Learn How Homemade Wax Sugar Waxing Recipe Can Help You Achieve Divinely Smooth Legs

Learn How Homemade Wax Sugar Waxing Recipe Can Help You Achieve Divinely Smooth Legs

There are many different homemade wax sugar waxing recipes and methods out there. This recipe is definitely one of the best recipes available because it is so simple to make and the results it achieves are great and most importantly... long lasting.

I've tried every home waxing kit available... I've spent countless hours pulling and applying the wax and ending up with irritated skin and not much to show for. I've tried shaving, and do I have to even mention the tediousness of the daily shaving routine. Sheesh! A friend shared this homemade wax sugar waxing recipe with me. I've tried it and never looked back.

There are many variations of this homemade wax sugar waxing recipe out there. But, I prefer to keep it simple since it has consistently given me such great results.

Homemade wax sugar waxing recipe

You'll need:

2 cups of regular granulated sugar
1/4 cup of water (some people use distilled water, but tap water is just fine
1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (remove seeds).

Technicalities

A saucepan
A plastic container or jar
Dull knife
Cotton strips (cut out an old t-shirt)
Cooking thermometer.

Preparation

1 Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan.
2 Start with heating the mix up on low temperature, until the bubbles start showing up.
3 Using the thermometer, make sure the mix has reached 250F. When this happens, take it off and pour into the previously prepared container. Let the mix cool down.
4 Make sure the mix has cooled enough so it doesn't burn you.
5 Using the dull knife, spread the mix in the direction of hair growth.
6 Place the cotton strip, press with your fingers a bit and then pull in the direction opposite the hair growth.

To wash off, use warm water and soap, that will do it.

Homemade wax sugar waxing tips

Make sure the hairs are 1/4 inch or so long. If too short, you won't be able to pull them out.

This mix can be reused if you haven't used it all up the first time. Simply keep in the refrigerator and then reheat in the microwave when you want to use it.

Finally, to help pull out the hairs more easily, take a shower beforehand and use a body scrub to remove extra dead skin that sugar might adhere to.

Nachos - Delicious Homemade Nachos Recipe

Nachos - Delicious Homemade Nachos Recipe

Nachos are triangles of tortilla that have been deep fried until crispy and topped with a variety of spicy tomato and pepper mixture and grated cheese (to brown either under the grill or in the oven).

This nachos recipe makes 30 servings. Please adjust ingredients to the number of guests.

Ingredients

5 tortillas
1 jar tomato salsa dip
Oil (preferably olive oil)
1 red bell pepper
4 spring onions
4 fresh and ripe tomatoes
1 tin re-fried beans
200 grams mature cheddar cheese or desired cheese
3 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (grated)
Cilantro leaves, chopped

Optional - 1 jar of red jalapenos and 1 jar of green jalapenos

Preparation

Stack the tortillas neatly and cut in half with a sharp knife, then cut each half into 3 wedges to give 6 nachos from each tortilla.

Heat about 2.5cm (1 inch) oil in a frying pan until just smoking. Fry the pieces of tortilla, only a few at a time, until they are crispy and browned (just lightly). Turn them once as you fry them. Remove from the frying pan and leave to drain any excess of oil. Now, transfer them to a baking sheet as we are going to place them in the oven.

Place the red pepper into a grill pan and grill until the skin is slightly burnt. When done, leave to cool (careful, peppers can get very hot!) and peel off the skin. Chop the pepper into small squares.

Mix the chopped pepper with the salsa, spring onions and the ripe tomatoes.

Mash the re-fried beans and spread it over the nachos as if it was butter. Top the spread with the tomato mixture.

Now is the time to sprinkle each nacho with the grated cheese (both Cheddar and Parmesan) and place them under a preheated oven, not too hot. When the cheese starts to bubbles and it browns slightly remove the nachos from the oven. Alternatively, you can place the baking tray with the nachos in a preheated oven at gas mark 6 for around 12 minutes (or until the cheese starts to bubble).

Nachos can be served hot or cold, they are a fantastic appetizer. Sprinkle with the chopped coriander, it adds a great final touch.

If desired, add the green and red jalapenos over the nachos but do serve them in separate dishes as some people will not want the hot chilies.

This is a great nachos recipe, easy to make and always very successful with your guests!

Spend time experimenting separate mixes, it is the only way to obtain the ideal chocolate chip cookie you desire. As soon as you get hold of the best combinations, you too will enjoy the tasty treat of chocolatey goodness you and your family will be delighted as well.
