Contest and Spa Voucher Giveaway by The Four Fountains Spa (** Giveaway CLOSED **)

One of my favorite activities, when I am in Mumbai, is to visit a spa - The Four Fountains Spa more specifically - for a luxurious and wholesome treatment. Right from head massage to body massage to a fine facial, I have explored every de-stressing spa treatment here. And boy, does it work! I have found to step out with a glowing complexion, relaxed vibe in my walk and a striking change in my mood to become more blissful and gay (sigh..how I miss it now!). Apart from the treatments itself, what I love the most is their cool and comforting ambience, clean interiors, affordable pricing and a welcoming staff.
I have been a fan of their treatments so much so that, I have literally pushed my family members and every other friend and relative towards getting a spa treatment done here (I am crazy like that ;)). And might I add, all of them have loved the treatments 10 on 10!

Well, so the whole point here is that I couldn't be more happier to host a giveaway with The Four Fountains Spa (double happy as this is the first giveaway for my readers in India).

Mini Blogger meetup & Howrah Bridge

While in India I met with two pretty ladies whose fashion blogs I follow to the T - the vivacious Shubhi from Shubhi's Revels (now 'FairyTale Style') and the charming Aditi from SoSaree! Shubhi and I had a coffee date on a rainy afternoon (perfect setup I say!) which continued into a photo shoot (my first with a fellow fashion blogger, it was super fun believe me!) and then we joined Aditi for a pizza-and-sizzling-brownie dinner. We almost spent half-a-day together and not one moment was dull, I tell you!

It was a gab-fest, people.. we touched upon every topic under the sun, right from our fashion blogs to our personal (married - for Aditi and me) lives to our aspirations. The evening had it's twists and turns when Shubhi found that she had misplaced her Blackberry, frantic times to find it, and then finally finding out that her dad picked up her Bbery from the coffee shop. All in all..one exciting evening to say the least which I enjoyed every bit. Looking forward to catching up when I am next in Mumbai.

Outfit Pictures c/o Shubhi. Thanks a lot Shubhi for the amaZing pics; it was so much fun doing this  photo shoot! 

Funny story about the photoshoot. With all the prying eyes on the road, it was so difficult to get a quiet place to do an outfit photoshoot....phew! Finally Shubhi and I found this deserted park behind the coffee shop and in almost 10 minutes we had both our outfit pics taken (that was my quickest photo shoot ever!). It also started raining by the time we were on the end..and then there were also some couples seeking lone time in the park...so we quickly made a dash for the exit. 

Well, least to say, it is indeed not-very-easy, as it is here in the US, to take outfit pics and be a fashion blogger in India..hats off to all you Indian Fashion Bloggers :)

The quirky house-print scarf is from Anupriya's own brand - Howrah Bridge. Anupriya is a dear friend, fellow fashion blogger and Owner & Designer at Howrah Bridge. I loved this print and the colorful panels; makes it great to brighten up that plain, boring tee/top. Check out 'Howrah Bridge' on Facebook for some original and quirky designs and beautiful detailing.

Funny story about the ordering process - I had placed an online for another Howrah Bridge scarf through a third-party online portal. When I let Anu know this, she checked her inventory to find out that the scarf I ordered was sold out. Bummer! But Anu, the sweetheart that she is, was graious enough to send me additional designs to browse through. Out of the all the exquisite designs, this quirky print definitely caught my eye and now I have it for me :) Thanks Anu for the wonderful customer service, personalized shopping experience and the thoughtful and kind note with the parcel...you go girl!

Good times in India - Part 1

So...I am back from this good, real good trip at home and all I can do now is sit down and look at the pictures and think about the jolly good times with the friends and the family! So thought, hey why not share these pics with you (that's what I do on the blog) After all, you are waiting to know where I was hiding all this time and what was I upto, right? :)

 Got to see the GOD play (yes, Sachin Tendulkar, the greatest cricketer of all times) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Shame he retired hurt after hurling that ball out to the stands! And of course there was Kieron Pollard, who just turned the tables with his mindblowing batting.

A sip of the freshest wines right at the Sula Vineyards, Nashik..the place is so beautiful and people if you are there, don't miss the calming and scenic sunset.
