ek garam chai ki pyali ho!

I know, most of the West-world is obsessed with TEA. I, on the other hand is not so fond of tea but off-late I am so sick with mountains stuck in my throat, nothing is more appealing to me than a cuppa-tea :)

Well, this is Adrak-Pudina-Elaichi (Ginger-Mint-Cardamom) Tea - so perfect to kill the cold-bugs stuck in my throat and head.

Recipe for the Adrak-Pudina-Elaichi (Ginger-Mint-Cardamom) Tea (makes 2-3 cups)

  • 2-3 cups boiled water
  • Handful of Mint (about 7-10 leaves)
  • 4-5 whole cardamom
  • 1 and half inch whole ginger - peeled and crushed
  • 2 tbsp tea powder (strong, any brand that appeals to you, I used Red Label)
  • 2 tsp sugar (can use honey, any sweetener, or no sweetener)
  • Milk
- Bring water to a boil and switch off the gas and soak mint leaves in the water for 1-2         mins.
-Switch the gas on and keep on medium flame and add sugar and allow the sugar to  dissolve completely before adding crushed cardamom and ginger. Allow to boil for a  minute.
-Strain the cardamom, ginger and mint leaves from the water and turn the flame to high    getting the water to boil once again and add tea powder.
-Once the tea is ready add milk as required.
-Serve piping hot with Khari-toast --- YUM!

Bioderma Node DS+ Shampooing Review

Bioderma! A brand every skin/hair care fancying woman greedily hoards. Well in my case I needed to pick this "heaven sent" product to heed to my never-ending, every stalking dandruff problem. I have been facing persistent dandruff right since I was a kid, but with time and changing products the flaky snow on my head just got worse. I had been using The Body Shop - Ginger Anti Dandruff shampoo, as mentioned in my earlier post here , I never swore by it that it did any good or bad to my dandruff situation, but I still continue using it every once a while and avoid using it on my scalp off-late. I was recommended this shampoo by my dermatologist as  I recently had some problem with an allergy on my lip (about that I will cover in another post - coming soon!) which was triggered by dandruff *sighs*. Ok back to Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo Claims of this product: - Reduces rapid increase of Malassezia yeast which triggers dandruff - Prevents recurre...

M.A.C Lipstick Review - M.A.C Matte Lipstick - Shade Diva

My M.A.C Lipstick in Diva When it comes to M.A.C lipsticks I can go on and on, a true lipstick lover will know that M.A.C lipstick is the queen of lipsticks because of its wide range of formulas and shades. Whenever I buy an high-end lipstick, for me the shade matters the most, I do not like buying bold shade for fear I won't use it much and it won't justify the price. I wanted a red tone matte lipstick from M.A.C but at the same time I did not want a bold red or orange red tone lipstick as it would not flatter my skin tone. I almost left the counter thinking red is out of question, matte red is totally out of question and then I happen to swatch M.A.C Diva - I always looked at M.A.C Diva as more of an autumn-wintery shade and that it would look more festive and wine shadey kinda color. My First Impression: My mind: "Oh my my, it can be red, ok get your view right - its more blue-based red on you, not redddd...marooooon, maroon is a nice shade!"  My...
