What are your daily habits?
A steaming cup of tea, ☕️
A brisk morning walk,
Work, a little workout,
Wind down, nestle in my couch,
A fulfilling dinner, good sleep.
This is an ideal day for me!
Fairy themed birthday party ideas
My little one turned six this weekend and we threw a party. My daughter loves fairies and I wanted to surprise her. So we put it all together the night before. It was work, but it was so worth the smile and excitement it brought on her face, the next morning.
Now, would you like some ideas?
A list of things that were on the table :
- A giantwheel cupcake holder with eight cupcakes, purchased in walmart.
- Four lit up artificial plants with fairies and play ponds on them, all purchased separately from Shein and put together.
- Fairy frame and the birthday girl’s picture printed on a 12″ cake, from Dulce Deleche bakery.
- Cake toppers and cupcake toppers from Shein.
- A heart shaped golden box of roses next to a fairy rose, from Shein.
Images of them :
For the background, we put together many different items purchased from Party city and Shein, along with some things I made from scratch. All low budget items but the result was nothing short of amazing.
And all on the backdrop of Foil fringe curtains.
Hope this blog helped plan another awesome party. Oh! and then, don’t forget to smile! 😇
Good
How do you feel about cold weather?
It doesn’t bother me as much as extremely hot weather does.
Bundled up in warm clothes, sipping a hot cup of tea in my backyard is my idea of luxury.
A bit of both
Are you a leader or a follower?
Come to think of it, I am more of a follower when I don’t really believe in the cause. I don’t reject things right away, hence I follow.
I am an introvert for the most part, but when I am driven or really motivated towards something, I lead and make sure I go all in.
Trials
I recently took a break from work. I planned to spend my time gardening and started off with some morning glory seeds in a midsize plant pot.They seemed to be growing fast initially but eventually withered away.
From then I’ve been trying to grow pudina/ mint from the used stalks. I planted the pruned mint stems in soil and waited for a few weeks, with regular watering of course. But half of them only withered and the other half weren’t quite so satisfactory.
Now, I’m trying to grow them in water. It actually looks quite refreshing when I keep them that way. I love the smell of fresh pudina / mint and hope it grows and sprouts new leaves in time for my next Chicken briyani 😋
Just a thought
You add potatoes to an over spiced curry to make it less spicy. What to add to an overly spicy potato fry? 🤔
Summer rain
Grey clouds hang dense and dismal
Shutting off entire shafts of sunlight
Puddles mirror the gloom overhead
Leaves wait in absolute stillness,
For the first drops of summer rain.
The leaves now dance
The puddles fill with ripples
And the scene comes alive,
Drenched in the beauty of rain.
One thought
People don’t think about you as much as you think they do. So don’t spend too much time trying to fit in. Make your own choices. Take care of yourself, physically and mentally.
Dazzling Anirudh evening
Excited faces showed up despite the rain and chilly weather at the Newark Prudential Center for Anirudh’s concert on Saturday. The insane evening started off with a two hour delay. But it progressed very well and the performance sure made up for it!
I’ve never been to a gathering of this magnitude before and to see the 18,000-seat arena nearly full was overwhelming!
When the Jumbotron lifted to show the night’s hero Anirudh Ravichander, the crowd went almost beserk. All of us felt so pumped and calmed at the same time. It’s not everyday a Legendary Music Composer shows up from your home country! To hear songs that you once had on loop, songs that boosted you up, songs that pulled you through, all in one place and performed live by its creator, is definitely, incredibly magical!
There were three sets and every minute had me hooked. Anirudh made a spectacular entrance everytime. The third one was particulary good as he danced all the way up the stage to high energy beats with a brilliant dance troupe around him.
The concert had bonus performances of Singers Jonita Gandhi and Aditya R K. The arena had roaring vibes and unified voices rocked the arena during all melody numbers in the second set.
In all, I felt good, relaxing with friends and strangers alike. All stress and sense of time went away for those couple of hours and I am thankful for it.
Anirudh’s One Upon A Time Tour goes live at six places in the United States, ending at Oakland, CA on April 15th. To the best!! 🥂
Cherry blossoms
