DIY: 10 Back to School Arts & Crafts for Organization

When we start school, everything is perfectly organized but then when we are almost at the end of a semester everything is a mess!

I start my year with a pretty organized pencil case and then by the end there are highlighter stains on it... most pens are missing... I lose things and can't find them... I get in trouble at school for losing copies and what not!

This happened to me A LOT in my 7th grade but I learnt some things on my high school journey!
So here are some cute easy-to-make DIYs...

---

Just click each the link to check out the full DIY :)

1) Drawer Dividers



To keep things separate in categories... this is your friend :)
All you need is cardboard for this and it literally takes minutes to make it! You can even decorate and glue the dividers with some pretty paper or tape.
 
2) Faux Storage Books



These books look SO cute on a shelf. It does the 2in1 job: Its a decorative piece for your bedroom AND it stores things! How cool is that!
This is made out of cardboard too so you don't need any fancy materials except decorative paper. But they are really inexpensive.
 
3) Cardboard Drawers



You can build a small drawer and put it on your dressing table to store things like bobby pins… brushes… hair bands etc 
OR you can store stationary items and put it on your study table.
 
4) Drawer Cart Up-do



If you have a drawer cart like this and you want it prettify (its actually a real word) it then all you need it glue and decorative paper!!
 
5) Key Holder



During my high school years I have lost countless keys literally and I hated it!! 
Then I made this thing with a photo frame and decorative pieces and some hooks. 
You can print a quote and stick it on with glue. It did make a difference to be honest.
Instead of the faux roses, you can use ribbons and bows or anything you want
I am sorry I don’t have a full DIY link but I hoep you’ll get the basic idea from the picture above!!

Here’s another option for making a key holder above.
 
6) School make-up clutch / Pencil Case



This cute and small clutch is perfect if you don’t have a lot of space in your bag and you still want to carry a little make-up.
In my high school, when the bell rang for lunch all the girls would run to the bathroom to blot their make up. 
Some girls would even use their lipsticks to write on the toilet doors!! It was terrible!!
 
7) Organize Hair Scrunchies



Don’t you just hate it when you lose them during emergency bad-hair days.
Well you can make it small enough to fit it in your bag or the clutch shown above. It looks really chic and cute and it is SO inexpensive.
Choose you own ribbons or you can even personalize it


8) Cute Pen Holder



The picture above shows forks stored in the can because it is supposed to be for birthday parties BUT you can use the same thing to store pens!! Who said you can’t be creative with it!!
You can put it in your locker for those days when you lose all your pens which happened a LOT with me!!
Or you can put it on your study table and store your stationary.

You can also check out my version of a pen holder. All you  need is lollipop sticks and glue. Full DIY HERE.

9) Labelled Cardboard Drawers

All you need is pretty paper and a shoe box!! You can put them in your wardrobe for scarves/ gloves or any other accessories.

10) Button Bookmarks

This is my favourite DIY of all just because it is SO easy, inexpensive and the cutest!!

I don’t think you guys would even need to see the steps on how to make this cute bookmark!! But I still linked it just to give some credit to the website where this genius idea was born!!

DIY: How to Reduce Hair Fall Naturally, Grow Hair and Get Shiny Hair

The secret to reducing hair fall and giving a growth boost to your hair is Fenugreek Seeds. I know its like where am I supposed to find this but don’t worry you can easily find them in any Asian grocery stores.
Fenugreek is a herb that comes from India where they call it Methi. This herb is widely used in Indian delicacies. Not only it reduces hair fall but it also strengthens and hydrates them. And if you have dandruff as well, this is the way to go.
Basically these little yellow seeds were Rapunzel’s secret too Read more to learn how to make a Methi Mask…

I have two ways of making this Methi Mask so stay tuned for them!!

1) Methi & Coconut oil

• Take 1/4 of a cup of the Methi seeds and grind them into powder.
• Warm up enough coconut oil to make a paste. This will turn the oil into a liquid.
• Add the Methi powder in the coconut oil and mix it well.
• Apply this mask on the scalp and hair and massage it in for 2 mins.
• Leave the mask on for at least 2 hours or more. You can also leave it on overnight!

Of course you can use any other hair oil like Olive oil or Almond oil but I found this is the best option. Another easiest option would be plain Yoghurt. They are all effective!!
Instead of grinding them you can also soak the seeds in water overnight. And in the morning, you can ground them into a fine paste.

2) Methi & Water

I have a video linked below to show the procedure of this second recipe: 

Nowadays life has become very stressful for people. We either have the overloaded work or no job at all. Whatever the situation, the stress is the main reason why the hair falls.

So why not try out this remedy. The best thing about this is that its very cheap and it gives a lot to your hair to flourish.

This has become my new hair secret!

Is it going to be your next secret?

7 Ancient Chinese Beauty Secrets

First of all I LOVE China. Their culture, traditions, food and the list goes on. I am really into Chinese skin/body treatments like Acupressure Points for Beautiful Skin. Its so fascinating. After reading their secrets I feel like I knew NOTHING. Ever wondered why their hair is so straight? I heard its because they eat a lot of sea food. I could be wrong but its just something I heard. I totally love their hair <3 .="." p="p">So keep reading to find out more secrets...

1.   A chinese doctor explains that having unhealthy skin could be a cause of bad liver condition. Liver detoxifies our blood so it keeps the blood clean. If livers dont work properly, the blood becomes full of toxins which causes unhealthy skin problems. So once a week we should take the detoxifying drinks which cleanse the liver thoroughly. I will do a separate post on making these drinks. I have tried them so I know :) Also avoid taking alcohol and processed junkie foods.

2.   Chinese people have some herbs which help their bodies adapt to stress, improve immune system, boost immune system, protect from some cancers, regenerates liver, oxygenates blood, calms the mind and balances blood sugar. Wow that was a huge list. These herbs are called Adaptogens. Reishi mushrooms is an example and it is the most powerful of all Adaptogens. Schizandra is another one that keeps the youth of your skin preserved.

3.   Chinese women used Pearl Powder which is made from oyster shells. These shells contain lots of amino acids which rejuvenate the skin. In clinical research pearl powder has been shown to soothe inflammation, promote healing and and calm redness and skin irritations. They mix 1 tbsp pearl powder with 1 egg yolk and 1 tbsp honey.

4.   You know why they drink lots of green, white and oolong tea? Its because they help in weight loss and keep your skin younger :)

5.   I have always wondered how their skin is so fair and whiter than the rest Asians. And their secret lies in mint leaves. These are cheap to buy as far as I know. You can even grow them in your house. You can grind  the mint leaves and make a paste. Apply it as a face mask and brighten your complexion.

6.   An ancient Chinese princess had a secret beauty weapon called Tremella. It is a snow fungus/mushroom. It is an excellent skin conditioning agent, has lots of antioxidants and contains high level of Vitamin D.

7. Ok this tip is a little different. I read this article where a woman goes China and she sees a man on a market stall selling tins of snake oils and tiger balms and other creams for less than a dollar. And many grandmas were buying them :/ I could be wrong about this article I don't know. But I am just sharing what I read in it.

8. I love the way they use a lot of Rice because it is very nutritious. And especially I love the idea where they use rice as facial toners. Check out this video of Michelle Phan below to make your own toner. It is absolutely amazing.

So please let me know your opinions and if you would adapt any of these tips.
