A generously sized pudding to wrap yourself up in a comforting Christmas blanket of Lime Oil, Patchouli Oil and Cinnamon Leaf Oil. Wondering on what is that? I am talking about the LUSH Holly Go Lightly Bubble Bar. Its festive spice fragrance is like bathing in a hot toddy, perfect for getting you in the Christmas spirit.
You all would have read the Christmas & Holiday collection preview from LUSh in this post. In this post, I am sharing my opinion about this very very Christmas-y bubble bar! Doesn’t it look like it’s freshly cut from a Christmas cake? Well, LUSH knows how to go really festive with its adorably designed products! Not a single product is there that doesn’t remind me of the holidays/Christmas!

Around 1% of the population, have ‘celiac disease’ – a more serious form of gluten intolerance. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale (a combination of wheat and rye). It acts as a “glue” in foods such as cereal, bread and pasta, helping them hold their shape.
Awareness of the negative health effects of gluten has increased in the past few years.Now, majority of the population are actively trying to eliminate gluten from their diets.
In this post I am sharing with you all- A gluten free, dairy free, sugar free brown bread- Gluten Freedom Everyday Sandwich Bread Brown

I am a big fan of Kiehl’s products. i already use their face wash, midnight recovery concentrate and line reducing serum. Their Midnight Recovery concentrate was one of my first purchase, and I swear by that product. I cannot literally go to sleep without putting few drops of it on my face. That’s the only skincare product that I travel with. I only need a few drops on my face at night, and it turns my extremely dry skin into healthy, radiant skin. It completely reverses the effects of a long flight journey.
When I was invited last month for the launch of this Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate , I was super excited. You must have ready the full event post + pics here. Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate is a lighter version of Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I was really lucky to get this wonderful product to take home. In this post, I am writing my experience using this products, my first impressions on using it etc.

After quoting endless times in each wishlist that you have and finally owning that product which you longed for since long long time…it’s indeed a very special moment, isn’t it? I was completely bowled by Guerlain KissKiss. I am not sure why I was getting so addicted to it. It could have been luxury packaging. Anyways, presenting my first Guerlain product ever – Guerlain Paris KissKiss Lipstick – Pinky Groove. I shopped this from Smith & Caughey’s NZ here along with few other items. Have you checked my 28th Birthday haul yet.

Today was indeed fantastic! I got the wonderful opportunity to get my makeup done by one of the best Bobbi Brown makeup artist in NZ. Thanks to the wonderful Jess who gave me an opportunity for a makeup lesson.
I was introduced to the wonderful Jenna who did my makeup. She initially asked me what sort of a makeup I was looking for. I was actually interested in a day wear/office wear look , a look I can carry with almost any outfit. I also told her, I don’t want a high coverage. I wanted my skin to see through.

Chilli Chicken is one of my most favorite dish ever. It reminds me of my childhood days, During Christmas, my mom and aunt cooks a variety of non veg dishes. As kids, back then we used to have Christmas vacation and it brings me those awesome childhood days where I helped my mom and aunt in chopping some of the ingredients and waiting impatiently for the yummiest food ever 🙂 My aunt used to serve this with fried rice which I will share in another post. Very rarely, I make Chilli Chicken at my home in NZ too. My husband is a fan of non veg food just like me. I have made few changes in the regular Chilli Chicken recipe. Me and my husband are fan of spicy food and so, ihave matched the ingredients to make it more spicy. I hope you will try this recipe and let me know whether you like it or not. Presenting Renji’s style of Chilli Chicken, Lets get started!

Hi dearies. Today’s post is kind of different. While sharing my cooking experiments in instagram, A lot of you were actually asking me to do a post about it. It was in my mind. But somehow, I never really thought of doing it as a blog post. I was initially trying to add a subdomain to my existing blog. But, For some technical reason, it was not getting loaded properly. Blame wordpress and host gator for it. Well, eventually, I would be moving all food related posts to a subdomain of this main blog..Till then, you can find all my food related posts from the tab “FOOD” in the main menu of the home page.
Let me start with one of my favorite dish ever. It’s super easy to make it. and can be served with Rice or Appam (A South Indian Breakfast dish). This is how it looks. Looks yum, isn’t it?
