All Good Scents review!

So, as I was whiling away some time one fine evening reading few blogs, I came across a couple of blogs talking about a website featuring perfumes and testers for a moderate price.

Headed to their site and saw a lot of interesting features like the perfume which might suit you  and the tester samples. Immediately chose two for me and one for the boy which I felt might suit us.
The product claims it is made in France and each one of them are different.

Opted for the COD option but, it charged Rs 50 extra for shipping while it said free shipping charges. Anyway, chose the netbanking option and paid Rs 165 altogether.
It took almost 6 days to reach and I was expecting the delivery. Well, it reached and the fragrances for each of the ones I ordered didn't let me down.

Here are the pictures.


The 3 scents : Love & Joy (yellow one), Chic (white one) and Urbane Nights (Black one).


Along with it came a booklet with the list of all their fragrances and a discount of 15 % on my next purchase. The fragrance is amazing and lasted for a really long time. The amount is less though. I'm definitely going to get the bigger versions of it. Nice buy overall.

Check out their site here.

P.S- This is not sponsored, I purchased with my own interest and wallet.
Until next time.

Palmfruit/ Nungu/ Ice Apple Chocolate milkshake

Palm fruit or Nungu is found a lot in India during Summers. The Palm fruit is a natural coolant and it contains many health benefits and also has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. It contains various vitamins too.

One such Summer's morning we were passing and found an array of vendors selling Palm fruit and we ended up buying it. We bought about 6 fruits for Rs 25 which was decent.

I've never liked to have the fruit as it is because of its slimy nature. However, hub had it and suggested I make a drink out of it.

I quickly took the blender, no measurements just eyeballed all the ingredients and had a refreshing delicious drink and I didn't feel the taste of the fruit at all. I liked to have it in the wine glass for some reason and I even got hold of a straw to get the summery effect.

Here's what I did.
Steps:
I added 3 nos of the fruit carefully peeled to a blender.
I added about 1/2 cup chilled milk to the blender along with some dark chocolate cubes.
For flavor and enhanced taste you can add 1 tsp of vanilla essence and 2 tsp of sugar.
Blend all this together for about 1 or 2 mins till it forms a milkshake consistency.
Pour in a glass and enjoy.

P.S- I did not add ice cubes, sugar and vanilla essence. You can add all of it for enhanced taste.

Here's a picture I managed to take.


 It was lovely and I will definitely try it again.

Until next time.
