I couple of months ago I made my first homemade laundry liquid detergent and it works very well. The recipe is fast enough and very cheap. You can have 5 liters of good household liquid soap  with less than one dollar!

Ingredients
500 gr  of bar soap
5 liters of hot tap water
1 ladle
1 funnel
1 cheese grater
1 5 liters container
3 spoon of baking soda

Procedure:
Grate the soap in a bowl and add 3 spoons of backing soda and 1 liter of hot water, than mix with a ladle than gradually add 2 more liters of hot water; let the mixture stand for 1 day shaking occasionally to facilitate the mix. After a day you will have a gel so put it into a container and fill it with warm water: your soap is done.  For a medium dirty laundry I use one cup and a half.
Needless to say, this recipe is really very easy and cheap. Have you tried this soap or have you another magic recipe? Let me know.

Two weeks ago I bought a new pair of jeans, they are beautiful and comfortable but after 15 minutes I found out that the zipper opens all the time and I lost the receipt; the most obvious thing is to change the the throusers zipper but I'm not skilled enough, so I used a fast technique to fix any broken zipper. I don't remember where I've learned this thing, maybe an old high school girlfriend told me this secret!

You need:
1 elastic 
1 defective zipper

Take the elastic and fit it into the slot of lightning by passing one end inside the other and squeezing hard.









Pull on the zipper and tie the elastic to the button, do a knot and tight it firmly to prevent it from melting, if necessary make two. Cut the elastic in excess.







It wont be necessary to open the knot when you want to remove the jeans because this method allows you to remove them without any problem. The zipper will never get off and the elastic on the inside will be completely INVISIBLE!
Isn't it the best zipper repair?
