DIY Starry Wall

My obsession with stars and DIY just keep getting better and better! This idea is original and I have been trying to do this to my room since forever. Finally i got the time to get this DIY done and now its time to share it with you guys!


 If you like what you see then stay tuned!

For this DIY all you need is:
  • Card stock paper 
  • Scissors 
  • LED lights
  • Some duck tape (optional) 


Yup. Thats all you need :p 
For starters, cut out a star shape. You can do a hand drawing or get a picture from google. Cut two different size stars from a cardboard like ones shown below.


Trace the stars on black cardboard and cut them out.




Now draw lines from one tip of the star to the other as shown below:




Once you're done it should look something like this: 


Now with your scissors lightly slice through the lines.  As you move down you'll see the line disappearing. We are not trying to cut the star, just lightly pressing down on the lines as follow: 



Once you are done, fold the largest crease up wards as follow:





And you have your star!!


Cut out as many as you like!


Now is the fun part! Hang your lights on the wall and just tape the stars on them! Then turn the Led lights on and see your wall shine! 



Rest is on you! Sky is the limit!

Banana Nice-Cream!


For them sugar cravings! 

Ever since I have started my fitness journey, I have tried a lot of different recipes and fitness routines. I have experimented with low Carb diets, low fat high Carb vegan diets, vegetarian recipes, and many healthy non veg options.
I decided to turn away from unhealthy options and start making the right choices. However, since I am only human, sometimes I do have craving for chocolate ice-creams with crushed Oreas in it. In order to satisfy my craving i decided to try something new and boy did I love it!  
So here is the recipe for vegan chocolate Nice-cream! And the best part is you only need few ingredients for this and it only takes a few minutes to prepare!


Things you'll need: 
  • 7 Frozen bananas 
  • 1 Ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
  • Brown/ Icing sugar (optional)

Its pretty simple! All you have to do is gather your ingredients and mix them in a blender or a food processor! Blending the frozen bananas might be a little hard. Use a spoon as needed. Mix in sugar as preferred. If the mixture is a little runny, leave it in the freezer for 15 mins. I prefer mine a little soft instead of completely frozen.
Decorate it with sprinkles or nuts or mix in some oreas! and your good to go!
Now this isn't your typical chocolate ice cream, high on fat, sugar, and calories. Instead it is a great substitute and it tastes delicious!


The best part about this one ingredient recipe is that you can mix and match. You can personalize it however you want! Put in some peanut butter instead of cocoa powder and you have peanut butter nice-cream.


Add in some frozen berries and you have mixed flavor snack! use cinnamon as a sugar substitute. Do whatever you like!

Be creative! Be original!




Sky is the limit!

Jar Of Hope DIY

Happy thoughts! 

It's the small things that matters the most. Atleast for me. And i have a craze for doing small little DIY's that add color to my room and my lfe ^.^ Do you want a little rainbow in your room as well? A colorful jar full of happy and positive thoughts? Are you also looking for a good way of wishing yourself a good morning? Well then stay tuned. This DIY is for you! :) Simple and cute!


Things you'll need: 


  • coloured paper
  • scissors
  • cardboard 
  • glue
  • wool/ rope
  • mason jar ( or any jar )
  • color markers or color pencils 
Alright, lets start with making the tag. Draw a tag shape on your cardboard and cut it out. I used a tag from one of my shirts. You can draw it free hand or just google a tag pic and use that. Whatever is easier for you. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just what you like. 


 You can leave the tag as it is. I covered mine with colored paper. Name your jar based on your theme! I named mine "jar of hope"


Now tie your tag to your jar! I was going to used the wool but i found this elastic gold wire. So i used that instead.


  Alright, now grab your paper and write down your favourite quotes and cut them out!


Grab a pencil or a pen and roll your quote around it. Then tie a knot with the wool/ thread. Double the knot to secure it. Now remember to keep you thread loop big enough to be able to take the quote/ paper roll out and put it back in without scrunhing the paper, if that makes any sense :P 




 That's it! Simple! Follow the same steps and make as many quotes paper as you want.


Fill all of them into your jar and that's it! Your Done! Now you have Jar full of happy thought's to wake up to. Grab and read one thought out of the jar everyday before leaving home and have a good mood for the rest of the day. Smile! because you deserve to! I don't know about you, but it works for me. So here is a little something to inspire you too. 


 Make a jar of hope, or make a "to do list" jar! Create whatever you feel like! As i say 
Sky is the limit!
