Angelbubbles Spoon Rest Holder

Hello readers, Most of you are aware of the fact that I absolutely love reviewing and testing products. But very few of you must be aware that I am a passionate food blogger as well. I also have a food blog where I share my tried tested and self-created recipes with the world. Duties of a food blogger requires spending ample time in the kitchen which I do. Most of the time would find me in the kitchen trying new dishes and experimenting with new ingredients. But my duties don’t end here. I am also a mother so have to look after the needs of my daughter, as well as prepare the setup to capture stunning photos of the dishes to showcase on my food blog, along with working my magic in the kitchen. With so many things to take care of simultaneously, often my mind wanders off and I end of placing cooking spoons/ladles on the kitchen counter. With turmeric being the most common ingredient in Indian cooking placing the cooking spoon on the …

All their products are of high quality, but the real beauty lies in their affordable price range.

PleasingCare Sonic Rechargeable Skin Care Facial Cleansing Brush

Cleansing and exfoliating skin effectively is an integral part my daily skin ritual which I have been following religiously, ever since I stepped into my 30’s. After all, the real struggle of keeping the sign of aging at bay, and making the skin beautiful and radiant, starts soon after you hit the mark on 25-30. If you fall into this group, you would understand better what I am talking about! So, to pamper my skin, I have been putting my hard earned money into buy the best cleansers, exfoliators, and scrubs,  but sadly, even with all the money and efforts I have been putting, my skin tends to break out every now and then.  I have had a hard time figuring where was I lacking or what was I doing wrong! Last week, at my friends party, I met her aunt who also happens to be a beautician. While we were getting to know each other, she noticed the redness all over my face and asked me about it. When I told her about my skin condition, …

DBPOWER Magnetic Block Set

Very unique and innovative blocks, based on the concept of traditional building blocks, but even more interesting and fun to play with. It will helps your kids to master the skills that lay stronger foundation for a long time learning in all subjects, especially science and maths. My daughter, who is just 4, is head-over-heels in love with this magnetic block set. Before it’s arrival, she used to spend hours playing games or watching videos on iPad, but now she is so engaged with these blocks that she has hardly time to open her iPad, which is great! The blocks are so attractive with blight colors. Kids like them even more as, in comparison to the traditional blocks, these offer a nice change and who doesn’t like change?? huunnnn! The first question that popped into my head when these arrive was “Are they safe for kids?”. Well, I was pleased to read they they are! Made of food grade plastic they are totally safe for kids. Even if they end up putting it in mouth no …

XTAVA Collapsible Silicone Hair Diffuser for Blow Dryer

I am the kind of person who cherishes the last few minutes of sleep, when you are conscious, but just feel lazy enough to get up. I try to hold on to this as much as possible and the result is me waking up just 20 to 25 minutes before going to work. In these 20-25 minutes, I have to get ready, put together breakfast and get my kiddo ready for day care. OH Gosh…Imagine me struggling with catching up on all the fronts in the morning! This leaves me with no time to let my hairs dry naturally so that I can style them the way I want, and this is when blow drying helps. I have thin, limpy and curly hairs. Blow drying makes my hairs even drier, difficult to tame, and frizzy! Not only that, but the heat of the blowdryer causes lot of damage, making hairs fragile.  I really wanted something that could give my limpy hairs bit of a volume to enhance the beauty, without causing so much of damage. …

XTAVA Pro-Satin Infrared Straightener – Professional Flat Iron with Tourmaline Ceramic Plates

I cannot express in words how much I adore straight hairs! This is the reason I never liked my natural hair, which are dry, thin, frizzy, and difficult to tame. With this thin texture, I never dared to try flat iron as I believed it would causes more harm than doing any good. The heat of flat iron, as you all must be aware, damages the surface of the hair and causes frizz, making them dry and weak. I did not want to further damage my locks. I must admit, couple of times, I even thought of getting my hair rebounded, but the thought of all the chemicals used during the process scared the hell out me, so I backed. This was the end of my aspiration! Recently, I got a chance to review XTAVA Infrared flat iron, which uses the infrared waves to straighnten the hair. I was bit hesitant to accept the opportunity, at first, but upon reading that this straightener locks in natural moisture, protects hair cuticles, and add silkiness and shine …

Orblue Herb Scissors, Food Cutter Shears with Five 3-Inch Blades

I love everything about cooking and baking, except for 2 things: One, Cutting the produce, especially herbs as they require lot of patience, which I lack, and time, which is too precious to spend like this. Second, doing the dishes afterwards. Well, the dishes part is well taken care of the dishwasher or my hubby…lol, leaving me with the cutting/chopping part. My food processor does help me with cutting/chopping, but the prob is the herbs, which even my food processor hates cutting…lol. I had been looking for some gadget to take care of the herbs making cooking/baking more fun for me, and recently stumbled upon ORBLUE 5 Blade Herb Scissor. I took no time to give it a thought and ordered it right away. The scissors arrived well packed in a plastic wrap…Easy to open, minimal packaging! The package outlined all the features of this handy little gadget, which is impressive! The scissors are made of food grade stainless steel making them totally safe to cut herbs or salad. The five blades are sharp and …

MIU Color 30oml Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser

MIU Color 300ml Aromatherapy Diffuser is a high quality diffuser with large water capacity that can generate mist throughout night without needing to refill! The spherical shape of this lovely diffuser is the first thing that caught my attention. The spherical ball shape is what makes this diffuser unique! The elegantly modern look goes well with the decor of my bed room and the compact size does not take much of the space on the night stand. With 7 color changing LED lights it also serves as a pretty night light. It works like any standard diffuser, but quality and feature wise it is a exceptional product. It can disperse the essential oil aroma into the air by converting it into micro-fine particles, making my room smell divine. It comes with a instruction manual that has all the information you would need to understand the functioning if you are using a diffuser for the first time. Unlike other diffusers I own, taking iff the top cover off was very easy, did not need to struggle …

Winters in Saskatchewan are terrible! The temperature goes down to as low as -40 degree Celsius, and the windchill makes it unbearable to stand out for even few minutes. With lots of slush, piles of snow and freezing temperature, the only rescue is to keep yourself bundled up in order to survive.

Ladies of the Lake by Ken Cordy #Ladiesofthelake

” Getting away with murder. Seems unlikely, but in the gated community of Avalon it’s what’s in style. It all starts with Hudson’s accidental decapitation. It was a terrible accident. He was drunk and in the middle of a fight with his second wife. They both pressed the garage door button at the same time. The LAPD didn’t give it a second thought. Instead of grieving, his wife breathes free air again. She is a rich woman with freedom. The other wives secretly envy her. From the outside, Avalon seems like the ideal place to live; full of rich men and beautiful women. Six couples form a close-knit friendship; the men all golf together, the women all shop together, and their six children all skip school together. But the wives begin to resent feeling like possessions and realize that the men become crueler every day. When more husbands start dying, the so-called “Ladies of the Lake” find themselves under suspicion from the LAPD and their own children. The six children try to uncover their parents’ …
