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!

Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum Review

I have always liked a good Lotus product every now and then. Sometime during the start of winters I decided to include serums in my skincare routine, now a dry skin baby like me needs to think a couple of times before adding something new to my skincare routine so as to not further dry my skin and that too in winters. I started using the  Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum from December last year and I was using it on alternate days and night, as I do not believe using something new regularly just to see how my skin is reacting in the first few days. I picked this product from the Nykaa winter sale and managed to get a good discount as well. The MRP is INR 545 for 30ml and usually you do end up getting discount of 20-25% on Nykaa. Though, it is not a super pricey product, discounts always help while purchasing a "never tried before" product. I was waiting to use it for a month or so, before I could share my two cents on it. Now abou...

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...

Things I Am Loving Lately...

Google Image Since, it is a month of love and things related to love, I thought why not throw in a post about things I've been loving lately... Well, I know the whole buzz about Valentines' Day and all the days preceding to it are not so much related about loving "things", so much as loving a person or people or even yourself. But, I am no expert on the subject to write anything lovey-dovey, so I will do what I think I know best, talk about things I have loved recently. Reading I won't classify myself to be a voracious reader or anything close to that, but every now and then, I enjoy a good book. Reading is a great way to realize how simple life can be, without all the complexities of the wifi and social media. I read a book by Sudha Murty - Wise And Otherwise, it was a good start to begin my reading game again, as it is a compilation of 51 short stories, mostly based on her experience and observations about day to day life. I am currently readin...
