Happy New Year

Happy (belated) New Year everyone! I've been totally MIA because I was finishing up school in London and then I was in China, where blogging is not allowed :(

Anyway, to start off the New Year I've created a twitter https://twitter.com/#!/thriftyglamour.
Hopefully people will be interested in things that I tweet!

For now, take a look at this Michelle Phan video for a seaweed facial. I tried it at home and my skin
felt super soft and cool afterward.

Steak Marinade

I made a really yummy steak marinade the other night with all the sauces in my cupboard. I had no idea mixing everything would go so well, but it really did!

I based the marinade off of this recipe from food network but nixed the chili peppers and lemongrass- I just used lemon juice instead.

The mixture included a table spoon on soy sauce, a tsp of lemon juice, a tsp of cooking red wine, a little bit of white wine vinegar, a tiny drop of oyster sauce, salt, pepper, sauteed garlic and onions. Voila!

Ate the steak with Asian-style scrambled eggs, tomatoes and peas, and some brown rice.

For the Ghetto Chic

Take a look at this Michelle Phan video for DIY Makeup Remover. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a smart idea.
