How to Make Amla (Gooseberry) Juice at Home
Amla, otherwise known as Indian Gooseberry, has traditionally been used for centuries in Indian medicine because of its digestive and astringent properties. It also has many other health benefits, and is an amazing boost for people having a cold as it boosts their immune system, and helps relieve the symptoms of cold. Amla is also very good for your hair - it prevents the appearance of grey hair.
Here is how to make amla (gooseberry) juice and store it for days.
Ingredients You Will Need
1 kg of amla berries (2.2 lbs - about 1 kg)
1 cup of water
2 tsp of honey
A pinch of black salt
Blender
A cloth (for straining)
Steps to Make Fresh Amla Juice at Home
The first step is to wash them properly and then cut every amla berry you have in half to remove the seed. Place these halves in a big bowl or jar.
When you are done cutting all of them, crush the berries properly. Crush them till they turn into a paste.
Now, put this paste in a straining cloth and place it over a bowl. Squeeze the content tightly so that you get the juice in the bowl. Squeeze it till you have taken out all the juice.
Put the bowl aside. Take the leftover pulp from the cloth and put it in a juicer or a mixer. Add the resulting liquid and blend.
Remember to clean the cloth since you will be using it again. Strain the juice you get after blending.
You will get around 650 ml of amla juice from this juice.
You can then add 1 cup of water and blend it all together. You can keep this in the fridge for around fifteen days.
When you are going to serve your juice, you can add one pinch of black salt and two teaspoons of honey. This will give your juice an amazing flavour. The juice is more enjoyable when served cool.
FAQs
We answer some commonly asked questions about amla juice below:
1. Why Is Consuming Amla Juice Good?
Amla is known to control cholesterol, blood sugar, and triglycerides. It also helps to reduce the chances of metabolic syndrome. Any health condition can be lowered when you eat amla along with regular exercise.
2. How to Store Amla Juice?
When you want to preserve your amla juice, the capacity of the jar you want to store it in should be equal to the quantity of the juice. So, in a 500 g capacity plastic container or glass, take 500 ml of juice and put 2 tablespoons of sodium lactate. Mix your juice well.
You will now be able to preserve it for 8-10 months. You can get sodium lactate from any store that sells food chemicals.
3. For How Many Days You Can Preserve Amla Juice?
Without using any preservatives, you can store your juice in a refrigerator for approximately fifteen days.
4. Can You Freeze Amla Juice?
Yes, you can freeze amla juice and preserve it in the form of ice cubes.
Due to the amazing health benefits Amla has, you can consider serving Amla juice to your family every morning. Give this method a try!

Tips on Taking Your First Flight With Your Infant
Before travelling by plane for the first time with my infant, I had so many questions running through my head. While some were answered before the journey began, some were answered during the flight and the rest, after we landed. So, here are some tips on taking a domestic flight with your infant, for the first time.
The first thing you might wonder is if your baby needs a ticket. The answer is yes. Babies under the age of two can travel for free, but you still have to buy a ticket for them and pay the tax amount, which varies according to the airline. Book the ticket in advance, so that you can get a seat of your choice. Some airlines have infant special seats, so check and book a seat in advance.
Choose a time of travel that is generally near your baby's nap time, so that you both can travel peacefully. Otherwise, all the waiting around and sitting may irritate your little one, causing a tantrum.
The next thing is that you need to show a government approved identity for your baby to enter the airport. A birth certificate, passport or Aadhar card will work.
If you want, you can carry a pram or stroller. However, it is my personal suggestion to avoid a pram because it can be difficult for you to carry it through security and it may also create trouble when travelling to the plane in the bus.
For diaper changes, most major domestic airports have baby diaper changing rooms you can use. There is also a diaper changing seat in the plane's washroom, but it is quite cramped, so try and change your baby's diaper in the airport washroom before you board.
If your baby only drinks breast milk, carry a dupatta to cover yourself during feeds.
Airlines provide an infant seat belt that you have to attach to your own seat belt, so make sure to do that and keep your baby safe.
Last, but not the least, feed your baby during take off and and landing, so that the air pressure doesn't bother him/her.
I hope this information helps you have a happy, safe, and fuss-free journey with your baby.

Marriage and Happily Ever After? Of Course!
Marriage takes work and is sometimes fraught with worry. Sure, it's tempting to think that someone will magically solve all your problems but you only get bogged down when that doesn't happen. Then again, when things get dull and problems arise, it doesn't mean passion is lost in a marriage. It just means that the two of you need to revisit expectations.
Secrets Spells to Make your Post Marriage Relationship Better
1. No More Fairy Tale Dreams
You know life is not a story book, so why hold on to that fairy tale myth? Marriage is wonderful when you smile together through the ups and downs. Accept the fact that your relationship will have difficulties and prepare yourselves. Once you accept this, you’ll find it much easier to get through problems and dull phases.
2. Let the Storm Go and say You're Sorry
There will be heated arguments that make you feel as if you want to give up. But believe in the 'let it go' mantra to let things work the right way. A marriage doesn't mean there won’t be conflict, but it does mean that sometimes you need to let things pass. A simple 'sorry' can work wonders to make amends and it’s a lot healthier than holding grudges.
3. Bring out your Romantic Side
Who says you can't date just because you’re married? It's time to take out your favourite dress and enjoy a romantic dinner with your hubby. Display your love by giving him a long, goodnight kiss or a loving hug when he gets back from work. You can also leave love notes and give him a sensual massage!
4. Do Something Funny
Sometimes, naughty jokes, laughter and funny moments can help bring you closer. Stop taking everything seriously. Humor is a great way to diffuse tense situations and let you see things from a different perspective.
5. Don’t Forget the Little Things
With the passing years in marriage, you tend to forget the little things that brought you together. It’s time to bring the past to the present and start doing small but meaningful things for each other. Show him how grateful you are for his love by surprising him with his favourite meal or taking him out for dinner.
6. Love your Partner for Who He Is
Don’t expect your husband to be Prince Charming. Love him the way he is because no one’s perfect. If there are habits you don’t like, gently nudge him in the right direction. Be open to change yourself too. The sooner you let go of the expectation of perfection, the happier you’ll be.
Reality can be as awesome as your dreams, depending on what you make of your marriage. Chuck unrealistic expectations and you’ll soon figure out that life is more beautiful when there’s no pixie dust. The beauty of marriage will make your love deeper and stronger if you are only willing to make that added effort. Read more

Packing Right and Light for Family Vacations
Planning to go on a vacation? You have set your mind to pick comfortable bags and stuff them only with items you really need. However, this can be easier said than done! Achieve your goal to travel light and right with these tips for your vacation packing checklist for family.
Packing is quite a task and few things are more irksome than carrying bulky bags when on a vacation. If you're planning a trip with your husband and kids, it's important to prepare a packing list for a family vacation. This will save you from lugging around bags that weigh a tonne and dealing with unnecessary knick-knacks you shouldn't have taken along.
Tips on How to Pack for a Family Vacation
1. Check the Weather Forecast
If you're travelling in the summer but don't quite know what the weather will be where you're going, check the forecast. Most weather websites provide forecasts for up to around 10 days. This should help you figure out the kind of clothes and footwear you need to take along.
2. Consider the Activities You'll be Engaging In
Even if you don't have a strict itinerary, think about the activities you and your family will probably be indulging in on the trip. Cliff jumping, hiking, swimming? Keep these in mind when preparing a vacation packing checklist. You can avoid stuffing bags with unnecessary items that are no help at all!
3. Don't Take Too Many Clothes
Clothes take up a lot of space. And while you may think it's important to carry separates for each day, or probably even a few extras, are they really required? If going for a longer vacation, use the laundry service at the place you'll be staying so you can repeat outfits. A few scarves, shrugs and accessories can help you and the kids put together different looks with the same clothes. ||
4. Avoid Packing Toys
Don't take along too many toys and games for your children as they only take up a lot of space. After all, the point is to spend time together as a family and to enjoy the experience of a new place. In any case, your kids will probably want you to get them a few new things wherever you're going!
5. Choose the Right Luggage Bags
Once you've figured out what to pack for a family vacation, it's time to choose the bags to take everything in. Backpacks are a good option as they're easy to carry and it's a good idea to pick ones with multiple pockets. Trolley bags are another good choice. If you have teenage children, task them to carry a backpack. Carry travel documents and other valuable items in a separate pouch and keep this close to you at all times.
These family travel tips will help you travel light and yet carry all your essentials. This way, all your attention can be on having fun and not painfully towing luggage along! Read more
