I bought this handmade Boho basket from Winner’s, I don’t know why but I love handmade and embroidered stuff.

If you are book lover like me (well I used to be) than library always your To-Go destination.Whitby Public Library has a huge collection of all types of books even I always borrow Urdu novels from here.

Home Made Sugar Free Gummies(Halal)

Featured My Blessed NestLeave a comment

Who doesn’t like gummies, my mom always sends me halal Chili Mili whenever someone come from Pakistan. It’s hard for us to find halal gummies other than Halal grocery stores and whenever we find they are mostly sugar coated.I tried sugar-free gummies at home with 100% juice and Its super easy and healthy treats for kids.

You will need

Any Juice (I used 100 % orange juice)

Natural Sweetener: Honey or Maple syrup

Any Halal Flavored Jello:100 gm (1/2 pkg)

Unsweetened Gelatin (Halal):3 Tsp

Lemon Juice:1 Tsp

Mold or an ice cube tray.

Warm 2 cups of juice and before it reaches to a boil add 3 Tsp of gelatin powder.Simmer it until the gelatin dissolves.
Add any regular flavored jello, I used strawberry flavor.
Mix it well, now add maple syrup or honey according to your taste.I used about 2 Tbs of Honey.
Add lemon juice
Carefully pour the hot mixture into the mold, refrigerate for an hour.
Store in fridge for 1 month.

You can use fresh fruit and vegetable juice like orange, carrots or kiwi fruit.Isn’t so easy to make your very own sugar-free gummies.You can even coat it with sugar if you like.

Life is so precious yet unpredictable, you never know how it surprises you.I know people who are suffering from life-threatening disease and causes are still unknown.It’s really hard to see your loved ones in pain.Every single day I always thankful and feel blessed to have a happy and healthy family.(Allhumdillah)

I got this Betty Crocker’s cookbook from Dollarama a few days ago, it is specifically written by cancer survivors for cancer patients. They shared their experiences throughout their recovery. They also shared tips to boost energy and spirit during illness and chemotherapy. How to recover and start routine along with some quick and healthy recipes with doctor’s Notes. There is some bonus section on Breast cancer. In short, it’s a complete book I have ever seen so far!

I bought this book to get to know how I can start a healthy lifestyle and also how to help if someone is fighting this battle. There is always a hope and support to defeat cancer( or any illness) is possible. Great book, I am thinking to share some quick tip from this book as soon as I finish it(comment if you want me asap). Please Pray for my friend who is fighting with cancer nowadays…please pray for her and for everyone!!

I was running out of DIY Bath Salt that I made a couple of weeks ago. My whole family love it, especially during this cold and flu season.This time I tried the Combo of Pink Himalaya Salt and Eucalyptus essential oil.Eucalyptus essential oil is the main ingredient of Vick’s and has exact same Vick’s smell.If you have Flu or sinus than give this DIY Bath salt a try.

Let’s discuss the recipe!!

Epsom Salt: 1 cup

Sea Salt: 1/4 cup

Baking soda:1/2 cup(optional)

Eucalyptus Essential Oil: 10-12 drops

Olive Oil: 2 Tsp

Red Food color: Few drops (optional)

Mix Pink Himalayan Salt, Epsom salt, Sea Salt and Baking soda together.I hand mixed it or use any spoon.

Add Eucalyptus essential oil and Olive oil.If you like add few drops of red food color.Mix everything Well.Store in airtight glass jar or container.

Sprinkle a generous amount of bath salt into warm running water and allow to dissolve.I just love using this recipe especially when I am tired or have back/body pain. It works like a charm and relaxes my muscles and also helps and give a relief in the sinus or flu.
