Say Goodbye to Sweat Patches

Always wondered how to get rid of those ugly yellowish sweat patches/stains?
Sweat Patches are mainly caused by the presence of bacteria in your sweat or the presence of  aluminium salts in your antiperspirant, among various other reasons.

These sweat patches can be avoided by including a lot of liquid in your diet and avoiding deodorants with high content of Aluminum salts etc.

Well, here's a very easy remedy.
All that you would require are

• a toothbrush
•  baking soda 
• water.

In a cup, dilute 4 tbsp of baking soda with 1/4 cup water. With the toothbrush, rub the mixture on the stain and let it air dry for half an hour to an hour.
After that, wash the clothes as usual.

You will not believe it but your sweat patches will disappear.

NOTE:
Baking Soda and Baking Powder is not the same. Make sure that you use BAKING SODA!
Baking Soda in general is really good for washing clothes, especially your precious whites.
Baking Soda can be used for neutralizing acid, removing crayon stains and odor, cleaning the washing machine and can be even used as a fabric softener.

The Icing On The Cake

What's a cake without an icing? It's like candy without sugar. So for all you lazy people out there who don't want to break a sweat, here's a chocolate cake icing recipe.

What you need:
1 stick unsalted butter
1 tin sweetened condensed milk
1 tin evaporated milk
3 tbsp cocoa powder
non-stick saucepan
wooden spatula

And it goes like this:
1) Heat the saucepan over low-medium heat and melt the butter
2) Once the butter is completely melted, pour the rest of the ingredients.
3) Keep on stirring continuously until everything is completely mixed.
4) Eventually, the mixture will start to thicken.
5) Once it begins to thicken, take it off the flame and evenly spread it over the cake.

Ta-da!you're done!

Cooking notes:
* Evaporated milk-5 fl.oz.
* Condensed milk 396g
* Cocoa powder can be substituted with drinking chocolate or hot cocoa powder.
* Make sure that you keep stirring the mixture continuously or you'll end up with clumpy icing.
* The mixture should be sticky and thick enough that when you run the spatula through the mixture, we should be able to see the bottom of the pan.
* When the mixture is thick, pour it over the cake pronto!

The end result:

DIY #1: Butterflies on the wall

What is not to love about Gossip Girl? The clothes, accessories, never-ending drama of the upper-east side, glitzy parties...and Serena's room decor. 

So we totally loved the Butterflies on her Wall and took it up as a DIY project. The end result is this:

All it took was 2 hours of work, brown craft papers, a pair of scissors and super adhesive glue and voila it was done!

Here's a gist of how we made it:

1) We cut out the craft paper in the form of butterflies in 3 different shapes, small, medium and large. 

2) We placed the medium and small "butterflies" in the focal of the "art" in concentric circles.

3) We randomly scattered the rest of the butterflies in such a manner that it looks like the butterflies are flying away from the focal point.

4) Notice that the whole "art" is oval.

Hope you guys like it! 

P.S.: This is one of our first D-I-Y projects and it's suitable for beginners.

Peek-a-boo..who is there?It's KIIINNGG!!!

He's adorable, cute, cuddly, naughty, messy...and life just would not be the same if it weren't for him... Oh, He refers to our four-legged pet-King.

We got the little Labrador when he was 29 days old. He will be turning 3 months this April.

He loves to eat and sleep. He is quiet irritating at times but at the end of the day he is our sweet little muchkin!

He is a very playful puppy and all the kids in the neighborhood love to play with him. He is a very social person :P as he loves meeting new people and gets along with anyone. He is quiet a drama queen who just loves attention.


Oh yeah, the beanbag is his "crib". He is possessive of it and doesn't like anyone coming anywhere in its vicinity.
