Working On My Reading Game!

How is it even June so early?!

This year, my reading game has been so poor, I must admit that I have a huge pile of books that need some reading, which I did not, as I was busy binge-watching TV series and Youtube.

I have read a couple of books this year so far, but mostly on my phone which sucks, I really do not enjoy reading books on an electronic device - but those books were something I did not want to own so...

Some of them were:

- The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak (I own this one)

- Orange is the new black by Piper Kerman (ditched it mid way - found the tv series better)

- The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo (some tips were fine)

- The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman (Easy read - read it in a day - good one)

- You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay (Obsessed! Easy read and quite inspirational)

- The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (Heard so much about this one - I had to read it - Again inspirational)

- The Magic by Rhonda Byrne (Similar to The Secret)

Currently Reading - Mossad by Michael Bar-Zohar & Nissim Mishal

My to be read pile:

*SITA - Warrior of Mithila - By Amish - Eagerly waiting to read this one

*Wise & Otherwise - By Sudha Murty

*When the Moon is Low by Nadia Hashimi

*Angel of the Dark by Tilly Bagshawe

*The Talion Tale by Rahul Apte

My reading wishlist for the rest of the year:

*The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy

*Option B by Sheryl Sandberg

*Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami

*A House Without Windows by Nadia Hashimi

*I Hid My Voice By Parinoush Sainee

*Friend Request by Laura Marshall

*They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera

Happy Reading

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...
