How To Get Theobrama (and other foods) To Your Doorstep- placeoforigin.in

Hey guys!

Today I want to tell you how I get theobrama brownies, right to my city when I don't even live in Mumbai. So PlaceOfOrigin is a Craftsvilla initiative that aims to provide you all those special foods that you crave, at the click if a button! I am huge lover of brownies and Theobrama makes some amazing ones plus I'm a sucker for cute packaging like this:

Can you see theobrama bakery?

Like who can resist this? 😍

The brownies are delicious and look, smell and taste amazing!

So I was craving these a couple of days ago so decided to check out if placeoforiginin has it and sure enough they did! So I  placed my order and received the package today.

It came in a brown cardboard box filled with bubble wrap so it was safe and sound. Theobrama has only two branches, both in Mumbai, one in Bandra and one at Colaba Causeway. So it was pretty amazing to be able to have these sitting in my home. The website is easy to navigate and order from however shipping charges apply per item and no matter how much you order, it is not free. For larger orders, shipping is discounted though. 

Despite this, it is still pretty amazing to me that I can have khakhra from Gujarat, Rasgullas from West Bengal, Brownies from Mumbai, Mithai from Punjab, Biscuits from Dehradun and everything else you crave, right at your home. So what are you waiting for? Go check them out!

P.S. not sponsored

Update: I have been in touch with the placeoforigin teach and they have kind enough to provide me with a discount code for my readers.

Code: thatnextdoorgirl100 ( Rs. 100 off 700 or more) ( valid upto 31st March 2017)

Nutella Ferrero Hazelnut Shake!

Recently on a trip to gurgaon I had this delicious nutella, ferrero, hazelnut shake that was just divine. With  multiple whole hazelnuts and rochers, there was a crunch that added a definite dimension. The huge quantity meant it was difficult to be finished by a single person, even if a foodie!  Here is a pic for you all to drool over too:

Such deliciousness *drool*

Well, as much as I wish I could go there and have it now, I can't and that may be true for you too so here I am telling you how to make one right at your home! (and its not that hard either!)

One is never enough, is it?

Ingredients:

1 cup whole milk (you can use skimmed milk too but whole milk works best for thickness)

2 cups chocolate ice cream

2 tablespoons castor sugar

4 tablespoons nutella

4-6 whole hazelnuts

3-4 ferrero rocher

5 crushed oreos

2 tablespoon whipped cream

2 tablespoon choco chips

random chocolates or wafers as desired

This is love 😍

Method:

Blend together milk, 1 1/2 cup ice cream and 4 crushed oreos. Once fully blended add in nutella saving some for the mug. Once blended taste and add castor sugar if required. Put the nutella on the edges so that you get some nutella in every sip. Now pour the blended mixture into the mug and add in the hazelnuts. Add the whipped cream over the shake.

Wow

Garnish with choco-chips, crushed oreo, ferrero rochers and your choice of wafers and chocolates. And ta-da enjoy this chocolatey heaven, right from your kitchen.

Tip: Try to share, its very heavy!


Now, obviously, the recipe is quite simple and can be made right in your kitchen, but sometimes (or always) you're way too lazy (like me..) so you can just grap that box of rochers or that jar of nutella (yumm) or even the new dairy milk silk in oreo which is just heavenly, by the way and enjoy!

The new silk 😵

Now I have to go and make this (or buy the silk, we'll see), so bye and lots of love! 😘😘😘

My Mini Sephora Haul

Since, I got into makeup and learned about Sephora..I always wanted to shop there. But there is no Sephora in my city, not to mention as a college student, I am B.R.O.K.E. But I just couldn't help myself. These products have been shopped  from Sephora, Phoenix Market City Mall, Pune. And I know this haul is tiny, but I'm saving up to do a huge haul soon, so keep a look out for that. Meanwhile,

Sephora Rouge Cream Lipstick in Say My Name

This is beautiful bright fuchsia colour in a semi matte finish. I like the simple black packaging with Sephora at the bottom. I also like the shape of the lipstick itself, very easy to apply both for lining or filling purposes. It is a little expensive, but its a good lipstick if you're looking to invest in your makeup.

Lancome Hypnose Mascara Set

This is a mascara set from Lancome. The mascara is full size while the kohl and eye makeup remover are deluxe sizes. The mascara is great at lengthening and volume, but the best part is the thin wand making it easy to apply on lower lashes. The kohl is a nice dark black with a pointed tip and a harder formula than usual making it easy to sharpen. However, it is not smudge proof and not very good for precision lining. But when are any pencil liners good for that, huh? The  remover is a bi-facil formula great for that stubborn waterproof mascara or liner. At 2600 INR, i do not think its awfully expensive either.


So, this was my mini Sephora haul, hope you enjoyed it and looking forward to seeing you again. And I would love to know your opinions on these products or some recommendations if you have, so please check out the comment section. Thanks, and lots of love...😘😘😘

Hiya there!

Well I know no one knows me yet but it seems weird to be start something with no welcome or intro. So here's that! I am new blogger and having nothing to do at home I guess this will help me focus my talents. This blog will focus on fashion, beauty and food. Which will be quite contradictory since the food will make it difficult to fit in the tiny sizes these days. Anyhoo, look out for baking and candy making disasters and miracles. Styling for the girl next door. Makeup tips and tricks. Shopping trips and tricks. Personal struggles. And so much more. Hope to see you around and Thank you for reading.

Oh and this is me. 😊
