You Should Experience This Father's Day Game at Least Once in Your Lifetime and Here's Why

Take a break from the constant screen-time and try activities or games at social gatherings to interact with friends.

For Father's Day celebration this year, we had planned both husband and wife take part in this funny and yet romantic game for couples. You had to try this game once maybe in your birthday celebration or any occasion related. It takes almost no preparation and I personally think it's the best tricks to add fun to romantic moments.

It's the Spouse Makeover game or better yet put-makeup-on-your-husband game. Some of us ladies are expert in putting up makeup right? Try it in blindfold?!! It's funny cause you'll be doing it with your eyes closed and romantic as well cause there'll be a lot caressing on your spouse's facial features.

And the results is quite awesome actually....


All the daddies are lucky this year. We even handmade our own bouquet of gifts for them.
Proud ladies with their handmade bouquet of either flowers, chocolates or men's product for the husbands.
Proud husbands as well, as their makeup are done by their loving wives. Maybe next time we should try a game where husbands try to put makeup on their wives in exchange.


A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.

Happy Father's Day!

Reasons You Should Love Brownie in a Mug



It's a fast paced world we living nowadays. Everything's in a hurry. If you are a sweet tooth like me, baking a cake could drain you from all the measuring and cleaning afterwards. That's why this brownie in a mug recipe is perfect for those who's craving for their daily dose of sweet treat but is in a rush.

Elise Bauer of Simply Recipes shows how to make a single serving brownies in a mug, in just 5 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup flour (30 g)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (50 g)
  • 2 Tbsp (13 g) cocoa (natural, unsweetened)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Tiny pinch of cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup water (60 ml)
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil or vegetable oil (NOT extra virgin olive oil, it's too strongly flavored)
  • 1 to 2 drops vanilla extract
  • 1 small scoop of ice cream or 1 or 2 teaspoons heavy whipping cream to serve.

INsTRUCTION

1. Place flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, and cinnamon in a microwave safe ceramic mug. Stir with a fork or spoon to mix well and break up any clumps.
2. Add the oil, water, and vanilla to the cup and stir until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.



3. Place in microwave and heat on high until the mixture is cooked through, about a 1 minute and 40 seconds for a 1000 watt microwave. You may have to experiment and adjust the time for less or more powerful microwaves. If you don't know the power level on your microwave, start with 60 seconds and increase until the brownie is done. It should still be moist when cooked through, not dry.


4. Let cool for a minute and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a teaspoon or two of whipping cream poured over.
