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...

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color - Shade Cali Rose

I won't consider myself as a total lipstick junkie, but, yeah l ipsticks are my thing, no doubt, and no matter how I have this "love at first sight" obsession with new lip products, I always kinda make the lipstick and my relationship almost "playing hard to get" till I really I start using it. For this baby - I gave up, I GAVE UP! I AM USING IT NON-STOP, ever since I bought it. There are total 20 shades to choose from and the colors ranges from pink-peach, coral nude tones, to rosy pinks, to some really hot reds and then to those more vampy typa shades in burgundy and maroon. Which means, there is at least one for everyone in the bucket. Each of these beauties will cost your pocket INR 1700 for 3.4g of product, which in my opinion, is pretty decent for a high-end brand of lipstick.  The packaging itself is this classy Bobbi Brown black matte case with the center  portion of the case depicting the color of the product. This really helps whe...

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...
