HOMEMADE EYEBROW WAX

Ingredients:
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp honey
1 tsp water
You’ll also need a knife or something flat to apply the wax and some cloth strips for peeling it off.

Directions:
1) Combine ingredients in a microwavable container. You could also use the stove instead of microwave, but you’d need a very tiny pan.
2) Cook mixture in the microwave (or on the stove) until it bubbles and turns brown.If you don’t cook the mixture long enough, it stays too soft and sticky to work. If you cook it too long, it turns into hard candy. Cook it for about 30 or 35 seconds.
3) Let cool. This is also important. You won’t know if you’ve cooked the wax long enough until it cools down. If it’s too thick, dilute it a little and try it out.
4) Brows, get ready for some waxing!
5) Apply wax to only the part of the brow you want to remove.
6) Apply cloth strip to waxed eyebrow. Press and smooth in the direction of the hair growth.
7) When you’re ready, rip the cloth off of your eyebrow in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
8) After waxing, tweezing just a tiny bit to clean up strays, and filling in the gap with a little bit of eye pencil.

Pattypan Panzanella

Ingredients
5-6 small pattypan squash, cut into 1 inch pieces
olive oil, for drizzling
1½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 small cucumber, chopped into ½ inch pieces
½ clove garlic, minced
sherry vinegar, for drizzling
½ cup mini mozzarella balls, sliced in half (skip if vegan)
4-5 slices stale sourdough bread, sliced into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup toasted pine nuts
big handful of torn fresh basil leaves
generous pinches of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat a grill pan to medium. Toss the squash pieces with a drizzle of olive oil, and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Place the squash onto the grill pan and grill each side until the squash is tender and char marks form (about 2 minutes per side).
Place the cherry tomatoes and cucumbers in a large bowl and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, the minced garlic, a drizzle of sherry vinegar, and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Toss again.
When the squash is done, add it to the bowl along with mozzarella, bread, pine nuts, and basil.
Add more olive oil, sherry vinegar, salt and pepper as needed.
Let the salad sit at room temp for about 15 minutes so that the bread has the chance to soak up the flavorful juices.
