New Hair Color

August 30, 2015

New_Hair_ColorJust tried this cinnamon brown shade new hair color from wella over the weekend and I’am loving it! It’s always been difficult to choose a hair color which would go well with my dark hair. But I really like this one. I read somewhere that you should always match the hair color to the color hues found in your eyes. But I really don’t know how much of that is true. A lot of websites give you shade options depending on the type of skin you have too.
Experimenting with my hair is something I’ve always been open to. Some how I just feel if something goes wrong you could re-color it or even chop it off. And if that goes wrong too, you know its gonna grow back, right?. I mean I would anytime choose coloring my hair purple as opposed to getting a tattoo. That is bit scary to me since I don’t think I’m ready for that kind of commitment as yet. Maybe someday I will. But seriously for those of you who really want to get new hair color or highlights or streaks with a bit bolder color choices, go ahead and do it. And to all my friends who have asked me this before, yes it does dry out your hair a bit but if you condition them properly, you are good to go. Just use the right shampoos, conditioners and serums out there which are specially made to take care of colored hair.
Until next time…
xx,
varsha!

DIY Kate Spade Themed Cake

August 28, 2015

DIY-Kate-Spade-Themed-Cake-4I just love beautifully decorated cakes specially the themed ones like this one. I have tried my hand at decorating with fondant before but have not been that successful. The closest I have come to decorating was this mother’s day cake. I have to admit though that I love decorating baked goods more than baking them Ha! I don’t usually bake a lot but love to make cakes for friends and family. One such special occasion was my very good friend’s birthday.
Last week when we went shopping and she was looking for a kate spade scalloped purse which unfortunately she did not find in the stores. Kate Spade is one of our favorite brands and we love the colors they use. That’s when I decided I would love to make a cake with that theme for her upcoming birthday. So I decided to give my fondant decorating skills another try to make this DIY kate spade themed cake. I was happy with the way it turned out. I still have a long (I mean like really long) way to go but I’m getting there.

DIY Taco Stand

August 20, 2015

DIY-Taco-Stand-Part-1-3Hey guys I’m super stoked and excited to be sharing my DIY project on one of my favorite blog, Designlovefest today!
The inspiration for this DIY Taco Stand came from a dinner party I hosted recently. Tacos was one of the items I was serving and just did not have anything to serve it on. At the time I managed by putting a tooth-pick through to hold them together. I know a lot of times all the ingredients are kept on the table and people just pick and make their own tacos. However, I just wanted to serve the stacked tacos as there were other dishes on the table too and I kind of wanted everything to look neat and less messy.
It is a super easy and very functional project. Head on over to designlovefest for all the info and a step by step tutorial.

Mushroom Garlic Pasta

August 18, 2015

Mushroom-Garlic-Pasta4Hello ya’ll ! I’m back after a break of almost a month. Just wanted to step back and come up with some new ideas to share on the blog. Also we are moving to a different city pretty soon so was busy with all things that go with that (more on this later). But today I’m sharing a Mushroom Garlic Pasta recipe(one of my favorites) with ya! I LOVE making this in summer with fresh farm mushrooms and sweet juicy cherry tomatoes. I’m a sucker for Italian recipes and can have pasta dishes all day, everyday. How I wish that could be possible but carbs are not that kind to me and neither does the metabolism help in any way. So I’m constantly looking for substitutes and recipes which are a healthier versions of my guilty pleasures.
