Five Highlights Of 2017!

Like really? where did 2017 go??? Well, this happens every year, one moment you are at the countdown of 3 2 1 ---- Happy New Year!!! and post couple of blinks you are at the seasons of sweaters and countdown to New Year again!!!



 Now to the 2017 Highlights!!!
  • This was the year I started the Social Media Challenge #100daysofhappiness on      Instagram - life and perspective changing. It was an impulsive decision to get started but I was glad it was one thing I actually held onto and completed it. It helped me view from a different angle of life, to notice the smaller and simpler things that happens in life. It kept me mindful of the things happening around me which I reckon as so important given the fast paced lives we all live in.
  • Totally digging on a life changing hack - "Law of Attraction"  - Well, one doesn't become a pro on such things over-night as it is a law and it requires a lot of accepting and practicing to really say that I am following something, I could still proudly announce, I totally buy it - when I got to know of this law, one thing I was certain is that I have been using this law all my life only I was attracting the things I did not want, so the whole point now is to do it for the things I want and love. This mindset is going to be one the biggest experimentation for 2018.
  •  My husband and I tried being the cool couple and did one of the stay-cation thingies for our anniversary, whenever we have planned some time off it has always been planning to go somewhere far away from where we live - that was meant to be an ideal thing to do, this time we did a lil' experiment and tried to book a fancy hotel room for 3 days and decided to spend some time in our own city, in a familiar place - the perks of it - one moment you are home and in the next 30 minutes you are on vacation, you know of all the amazing eat-out places and if things were to go wrong you always have Plan B, you get to experience your place as a tourist and the best thing of it all like any other holiday it rejuvenates you for less the cost and less the planning effort.

  • Experienced some unique eats - well this requires no explanation - I am a foodie and I love trying some new ways of eating and unique treat every now and then. This year was no exception, I did try Prawn Tempura Sushi and Crab Rice Sushi, Baos, Steamed Mantaos, Ramen Bowls, Pan Seared Garlic Scallops, Saute Edamame, Chicken Yakitori, Beef Carpaccio, Eggs Benedict, Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Shepherds' Pie - I have to insert a collage of some of the dishes!

  • Goa 2017 Trip - It was one of the most planned trips - where the planning began in 2015 and we friends ultimately ended up going in 2017. I went on a trip with friends after a very very long time and it was fresh and rejuvenating - the trip included frequent spa sessions, amazing eats, chilling time at the beach and not to forget a time to unwind and relax mentally - away from work and routine.

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...

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...

VLCC Pista Massage Cream Review

For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon. I thought to give this product   a try , as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it! About the packaging and price It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage.  About the product and usage The cream is green in color and has a slightl...
