Life..till date...

Hey everyone!
  Today I decided to go all pictorial. So you are in for tons and tons of pictures! sort of what I have been up to all this while.

Just recently I discovered the American Express Bakery (Bandra) which is run by this really sweet American lady. They serve the BEST cheese cake on this earth. Not to mention their yummy butter cookies are also to -die-for. I loved their colorful brownie icing.
                                 

2 weeks ago me and my girlfriends took off for a 'weekday getway'. Spontaneous plans tend to be double the fun!

                                   

                                  

The resort at where we stayed

These cupcakes are from the 'Butterfly' . It was my neighbors birthday. And this is like a make-do cake we made out of cupcakes.

This picture was taken on my best friend Neha's birthday. Four of us have been buddies since the age 4. I love us a lot!

We had traditional day in college. Thanks to the heat I skipped the idea of wearing a sari.

 I got this deserts idea from none other than Nigella Lawson. Its rose water soaked strawberries in vanilla icecream. Maybe I'll do a recipe post on it. Do you guys want it?

 

That''s my friend Michelle holding a beagle. Wish I could hold dogs without fear :(

This was at the Kala Ghoda festival. This art was the most humorous illustration so far.

 

This one-of-a-kind roll on 'PMS RELIEF' roll on by Soulflower. It claims that the aromas can help deal with pms. So curious to try it out!

Okay! this is like the MOST random photo of the entire post. Its the home page of the first ever website I made. Its a travel and tourism website. 

 I like this picture of mine. Too much depth in it.

Annd thats that!

I hope you guys have a great weekend ahead.

Lots of love

Tan Removal At Home

Hello ladies!

Summers are here with a big bang. We all love the shiny happy bright summer days. But every good thing in this world comes with glitches. To full fill that we have got TAN, pfft. The amount of precaution we have to not get tan is ridiculous. From sunsceens, to scarves , glares  all start to become your top most priority. But somehow you still tend to get it. If you look up on the internet there are several ways to get rid of tan at home. I use the following 3 and trust me they work wonders.

1)TOMATO
                               
Yes! Tomato is the best tan remover. Just cut a fresh tomato in pieces and rub it on your skin for 5mins. Leave it to dry. Wash it off with cold water after a few mins. Not only does it remove the tan but also gives your skin a fresh look.

2) Oats and Milk
                                    

Oats are considered to be the best exfoliating agents for the skin. Oats and milk are the best combination for tan removal. You could also try different combinations like oats +milk + honey  or  oats + cream + jojoba oil  or oats + yogurt.
Take about 2tbps oats : 1tbsp milk. Dont let the mixture be too runny or too dry.
Apply this pack on face and leave it for 15 mins. Wash it off with cold water.

3) Lemon and Honey
                                

Lemon is the best natural bleach. Not only does it remove the tan but also makes the skin lighter. Plain lemon juice leaves the skin dry. That is why it has to be mixed with  honey.
Take a half sliced lemon, squeeze and add about 1tbsp honey. Mix well. Take a cotton sob and apply it. Leave it for 15 mins. Wash it with cold water.

IMPORTANT TIPS TO TAKE CARE :

Home remedies are no doubt the best and the safest. But there are a few things you need to bear in mind.

1) Before applying any pack, ALWAYS wash your face with cold water and tap it dry. Leave it a but moist.

2) Always check for which elements suit your skin the best.

3) While making oat packs, keep in mind to not over use oats as they can be abrasive on the skin and may leave mild rashes. Opt for powdered oats instead.

4) To remove the pack entirely and not create a huge mess, take a cloth and dip it in water and then wipe your face. Then wash your face with water and tap dry.

5) Use moisturizer after any treatment on skin. This helps in retaining the water in your skin and keep it fresh.

That's it. I really hope you find these tips useful.
