After having red rashes on the skin using the chemical detergents and fabric softeners, I have finally decided to make my own homemade laundry detergent powder. It is super easy to make and it is actually cost-effective too. When I looked at the ingredients I thought how it is going to be cost-effective? But it is cheaper in the end when you break the whole thing down.

While I was thinking of my own which I had no idea how to get started, I came across this recipe on YouTube from Rebecca Cross. I liked it as it is borax free, all natural and safe to use. I used the ingredients which were available at my place. So instead of using Kirk's Castille soap, I used Marius Fabre Savon de Marseille

It is easy to follow 5 ingredients recipe. I had recently started using it and I didn't add any essential oils to it. The clothes are odorless but they did come out super clean. Next time I am going to add essential oils too to make them smell great. It took less than 10 minutes (you need to grate the soap) and rest just mix it and you are good to go. 

Diwali is one the biggest festival that is celebrated in India. It is a festival of lights and time to be together with your family and friends. 

And what I love most about festivals is to create and craft decorations next to delicious food. 

And it is the same story with Christmas celebration. Thus I combined both the festivals as I can use some of the Diwali decoration for the upcoming Christmas.

I had come across these crafts on Youtube. It was such a fun making them. You can also try making them as the link to the tutorial is attached. Enjoy!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It is so different than any other holidays. Which holiday is your favorite? I love that spookiness and creepiness about that day. Whichever holiday you love, it is incomplete without a party and delicious food. 

These food ideas are delicious and at the same time so frightening that you will think twice while eating it! Happy Cooking! Let's go through the list.
