Christmas haul! | Blogmas

The winter smells, the brewing tea, the cosy shawls and warm hugs. There are a lot of things to love about this season. I got my hands on many such things and decided to do a mini christmas haul! Here are some things i am loving at the moment.

01. THE STARBUCKS CHRISTMAS MUG

What signals the onset of christmas better than sipping hot chocolate in that ever famous red cup. I'm not an ardent fan of Starbucks though (my initial experiences unsatisfactory) but reading about this festive cup on other blogs, made me crave to get my hands on one! 





2. SWEET FRAGRANCES

Walking around the mall one day, my nose decided to sniff this shop from way over there! (makes hand gestures to illustrate the distance between my nose and the shop). Rosemoore, is a fragrance shop all the way from UK. The scents are beautiful, perfect for keeping as well as gifting. We tested out the Vanilla, Lavender and Egyptian Cotton fragrances. Clearly my favourite ended up being the Egyptian cotton considering the bottle is hallway empty already!






3. THIS SWEATER!

This sweater is on this list for no other reason than the fact that i absolutely love it and managed to score it in the cheapest price possible! 300 Rs. for this beauty and I'm addicted. I try and wear it everywhere and with everything.







4. BRONZE ORANGE LIPSTICKS

 This lipstick was the most random buy of my life ever. I don't wear lipsticks, so this review comes more from my sister's brain than mine. It's a lovely colour and when i do wear it, i like that it's more nude than solid. Random best buy!
5. COSY SHOE SOCKS

 These are my favourite!!!! Hence the excess of exclamations. I've converted my sister and she too now prances around in a pair. The red is super festive and they are the perfect combination of fleecy and warm. I might just go ahead and buy a couple more. Only a few…






Hope you liked what i like this season. Here is a buyers guide for those interested to know what and where i got these things from...


  • Vanilla, Lavender and Egyptian Cotton fragrances : Rosemoore, Select Citywalk, New Delhi
  • Sweater: Janpath, New Delhi
  • Lipstick: Bronze Orange, Maybelline

FOR ONE | BANANA NUTELLA PANCAKES

*Ahem* Disclaimer: I am not addicted to Nutella. Yes, i may use it in all my recipes! And well…yes i do talk about it almost every other day. And i do really really like it. I still believe i am not addicted. So, there! I love recipes that yield one serving. Living on my own has enlightened me about the fact that there is no shame in asking the price of a single tomato or a few onions. And while all the recipes online come with family sized portions, i love when i can figure out the correct proportions to satisfy my lonesome hungry tummy.  I was in food heaven when i had tried these pancakes in Thailand. Did i mention I'd eat this every day? And thus, on a bored and sunny day, when i had not much to do but give my cat company, i decided to revisit the good ol' vacation days!  First attempt: Pancake utter fail. (Note: Never ever try and make pancakes on a burning hot stove. Just don't.) Second attempt: Hold on till i go devour these! ( Thanks to mother...

LOVING A NEW CITY #01

FIND FRIENDS.  Moving to a new city is substantially less scary when you have a friend along. Obviously, it does not take away the frustrating running around, but it does make things a whole lot easier. You'd want a friend when a broker calls you at a random hour to a random location, you'd need someone when your house floods because someone left the tap on and you'd especially need someone when you just want to laugh at a funny-annoying situation. It could be that one friend that moves in with you, or just someone you met at work..try and keep people closer when you're in a new city. I moved to Bombay along with a lot of other students from my batch. With everyone as lost as i was, it was easier to navigate things. I could not imagine getting used to the city on my own. I'd probably slip down the station stairs and no one would notice. (a long running inside joke with my first friend in Bombay!). So thank you those few first friends in Bombay and in Del...

A SILENT SCREAM

It's not easy to talk about something you aren't even sure exists. It's also not easy to talk about something that makes you different from others and in so many ways almost identical to them.  Sweaty palms, that sinking feeling in your heart, the panic that rises in your stomach and the fear that things will always go wrong no matter what. There isn't one name to this problem. I'm not really beating about the bush, nor am i wanting to name it outright. I've been through depression before. It could be the same this time, or completely different. i can't snap out of it. No matter how hard i try and no matter how many times i tell myself its going to be okay. It's like a living being that sits in my stomach and waits and waits.  I panic. I scream in my head sometimes and i just want to sit in absolute silence on most days.  I cope through it through food and through long spells of couch therapy. It's not really coping i guess…more li...
