    “Sainsbury” for your Comfort Food!

    Ever wished that when you crave your comfort food, ingredients were less complex and easily prepared. Well, sometimes such wishes do come true! I have been highly impressed by “Sainsbury’s” grocery items. They are one of the leading supermarkets in the UK and have a huge range of groceries. I have always been fond of their whole-wheat collection and their sauces, but recently I decided to try their Lasagna Sheets. In UAE, Sainsbury products are available at Kibsons (An e-commerce website for groceries, they have the best range of products and super efficient delivery system). Sainsbury offers a wide range of grocery items like any other supermarket however, they are…

    My New Obsession…Huda Beauty!

    As all my readers are aware, I have been a huge fan of Huda Beauty. I used to save up to buy Huda products back in India and its never let me down. My old post talks about one of their unique collections but today I have to highlight the New Liquid Matte Lipsticks that have been re-launched! Let me share with my readers why have I been obsessed with them. If you may have noticed or it’s my personal experience that the shades in the market are very rarely in tones of brown or red… it’s either a nice shade or bright shade of red or a single usual…

    Salicylic Acid for Acne! Do we really need this?

    I am sure I don’t need to give my insight on acne since it’s a common issue all of us face multiple times. Also, everyone has their take on getting rid of them, some use home remedies, for some a small drop of toothpaste works. However, what about the stubborn ones, how do we get rid of that acne. I myself run around for solutions and some of them don’t even make sense but I don’t hesitate to try. I was always more of a home remedy person, but recently I gained a little confidence in an ingredient that is “Salicylic acid”… I am not an expert on it but…

    The Greek way of Life!

    Since I have been away for too long I must share with my readers that I have been traveling and living my life in Greece! It was a much-needed break after the turmoil we all went through because of the pandemic. Greece, one of the most beautiful country ….the weather …the food…..its beauty ….or its culture……Greece is a must-visit for its people! This country really believes in “Guest is God”…the term I learned in the hospitality industry. Every town or city or a small village in Greece really knows how to treat its visitors well.

    Folklores – Artisan tales…Beautiful Handcrafted Jewellery at your doorstep!

    We have all appreciated and found comfort in the brands that we love, but there is so much more out there. These are small businesses that most of us don’t know exist and sell exclusive products mostly hand-made or self-designed. These products (as per my experience) are always reasonably priced and only seek out appreciation or financial help. The effort put into these businesses is genuine and the aim is to live in between the competition and provide the best of their capability. I have always supported the new small businesses be it the “Barefood Healthy Snacks” or Folklores…they always have so much to offer. The best part about them…
