HAVE A SINISTER HALLOWEEN!

To celebrate the spirit of all things scary, black and skull-y, I thought I'd share two quick halloween ideas. And yes, that is an actual skull with popcorn in it. Pretty nifty right! (If you get past the whole this-thing-was-once-covered-with-blood-and-gore concept)


TIP #01.

You need:
  • Empty bottles
  • Orange soda
  • Printer
Ask your local grocer for empty bottles and clean them out like a champ. Wrap theme apt labels around the base of the bottle and fill those empty bad boys up with some orange soda. There you go! You have your very own orange potion drink thingy. You can experiment with multiple colours and label options. We went with things like 'Boo' and 'Drink me if you dare'. You could also label them with names of made-up potions. Like amazeballingitus...(that sounds like a disease although, so maybe not that one)

Alternatively you could also wrap similar labels around individual straws. Sip me if you dare!


TIP #02.

You need:
  • Plastic cups
  • Oreo biscuits
  • Ice cream sticks

Crush a packet of oreo biscuits using a wooden dowel (stress reliving tips anyone?). Pour the mixture evenly into small plastic cups. (There are tons of shapes and designs available in the market these days) Pop in ice cream sticks with the words RIP written on top and you have your very own edible graveyard! 

So there you go! Have a sinister halloween you guys. And a great weekend.

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...
