A CUPPA JO! : Chomutov


Hello!

This last week was one of the craziest i have had! I moved into my host family's house and they live in a small town called Chomutov, about 2 hrs away from Prague. It's a picturesque city filled with colourful buildings and red bricked houses. I was lucky to live in one of these typical European house. I got my own palatial room, one with a view to die for! I was so overwhelmed with joy that I had to pinch myself.
 
My beautiful host sister Terka.


I was welcomed with alcohol, obviously. A belnd of authentic Czech alcohol and herbs. 4 shots down, i was already feeling tipsy! 
They all looked at me and finally said 'Welcome to Chomutov'


 There were nights of crazy parties followed by early morning work. I hardly had time to breathe! Club after pub after cafe after bar! Phew! Soon it would be 5am, with the sun shining upon as and we would go to work.

 Such a week will always be remembered. The crazy Czech teens and the amazingly friendly and open Czech families will never be forgotten.

Tomorrow, I'm going back to Prague. Chomutov will be terribly missed. And, here's some purple to add to the awesomeness.



And my extended family!

MAKE IT | SPRAY PAINTED JAR CANDLES (part 02)

In a previous post , we made beautiful spray painted heart jars. Here is part two of the tutorial where I turn those same jars into decadent smelling candles. You need: Candle wax of your choice Candle wick Mason Jar (Follow the tutorial here ) Fragrance Oil  Before you begin, be sure you have the appropriate type and size of the wick. If your jar is wide, make sure wick is wide enough in diameter to burn optimally. And, if its narrow and long, make sure the length of the wick is sufficient enough.  Measure out the amount of wax needed. For this project, I melted the wax in a make-shift double boiler made from two metal containers—one small and one large. Fill water in the large container. Put the wax in the smaller container and place it in the larger one. Melt the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended! While the wax is melting, secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Dip the end in the melting wax and a...

THE MIXTAPE PROJECT / 01

I've been working on this series idea for a while now and finally it's here! The Mixtape Project, a series to document interesting people, their music choices and their personal quirk. Here is my first guest for today... MAYANK KUMAR / DELHI If you could pick one, which superhero would you be?  I don't really follow the superhero concept but if I had to, I guess i'd pick Batman. That's simply because of his sharp mind and his ability to solve humongous issues with just his mere intellect. What would your DJ name be?  Can't imagine myself behind a console wearing earphones bigger than my face. But I guess 'Max' would do? Or just M? What's your favourite joke?  A jealous haryanavi man opened his own momos shop right next to the famous 'Yo! China' and named it 'Yo! Bhi China'. What's the weirdest nickname people call you? Mickey. My first birthday cake had a Mickey Mouse on it. And that's where the name ...
