I picked up 2 really nice things from the Forest Essentials shop...one, a cool foot soak...its smells like heaven...a heady mixture of sandalwood and rose (and its not a corny 'commercial' scent either! its amazing!!!) and a Rani Padmavati body scrub...its pink...it works well its in a huge tub and the whole room smells of roses for hours...its really refreshing. Each time i enter my bathroom, just looking at these 2 products makes me feel happy!<br /><br />I'll put up the pictures in a bit!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2124390583851948899-5180109667756143503?l=cheerfulthings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pritikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14686078128518438460noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124390583851948899.post-11322383034743348302008-05-24T23:49:00.000-07:002008-12-11T22:04:00.405-08:00<div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ere9Fer8MI4/SDkPAH-EoeI/AAAAAAAAACE/9gBKSgU1sLk/s1600-h/mary_kay_yoga.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204207339217134050" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ere9Fer8MI4/SDkPAH-EoeI/AAAAAAAAACE/9gBKSgU1sLk/s320/mary_kay_yoga.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>1.

Add a dash of salt. Stir fry for about 5 minutes. Throw in strips on finely sliced smoked chicken salami (there are plenty of varieties available at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">spencer's</span> in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">gurgaon</span>.) Add one tablespoon of oriental <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">chilli</span> sauce and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">le</span> it fry again till you feel the chicken's soaked up the flavours of the green <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">chilli</span>, tomato and the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">chilli</span> sauce, by this time it should be looking and smelling great!<br /><br />Whisk the eggs lightly again before pouring em on to the non-stick pan. As soon as the eggs settle thickly onto the pan, its a perfect time to pop the garlic bread into the pop-up toaster. Let the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">omellete</span> cook for a bit, then fold, turn off the flame and serve with lightly buttered garlic bread!<br /><br />Have a great breakfast!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2124390583851948899-9010438132418556289?l=cheerfulthings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pritikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14686078128518438460noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124390583851948899.post-89296180299310346002007-04-17T08:25:00.000-07:002008-12-11T22:04:00.645-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ere9Fer8MI4/RiTpiKAPYDI/AAAAAAAAABw/sxe7Envtgh8/s1600-h/all-chocolate.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054421454826725426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ere9Fer8MI4/RiTpiKAPYDI/AAAAAAAAABw/sxe7Envtgh8/s320/all-chocolate.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>A quick way to prepare a recipie for happiness...</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I came upon it by pure chance and ofcourse because of my love for chocolate, i was divinely, intuitively guided towards the taste of heaven...</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Buy some cooking chocolate, surprisingly, cadbury's sells it, but sadly, its really hard to find :( if you live in gurgaon, you'll find it at needs the supermarket..</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>okay, here goes (the measuring ingredient here is love)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>heat the cooking chocolate in a non-stick pan (don't use regular chocolate unless its very rich and good quality because local indian chocolate won't melt)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>add some butter in it...</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>sugar (nearly half a cup should do if you're making for one or two people)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>add a pinch of salt...</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>stir with a wooden spoon</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>add some milk if you're feeling the love :D</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>throw in some walnuts and cashewnuts</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>and turn off from the flame. before the mixture can cool and settle, pour it in white tea or coffee mugs and dive into temptation :)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Have a happy dessert! :)</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2124390583851948899-8929618029931034600?l=cheerfulthings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pritikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14686078128518438460noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124390583851948899.post-88815345508273196142007-03-27T03:53:00.000-07:002007-03-27T04:08:13.503-07:001.
