Time for a Vegan 🌿 Gluten-Free Afternoon Tea 🌷 Earl Grey Shortcake Recipe by Abby Phon

We’re back today with a healthy and elegant afternoon tea-time treat by Abby Phon, a health & wellness life coach and vegan recipe guru who has been partnering with Hynt Beauty to provide us with original Hynt recipes that feature one or a few of the ingredients that we formulate into our clean, makeup and skincare products.

Introducing her all new vegan & gluten-free Earl Grey Shortbread recipe which features Bergamot Oil from real Earl Grey Tea Leaves, and a dash of Vanilla, too.

“Personally, I LOVE Earl Grey Tea,” says Abby, who found it challenging to avoid the caffeinated drink while she was breastfeeding. She eventually went for the decaf version but it got her thinking about how she can infuse that flavor into a baked goodie to go with the tea “…or just as well with the red raspberry leaf tea I was drinking to support and tone my uterus,” she jokes.

“Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) is actually a cross between a lemon and an orange, and has a very citrus-y scent. It’s best known for being the main flavor in Earl Grey tea, but besides its distinctive aroma, bergamot oil is amazing for your skin and body!”

Bergamot is full of polyphenols, a natural antiseptic and cicatrisant, which is helpful for minimizing acne scars and other skin marks.

Vanilla is sweet, universally loved, especially in sweets and fragrances but it also has great beauty & health benefits, too! Real vanilla is full of antioxidants and has powerful anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Earl Grey Shortbread

(Vegan & Gluten Free)

INGREDIENTS

½ cup Earth Balance Buttery Spread, softened

½ cup maple syrup or coconut nectar

2¼ cups gluten-free flour blend (I used Pamela’s Artisan Flour Blend)

2 tbsp organic earl grey loose leaf tea or the insides of 4-6 tea bags

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

¼ tsp pink Himalayan salt

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350F

Blitz earl grey tea in a spice/coffee grinder, blender, food processor (or mini-prep) until powdery

Add Earth Balance, maple syrup, tea, vanilla and salt to a food processor and pulse until well combined

Add flour and pulse until a dough forms
Form into a patty and refrigerate for ~20 minutes to firm up

On a floured surface, flatten to a ½ thick rectangle and cut into squares

Transfer to a baking pan or cookie sheet and bake for 14-15 minutes, until just browned on the edges

Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Don’t worry if they are a little soft – they will harden as they cool!

Enjoy!

Top Blouse Designs for Wearing Wedding Sarees

 

Designer blouses are the best type of blouses that can be worn with modern sarees. Their charm and appeal is subtle and adds edge to the personality and you get the attention you deserve.

Previously Indian ladies were accustomed to only few styles of draping and blouse types. However, designs have drastically changed now. These days, an urban woman wants to look unique as much as possible. Nevertheless, her dressing sense is reflected in her outlook and appearance.

Saree is a staple cloth in India that has undergone several changes. It has also emerged as a sensual outfit and is even worn at Cannes by the Bollywood stars. There are different types of sarees. Contemporary party wear sarees are different from the modern ones. These are designed exclusively to give the traditional look. One of such saree is the pattu sarees.

Let us have a look on how to enhance the pattu sarees.

New age look

Most of the designer pattu sarees are inspired by indo-western look. With these types of sarees, you can wear noodle strap blouses, halter neck blouses, backless and heavily worked back patterned blouses. You must give special attention to neck designs of blouses. If you want to show off your even toned bare back, you can settle with lace backless chiffon material.

On the other hand, if you want to go for a classy and traditional look you can go with the choli design or look for alternatives with sleeves. You must also keep the color and tone of your skin in mind while making one. Not only should it compliment your skin color, but also your personality.

Most of these designs will include pads that will cut out the requirement of wearing bras. However, you must give your fit properly for having the most suitable fit. Once you have figured out your pattern and styles, you can yourself create a versatile variety of blouses, which you can wear from time to time.

You can play with the embellishments. From heavily embellished blouses to minimal work you should choose accordingly. Wear blouses according to your occasion.

Readymade or boutique designed blouses

You may wear your pattu saree with a readymade laced blouse or one designed in a boutique. Both of them can be mixed and matched. Buying readymade blouses from online stores will definitely save time.

On the other hand if you want a flawless fitting, you must go for a tailor made alternative. Obviously tailor made designs will take time but you cannot get the perfection from readymade. You can also design your blouse according to the pattern, designs, work and style of pattu sarees.

Tips to choose a style for pattu sarees

Style is all about being comfortable & confident. Unless you don’t know what suits your body type or skin, it is difficult to garner attention. If you are tall, you can opt for circular or square blouses but remember that you must avoid V-shaped and U-shaped blouse neck designs. For pattu sarees you can.

Tired of fruitless weight loss fads? Here are 5 unique and practical ways for success.

According to a recent study, weight loss is the most common New Year resolution. Sadly, more than 80% of people do not achieve success s- the main reason for this failure being blindly following unreasonable weight loss beliefs that are based on fallacious and ridiculous arguments.

For any result, a weight loss plan must last for at least 5 weeks. Anything that suggests a duration that is lesser to lose weight tiowill most probably not work.

A good diet alone is the key- absolutely not!

A good weight loss regimen is a combination of many factors. Good feeding habits alone may not guarantee good results.

The idea is to burn as many calories as you can while still cutting back on the daily intake. But reportedly, some people still claim that this impartial belief does not work for them. Want to know the reason why?

Before embarking on any weight loss workout plan, you must believe in it first. Rather than approaching it with a starting-from-square-one mentality, go for it with an “I am already incinerating some fat belief”.

Seeking help online

Although most certified physicians try to discredit online help, mostly from blogs, you can actually get a lot of help from these. However, even with these wells of info at hand, it is still advisable to consult a certified professional on a regular basis for face-to-face guidance. There are also a lot of things that you can learn from weight loss support groups.

Keeping that diary will be worthwhile

Recently, studies revealed that people who keep diaries during their weight loss regimens are more conscious and focused on weight loss, and therefore are more likely to achieve better levels of success than people who don’t.

Keeping yourself hydrated helps a lot

The best drink to help keep yourself hydrated is water. If you think that water is a little too repetitious, natural fruit smoothies can be used side by side with water. Scientifically proven, drinking lots of calorie-free liquids helps increase calorie incineration.

There are very many theories to back up this fact. For example, some people argue that the body uses a significant amount of calories to heat up the cold water after it is consumed. Others suggest that drinking water regularly helps reduce junk food cravings. Eating water saturated fruits wholly such as watermelons also help a lot.

Cutting down too much on the food intake triggers starvation mode

Naturally, the human body regulates its weight by ensuring that it stays at its predominant state. Cutting down heavily on calorie intake abruptly could cause the body to enter starvation mode, where the body also slows down its metabolic rate.

Instead of denying your body food for extremely long hours, eat a balanced diet during your normal feeding hours.   This way, you will ensure that the metabolic rate does not go below normal. Simple and realistic weight loss training accelerates it from normal to high for maximum fat incineration.
