Chocolate and Book!

So I came across something very exciting recently. If you are a book lover (and also a chocolate lover), it should sound very interesting to you as well.

You can have a box of book and chocolates delivered to you at your doorstep by http://www.chocolateandbook.com every month on subscription!

They offer alot of genres to pick from and they bring on from the hot-seller books of the month, sometimes one of those you have been looking for around your place but couldn’t lay hands on. You can choose from fiction, romance, thriller, fantasy, history and many more.

You will also get a bunch of chocolates in your subscription box and what’s more interesting is that you can personlise your choices for instance if you are a vegetarian/vegan, allergic to nuts, don’t want alcohol as an ingredient or so on.

You can also avail this service to give someone a present by having the box mailed to them!!

So, much handy as it sounds, this is going to be on my bucket list from now on as I am an avid reader and always on the look out to grab the best-selling ones. You too should have a look, what say?!

Chilly mornings..

7.50 am in the morning and already at work.. few stills just captured by me..

Let it go!

Do you feel at the moment that all the odds are turning against you? Are you feeling the pressure to increase by every passing day? Do you feel like just giving up? Sit back, this post is for you.

When they say that life is a box of chocolates, they literally mean it. You never know which one you are going to get. Whenever we face a hard blow in our lives, we instantly blame the nature for having not favoured us and closing that one door for us. But what we don’t understand is that it happens to the better of us as everyone must face failures , in one shape or another. Whenever we tend to get overly attached with any objective in our lives that we put our heart and soul into it, we are affected deeply and grossly if we fail. Well, arguably true, it is very normal to feel extremely bad for instance if you couldn’t make it to the dream university of your choice, but will you just give up there? Will you allow the depression to creeep in slowly and ruin so many days and nights of your precious life or will you embrace this with a heavy heart and find a new resolve for you to move on? The most intelligent of people are those who accept the realities very soon and find opportunities in places even where very least likely to be found.

Life is precious. And good things are worth the wait. Nature will test your resilience by putting you in tough situations again and again until one day it fails to see that they make any difference to you. What is important is to learn the art of letting go and moving on whilst you have played your best cards and expected the best to happen. Failures happen and they must as they teach lessons we never forget for our lives. They teach us how to be humble and grounded which success doesn’t. If you master the art of letting go of situations that you didn’t want to happen, one day you’ll say, “this was the biggest lesson for me, the turning point of my life. And I am so glad it happened”.

Shed a tear or two and gather yourself. The stage of the world is waiting for you.

DETOXIFY YOUR BODY!

Good day all!

Much hype has been seen recently on the social media about various detoxification programmes meant to cleanse the body and lose weight conveniently. While it may seem fashionable to see celebrities and divas endorsing brands of detoxification juices that have come up in the market, the truth is that it’s worth it. Except that you may not necesaarily need to spend way too much on this when you can have your own recipes to make these cocktails yourself.

But first, let’s talk about some of the benefits of detoxification by drinking fruit juices. There’s no denying the fact that fruits and vegetables are loaded with minerals and vitamins which are vital for good health. Not only can one boost up the immune system by giving a relief from harmful products such as processed foods and deep fried items loaded with bad fats thus boosting the growth of friendly bacteria in our gut, there are numerous other benefits to talk about. If you start off by including one day regime of detoxification in a month and take it upto seven days in a month ultimately, ofcourse over a period of time, you actually will feel the difference. You will feel energized even when on a normal diet, will have a clear and glowing skin and will not have to deal with acne or hair fall anymore. Also, especially if you are having a rough day, it can boost your mood. But what must be kept in mind that one should not starve when on the regime. You should have a serving every two to three hours so to not run low on your sugars and start eating the same old carbs instead!

So let’s talk about a beginner’s recipe for detoxification juice. Although you can easily buy one in the market or have one delivered to your doorstep, why not make your own?

Here are the ingredients you need to bring all that goodness into your glass:

Green apples – 2

Celeray stalks ( not leaves)

Cucumber – 1

Lemons – 2

Ginger – 1 inch piece

Mint (a few leaves)

And here you go, that’s all! You can also save it in the fridge for a couple of days. Give it a thought to do some good for your body, give it a treat and a break from the daily grind, and enjoy all the bonus.
