DIY(Do it yourself )necklace organizer dedicated to all girls!!!

  If you are a costume jewellery junkie like me and are very frustrated to see your necklaces all tangled up when you want to quickly pick them up and wear them on the go, here is a DIY(DO IT YOURSELF) Necklace organizer for you all!
    It is a simple Diy that will leave your necklaces completely organized and will protect them for a long time from the damage and wear-out due to tangling and pulling.I am sure It'll make you feel very happy and self satisfied at the end result.
                Here are the thing that you will require
1.A wooden plank
2.Spray paint (colour of your choice)
3.J hooks (number as required,i used about 22)
4.2 stand hardware to attach the jewellery  hanger to the wall
5.Screws(6 totally) 4 short ones for screwing stand hardware to the plank and           two bigger ones for the wall
6.An electric drill to make holes on the plank and on the wall to attach the organizer to the wall
7. Inch tape
8.pencil to mark
                                                      Step 1
Take the wooden plank,measure with an inch tape and mark the desired length and breadth of the plank that you want to cut.It purely depends on the space you have on the wall to hang the organizer!Mine was 22" in length and 3'' in breadth.
                                                         Step 2
Spray- paint the plank with two or three coats on all sides ,allowing each coat to dry completely before spray painting the next coat or the next side.
Step 3
Make marks on the wood with a pencil as to how many rows and columns you need.Make sure the points are diagonal so that they are not one on top of the other in a straight vertical line, to prevent the top hook necklace from getting on the way of the hook below!
                                                       Step 4 
 Using an electric drill, make holes on the plank and screw the J hooks in the holes,using hands initially and using pliers for the last few turns ,as it will get too tight in the end.
         




                                                         Step 5
Make holes for the stand hardware and screw them to the plank

Step 6
Using the drill make holes on the wall (on pre-marked points with inch tape and pencil )and insert screws on the wall .
Step 7
Hang the organizer to the wall and hang your valuable necklaces on the organizer with pride!!!your necklaces will stay safe and happy!!

Make your Baby Diaper-rash free!!!(Dedicated to mums of babies and going-to-be mums)

                         Make your Baby Diaper-rash free!!!(Dedicated to mums of                                     babies and going-to-be mums)

Has anyone of you been facing this problem of your baby getting diaper rashes frequently and keep wondering how to get rid of the issue completely off your baby?I am sure this post will be very useful to you!
    Now-a-days many of the mothers are working moms and are forced to leave the baby in a creche or in the hands of a care taker.Most of the time you have no choice but  to use only the diapers that are available in the market leaving out the choice of using a cloth nappy.Cloth nappies need to be changed every time the baby pees or poops and can be washed  and re-used and hence it is very hygienic. But the easier ones to use and dispose are the baby diapers.I can proudly say that my son Ben,1 and half yrs old, has never gotten rashes due to diapers.The main reason is ,i never put him on diapers in the day time and use only washable cloth nappies during the day.Only in the night when i put him to bed I put him on pampers.After doing a thorough research on the best diaper to use for my baby,i decided on the pampers regular diapers.I prefer the regular ones to the pant style ones due to the ease in applying and removing them.
         This is what i do to keep away Diaper rash .....
Every night  before putting pampers on my son ,i wash his butt area with plain tap water ,dab it dry with a towel and then apply coconut oil generously to the areas(front and back) that would come in contact with the diapers and then apply the diaper.Some elders advice using baby powder ,But with my experience i realised that it is the last thing that you want to do as it might not do anything to prevent nappy rash but can even contribute to it by absorbing baby's urine and sticking to the skin,making it wet ,thereby making the skin even more prone to rashes.But the coconut oil application helps 100% to prevent rashes by providing complete moisture and the oiliness prevents the edges of the diaper from irritating the baby's skin. It can be even used as an overall body moisturiser if your baby has dry skin like mine does.You can use baby oil or even olive oil if you have them at home.I am aware that there are a lot of nappy rash creams available but i never wanted to use them constantly on my babies skin as it contains chemicals.In my opinion those creams can be used only as a treatment after the rash has come up and not as a preventive care.I feel coconut oil gives maximum moisture and prevents the elastic edges of the diaper from irritating the soft skin of the baby.Be at any time of the day, morning or evening when we go out,before putting him on the diaper,i follow this procedure and this has helped me from keeping him diaper rash free!I hope this post will be very useful for the moms and going to be mums!!!
