Dunkin Donuts Review

A spectacular opening is what we all experienced at the recently launched Dunkin’ Donuts store at Phoenix Market City, Viman Nagar. It was a well-planned event the highlight being the free donuts coupons for a year. The crowd was eager and ecstatic and they weren’t disappointed. :) 

The store isn’t very big however it is comfortable. I particularly liked the upholstered sofas as it gave a warm feel.  The staff was friendly and courteous. One doesn’t need to wait long for their order to be processed, the team is well-trained and efficient.

A much awaited variety for sweetoholics, Dunkin Donuts offers an array of different and yummy flavours. You just can’t stop at one. ;)

Great Packaging, good quantities and oh so flavourful is what completes Dunkin Donuts. Plenty to choose from each donut is a must try, well maybe not in one go. ;)

I personally loved their Death By Chocolate, it melts in your mouth and is absolutely sinful. Another favourite is the Very Very Blueberry. If you are a berries fan this one you can’t miss. The white chocolate ganache feels like heaven with a mix of the blueberries.

Dunkin Donuts is a must visit and it is going to be worth it.

Outfit for radically different ocassions!

A quick trip to the grocery store and a work meeting thereafter had me thinking on my outfit and what would suit both the occasions. Not that I don't think and think about what to wear each single day, yet grocery and a formal meeting don't necessarily happen on the same day!!! ;)

So, this is what I wore:-

Maroon Pants - Vero Moda

Tee Shirt - Zara

Jacket - Quirk Box

Ballerinas - Much More

H2O Second Store Launch

What a fun Wednesday it was!!! I got invited to the launch of the best hair salons in the city. Hair 2 Order or H2O as it is popularly known opened their second salon in Bibewadi. The best part it is super close to my home so plenty of more pampering sessions in store for me!! Yay yay.

The ambience is hip and happening just like the team at H2O. The warmth and friendliness, the staff exudes is mind blowing.. One feels pampered even before you try out any of the services. Sounds blissful right??

So for the launch anyone who walked in was offered a free service - a blow dry, foot massage, face clean up, express manicure pedicure etc. I opted for a foot massage and since I hung around long enough also got my hair washed and blow dried. So end result - top to bottom I felt good.

Must Try:-

 

* Spa Pedicure and Manicure - you are made to sit in those super cool massage chairs where you get a back massage while your hands and feet are cleaned up.

The entire experience is wonderful, luxury salons do spoil you that way. ;) Each service has a unique personalised touch attached to it and you come back feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Outings and Outfits!!

Being a Mom comes with its pros and cons.. First and foremost the idea of going out is completely changed. Especially, if you are in a nuclear family pubbing and clubbing is entirely dependant on relatives or amazing friends. While we have both with God's Grace yet every time trying to organise it is not easy.

So, coming back to outings I have to make peace with whenever I get to step out. Most frequently of course is grocery shopping with the monthly Parent Teacher's Meetings coming a close second.

 

So here is what I wore to my son's PTM at school.

Pants - Vero Moda

Shirt - Van Huesen

Waistcoat - Bare Denim

Bag and Shoes - Zara (not shown in the pic)

P.S - the pic isn't great as it was pouring outside so couldn't step out.. ;)

Gals Night Out!!

So amidst the hectic months of August and September I was dying to head out for an all night of girlie fun and frolic. It's been a trying time personally as well as on the work front. Work highs and lows were draining me out and I badly needed to unwind. :)

Since it was a girls night out it was a perfect chance to pull out the dresses, peep toes and make up. Yippee.

What I wore:

• Vero Moda strappy floral printed Maxi.

• Black oversized clutch from Giorgio Armani

• Black peep toes from catwalk

Since the girls were to let their hair down, the dress was a perfect choice. As such I love long dresses, they suit my body type and add to the feel good factor for me.

Forest Essentials Face Scrub Review

Forest Essentials tag line itself says, “Luxurious Ayurveda” so, how can their products be anything but that. The products appearance and packaging is so superb that it makes us swoon in anticipation of the actual product.

I have been a die-hard fan of their Kashmiri Walnut Scrub and would blindly buy that everytime, till a friend suggested to try their Hand Pounded Organic Fruit Scrub. Well, I wasn’t disappointed.

Texture – The scrub has a smooth no granule consistency so works well on my sensitive skin. Easy to apply as it is in the form of a thick paste and one can scrub even a little harder to exfoliate well.

Key Ingredients -  The word fruit itself appealed to me when i went to the store to buy it online. A mix of peaches, walnut, apricot and dates the scrub is rich in fruits and herbs. It also contains glycerin which is a natural moisturizer and keeps the skin soft and supple. It also has Vitamin E oil which is a natural anti-oxidant and protects the skin from Ultra Violet rays.

Quantity & Pricing - The scrub's quantity is 50 grams and it can easily last you for a month even if you use it daily. You need to use very little for a superior effect, thus it lasts really long. The Fruit scrub is priced at 1450/- INR which is great value for money.

The scrub is enriching and invigorating. It exfoliates well and keeps you looking and feeling fresh all day. 

Styling Your Pink Outfits and Accessories

I know of very few girls who do not like the colour Pink. At least in some way or the other they have something pink in their wardrobe. :) Well, then you have the slightly obsessed chicks like me who cannot think beyond pink. I fell madly in love with the colour of Pink at the age of 3 and nothing has changed ever since. The Love Affair still continues and I just love exploring different shades of pink for different outfits and accessories. Sometimes, I am glad I don’t have a daughter for I know that it would have been a fight to share my pink stuff with her. Yeah, it does put me in bad light but what the heck? I just love the colour and anything in pink, be it pants, tops, shoes, bags I love them all. :)

For me Pink is the closest it can get to white when I am looking for calm and peace. It makes me feel pretty and confident at the same time. Anyone who loves beauty in its purest form has to love pink. It is a combination of Red and White colours. It combines both the energies, the calm and strength of white and red offers the potential to achieve anything.

So this is how I style my pink clothing and accessories -http://www.fashionlivemedia.com/style-pink-clothes-accessories/

Famous Designers like Valentino and Alexander Wang are also known to have played with the colour of Pink for bridal wear as well. How pretty is that? Varying from baby pinks, blush to hot pink all shades of pink were explored in the collection.

Pink never fails to give me a princess like feeling when I am feeling down and out. It instantly lifts my mood and I feel cheered up and forget my problems.
