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.
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..

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!
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!
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.
Having trouble getting some good night sleep?! Here are some tips that can help you get your beauty sleep and benefits that come along with a good sleeping routine.
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.

Have your friends ever told you that you look heavier or fat when you haven't even put on weight?! :S Worry not!! Here to your rescue, we are going to discuss some major causes of our worst nightmare "Facial Bloating" and ways to reduce it.
Okay, so it is Saturday night and super hot outside! My day was a little boring since there wasn't much to do, plus I was feeling like a stuffed potato..SUPER LAZY! Luckily my girlfriends saved me from the boredom to come and we hit the mall to watch "The Heat". We were so indecisive as to which movie to watch (The Heat or White House Down). Just because The Heat poster said 18+ we decided to go for that ;)
A must watch if you want some R-rated belly-laughs XD ! This movie is about this police & FBI duo trying to hunt down drug dealers. Lots n lots of woman bickering and good timing with the punchlines. It is always fun to watch women do some action!
Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock), an FBI agent ( her talent, a little intimidating to the men ), grabs the opportunity for a promotion by putting her FBI skills to a test. She is sent to Boston to hunt the king of drugs with the help of the local cops. But there is someone else who is in doubt of Sarah's work, police officer Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), a straightforward "#IWillSayWhatIWantTo #DareYouTouchMe" tough woman. With many differences to create tension, the two ladies put aside their differences and team up to catch the bad boys. Sarah is shown as a disciplined lady whereas Mullins is this tough, rude woman, you almost feel like she is ready to beat the shit out of everyone around! In the process, the two ladies end up becoming friends. With good comedy to tickle your funny bones they solve the case and get the bad boys to where they belong!
I wouldn't say this is a fantastic movie, but its worth the price. Here is the Trailer for you!
For a long time, I would click the favorite button and follow my favorite bloggers religiously and always wondered it took some balls to put your life out there and speak to the world!

The more I fell in love with reading blogs, the more I realized that I wanted to be a part of that community.
