Pizza cupcakes




I usually post about beauty-related things, but this is a tryout as well. I think it's really awesome and I want to write about it!

A while ago I saw a post on 9GAG about pizzacupcakes, I loved it, and really wanted to make some of those one day. And now I did. I googled around and found this blog and used it as my recipe. http://reallyfrompinterest.blogspot.nl/2012/04/cupcake-mold-pizzas.html

This is what I have used for 5 cupcakes. (Well, 5 and a half..)
- Half a jar croissant dough
- Half an onion
- Half a tomato
- Shredded cheese
- Some mozarella
- Garlic
- Butter
Note: I havn't used the butter in the end, and it turned out fine, they got out of the griddle very easily without the extra grease.


I will tell you step by step how I did this :)
As you will see, I did not use any herbs, of course you may add whatever you want, like tiny pepperonis the original recipe had.
Let me know if you tried it, would be nice to know!

Off we go!

My ingredients. The big thing is my shredded cheese, I always
have it in the freezer just in case I'd need some! 

This is what the croissant-dough looks like.
I picked this one because of the crispyness, of course,
if you like normal pizza dough better, it will work out just fine!

I tried getting it into the griddle as good as possible.
Got everything covered.

Put it in the oven to pre-bake for 10minutes on 200 degrees.

When they came out I got a little bit worried, haha!
But if they get out like this, they can still be saved!

See! I pushed everything to the sides a bit. The bottoms where
slightly thinner but it turned out fine.

Put the shredded cheese in.

Followed by onions, garlic and tomatoes.
I also tried stirring in a bit :)

And lastly, some mozzarella on top!

Put it in the oven for another 10 minutes on 200 degrees,
et voila!

Smakelijk!

Coloring eyebrows.

Since I have red hair I've hated my black eyebrows. Some people like darker eyebrows, but I REALLY don't. Especially on me. With red hair it seems incredibly unnatural. I have tried bleaching them before, but I didn't get an even color with it, and basically I had blonde/yellow eyebrows. Not the best solution either.

So after a looooot of doubting, I bought a package of normal hairdye. It is recommended to use eyebrow-dye but since it was't for sale in stores and shipping costs where higher than the actual dye, I went for normal hair-dye. Well, it wasn't the best thing I did.

Not all hairs got covered, so some of them are black now, and some of them are red. But the worst part is that it stained my skin. I have red eyebrows, with an even redder glow. I was so ashamed when I had to go out with my dog, cause I couldn't get it off in ANY way! I tried soap, shampoo, conditioner, peelinggel, nailpolishremover & even terpentine. Neither of those worked :( I read online that the ashes of a cigarette would help, fortunately (yes even when I need ashes so much I still think this is a good cause!) no one around me is a smoker.  If I would try this way of dying again, I will make sure to have some ashes near me, cause overal.. I do like the color, and how easy it was to apply!

If I ever get better results, I will update this post :-)

Before

Applying. I am laying down to avoid stuff getting into my eyes.
Should've been more precise....

The glow. Hope you can see it.

Sorry for the weird face xD
But here's the end result!
