Sunday Brunch At Afraa Lounge & Restaurant, Salt Lake

August 29, 2017 Leave a Comment

Afraa Lounge & Restaurant was probably one of the first to start the concept of a Sunday brunch in the city. I’ve been an Afraa regular since the place opened a few years back and the Afraa Sunday brunch has always been a favorite.

First of all, the ambience is great. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and eating a relaxed meal overlooking the Salt Lake skyline on a Sunday afternoon feels really nice. Second of all, they serve unlimited soft and hard drinks and cocktails. Third reason is that the brunch includes a huge spread with all kinds of veg and non-veg food – cold cuts, salads, an excellent selection of cheese, grilled meat and veggies, main course with Indian, Oriental and Continental fare and delicious desserts. Fourth reason is that for all of this, the price of the Sunday brunch is very economical. It is only Rs 999 plus taxes.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream design just got revamped with a touch of Eley Kishimoto. The wife and husband duo’s designs have graced the catwalks of legendary designers like Louis Vitton, Marc Jacobs and Alexander McQueen. Now, the ‘patron saints of print’ have restyled one of The Body Shop’s most iconic products. The playful print, in pink, blue and red is all about the letter “E”, as well as the chemical structure of the vitamin E molecule. The limited edition Vitamin E Moisture Cream is priced at Rs 1595 (100 g). Along with the cream, there is a limited edition pouch in the same Eley Kishimoto print available as well. That is priced at Rs 595 but you can get it free if you shop for Rs 3000 and above. Read on to know more about the cream and the Vitamin E range.

August 18, 2017 1 Comment

Nowadays, I find myself leaning more towards natural, organic and ayurvedic products for skin and hair care. We all know about the ill-effects of parabens and SLEs so I am trying to avoid them as much as I can. Recently, I was sent some products from the newly launched Ayurveda brand from Shesha Beauty, Ashtapathy, which has a range of coconut oil based shampoos and soaps.

Celebrating 15 Years of ITC Sonar With 15 Hours Nostalgia

August 8, 2017 Leave a Comment

I can’t believe that it has been 15 years already! I remember when the ITC Sonar building was under construction, there was so much curiosity amongst the general public. That time, Kolkata did not have too many luxury hotels so we were all very excited. My first visit to ITC Sonar took place soon after they launched and it was a visit to Peshawri. For the last 15 years, it has been one of my favorite hotels so I felt really special when the management invited me to be part of their Crystal Anniversary celebration. On this special occasion, ITC Sonar has come up with a range of offers for their patrons. One of them is called 15 Hours Nostalgia where you basically spend 15 hours in the hotel experiencing luxury at its best.
