Hello hello my pretty dolls and boys!
0:15
Happy Wednesday! Welcome
0:16
back to your channel. And for those
0:19
who don't know me, hello! My name is
0:21
Wendy. And if you're not already subscribed to
0:24
this channel, I invite you to subscribe—it
0:26
's completely free! In
0:28
today's video, I'm going to teach you how to
0:34
home. You've asked me for this oil
0:36
quite a bit, and it's been about
0:41
uploaded a video for this new section
0:43
on how to make oils at home. The
0:46
thing is, I couldn't find the
0:48
right recipe, and I wanted to make an oil
0:50
that was 100% pure and organic, without any
0:54
other ingredients. So, I
0:56
finally got it, and the result
0:58
is incredible! Besides that, making this
1:02
almond oil is super easy, and it's
1:04
super good. You can use it on both your
1:07
hair and your skin. This oil is
1:10
a little expensive and also a little
1:12
hard to find, so I think this
1:14
is an amazing way to save
1:17
money, and you can make things
1:20
yourself at home. You know I
1:22
love doing that, so let's get started!
1:28
Okay For babies, and to prepare this oil,
1:34
or raw almonds, just as they are, without
1:36
artificial flavors like sugar, salt, and
1:39
things like that. You
1:41
can find these almonds in
1:44
any supermarket here in the
1:46
United States, and in other countries, you can
1:49
find them in warehouses where they sell
1:51
grains like rice, beans, and corn. The
1:54
second thing we're going to need is three
1:56
small teaspoons of warm water.
1:59
Now, what we're going to do is, in a
2:03
blender, we're going to add the two cups
2:06
of almonds. You don't have to wash them or
2:09
soak them or anything; we're going to add them
2:11
directly from the bag. The next thing we're
2:16
add the three teaspoons of
2:18
warm water. We're going to do this to make it
2:20
easier when we're grinding the
2:23
almonds, since I don't know if you're
2:25
familiar with them, but they're extremely hard. So this
2:30
process easier. And now that we've added the water
2:34
and the almonds, we're going to blend them. We're going
2:36
to do this for about 10
2:39
to 15 minutes so that they're extremely finely
2:41
ground, so that they have a dough-like texture.
2:47
very high temperature so that To make it faster, and
2:51
the way you can tell it's
2:52
ready is by touching it with
2:54
your fingers. If you feel that it
2:56
no longer has lumps or bits
2:58
of almond, it means it's ready.
3:01
Mine is ready. And as you can see, it
3:08
means the almond is well
3:15
is starting to release its
3:17
oils. I don't know if you can see what
3:19
the oils look like. This is incredible, babies,
3:22
but it's that easy. The next thing we're
3:24
going to do is transfer the
3:26
mixture to another container. I'm
3:29
using this one, and we're going to do this
3:32
to give the mixture a little time to
3:38
and make it easier to extract,
3:41
since we're doing this by hand. We're
3:44
not going to use machines or anything; it's all by hand.
3:48
difficult. If you want, you can
3:50
leave it for about 10 minutes. You don't need to
3:52
leave it for 15 or 20; it's up to you.
3:55
I leave it for this amount of time, and
3:57
honestly... It works really well for me.
3:59
Now, to extract the oils, what we'll
4:02
need is a cloth strainer
4:04
or a small cloth. We'll also
4:07
need a small strainer like this one; this
4:10
is for the final straining so
4:12
the oil is completely clean, without any
4:14
lumps or bits of anything. So
4:18
now, what we're going to do is, on a
4:20
completely clean cloth,
4:21
preferably a kitchen cloth, we're going
4:23
to start adding about two tablespoons
4:26
of the mixture. We're going to
4:28
press down quite a bit so the oil comes out. I do
4:31
n't know if you can see how
4:34
the oil is coming out. This is a little
4:37
laborious, as I said, because we
4:39
're doing it by hand, but it's really worth it. And
4:43
think you've extracted all the oil, you're going to
4:47
put the pulp in another container.
4:50
The pulp has to be extremely
4:52
dry. That's a sign that you've extracted
4:55
all the oil. And we're going to keep
4:57
doing this with the whole
5:00
mixture. I like to take
5:02
small portions, one or two teaspoons of the
5:05
mixture, because that way I feel it's
5:07
easier and I also make better use of it
5:10
all. The mixture I'm using, and if you
5:14
have strong hands, this procedure
5:16
or this step will be much easier for
5:19
you. To be honest, I find it quite difficult.
5:20
So I was looking for another
5:22
method, and for this, what we're going to do is
5:27
to our handkerchief and then
5:30
roll the corners around
5:32
the handle of the knife or this
5:37
spoon. I'm using this because they
5:39
basically have no edge, and I
5:42
'm not touching the cutting edge; I
5:43
'm only holding the top part.
5:45
So we're going to roll the two
5:48
corners as you can see in the video,
5:49
and then we're going to turn it over or
5:52
twist it. This technique... I was like, "
5:55
Wow, how does it work?" It's super
5:58
easy, your fingers don't end up hurting,
6:00
and besides that, it extracts
6:02
quite a lot of oil. As you can
6:04
see, I'm not holding the part with the cutting edge;
6:08
half of the edge sticking out. I
6:11
'm not touching it; I wouldn't cut myself because
6:13
these knives have no edge at all. But with this
6:15
other method, I'm being
6:18
very careful, but you
6:21
can use a spoon. I decided to
6:23
use this because this material
6:26
is kind of... and so on. We're going to work
6:30
with the whole mixture. You have
6:32
to try this method because it's super
6:37
my fingers don't end up hurting like they did with the other
6:39
way. So you have to try it. And
6:41
well, babies, this is all the oil that
6:44
came out of the two cups of almonds. As you
6:47
can see, it's not much, but it's
6:50
enough for about four applications. So
6:52
I'm happy with the results. And
6:54
this is the pulp. As you can see, it
6:57
feels super dry because
7:00
the oils have already been extracted. Now what I'm going to do is
7:02
give it one last strain to
7:04
make sure it doesn't have any lumps or
7:06
bits of almond so that the oil
7:08
is completely clean and looks or
7:11
feels exactly like the one we
7:23
And we're going to apply this almond oil
7:25
like any other, just like
7:27
we apply coconut oil. This is how we're going to
7:29
apply this oil, and you can also
7:31
apply this oil to your skin. It will
7:35
healthier, more beautiful skin. And well, babies, as you
7:37
can see, preparing this
7:39
almond oil is super simple. So I
7:42
hope you liked it. Leave me in
7:45
the comments what oil you'd like me to make next. I'd
7:47
like to show you how to prepare it. So I'll be
7:50
comments and I'll pick the
7:53
most requested oil. That's the one we'll have
7:55
in the next video. The
7:58
shout-outs I want to send
8:00
today are to Gabriela Padilla, Magaly
8:04
Aldara, Andrea Rosa, Carolina Guerrero, and
8:09
Daniela Villamar Morán. And well, my
8:13
pretty dolls and dolls, that's
8:15
all for today's video.
