going through this current global virus pandemic together, I have gotten a chance to educate myself on the things happening in the world and in future career options. I should have started this blog long ago, as soon as the stay-at-home order was implemented, but I was too focused on other things. I am right now, too, but if this blog is something I want to do, then I should start now. Otherwise, it'll never happen. I study overseas in Nairobi, Kenya, at an Arabic Academy called Al Jamea tus Saifiyah. It is my fifth year at the University, but I am, of co...

The CeraVe bye-bye Acne line is Legendary

DISCLAIMER: Everyone's skin is different. My opinions are just that; they are not cold, hard facts. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa, but I write these reviews to give you a detailed perspective before you go around spending your money everywhere. I had heard about CeraVe as an excellent drugstore brand for a while and wanted to get my hands on some products. As it turns out, I came across a giveaway ad on Cerave's Instagram, and all I had to do to enter was give them my email and do a little survey regarding my skin type (they were giving away all of their different lines)  Once I received the package in the mail, I was so excited to rip into the products and use them, but at the time, I was just finishing up Luminance and was about to start using Fleur and Bee  (which I talked about in my last blog post if you want to go check that out) So it was quite a while before I actually started using CeraVe. I did post my  first impressions  on my IG a...
