EASY BREAD PUDDING RECIPE!

Weeks ago I went to a restaurant and tried bread pudding.Me and my mom loved it so much, that I thought I should try my hands on making a similar kind of a bread pudding. I then searched for various recipes on various websites, but I was satisfied with none. And then I finally decided that I'll try making it as my version. I hope you guys love it, and if you make it, don't forget to tag me on the picture!

BREAD PUDDING RECIPE!

INGREDIENTS:
10 to 12 cups of milk bread cut into small cubes
2.5 cups of milk
2.5 cups of fresh cream
1 tbsp softened butter
1 cup granulated white sugar
6 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
 *OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS*:
1tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup toasted nuts
lemon or orange zest
FOR THE GARNISH:
chocolate flakes or fresh cream


METHOD:
Make sure there are no edges on your bread cubes.

Grease a baking dish and arrange a layer of the bread cubes in it. If you are using the nuts or the raisins sprinkle on top of the arranged bread layer.

To make the custard, mix the milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and cinnamon(if using).

Pour it on the bread layer. Keep layering the bread cubes and the custard alternating, making sure that the last layer of custard is a little above the last layer of the layer bread cubes.

Cover the baking dish with an aluminum foil or a cling wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight so that all the bread cubes soak in the custard.

Remove the foil or the cling, and bake the pudding at 325 for 45 to 55 minutes until the top is beautifully golden brown. also, to check if it is done, when you insert a toothpick in the middle of the pudding it should come out nice and clean!

Wait for 10 to 15 minutes until it cools a bit.

Garnish the dessert with either chocolate flakes or fresh cream and it is ready to serve!

So that was my version of the bread pudding. Do not forget to tag me, and also to share this recipe!

Nexcare Face Cleansing Pads

Winters are back again. Which means upgrading your skin care routine.
So i was at my local grocery store the other day, searching for a good scrub to get rid of the dry skin on my face. Just then, i got my hands on these cleansing pads. There are all together 6 pads in one package. And it is very economical as the price is just Rs 50.

Talking about the information on the package, i would say that it is clear enough to understand, as it very esay to use.
These pads are water based. And these pads are supposed to lift off the dry dulling skin cells, make up, dirt and excess oil. They leave the skin smooth and soft and the pads are dermatologically tested too.

Usage wise, one pad is to be used for a single wash. They are easy to use, and travel friendly. These pads have a kind of soap in them. When you start working it on your wet face, the pad starts to lather up.

What i honestly feel about these face cleansing pads is that, they actually work very good. If you have dry or oily skin, it will help you. When i used it, i could feel that the dry skin from my face has removed and my skin felt oil free. I am not sure if i would recommend this product to a person with very sensitive skin, but if you have a dull skin or dry or oily skin, i guess you should definitely give it a try. And as you use one pad, the colour of it changes from peach to white, which i guess is because of the soap present in it.

Over all, i believe this product is a good buy!

Jojo moyes book review!

Today's blog is all about a review on Jojo Moyes' books Me abefore You and After You. After You is a sequel Me before You. Both the stories are very beautifully written. It will surely make you grab a tissue for all thoses tears you will shed.

Taking about Me Before You, most of us might have already watched the movie adapted from the book. But to be honest, you will love the book more than the movie. As for the book, it retails for 399 indian rupees, and has 497 pages of the total story. The cover of the book has the  main star cast of the movie, Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin, where Emilia plays the role of Louisa Clarke and Sam plays the role of Will Traynor.

The story revolves around a girl, Louisa, who works for the Traynors after she loses her job at the buttered bun bakery. She is full of life and very 'chatty'. Her only aim at work is to make Will happy and make him live. But however, she fails and Will goes to Dignitas. I would personally  rate this book 4/5.

After You, is more on the complex side in Louisa's life. She moves her house and lives alone in an apartment in a new city, where neither she knows anyone, nor does anyone else knows about her. She works in a bar at the airport. She hate her job because of her boss, but cannot do anything about that as she really needs the job.  On night she encounters with a girl named Lilly, who apparently is Will's daughter. From then, her life completely changes. This story, where the author is showing Louisa's life after the death of Will Traynor is more sad and depressing. I would personally rate this book 2.5/5.

Small drugstore make up haul!

I have been shopping a lot lately. Because after all, it's a kind of a therapy for us ladies, isn't it!? so out off all the things that i bought, there a few drugstore makeup products.  I thought why not share my views on them. So here's a small review on each of the products that I had bought. Starting of i bought 3 products from revlon, which are the revlon colorstay moisture stain, the new revlon dramatic definition massacred, and lastly, the revlon photo ready 3D volume mascara. Talking about the moisture stain, i would say that it's a good product, with an impressive pigmentation. When you apply it, your lips feel very hydrated and moisturized. Application wise, it is very easy to apply as well. the shade that i bought is 202 - Rio Rush

The dramatic definition mascara is like my new love! It gives so much drama to the lashes after application, that you don't have to apply and falsies!

Talking about the photo ready 3D volume mascara, it is also a very good product. Except for the fact that I feel that it takes a little time to dry. It does not give the lashes any sort of a drama as such, butI  believe that the lashes look a little voluminous.

I have never actually got my hands on any of the NYX products until when i saw that this eye shadow palette was on a crazy offer! I wasn't in the mood of buying any sort of a makeup product, but when I saw the offer, I thought lets change the plans. So this palette has 3 colors. The first color is like a little bit peachy white, the second color is a shimmery ash, and lastly the third one is matte black. The palette number is LR01. I believe that it is very handy and travel friendly, as the size of the package is very small.

Max factor is also another brand that I never actually used. I may have used it but I quiet not sure about it. So when I was roaming in the store, I found this beautiful pink lipstick that I thought I must buy it. I literally love the packaging. It looks very classy and chic. Application wise, it is very creamy and very subtle. It leaves your lips feeling very hydrated. It one of those products that you can wear it when you don't want to actually wear a lot of makeup. The shade I have is the ETERNAL FLAME 630.

talking about the brand I have never or i may have tried, there is another product that i bought, which is the bourgeois regard paillete sparkling eyeliner. i havent actually used the product but when i was in the store, i swatched it and to be honest, I immediately  felt that i should buy it no matter what. it is a beautiful blue color shimmery eye liner pencil. the shade is 36 LAGON ENSOLEILLE.

The last two products that i bought are the boreal color riche eye color pencils in the shades 06 DELICATE BEIGE and 10 SUGAR VANILLA. to be honest, i have never actually used eye color pencils before. but when I saw them I thought maybe i will not buy them. but when I swatched them onto my hand, I was like, girl, you gotta buy that pencil! they are so beautiful, that you can wear them every day!

so that is what I basically bought. And honestly, I am loving them. Give this blog a like if you think I should put up more of these kinds of blogs!

footwear for broad feet

Are you guys one of those who has broad feet? I too have really broad feet. And most of the time I end up wearing flats or shoes to hide the ugly broad feet. But now I have kinda figured it out what actually suits on my feet. If you want to know the solution, well I guess you are in the right place!
I never felt insecure about my feet until i wanted to buy some really good sandals. Any ways, here are some of my suggestions that you can try for yourself and decide these footwear for your broad feet.

1. Pointed shoes
The best footwear that can probably suit the best on your feet are the pointed shoes. They are going to become your best shoes of footwear. These shoes literally transforms the whole broadness into beauty.







2. Wide strap sandals
These type of sandals with wide straps will not only make your feet hide, but also will make them look a little less wider. I guess they are going to be your best friends too!









3. Heels
Just like diamonds, heels are a girl's best friend. Heels literally makes way more lot of difference than any of the other shoes. They not only make your feet look less wider, but also beautiful.







4. Shoes
These are the best thing to hide that wideness from the feet.

Review on KROLAN TL4

Hey guys! I know I haven't blogged in a while. And its all because of my college work. So now finally after so long, I thought it's time to blog. My schedule these days is so hectic that i dont even get time to blog or sometimes even clean my room. If you guys go through such a situation too, then give this blog a like!

 In one of my blogs earlier, I mentioned about this translucent yellow colour powder, and i thought that i should give  you guys my review on it.

So starting off, this powder retails for 400 Rs, which I think is a good buy. It comes in this blue colour card board box.

Application wise, you can apply this with a sponge, a beauty blender or even with a brush. I feel It makes your skin look a little radiant which is a good advantage, but if you see the bad part of this product, i think it makes your skin look dry. If you have dry skin, then may be you can try this product, only if you put a good layer of moisturizer on your face. I have a really oily skin, and i dont like it even if i have a little amount of oil or dirt present on my face. So before applying it, i make sure my face is nicely washed (to remove the oil or any kind of dirt) . I then put a little amount of my neutragena greese free oil and after all of this, I finally apply the powder. The reason i apply the moisturizer is so that it stays on place. Now you guys must be thinking on what's the whole point of washing the oil away from my face when i am going to apply a moisturizer anyway? Well, this moisturizer by neutragena is greese free, which makes it matte on the skin. 

So yeah! That's my review on this powder. I hope you guys like it!

Review on sunsilk insta highlights

Hello everyone! I recently went out for some shopping, and as I was looking out for my daily shampoo, I found this really cool thing that came free with one of the sunsilk shampoos I use. I thought I would give it a try and share my reviews with you. So here we go!





This product, sunsilk insta highlight, which was free, is good for those who want to try some cool experiments with their hair. I bought this product in November, and used it quite a few times. For me, to be honest, this product is worth a free product because firstly, it gives a really cool look on you, and lastly, it doesn't stay for too long. this product is obviously a temporary hair color, but I guess, it vanishes a little too quickly. I haven't even felt any reaction sort of a thing happening with my hair. To those of you who use sunsilk, I think you guys should buy the pack with this offer and give it a try.



I don't know about the colors it is available in. I have got the copper color.  It is pretty cool, and it gives some nice shimmer to the hair, and is very easy to use as well. Overall this product is great for people who want to try a bronzy coppery shade on their hair before getting it permanently colored. Comment below if you have already tried such aproduct  earlier, or if you want to try it!

2015 favorites!

Hey folks! First off, happy new year! Since 2015 is over and everybody are talking about their 2015 favourites, I thought I would share a few of my favourite things from 2015 too.

Starting off, for my beauty products i have to say that the loreal hair serum has done wonders to my hair. I dont feel the need for setting my hair after i apply it. Like seriously guys, its a must buy.

Nivea lotion has been my favourite not only for its light and soft texture but also its smell!

For the face, I have been using neutrogena  oil free moisturiser and I literally love it. It is so amazing! It literally keeps my face oil free.

For the lips, I have been using a couple of different kinds of lip balms. Some of them that I remember are, the strawberry flavoured lip balm from the born lippy collection from bodyshop, berry crush from baby lips maybelline(though i don't really like it but it is still a good product)


I also used the essential care lip balm from nivea, which i didn't like it because of it melts. but the product is good.



And for the days when I did not have any lip balm, i used argan balm from josie maran. Now, to be honest this product is also one of the best products. It moisturises your lips and it can be used if you have dry skin. This product seriously does wonders to the skin!

In the make up section, my favourite products are the concealor and the translucent powder from Kryolan. The products are simply amazing.



 The blush from givenchy in the shade prisme is also my favourite because of its beautiful pink cum peachy shade.



And for the lips, I used a lipstick from loreal, in the shade rambling rose, and it  has been my best friend. Though this shade is highly pigmented and dark, I apply it super light so that the pink shade makes my lips look naturally pink.

The perfume from guess and red musk from body shop have been my favorite perfumes.








I recently started using the bb cream from garner, and i just love it! It is very light and transparent.



These were some of my daily products that i used in 2015.
