Keeping it Light & Fit!

Hello Ladies!

For many people we meet these days eating healthy is a habit, these are people from our office, we go for meetings or just friends. We see a lot of people who are introducing eating healthy in their daily lives.

I had lost few kgs in a span of two months. I followed simple tricks that help me in my daily routine to keep me hydrated and keeping my hunger pangs in control.

I’ll share what I do on daily basis:

I start my day at 6 in the morning and hit the kitchen. With all my cooking going on I stretch a bit and drink one big glass of warm water with lemon & ginger (you may add honey, personally I’m not a fan of honey)

By 8:45 I reach office, and there I have my breakfast. I usually eat 2 eggs omelet cooked with onion, tomatoes and mushrooms and ghee or olive oil and have a cup of milk coffee.

Then by 10:30 or 11:00 I drink one cup of green tea. Green tea helped me with my bloating issues I used to face. It releases all the gas in my body which, trust me is such a relief.

Then by 1: 30 I eat my home cooked lunch. It usually has one vegetable 2 chapatis and very little portion of rice.

At 3:00, I drink one green tea again followed by my bowl full of fruits. I eat all the seasonal fruits. At this time of the year I get apples, bananas, plums, grapes, strawberries, blueberries and kiwi. Some good days I bring avocados.

In between if I like, I eat one piece of mathri or biscuit. But I like to keep it to only one piece, followed by one cup milk coffee.

Then by 7:30 we do our dinner. We are early eaters and sleepers. It just helps us to wake up fresh the next morning.

I have been following this routine since past month and I must say I feel lighter, not in terms of weight, but the overall healthy feeling.

Since mine is a desk job, I keep visiting the washroom often to stretch my arms and back. It just helps in the blood circulation of the body which keeps me fresh throughout.

After all, not everything is about the weight, sometimes it’s about feeling happy and fit.

DIY Aluminium Foil Frame

Hello everyone!

I can’t emphasis enough how much we all ladies love to decorate our homes and what better than making something yourself and grabbing all the attention and appreciation.

So, I’m back with a tutorial this time. Today I will be showing you how you can use home aluminum foil and transform it into a master piece made by you.

Things you need:

·         Home Aluminum foil

·         Black chart sheet

·         A pair of scissors

·         Stick glue

·         A big frame (you may use reuse an old one available at your home)

So, let’s start:

First, take a long piece of the foil and cut it using the cutter available with the packing. Start folding it inside and outside, each fold should be at least an inch thick.

Using a pencil, start drawing leaf shapes on the foil close to each other. Utilize the full sheet as much as you can. The leaf shape doesn’t need to be exact same.

Then cut the leaves. Separate the leaves from each other. You have reached half way.

You need to cut the craft sheet to the size of the frame, to achieve best result, use the back-cardboard of the frame to draw lines on the sheet and cut it into the exact same size.

Now on the black chart sheet, using a pencil put some dots from where you wish to start your art work and where you want to finish. Using the same foil cut a small circle shape for the center of the flower.

Now we will start putting the leaves on the chart sheet using the glue stick. Do not worry if the foil gets crumbled. First paste the circle a little towards the end, and then paste the leaves around it. You can stop where ever you like. I personally liked half sheet filled and rest blank black.

Once you finish pasting the leaves let it dry for at least an hour. After it dries, put the craft sheet in the frame, and you have your hand made master piece done.

You can put in in any room of your choice on a plain wall. Hope you liked the idea and it inspired you to do something creative.

P.S. You can use any other colored sheet or gift wrapping paper instead of the aluminum foil.
