Make your own Magic hanger

Remember those magic hangers we see on TV and here and there over the internet ?

You know how much this saves space, right?. It is useful for small closets and limited spaces. I wish I could buy too many, but why I have to buy when I already have a free one in my home? I just inspired the idea and it's all  done. I couldn't believe I have it. 

Anyone can do it with no time . It's super easy and inexpensive. Do you you know the hangers we used to  hang behind doors? those which you find everywhere in dollar store ? Just check this out.

This is the normal hanger. With S-shape hooks I hang it to the closet stick.

 The hanger already is divided like a chain.I hanged a cloth hanger in each section.

So this is the normal state for the magic hanger. To maximize the space . Just remove one S-shape hook and you are done. Are you ready?

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .

All the shirts now are hanging vertically . I love the way it turns. 

You can see now. The shirts take no much space . No screws . No drill . No even glue and DIY complicated steps. Just S- shape hook and regular door hanger. you are done. Congratulation for the new magic hanger you freely have.

The festival of doughs

Three days ago, we said goodbye to Ramadan. We were sad because all the special treats in Ramadan have gone. We will miss Ramadan so much with all of its special things we used to do in Ramadan especially eating the breakfast everyday together with family. We will miss making worships in Masjids, Mesaharati, Ramadan lamp, Ramadan sound, Amar Eddin , Tamarind. Konafa and Atayef. 

We also said welcome to feast . It's "Eid Al - Fitr". This is like a reward for the worshiper for his faith and his fast. As we like to prepare for Ramadan , we also like to prepare for Eid. We buy new clothes and make some outing programs. Also we make some kinds of cakes like cookies, Pettifor and biscuits. All family girls gather in the  family house and start make and bake cookies and Pettifor. 

 You can imagine the amount of doughs we make for family.

The doughs are very soft and we all have fun playing with them and put them in the biscuit machine.

 Ummm . Ok This looks soooo hand made :D . We like it also . Anyway they will look good in the oven.

 This was Ghorayeba. It is a melt-in-mouth cookies in Egyptian style. I love it . I think I ate 1 kilo of this? If you like me to share the recipe please leave a comment below.

We like how biscuit shape is up to. We like to taste and we also like when the very first punch of baking is not accurate. We have fun with everything because we all are together.

 And this was the cookies we made. If you like me to share any of these gorgeous recipes please leave a comment below. I like to hear from you and know your feedback . See next post.

Things to care about when you are doing laundry

Today I will share things you have to take care about when you are doing your laundry because I noticed some popular problems when wives make laundry.

For example when you have a shirt that you hand washed, it will be full of water. If  you hang it with clothespins as shown in the wrong section the pins will create creases in the shoulders of the shirt because it was heavy and full of water when you hanged it. To avoid this leave it horizontally on a table or an internal rag until it dries.

Also if you a have cotton shirt, don't hang it  from bottom as shown in the wrong part above, because it will end up with damaged shape. Cotton is easy to stretch when it is wet so be-careful. To avoid this fold it into half and hang it from under sleeves like shown.

When you have a dress that has lots of buttons and accessories it's better for you to turn it inside out because if you don't you may find all the buttons and accessories in the washing machine.

Some bad clothespins made of iron make some rug stain on the clothes when they are wet. Be-careful and use the plastic pins.

I hope you find this post helpful. I am waiting for your feedback and comments. See you next post.

How to organize origami papers

As I said before I am so crafty person . I like crafts so much . I have  too many origami papers which I use to make very beautiful origami shapes. All what I did to organize them is to get a shoe cardboard box and covered it with contact papers and made cardboard dividers for it.

Here is how to do it

I cut 3 pieces of cardboard  W x H and two pieces D x H. In equal spaces I cut  H/2 stripes inside the cardboard pieces to make room for the mutual cardboard pieces to in like a mesh. It now fits all my origami papers . Also my folded origami pieces .

A quick tip . If you have small pieces of origami papers remained from your projects just group them with elastics  or rubber bands. 

And this is how I organize my origami papers. I also grouped them by colors to make it easier to use.

I hope this post was helpful . I like to see your comments and send me your pictures about any craft organizing you made. Thank you for reading . See you next post

How to make Tamarind juice

Today I will show you how to make Tamarind. Tamarind is a very famous drink in Egypt specially in Ramadan.  We drink it after or before "Iftar".

It is fresh and tangy . We love to drink it after fasting . It gives energy and power and makes you feel sooo fresh.

This is the Tamarind . You will  find it packaged and squeezed like this. Just cut the amount you want  into pieces.

Soak into water in the fridge over the night. The longer you leave it the richer flavor you will get .

This is after soaking for the night long. You will find the water turned into the tamarind color .

Filtrate it into colander. Oh yes I love this thing. This bowl is so easy to soak and filter also for washing fruits and veggies.

Taste it. It suppose to be sour if it is the right description . You can add water if you find the flavor too much rich. Add sugar as desired. You are done.

What makes you hate laundry

Laundry means a pile for everybody. I have to say the truth. Like most of us, I hate laundry. I used to have a pile of laundry all the time. I always have the same problem with my baby that he has  nothing to wear after all his clothes dropped  in laundry basket screaming for wash. I have to spend two or three days getting rid of laundry pile every week with hard working washing  machine and no extra space to hang out the wet clothes.

I live in a good weather environment. Dryer for us is an accessory that we will never think of when we buy home machines because we already have a good, hot and shiny weather to dry clothes . The washing machine already rinse the clothes up to 70% dryness or more. We hang the 70% wet clothes in balcony for fresh air and  shiny sunlight killing germs. Sounds good, but I still hated the laundry. Before I go to my problem let me think about what makes most of women hate laundry and have pile of it.

Bad weather

If you have a bad weather in your environment, it means that you will not make your laundry for today. This is an easy solved problem by finding a room in your home that has a good amount of natural light and with internal rack you are done.

Too lazy

I have to stop here to think about the reasons make you feel lazy about the laundry like :

Long process

We all think that laundry takes forever to be done. Very long process to be run. drop clothes in laundry basket, divide them, check pockets, wash them, dry them if you have dryer, hang them, collect them, fold them, iron them and put them in closet, them, them them ... lol . Sounds too many steps with them. This frustrates you as any long process to do in home.

Heavy washing basket.

If you have a pile of laundry which looks like weights in your hands, you will be the most frustrated wife in the world. You will spend the whole day washing clothes with long programs in your washing machine. They are too many and you are too busy.

uncleaned balcony or laundry room.

If you have balcony  that's full of dust or a messy laundry room, this will be a main reason to make you hate laundry. It is just because sometimes we ignore the balcony as if it is not a part of the home. Like it is outside and always full of dust and it takes a long process to clean.

So how to make it easier and overcome these problems? here you are some tips

Overcome bad weather

As I said if you have a bad weather like one or couple of days, dry your clothes over an internal rack. If you have bad weather most of the time, dryer must be added to your laundry room if you don't already have one.

Overcome the heavy baskets


Sometimes you are in a hurry and bring some clothes to wear from the closet, wear them and you change your mind or you will not wear them for any reason. After a while when you organize,  you will not be sure is this is uncleaned or what and it ends up to be in the laundry basket. Have a moment to drop them in a place you know, instead of throwing them in the ground. Same goes for work clothes you wear for one day. Just hang them into fresh area and they will return like new. Don't think it is easy to put all clothes around you in
the laundry basket. Plus I will share with you my routine that overcame all of problems we mentioned above in the next posts.

Overcome uncleaned laundry room

Don't  ignore your balcony. Treat  it as a part of your living room. Clean it whenever you clean your home. Also make your laundry room a beautiful place for you like adding some frames, plants or table with a flower vase. this will motivate you for going to balcony or laundry room too many times.You are done.




I like to hear from you . what makes you hate the laundry. On the other hand if you don't hate laundry tell me why do you like it. What makes you like it. I am waiting for your feedback and comments. See you next post

How to make candy toast

I don't know exactly where is this recipe from. I have been taught this recipe so many years ago when I was child. This recipe is very light, crispy  from outside and soft from inside. It is very easy and it is made mainly from toast bread.

The ingredients: 

1 bag of toast bread.
1 small bowl of water.
Oil to fry

For the syrup:

2 cups of sugar
1 cup of water
1 small spoon of lemon juice.


First, cut off the brown edges of the toast bread piece.

Cut the white part into quarters.

Flat the pieces with the rolling pin.

Roll the piece and wet your hand with some water to close the end of the roll

Do the same for all the bread pieces.

In a medium heat and small pot put the sugar and the water. Don't stir just leave it to boil until you get the thickness you like for the syrup. The syrup need to be cool before using it.

Fry all the pieces in the oil over a medium heat. Try to be fast and careful because they turn into gold very quickly.

Get out the rolls from the oil and immediately drop them into the cool syrup. Leave them for 30 seconds and get them out of the syrup.

You are done. Just feel free to eat with chocolate syrup, with cream or with nuts. I hope you liked the recipe. See you next post.

Quick Organizing Tips : Exact baby milk standard every time

I like to share this little cute tip with you . I don't rely compeltely on baby milk bottles but sometimes I need it. When I open a new baby milk tin I like to cut the metal cover just like this.

When I make the milk bottle I like to have an edge to sweep the standard spoon in it to get the right amount of milk each time

I liked the idea so much.  You can use a tape to do the same concept. You can also it in all your seasoning.

I am waiting for your feedback and comments. If you have any question I am happy to answer you. Thank you for reading. See you next post.

The secrets of the soft Egyptian Basboosa

Basboosa is a very famous dessert in Egypt. It is always eaten with a cup of tea after the "Iftar". I like it. It is very tasty and sweet. It is very soft and delicious.

The only problem with this easy dessert is how to make it soft and successful. Most of new house wives mistakenly make it very hard. Today I will show you the tricks and secrets of making the easy tasty soft Basboosa.


Basboosa is made mainly from Semolina flour. Which is very useful for human body.  I promise you can find all the ingredients in your country.

The ingredients :

1 cup of semolina flour.
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of animal margarine.
1/2 cup of cream or yogurt
1 tbsp of baking powder.
1/3 cup of grated coconut (This is optional)
Nuts for decorating and also for rich flavor.

For syrup :

1 cup of sugar.
1 cup of water.
1 small spoon of lemon juice.
1 tbsp of margarine.


First put the semolina and the coconut in a bowl and add the margarine. Slowly mix them together until all the flour mixed with the margarine.

Secret no. 1

If you added a lacteal to semolina  it will make something called gluten which makes the mix gets hard in the oven . That's why we add the margarine before the cream or the yogurt. the margarine will cover the semolina and make layer between the semolina and the cream. This is one of the secrets of making soft Basboosa.

Secret no. 2

We slowly move the mix. Don't hardly mix it because mixing the mix so hardly make hard Basboosa as a result.

Add the sugar, cream or yogurt and baking powder to the mix and slowly mix them until you get the following texture.

In a 28 or 30 size tray  covered with a margarine layer add the mix. With your spatula make the mix  flat over the tray.

put the nuts sequentially and put it in the oven under 180 degree.

In a small pot and on a medium heat, add 1 cups of sugar and one cup of water . don't stir. When the mix is boiled add the lemon and leave it to boil until you get a sweet syrup. Turn the fire off and when the mix get warm add a tbsp of margarine to the syrup and leave it to melt.

Secret no. 3

Never stir a dessert syrup. It will make some crystal sugar on top if you stir it. Just leave the syrup to boil without moving it.

Secret no. 4

The spoon of margarine make the Basboosa gets soft and good texture. 

Back to Basboosa. When you find the edges turned to brown turn off the lower heat and turn on the upper heat and watch it until you get a golden surface and turn off the heat.

Don't get out the Basboosa from the oven. Turn on the fire for the syrup until it boils again. Now get the Basboosa out and pour the syrup immediately  over the Basboosa slowly. When you find the Basboosa stopped to absorb the syrup stop pouring and cover the tray leaving a small whole to breath. You are done.

Secret no. 5

In any recipe of dessert that needs syrup, we usually have to have one of the syrup or the dessert to be cold and the other to be hot. But in Basboosa both of them neeeed to be hot. This is a top secret of soft Basboosa.

Secret no. 6

When you cover the Basboosa you prevent it from getting hard and we left a small hole to breath because we don't want the steam to turned into water and destroy everything.

Cut it and you are done.
