24 Sep , 2013  

Salmon Garlic Dill

On Saturday it was one of those days when I just woke up with the urge to do something nice for my husband and surprise him.  He went over to his parents to help them and it was then when I went grocery shopping and I planned the whole thing.

He loves fish, and salmon in particular, and that’s why I decided to try an old recipe my mom used to make. Although it sounds fancy – it is very easy, don’t worry! More…

Natural Ways To Deodorize a Fridge

Natural Ways To Deodorize a Fridge

I am not a great fan of cleaning, as most of you already know, but one chore I loathe in particular, and that would be cleaning the fridge. I mean, you have to take out all the food and then take the shelves, wash them up, put them back and rearrange all the food back. The shelves and the corners of the fridge are awkward to wash as well,  and it seems that the typical fridge odor comes back sooner than expected. Well, here are a few tips that might help you – most of them I am sharing from experience!

Four Amazing Homemade Beauty Products

1 Aug , 2013  

DIY Beauty Products

For quite some time I was thinking about all the horrible things large beauty industries put in our cosmetics and I was frankly put off the idea of paying for these. In addition, very often the products we buy from supermarkets are tested on animals and don’t get me started on how I loathe animal testing. Here is another fun fact for you, the majority of products contain parabens, which are found in a large percentage of the breast cancer tissue. Now, why on earth would I want that?

What Do You Need To Know About Knitting

29 Jul , 2013  

All About Knitting For Beginners

As Tsuyoshi Ito once said: “No matter how advanced technologically becomes, there is always going to be someone who wants to learn how to knit!” The truth is God created us to work with our hands and we have talents, imagination, inspiration and ability todevelop skills in order to get crafty and get working. When we knit and work with our hands, they are doing all the “thinking” and the mind is at peace. This is one reason why knitting is so beneficial for us.  More…

The Art of Decoupage

20 Jul , 2013  

Decoupage

Translated from French, “decoupage” means “to cut out”,  and the art of decoupage is consistent in the “the decoration of the surface of an object with paper cut-outs.” This process gives the cut-outs an appearance of depth and an impression that the pattern is actually painted on the object. Decoupage is a really funny way to decorate almost any object you can come up with. This art is mainly used on objects like small boxes, plates, vases, or candles. Nowadays, though, it is increasingly applied on furniture too, such as coffee tables, cabinets and even fridges etc. You can freshen up old furniture and mask scratches and signs of wear&tear.

Getting Married Young in a Culture That Says: “No Way in Hell!” II

2 Jul , 2013  

Getting married young

Getting married young nowadays seems like a crazy thing to do, keeping in mind the options we have. However, sometimes, I believe, this great variety of so called “options”, limits us.  Relationships comes and go, intimate partners change, but we remain the same and expect different results from every new relationship that comes along. In addition, being alone doesn’t mean that you are free! That being said, I believe marriage provides us a larger platform for positive change and a stable foundation to grow!  More…
