DIY Painted Tote

Ranjani is traveling to India next week (Lucky!) and she said she has little space left in her suitcase! (unfortunately I can't fit in ). I planned to send something from my DIY collection for my Mom and MIL. Something about Fall makes me want to decorate tote bags. I found a pair of plain tote bags in my craft bag. I thought a hand painted tote would be a perfect little gift and this trendy bag will have them saying "no thanks" to plastic bags. So if you want to decorate a tote bag and go green, I am here to help you.

Tomato Facial Scrub

Do you know that tomatoes can be used as an invigorating scrub for face.It has antioxidants that protects skin from sunlight and UV rays.It also slows down aging of skin. This scrub can be prepared in no time and it gives your skin the life it needs.I am sure tomatoes are used in our kitchen almost everyday. Take 5 mins of your time to attend to your skin's need :)

Masala Paniyaram

Kuzhi Paniyaram is a popular Chettinadu dish. It's one of my favourite breakfasts. My mom does this dish very often which I miss it now and then :( I have tried my version with vegetables and spices. This paniyaram is perfect for breakfast, snack or dinner with thakkali chutney. The batter for paniyaram should be accurate or else you will not get a soft and crispy one.Lets get started :)
