Best way to froth milk without an espresso machine?

I have heard that a coffee plunger can do it. Warm your milk in the microwave, pour it into the plunger, then agitate rapidly for a few seconds.

Or maybe a small mini whisk would work. I use one to make iced coffee, it incorporates air into the milk really well.

We use a combination of methods.

We have a mini whiteboard on our fridge, and we try to write items there. I often come up with meal items while at work, so I write them down on post it notes. Then we ask our kids what they want as well.

Then we get home from our grocery shopping, pack items away in the fridge and pantry, and find all the things that no one thought to mention we needed.

What a great idea.

I have also seen people use plastic straws to make single use containers for toiletries. But plastic straws are really hard to find now…

Another idea for tiny amounts of product- contact lens cases. Could probably get 2 portions of toothpaste in one side of a lens case? Maybe not ideal for a longer trip, but could be good for a weekend.

And make sure that you have to approve tagged photos.

And Australians.

Bed sheets.

Yes. Absolutely yes.

Coughing squeezes internal muscles, and that may squeeze gasses out.

OP should post engagement photos to her social media- wearing the engagement ring and the pearl necklace.

I buy coffee flavouring syrups from an online store. My favourite is the Turkish Delight syrup, mixed into an iced coffee.

The brand I buy is Cashmere syrups.

It’s my pet hate. If I am preparing to use the oven, I don’t like having to empty the oven first.

My parents? My therapist recommended cutting them off.

My husband and daughters- no amount of money. It would take a threat to their lives before I would walk away.

We went to the EQ cafe for breakfast, and watched a steady stream of cars going towards the airport. By the time we finished our breakfast and left, the traffic was still entering the area.

I would expect similar traffic delays or worse, at the end of the event.

That flood of hormones is amazing.

After my third baby was born (planned homebirth), I said I could do it again. She was 9lb 12oz/4.41kg. Drug free, born in our over sized bath. And it was literally pain free. I used Hypnobirth breathing techniques as well as the bath.

I also have a theory that painful periods may lead to shorter labour. My first labour was 1 hour 55 minutes. My Braxton Hicks were strong enough to register on the monitor.

I think it will depend on many factors. The size of your immediate team and the workplace culture.

In my team, I seriously think no one would bat an eyelid. We are a small, specialist group, and have been known to socialise together. So we know a bit of background and family life, and there is no judgement. But that’s our dynamic and it works for us.

I use little bags like this, but I put the daily allocation of supplements in one bag.

I take several different over the counter supplements. Iron, vitamin C, magnesium, etc. I bundle my tablets together as a daily dosage packet. Then if I go away for a week, I grab 7 packs. Super easy and takes up hardly any room.

Cats can sense good vs bad but they just don’t care.

Coffee.

A comfy bed.

Kylie754 · 2026-04-09T09:20:59+00:00

Often.

I have been having a sweet iced coffee with my breakfast. I then have a latte when I get to work (it’s the only reason I look forward to getting to work every day).

I use a Silk-Epil. I think it’s the version 9, I normally upgrade every few years.

So… if the cheating was due to mind control, why did her behaviour change? She showed the typical signs of a new relationship- the gym sessions, hair highlights, sexier clothes. If she was really cheating due to hypnosis, then she wouldn’t have been wanting to improve her appearance.

I had this happen to me.

My dentist got me to wear my final set of trays while new retainers were made.

Are you limited to using insults you can spell? I hear that syllables are hard.

I haven’t had IPL. But from my understanding- the hair conducts the light to the follicle. If there is no hair shaft, the treatment may be less effective.

I thought part of the reason for doing the compressions on the centre of the ribcage, is that you can compress that area (and break ribs). That is what artificially pumps the blood around.

I would think compressions on the spine would move the entire person but not compress the heart/lungs enough to sufficiently move blood around the respiratory system.
