You work pretty much every single day and have so many different responsibilities. Due to this, you deserve a wonderful break away from time to time. A vacation or travel experience is what we all deserve. Doing the same things every single day is so unfulfilling for most. Making the most of our free time matters an awful lot. We only get so much time on this planet, so it’s a case of making memories while we can.

There are very few people who actually dislike meringues and for good reason. Meringues are light, fluffy desserts and they are the main character (despite being used as decoration in some dishes!). They can form so many different dessert options, but if you’ve never handled meringue before you might be worried about how you make them without making significant mistakes.

You might be wondering what is pavlova, and you’d be right to wonder! If you want tasty desserts that are sweet and fruity, then a pavlova could be a game changer for you! The thing is, meringue is a tricky dish and handling it isn't the easiest thing to do. So, here are some of the mistakes that would be ruining your meringue experience.

1. You’re adding the sugar far too fast! There’s nothing worse than working on a meringue and watching it collapse. Egg white is the main ingredient of meringues and it’s the only thing holding it all together. When you add too much sugar you weigh it down and that can cause collapse.

2. You don't add the important ingredients. Cream of tartar is a very important ingredient in meringue as it adds much more structure than the egg whites do. When you use cream of tartar, you can ensure that the air is held longer - it’s something you should have in the pantry! 

3. The bowl isn’t clean or dry. If you have any oil in the bowl that you choose to use for your meringue mix, it will go wrong. Even the slightest residue can make a difference to the resulting meringue and this isn't just the bowl, but the whipping attachment. A squeaky clean bowl that is properly dried out will be the best thing to do so check twice!

4. You are using cold eggs. Meringues are supposed to be made with eggs that have been able to sit at room temperature. The whites will offer a much airier meringue when they have sat out for a while before cooking. Give yourself half an hour with the eggs on the side before you start making your dish, and you will have a much better weight and volume.

5. You’ve over beaten the eggs. There’s a significant level of beating needed for meringue dishes but there is such a thing as beating too much. Too much beating and you’ll end up with a lumpy mess, not a shiny and moist meringue. If you beat your eggs too long the whites will go further than peak stiffness and instead of silky, you get grainy!

6. You knock the air out. It’s a fine line not to overbeat meringues, especially when you’re trying to create magic. Knocking the air out of the eggs will mean less magic and more deflation. You want it to peak and be white and silky, not splat on the tray.

Meringues are delicious and you can make the best lemon meringue pie or pavlova when you avoid these mistakes.

MAC Lipsticks in Lady Danger, Snob, Devoted to Chili, More the Mehr-ier

Hi all and TGIF. I'm sharing some MAC lipsticks that I have accumulated in the past months. I have two mini lipsticks in the shades Lady Danger and Snob. I also have two Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolor in Devoted to Chili and More the Mehr-ier.

MAC Satin Lipstick in Snob

MAC Satin Lipstick in Snob - "A creamy lipstick formula with a soft cushiony feel, medium-to-full buildable coverage, and a satin finish." Snob is described as a "light neutral pink." The color reminds me of Please Me, though this might be lighter and maybe would wash me out.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Lady Danger

MAC Matte Lipstick in Lady Danger - "A creamy rich lipstick formula with high color payoff in a no-shine matte finish." Lady Danger is described as a "vivid bright coral-red." This shade has been on my to-buy list for quite some time now because a lot of people that I follow on social media recommend this. Somehow, I can't get myself to buy full-sized because I avoid orange-reds like the plague. I'll be testing out the shade and hope for the best.

 

MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolor in Devoted to Chili and More the Mehr-ier - "A liquid lip color with a whipped, mousse-like texture that delivers soft-focus moisture-matte, comfortable color with ten hours of hydration."

MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolor in Devoted to Chili

Devoted to Chili is described as "warm brick red." I have this shade in the bullet lipstick form (see here: Devoted to Chili) and liked it well enough to purchase the liquid lip color. The color looks to be more terracotta and perfect for an autumnal look.

MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolor in More the Mehr-ier

More the Mehr-ier is described as a "mid-tone mauve pink." The pinky shade adds color to the face without it looking too pink or too nude. I think that mauves can flatter most skin tones and this is a safe lip color for almost everybody.

Missha All Around Safe Block Essence Sun Milk SPF 50+ PA+++

Hi everyone. I hope you are having a good weekend. For today, I have the last of the K-beauty sunscreens I featured last time, the Missha Essence Sun Milk. Missha offers an extensive range of sunscreens for every skin type and this one is targeted for dry skin.

Benefits:
- Lightweight, non-sticky sunblock for everyday use
- SPF50+ PA+++
- Has a cooling sensation to soothe the skin

Key Ingredients:
Natural Barrier Complex - Contains golden root, guava leaf, cinchona, verbena, and aloe vera extract to hydrate, nourish and protect the skin from damage
Helios Chrysos Flower Water - Protects the skin from external factors
Thanaka and Antozone-Roze - Keeps the skin shielded from damage caused by external pollutants

How to use: Apply an even layer onto the skin prior and allow to absorb before leaving the house.

Missha All Around Safe Block Essence Sun Milk SPF 50+ PA+++

Missha All Around Safe Block Essence Sun Milk comes in a plastic squeezable tube with a nozzle cap. It contains 70ml of product so the bottle is bigger than most sunscreens in the market. It's still lightweight and travel-friendly and the nozzle is a great way of dispensing just enough product to use.

What I liked about this sunscreen is how lightweight it feels on the skin. Th watery-gel consistency is the lightest formula I have tried in a sunscreen. The product feels soothing and cooling and is absorbed readily. It is also non-greasy and non-sticky.

Missha All Around Safe Block Essence Sun Milk is a chemical sunscreen and as such not feel heavy on the skin. It applies well under makeup and does not pill. It also has nourishing and moisturizing benefits because of the "Natural Barrier Complex (flower extracts)."

Swatch: Missha All Around Safe Block Essence Sun Milk SPF 50+ PA+++

Personally, I prefer to use this sunscreen during the colder months when my skin feels dry and needs a bit of hydration and TLC. With my oily-combination skin, I find the formula of this sunscreen a tad too moisturizing during the summer.

Overall, Missha Essence Sun Milk is one of my go-to sunscreens for colder months. This chemical sunscreen feels lightweight, hydrating, nourishing, and cooling. It is absorbed readily and doesn't feel greasy even when you apply several layers of it. This also has a soothing and calming effect on the skin. In addition, this doesn't separate or pill underneath makeup and doesn't leave any white cast. It leaves a semi-matte, natural finish. This sunscreen provides maximum sun protection and is affordable. This has a slight perfume fragrance so those who have very sensitive noses may want to avoid this one

 

Pros:

- Lightweight, watery-gel formula

- Moisturizing and nourishing yet non-sticky

- Cooling and soothing effect

- Absorbs readily

- Doesn't disturb makeup, does not pill

- Maximum broad spectrum protection and high SPF 

- Natural finish

- Affordable

Cons:

-Slight perfume fragrance
