Self-Care with Natural ingredients

Image
  Our grandmothers have been making home remedies using herbs to maintain their beauty for centuries. Many people still believe in home remedies and I also believe that they are the best.     They have no side effects.   Today, I will share a homemade facial that you can make at home with natural ingredients. I will share a mask with you. The mixture of gram flour (which is a mixture of chickpeas flour, turmeric powder and Almon oil) combined with milk is used as a beauty treatment. It is also centuries old which is known in Pakistan / India as a bridal ubtan (mask). It is applied on the bride's face and body on the wedding day, and it is believed that "after applying this mask when the bride's make-up is done, her beauty is further enhanced”. This is what my grandmother used to say.  Of course, you don't have to get married to use this mask! You can use this mask to maintain your beauty on normal days. It will not only help you with beautiful bright skin but also take

  It has been cloudy since this morning and the cold has suddenly increased. I finished my daily routine today, then prepared lunch. After dinner, when I finished my afternoon prayers, I saw my daughter lighting candles in the living room.     She was watching cartoons and drawing along.     Cartoons are for children, but they are so interesting that I also watch them with great interest. I often watch them with my daughter. This afternoon I sat with my daughter and watched cartoons with her for a long time,     I did not see the time pass by. It was almost supper time. I watched TV for almost three hours.   Today I will share with you a recipe called “    Palak    Chana Dal ” Spinach Bengal Gram  .

Palak Dal is a very delicious, healthy and very popular side dish in Pakistan/India that can be served with boiled rice or roti. Both ingredients spinach and Bengal Gram are loaded with nutrients, including vitamin

  On Saturday, my daughter and her friends participated in a pop up event. They rented a hall downtown and each girl took one table to put their products for sale. The girls made many things like candles, handmade jewelry, cakes and pastries. My daughter prepared many cookies and brownie. That event was a success for her even if it was a rainy day because she sold all of her cookies and brownies. On Saturday, after finishing my routine housework I went with my husband and daughters to support my daughter during this event. We bought some products from other girls and we took some pictures.    I will share some pictures of this event with you. We should encourage small businesses by going to these types of events.

Bake the Chicken wings in the oven

Today was a beautiful rainy day, as usual, I woke up early in the morning. First of all, I finished my routine house cleaning then cooked lunch after eating. I also ironed the clothes that were clean from the laundry I did late last night. These are the regular housework that I do every single day. Today I will share the chicken wings recipe that I made yesterday for supper. I don't make this often. In fact, after a very long time I decided to bake it.  These baked chicken wings are as tasty as fried ones. We can use fresh or frozen, I prefer to use fresh wings but sometimes I use frozen wings. If you are using frozen better take it out from the freezer and leave the wings in the fridge overnight. If you have an air fryer then your air fryer makes it much easy but if you don't have an air fryer no problem you can bake it in the oven.  This chicken wings recipe is so easy to make. Usually, when we order the wings at a restaurant they deep fry them, but I prefer to make the chick
