Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie—a power-packed hearty drink

We had a couple of exquisitely wet days since the earthquake tremor in mid-April. Beautifully wet days filled with blustery breezes and billowy clouds and early-summer drizzle. The kind that caught everyone off guard. 

It was followed by thunder, lighting, hailstorm and—scandalously pouring rain. Yes, it was pouring in summer!

Glasses and jars and bottles overflowing with cool smoothies and shakes and juices. This is what summer feels like.

Oh joy.

Speedy Berry Cheesecake in a Glass — impressive and very moreish

Last few days have been most amazing. I was lost in the utter romance of beautiful happenings — walks along the coast enjoying this fleetingly exquisite weather, reconnecting with friends after far too long, hot chocolates and scrumptious faloodas, and most exciting of all, receiving the best news of the year that I’m officially back to the corporate world. Ha.

And since December began, it’s been early morning rush and traffic jams, high heels, pink lipsticks, delicate blouses, meetings and spreadsheets, and of course, the overwhelming excitement of new beginnings, and much to look forward to.

Happy December! Happy holidays! And a happy year-before!

Blueberry Banana and Cream

Usually my mind is whirling with a million seems-so-brilliant ideas, and I’m brimming with inspiration to put them into action. 

And yet, there are those times when no matter how much I scout around, inspiration is elusive. Today is one such day, unfortunately.

Not even the promise of rain gets me in the mood. There’s this impending sense of loom I’m not able to shake away. My gut feeling tells me to pause, slow down the pace, take it down a notch.
