Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat Shampoo & Conditioner! #FructisTreats


I'm back after quite some time, to tell you all about Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat shampoo and conditioner! I received these products complimentary as part of an Influenster campaign, for testing purposes and my honest review.



The first thing I noticed about the Garnier Fructis Treats Smoothing shampoo and conditioner was the uniquely shaped bottles. I love the fact that the caps and bottles are different colors, it's just so different and unique! It makes it so easy to tell the bottles apart. But what I love even more is the fact that Garnier Fructis Treats uses vegan formulas!

From Garnier's website:
Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat Conditioner with Avocado Extract is made with 98% naturally derived ingredients. Nourish and smooth for frizzy hair. No silicones, no parabens, no artificial colorants, vegan formula with no animal derived ingredients. 

Now you know a little bit about what the product is made of, or not made of. But how did it work on my hair?


It definitely did smooth my hair! Maybe a little too much. I think this formula was just a bit too heavy for my hair type. I really have to give it a good rinse or else my hair ends up with excess product still in it. But, by day 2, my hair doesn't feel so weighed down. I think a different Garnier Fructis Treat would work better on my hair type, however, if avocado has worked well for you in the past, then you may like this! I'll certainly be using this for a while because I just love how soft it makes my hair! Plus it leaves my hair smelling great!


Have you tried any of the Garnier fructis treats? If so, how did you like it? Leave a comment and let me (and fellow readers!) know what you thought!

And sending a big thanks to Influenster and Garnier Fructis for making this post possible!

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream & Pumpkin Pie Without Evaporated Milk | Collaboration WITH JeanetteJewel


As I've mentioned briefly in a previous post, I brought a TON of snacks for my in-laws! My sister in-law, Jeanette, wanted as many Oreo flavors as I could find! Among those, I brought hershey bars, sour patch kids, skittles, gold fish snacks, and so much more. One of those 'snacks' was a can of Libby's Pure Pumpkin. My in-laws have never had pumpkin pie, or pumpkin for that matter. While Søren has visited me twice in the US, we totally forgot both times to make or buy a pumpkin pie! I just had to bring some with me so everyone could try it.

Today we all got together to make the pie! The recipe calls for evaporated milk, however we didn't have that. Check out what we used instead on my sister in-law's blog, JeanetteJewel! I think it may even be better than the original recipe!!

Instead of using the usual whipped cream for our pumpkin pie, we decided to make homemade vanilla ice cream!! It is so delicious! And easy!

Som jeg kort har nævnt før i et andet blog indlæg, har jeg købt et TON af snacks til min svigerfamilie! Min svigerinde, Jeanette, ville have ligeså mange slags Oreo som jeg kunne finde! Udover dem, havde jeg også hershey bars, sour patch kids, skittles, gold fish snacks og en masse andet med. En af de 'snacks' jeg også havde med var en dåse af Libby's Pure Pumpkin. Min svigerfamilie har aldrig fået græskartærte - eller egentlig bare græskar.. og selvom Søren har besøgt mig to gange i USA, glemte vi helt at enten lave eller købe græskartærte begge gange! Jeg var simpelthen nødt til at tage noget med til Danmark så alle kunne smage det.

I dag lavede vi allesammen tærten sammen! Der står i opskriften at man normalt skal bruge evaporated milk, men det havde vi ikke. Den opskrift vi istedet brugte kan I se på min svigerindes blog, JeanetteJewel! Jeg tror måske endda, at den er bedre end den originale opskrift!!

Istedet for at komme flødeskum ovenpå tærten, som man normalt gør, så bestemte vi os for at lave en hjemmelavet vanille is! Den er så lækker! Og nem!





Ingredients/Ingredienser


2 large eggs / 2 store æg (Pasteuriserede!)
3/4 cup (160 g.) sugar / 160 g. sukker
2 cups (½ liter) heavy or whipping cream / ½ liter fløde
1 cup milk / 1 dl. mælk
2 tsp vanilla sugar / 2 tsk vanille sukker



Directions/Fremgangsmåde


Whisk the eggs for 1-2 minutes in a bowl until they're light and fluffy.
Add the sugar a little at a time and continue mixing for around 1 minute, or until completely blended and then add in the vanilla sugar.
Whip the cream in another bowl and then add it to the egg-mixture.
Slowly mix it all together until completely combined.

If you don't have an ice cream machine,
Put the ice cream mixture in a tupperware like container and put it in the freezer. Make sure your container will withstand being in the freezer.
Stir the ice cream once every hour until it's creamy like soft serve ice cream.
Now let it freeze completely, and when it's solid, enjoy!

If you do have an ice cream machine,
Pour it into your machine and let it churn for about 50 minutes.
Pour it into a tupperware like container and put it in the freezer to freeze solid.

______


Pisk æggene i 1-2 minutter i en skål indtil de næsten hvide.

Kom sukkeret i lidt efter lidt og bliv ved med at piske i cirka 1 minut eller indtil det er helt pisket sammen. Kom dernæst vanille sukker i og pisk igen.
Pisk fløden i en anden skål og vend det langsomt i æggeblandingen, indtil det hele er én masse.

Hvis du ikke har en is maskine,
Kom isen i en fryseboks og kom det i fryseren. Rør i isen én gang i timen indtil den er cremet, lidt som soft-ice.
Lad den dernæst fryse helt indtil den er solid og nyd den!

Hvis du har en ismaskine,
Hæld is massen på maskinen og lad den køre i cirka 50 minutter.
Kom det i en fryseboks og frys indtil den er solid.
