Recipe: Nutella Vanilla Frost


Now tell me, who doesn't love nutella?! That also in a chiller shake form, best way to beat the heat! I tried this recipe via trial and error but turned out really good! Do give it a try. Warning: it's a little addicting!! ;) 

Ingredients: (serves 1 person)

3 scoop vanilla ice cream
1 tbsp nutella
3 wafers of your choice (I used hazelnut flavored to complement the nutella)
1 cup milk (you can use low/full fat)
chocolate syrup as required

Method:






Get all your ingredients ready to blend. It just makes life easier, instead of you jumping from one corner of your kitchen to the other.   
                                                             






Once your ingredients are ready. Pour the milk, vanilla ice cream, nutella and wafers into the blender. Blend for 2-3 minutes until shake texture forms.








Drizzle the chocolate syrup into your serving cup while rotating the cup to form a messy texture around the corners of the cup. Then, pour your shake and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Top the shake with extra crushed wafers and chocolate syrup.

Recipe: Crepes !!

Now tell me who doesn't love a share of crepes!! I'm going to share an amazing yet simple recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup full fat milk
3 whole eggs
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
½ tsp vanilla essence
Filling as per personal preference

Method:


Take a bowl and mix the flour with milk until no lumps are visible. 


Then add the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract and mix. Later, add the melted butter. Grease a pan with butter and place it on low to medium heat. Using a round spoon pour the batter onto the pan. Twist the pan around to form a thin and equally spread layer. Once the bottom side turns golden-ish brown flip your crepe over and cook the other side for a minute or two.


Once your crepes are ready. Spread some nutella and fold the crepes twice to make bite size portions. 
Remember you can fill the crepes as desired. Options are: nutella with bananas and honey, cheese, jam, peanut butter, assorted nuts, fresh fruits etc..

Voila!! yummy crepes are ready to be served!!

Product Review: Evian Mineral Water Facial Spray!

In the hot summer heat having a cool sensation to refresh the skin is what we all crave for. Evian has gifted us with their bottled mineral water that comes in a convenient spray form which makes any day a spa day!! This heaven comes in three sizes: mini travel pack, medium and large. A perfect treat for the on-the-go lifestyle! 
Made up of pure and natural spring water from the French Alps, this product is lightweight and dries quickly. When sprayed over the  skin it sinks in deep to bring back lost moisture by hydrating the outer layer of skin and awaken dull looks. Great for moisturizing and setting up make up. I love this product, it is Ahhhmazing!  Works good without emptying your wallet ;) 




Definitely worth a try if you need a quick pick me up!! Available at all drugstores and pharmacies!

The death of another star!!

Glee Star- Cory Monteith
I wasn't a huge fan of Glee or actor Cory Monteith, but it is sad to hear that the 31 year old passed away over the weekend. The actor was found dead on July 13th in his room at the Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver, Canada. It is seriously heartbreaking to see another human say goodbye to this dangerous world. Our prayers and love to the family. RIP Cory!

Here is a report by msn explaining the cause of Cory's death

Summer Fashion Trend: Crop Tops

A recent trend I've noticed on the runway and various shopping outlets are the Crop Tops. This basic simple wardrobe item screams SUMMMMERRRR!! There is nothing wrong with showing a little skin, you can show off one even if you don't have the perfectly toned stomach muscles. Make sure not to go overboard with showing the skin. A little is always good.

Product Review: The Body Shop Vitamin C Facial Radiance Programme

I recently paid a visit to The Body Shop. I get attracted to this shop because their products are known for their natural ingredients (I'm not sure if 100 percent organic). Recently, I have noticed my skin feeling a little dull and tired due to irregular sleeping patterns and work schedule. I told the lady at the Body Shop that I was looking for something that could give some boost to my tired skin and she was kind enough to recommend the Vitamin C Facial Radiance Programme. It is said to awaken dull skin in 10 days. It contains vitamin C- rich Amazonian camu camu, Community Trade shea butter, brazil nut oil and aloe vera as per packaging description. I bought the kit on sale for AED 145.
