It’s an excuse to use up all those leftover veggies at the end of the week. This easily adaptable Chinese stir-fry recipe takes into account all sorts of tastes and makes good use of whatever you happen to have on hand.

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. Before you start cooking, arrange all your ingredients in bowls or on plates so that they’re ready to use. Once you begin cooking, it will all go very quickly; you won’t have time to chop or cut anything.
2. In a very large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp. (15 mL) of the vegetable oil over high heat. Add your meat choice and stir-fry for 3 or 4 minutes until just cooked through. The amount of time will depend a little on what you’re cooking. Remove to a bowl (but don’t use the bowl in which you had the raw meat unless you’ve washed it first).
3. Add remaining 1 tbsp. (15 mL) oil to the pan. Throw in onion, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Now begin to add the vegetable possibilities to the pan, beginning with the ones that take the longest to cook (carrots, broccoli stems, etc.) and ending with the ones that cook most quickly (bean sprouts, snow peas). Cook, stirring and tossing for about 2 minutes, then pour in the broth, cover the pan with a lid and let everything steam for 2 or 3 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce and cornstarch.
5. When the vegetables are tender but still quite crisp, return the meat (or whatever) to the pan, stir and add the soy sauce mixture. Continue to stir-fry for 1 or 2 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and glossy. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle the top with the extra bonus ingredient, if you’re using one.
6. Serve immediately with hot cooked rice or noodles.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair…

Disney is taking a new twist on the classic story of Rapunzel. So much that they’ve renamed the movie to Tangled.

Producer Roy Conli posted on Facebook about the upcoming flick, “I have some exciting news to share, and it was important to me that YOU guys – the Disney fans – hear it first. I want to tell you about Walt Disney Animation Studio’s 2010 release, Tangled. It’s a really fresh,smart take on the Rapunzel story. In our film, the infamous bandit Flynn Rider meets his match in the girl with the 70 feet of magical golden hair. We’re having a lot of fun pairing Flynn, who’s seen it all, with Rapunzel, who’s been locked away in a tower for 18 years.”

He continued, “I’m so proud of the crew working on this film – they’re doing a fantastic job creating an awesome story with great characters and a stunning world – and it’s all going to look amazing in 3D. All of us here at the studio are incredibly excited for you to see Tangled when it comes out in theaters this November.”

TELL JJJ: Are you excited for Tangled?

Your hairstyle can accentuate your natural beauty, or not. It is important to pick a hairstyle that brings out the best of your face.

Square face: If your face has a lot of hard angles, then you want a haircut that softens these lines. The best is a shoulder-length cut that is wavy, not straight. Hayden Panettiere has this sort of face and cut. She looks good with bangs, but doesn’t usually have them.

If you have a triangular face then you may have a prominent of pointy chin, like Kristen Stewart. The best look for you then is long hair cut into layers that will give it volume.

Long face: If your face is long then you will want to wear your hair curly or wavy with bangs. Taylor Swift is a good example of this look. Check her out with straight hair!

Round face: If you have a round face then you can wear your hair in just about any style. Just look at Selena and Miley! But the best cut is a long straight style that balances the roundness of their faces.

Fun Nails!

When you have your nails done nicely, it makes you look for formal and elegant. You could even have a bad hair day, but if your nails look fabulous, it will make all the difference!

First thing to remember is not to bite your nails. Many people have the bad habit of biting their nails, but this is a really horrible habit.

Next thing to remember is to keep all your nails at the same length. Don’t use scissors to cut your nails, use nail clippers.

File you nails. After you have then all at the same length then you will want to file your nails so that they don’t scratch. You will notice that there are many kinds of files out there and you will want the one with multi uses that allows you to file, define and shine your nails. There are also files that have the steps to perfect filing on them, and you can find these in most drug stores.

After cleaning and filing your nails, paint them with the color you have chosen. When the first layer has dried, apply the second layer. When both layers of color have dried, then add a clear glaze over the top to protect the color.

Bangs make up a small part of our hairstyle but can change our look completely.

The first thing to consider about bangs is that when you go to the hair salon you need to talk with your stylist about what sort of bangs are best for you, as there are many different styles and lengths. For example, if you have a large forehead then you might want bangs with lots of volume which will bring balance to your features.

Take a look at Cristina Ricci with and without bangs. Which is better? For sure the photo where she has bangs.  The actress has too much forehead and the bangs cover this up a bit.

Bangs are good for masking things we want covered up. If you have a acne, you can use your bangs to cover up the blemishes on your forehead. You can’t get rid of zits, but you can mask them.

Girls with curly hair can also have bangs. If you have curly hair and straight bangs it makes for an interesting contrast, and a cool look.

Most importantly when you go to the hair dresser make sure you know what you want. You could even bring with your a photo of a model or actress that has the style you like to show the hairdresser. It is also important to ask the stylist which sort of bangs would work best for you face. Tell him or her what you want and then let them give you some advice.

Curly Hair!

Last week we gave you some tips on how to straighten you hair, and this week we have some advice for those who prefer curly hair.

Many girls have curly or wavy hair and hate it because they feel like their hair is out of control. But, if you use the right products curly hair can be gorgeous.

Curly hair is usually really dry and that’s why when there is a lot of humidity in the air curly hair can get frizzy. Also, curly hair is less shiny than straight hair because its spiral form doesn’t allow light to reflect upon it in the same way that straight hair does.

Now the good part. Curly hair has lots of personality and you can do lots of fun styles. There are lots of ways to wear curly hair up, so that it has less volume on rainy days.

The perfect length for curly hair is just below the shoulder so that it can be worn up or down. Be careful if you cut your hair short. It may look good when wet, but when it dries out the result could be frightening.

Those with curls should use a special shampoo for hydration as well as a hydrating conditioner which will soften it and give it shine. To brush curly hair use your fingers or a pick. If your hair loses shape after taking a nap, wet it and add a bit of mouse giving it shape with your fingers.

You might need to use tools that require adult supervision, such as glue gun and scissors. If so, these can be replaced by textile glue and safety scissors. Make sure you ask your parents some help.

Making a colored salt jar is easy and beautiful.

To make colored salt jars you will need- colored dyes, salt, newspaper, empty yogurt cups or egg cartons, and some clear glass jars.

First, spread the newspaper over the table to avoid a mess. Put a bit of salt on the newspaper and dye it with one color. Watch how well it takes the color. Once it is dyed, put it in one of the yogurt cups.

Do this with several different colors changing the newspaper each time so not to mix colors.  Put each color in a different yogurt cup.

Now it’s time to put the colored salt in the jar. Pouring in one color at a time, make layers until the jar is full.

Make sure the jar is very full and then close it so that the salts won’t move. You can’t use these salts in the bath or for cooking, and once you have dyed them and closed the lid, they are only good for decoration.
