As “Authentic” as it can be…Lucknowee…Restaurant Review!
One of the hidden gems of Dubai…Lucknowee restaurant at Al Karama is a small cozy family restaurant with a Royal themed ambiance. They have an interactive open kitchen concept which is basically the tandoor section of the kitchen. Thinking of dining at “Lucknowee” consider trying everything on the menu. The restaurant serves few dishes but the best ones from Lucknow. There is “Tunday Kebab” which is basically the best kebabs in Dubai. Most dishes have their accompaniments which would make your ordering simpler. Limited but the best is on their menu and every bit of it is worth trying. Each preparation brings out its own distinct flavors and appearance. Most…
Kibsons…A Perfect Online market for your “Special Occasions”!
Kibsons has become a convenient online marketplace for all groceries for all nationalities but who knew you could celebrate your special moments with Kibsons too. I had noticed this last year when we received a box of sweets on Diwali which was bought from Kibsons and believe me….it could not be more Indian and traditional than that. So this year my husband gifted me a beautifully decorated box of a large heart-shaped Cake and an enormous bunch of “Red Kenyan Roses”. This was a brownie cake with small minty hearts all around it and the roses came in a huge cardboard vase. The entire arrangement could not be more beautifully…
Build Immunity…Go Fish! Delicious and Healthy Rava Fish recipe!!
I have always been a huge fan of a well-cooked fish. Have almost tried all kinds available in India and now since i had moved to Dubai i am exploring a few more kinds. King Fish or Surmai or Seer fish (there are many more names of this fish in India itself) is one of the most common and easily available fish in Dubai. Kingfish is highly recommended since it’s the perfect solution to build immunity with Fatty Acids, an extremely good source of Vitamin D, Iodine, Iron, and protein. I have tried various ways of preparing King Fish..however, I would like to share one of the most delicious ways…
No Less than a Christmas Miracle- The Korean Skincare!
“Korean Products” although hasn’t gained confidence among us, but sure is ruling the World with their natural and harsh-free products. Korean beauty believes in extremely natural skincare..in fact, their masks can be almost recreated at home. There are multiple Korean brands in the market; Korean skincare follows its traditional old methods and its rich beauty legacy is believed to be passed down from generations and generations. Korean beauty follows a long sequence for skincare procedures which is a minimum of 10 steps, these steps are the only way towards glass-like hydrated skin. However, recent articles read by me indicate that it’s not necessary to follow all 10 steps, you can…
“Nyx”- The Greek Goddess of Night… NYX Professional Makeup!
My recent collection of lip colors has been dominated by NYX Professional makeup. I picked up a single nude shade but could not resist buying a few more vibrant colors which can be used either as a lip color or as an eye shadow for a glittery evening (as per the sales associate at their store). A little about NYX…This is an American company that is a subsidiary of L’Oreal and is named after the Greek Goddess of Night. As the name states, they have beautiful shades available with a wide range of vegan-friendly products. And the best thing is that NYX professional makeup is cruelty-free and very much authorized…
Impress this holiday season with “imPRESS”…!
Let me share my splendid experience with a cost-effective “One-step Gel” which is easily available at any hypermarket/supermarket near your home. This set with 30 nails costs less than AED 50 and is super safe. imPRESS (Press on Manicure) comes in various colors and is mostly in square-round shape. You would mostly find each with one color and one additional color option with limited nails. However, there are certain kits available with multicolored designs. The Kit includes 30 nails with 6 accents and a pre pad with a small wooden stick which is used later on for removing each nail. It is a 10 minutes work but must be applied…
Beautiful Hair – Pure and Simple way!
In my previous blog, I had shared my experience of “Kerastase” which although is a blessing for my hair but is not a very regular cost-effective option. Hence, I decided to venture into OGX, a brand that uses exotic ingredients and they approach each hair type with a specific solution. Now with OGX, the most important criteria are that they do not address various hair issues to sell their brand instead promote the purity and the ingredients of each product which in turn helps you to buy the brand as per your preference and liking. OGX does mention the benefits each of their products bring in but it’s on you…
All that Glitters is not Gold…Its Swarovski!
Daniel Swarovski’s vision was to create “A Diamond for Everyone”…and he did. Swarovski offers luxury via its exclusive jewelry and accessories. These are unique creations with crystals. I have personally always loved Swarvoski crystals since they are low maintenance and are available in various designs and colors that could add glitter and sparkle to every outfit. I have three of each kind and are my very own favorite out of my entire Swarovski collection. These pieces are from different collections and are remarkable crystals collected over a period of time. Every collection they offer is with a purpose and significance and is always better than their previous collection which makes…
