Review: Skinfood Gold Kiwi Cream

Today I'm going to write about something I love talking about, and yet have not posted about in years - skincare! I adore skincare, be it the meditative act of applying it, the research that goes into studying a new product before shortlisting it, and the science-backed research I try to do before making a purchase decision. For the Skinfood Gold Kiwi Cream, I did no research at all. And yet it has become one of my most loved products.

Review - Aplava.com

Hi guys! Now I don't often post on beauty products and suchlike, but I just HAD to write about this place. Two reasons, mainly.

One, a lot of you have asked me to write about skincare and haircare - products as well as styling tips (thank you all for the compliments on my hair!).

Sudden cravings for bubble tea. Friend wanted Chinese.
What combines the two? Wok Express, that's who.

I've been here ever so many times but never really got around to reviewing it. It's awesome how some places just evoke certain feelings in you, irrespective of how much time has passed after your last visit.

It's a little place and you might just miss it if you don't keep an eye out. We almost didn't find it! Though we walked a little bit along 16th Road and saw it tucked away.
 
It's a cozy place - not too much space inside though. But with real estate prices being what they are, it's alright, I'm sure. And the lighting is such that it throws direct focus on the food. 

There is just one menu in the joint - blown up huge and put up on the wall. Each offering is creatively named and the fixins' described below the name. You will want to order all of it.
 
There are way more non vegetarian options as compared to veg, so that's not very good in my books. But the drinks! Divine!

Kala Ghoda Cafe is in a little lane close to Jehangir Art Gallery. It's tucked away, and you might miss it if you don't know the area. Just follow google maps to get there, it's quite precise. Also, La Folie is right opposite, so pop in there too, if you've got some time. You'd love it.

Restaurant Review - 24/7 Restaurant - The Lalit, Mumbai

I always love going out and finding new places to eat. It's one of my favorite things to do. So you can imagine how awesome I felt when I was invited for a tasting session at The Lalit, Mumbai as part of a Culinary Challenge. But before the session, we popped over to the 24/7 restaurant and proceeded to partake of the buffet there.

Warning: Lots of yummy pictures. Will make viewer hungry. Proceed with caution.
