  • At 32 and 42 #10yearchallenge . The first pic—my son was a 2 month old baby and I cooked up a Valentine’s Day special dinner for us and my best friend and her spouse. My hair was at its lustrous best and I would always choose brown or maroon lipsticks. The second pic at 42, my son is 10 (old enough to take a good photo of me) red lipstick is my best friend. Hair is no longer as good. I feel good in my skin and more confident than I have ever felt in my life.

  • When I realised my birthday was falling on a Sunday, I reserved for a Sunday brunch at Olive Beach so we could spend quality family time over great food and drink. I had heard plenty about @olivebeachblr Sunday brunch but given the distance, we hadn't tried this so far. . We read on menu that they have revamped their decade old brunch from a buffet to serving small plates, main courses and drinks on the table. Few desserts like the stunning looking brownie bite topped with caramel popcorn were on a cart but the churros and sourdough waffles were made to order. . The Khowsuey put together for by most attentive server Subrat was insanely flavourful. Pity I couldn't eat much of it after the many small plates we had gone through and I skipped the mains altogether. . The cheese platter I'm not sure if it was entirely the @begumvictoriacheese products which is the talk of the town. May be someone will confirm :) . The mushrooms small plate was so well done that I was wondering if I've ever eaten such a tasty mushroom dish. . I had a red wine sangria (loved it) and the husband and me both loved the vodka based Lavender Orchid Chili martini, it was very mildly sweet with good hit of chili, but I did not taste any lavender in that. . The churros were the lightest and airiest ones we've tasted and even my son kept saying that. However, I prefer the churros to have some substance and not so full of air. It tasted superb though with the hot chocolate sauce . All in all a great brunch, pricier than many other Sunday brunches yes, but quality, service and great food is assured, esp given that almost everything is made fresh for you. I also like the fact that people are not loading up their plates and wasting food.
  • A colorful bounty from my morning trip to Namdhari's (BANGALORE)...they have the best seasonal produce that you cannot find anywhere else. Orange sweet potatoes and butter nut squash were the highlights of today's haul and the absolutely blemish free strawberries. Also they sell the best little potted herbs that you can plant at home. Couldn't resist picking up an oregano pot. . Double tap if fresh produce like this makes you happy and gives inspiration to cook healthy, just like it does to me 😃 . for more such happy pics, follow @saffrontrail #saffrontrail

  • Husband walks in home. Sees this beautiful flower arrangement. . "From a secret admirer," I tell him. He grins knowing fully well that I'm talking about myself only 😁😁😁 . Bringing in the birthday weekend with a flower subscription box from @theshadesofspring - the best kinda subscription box to gift yourself (or someone you love) if you ask me! . 🌷What I love the most about this is none of the annoying plastic and infinite rounds of cello tape to peel. The freshly cut flowers come in a box and you can arrange them however you like. Swipe to see this. . 🏵️The box comes with all the basic instructions. For more details, please check with them on their Instagram. (Not sponsored) This year, I want to support small businesses around me. I will try and share with you my finds either on feed or stories. . For more such home inspirations, please follow @saffrontrail #saffrontrail
