| How to Make a Stress Ball with Slime Posted: 12 Feb 2022 12:00 AM PST Life is stressful, and sometimes you just want to squeeze something! Stress balls and slime are both perfect ways to destress, so what would happen if you put them together? DIY slime stress balls are super simple to make and a great way to help you get out all those frustrations. Follow these instructions to learn how you can make your very own stress ball with slime. [Edit]Making Slime - Mix a of glue and of water together in a bowl. Use a fork to stir the ingredients together so that there are no clumps. This may take a few minutes.[1]
- We recommend using an Elmer's brand glue for your slime, but the type and color is up to you! Get wild and use a liquid glitter glue or a colored glue.
- If you don't have colored glue, we've got you! You can dye your glue mixture at this stage with a few drops of food coloring.
- Stir together of borax in a of warm water in a separate bowl. Mix the solution until all the borax is dissolved. The solution will be a white, opaque color.[2]
- Pour some of the borax solution slowly into your glue mixture. The slime will start to form in large clumps as you mix. When it seems like no more slime is forming, slowly add in more of the borax solution.[3]
- Stop adding the borax mixture whenever the slime reaches the consistency you want! For a softer stress ball, add less borax. For a firmer stress ball, add more borax.[4]
- Knead the glue mixture and borax solution with your hands. Squish the slime together and fold in more of the borax solution if you need to. Your slime is done whenever you feel like it's the perfect consistency.[5]
- For a clear slime, use clear Elmer's glue and let the slime sit overnight.[6]
[Edit]Turning Slime into a Stress Ball - Fill a balloon with slime using a funnel. Wrap a party or water balloon around the end of a funnel, making sure it won't slide off—you can use some tape to secure it if needed.[7]
- If you don't have a funnel, no worries! You can easily make one with the top of a water bottle. Simply cut around a water bottle about from the top.
- If you used glitter or colored glue to make your slime, we suggest using a clear balloon so you can see the fun!
- Squish the slime into the balloon through the funnel. This may take some wiggling. You can use a marker or the back of a pen to help push the slime down into the balloon. Just make sure not to push too hard because you don't want to puncture the balloon.[8]
- Section off the slime to make filling the balloon easier. Add one half and then the next.
- Hold onto the balloon at the funnel and knead the slime down into the balloon.
- Add a little more borax solution if your slime is too hard. Simply drip the borax solution into the funnel with the slime.
- Release any air from the balloon and tie a knot. Push out the extra air by gently squeezing the balloon—the balloon should be suctioned to the slime inside. Secure the balloon as if you were knotting a balloon you just filled with air. You may need to push some of the slime away from the balloon's top to do this.[9]
- You can cut off the tip of the knot if you prefer, but this could lead to potential leaks if the knot slips in the future.
- Wrap a fishnet around your stress ball for extra fun. Take a fishnet stocking or fabric and mold it tightly around your stress ball. Secure the fishnet in place by twisting the end of the fabric around the balloon end or wrapping and knotting a piece of string around the fishnet and balloon knot.[10]
- Adding a fishnet will make lots of bubbles of slime pop up around the balloon when you squeeze.
- Now all that's left to do is squeeze and have fun with your new DIY stress ball!

| How to Use Almond Milk Posted: 11 Feb 2022 04:00 PM PST Almond milk is made from combining ground almonds with water, and then straining it.[1] The result is a slightly sweet, milky liquid. Almond milk has been used since the Middle Ages where it was used as a beverage in place of cow's milk, which would quickly spoil. Today almond milk has become a popular choice for vegans, as it is a milk substitute that does not contain any animal products. It is also a good choice for those who are lactose intolerant, as almond milk contains no lactose. Commercially made almond milk comes in several flavors including plain, vanilla and chocolate. It also often is fortified with additional vitamins. Almond milk can be used in a variety of ways; here's how to use almond milk. [Edit]Drinks with almond milk - Drink almond milk. Almond milk can be drunk in the same way as milk. It can usually be found in 3 flavors: plain, vanilla and chocolate. The plain variety can be sweetened or unsweetened. Manufacturers recommend shaking the container of almond milk prior to drinking it as there may be some settlement at the bottom. Almond milk, in any flavor, can also be added to coffee or tea, just like normal milk or cream.
- Use almond milk in smoothies. Almond milk can be used in smoothies instead of traditional dairy products. Simply combine fruit (frozen is best) and the almond milk in a blender and pulse it until it is combined. You can adjust the amount of almond milk to make your smoothie more or less thick.[2]
- Make Indian style kesar-badaam using almond milk:
- Add a pinch of saffron (kesar) to half a cup of luke warm regular or almond milk and let it rest till you prepare the rest of the ingredients. This lets the colour and flavour infuse with the milk.
- Blanche 1-2 blanched de-seeded dry dates (add as per your taste).
- Grind these dates with one pod of green cardamom and 2-3 almonds and 2-3 cashew nuts.
- Roast 2-3 pistachio nuts and 1 almond and chop them into slivers.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups of chilled almond (badaam) milk in a blender. Add the ground ingredients and sugar (optional) and blend for few seconds.
- Add the half-cup of saffron with milk and mix.
- Garnish with slivers of roasted nuts and serve.
- Note: It is better to blend the dates alone first and then add the other ingredients, as dates may not crush up well when blended along with the milk.
[Edit]Eating with almond milk - Use almond milk in your cereal. Almond milk can be used instead of dairy or soy milk in your morning cereal. Hot or cold cereal makes no difference; almond milk lends a subtle sweetness and creaminess to cereals.
[Edit]Cooking with almond milk - Cook with almond milk. Almond milk can be substituted for cow's milk in any recipe. Use the same measurement of almond milk as regular milk in the recipe. You can bake with it, add it to soups and make sauces from it; almond milk can do almost everything that regular milk can do.[3]
[Edit]Using almond milk as a supplement - Combine almond milk with protein powder. Compared to cow's milk, almond milk is low in protein. Most varieties have about 1g of protein per 1 cup (8 oz) serving. Two percent cow's milk, however, has around 8g of protein for the same size serving. Almond milk mixes well with protein powders, making it a good choice for those who want to increase their protein intake without drinking cow's milk.
- Consume almond milk for its nutritional or dietary value. Almond milk has no saturated fat, and has roughly half the fat of 2 percent milk. There is no cholesterol in it and it is naturally high in calcium. Almond milk has 15 percent more of your daily calcium requirements compared to 1 percent milk. Homemade almond milk is an acceptable milk substitute for those who are following raw food diets.[4]
- Almond milk is best consumed within 7 to 10 days after opening. Like all dairy products, don't drink the almond milk if it is past its expiration date.[5]
[Edit]Warnings - Like all nuts and nut products, almond milk should not be fed to infants under 1 year of age and should not be used in lieu of cow's milk unless your doctor recommends it.
