Warm Parathas with Garam Chai

Breakfast at the Ghumans

Today the hubby was home and I had the energy this morning to make a topically Punjabi breakfast. Usually we just have a coffee or chai, fruit, eggs, and or something else. With our busy and constantly changing schedule we do not have time to sit down and eat. So this morning was perfect!

I started off making the dough in our kitchen aid mixer... (absolutely love it! No more kneading the dough by hand!) than on the side I scrambled eggs with our Indian spices: salt, pepper, garam masala, ginger power, cumin seed, and red pepper power. I took out my waffle maker to make the eggs... this is a great alternative that me and my husband love! You pour the eggs on the waffle maker and close it && within seconds it's DONE!

 

So after the eggs were done, I started making the parathas. You will need plain flour, oil (of your choice, I like olive oil or grape seed oil), and salt.

• Make small round dough balls, then you roll them out until they are thin.
• Pour oil and salt in the middle. Spread the mix with your figure over the entire dough.
• Fold the sides of the round dough, so they are over lapping one another
• Than do the same thing again with the remained sides... It should be a square now!
• Now you place it on a hot griddle. Cook both sides until its golden brown... Wa La !

Now since this blog is about skin. I have to say this can be a heavy and oily breakfast. BUT you can substitute ingredients to make it healthy. Like use whole wheat dough, do not use too much salt, use a healthier oil & not use too much.

We usually eat it with homemade yogurt on the side and chai... There you go. That was our breakfast this morning.

Length Does Matter

Long Lashes

Over the years of wearing lashes for photo shoots and parties,  my lashes have gotten thin and not as thick. Being a naive young adult, I would pull off the fake lashes. Yes, I know that was really stupid. But in my defense... I was too sleepy and wanted then off! 

Working in the beauty field, I get to try alot of products and services. I been meaning to try Latisse but never really thought I needed or can committee to the routine. After seeing my thin and not so thick lashes in a picture it was time to give Latisse a try. 

We sell Latisse at Astoria Med spa. I use it every other night. I wet the applicator that comes with it and apply 1 drop of the solution to the applicator. Also I alternative which I eye apply first. 

I been using it for couple of weeks and I already see the difference!  I love it! 

Wearing fake lashes once in awhile is perfectly fine... but you have to know how to remove them!! Use eye makeup remove to soften the glue or baby oil. It does only take 1 minute. 

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to make an appointment with me, Supreet,  at Astoria Laser Clinic. 

This Little Piggy when to the market… This little Piggy got Laser done!

Laser Toe Fungus

I know this is not a really exciting topic, but did you know 25 million Americans have Onychomycosis; Toenail Fungus. Toenails become thick and turn yellow or blue and black. This ugly discoloration can be prone to swimmer, athletes, and walking barefoot in public areas. Some can be genetically prone to getting the infection too. Ladies usually get it from unsanitary Nail shops.

Total Diva star, Jay Uso, gets toe fungus from an injury while wrestling. His girlfriend, Trinity, get the fungus too because it is contagious. Yup. It is contagious. And yes it can be caused by an injury. 

 

It used to be you go to the doctor and get a prescription for the infection. Most of the medication are harsh to the liver, require blood work, and frequency doctor follow ups. Plus for people that have other health issues, they are unable to take the medication because of contradiction. Not to mention, the prescription are usually ineffective.

With new technology, Doctors and med spas are offering an alternative treatment. Laser Toenail Fungus. It is a quick 10 minute treatment. Depending on the severity of the fungus, it can take couple of sessions before the fungus is completely removed. It is a painless treatment and there’s no side-effectives. Post treatment is easy too… Simply stay away from area that could inhabit fungus.

[Keep in mind FDA hasn’t approved this treatment so it is being used as a “off label” treatment.]

There is no published evidence of efficacy, we just know it works! Doctors don’t fully understand how the laser affect the fungus. I believe the laser deliveries heat to the fungus causing the fungus to burn off.  Some say the laser heats the fungus cause the body’s natural defense to clear the fungus. Either way, the treatment is a great alternative to the medication to Onychomycosis.

Now ladies don’t cover it with nail polish… Get it treated! We offer this treatment at Astoria Med Spa.
