One thing i always wanted to try is Carluccio’s White Truffle Olive Oil… i actually always grabbed it and tried to sneak it in the cash register but my husband would catch me and lecture me on the fact that we cannot travel with a bottle of olive oil back to Q8. The bottle is [...]

While shopping in Selfridges London i saw these Retro Timex watches being sold. They reminded me of the casio watches from the late 80′s and early 90′s when people dreamed of having a watch that is also a phone… something like the little girl from the cartoon Inspector Gadget used to have Now the gold, [...]

One thing worth lugging all the way from London is this amazing coffee machine Tassimo. Yes we at home have more than one brand of coffee machines (check here) and we are hopeless coffeeholics.

If you are going to London during the Christmas Holidays you must pass by Fortnum & Mason and grab yourselves a red tin of their special Xmas Blend tea! It has a whiff of orange and cinnamon and some other herbs that i cannot place but the resulting aroma and taste is just too good to miss! [...]

I brought home with me a tiny little box of this newly discovered chocolate in Marks & Spencers London…There are three kinds of Micro Bites: Rocky Road, Chocolate Cornflake, and Extremely Chocolaty Mini Bites… the only one i have to photograph is the Cornflake one. They are yummy but not as yummy a the Extremely [...]

I saw this card for a £10 in facebook credits in London. I am not that much of a fan of buying stuff on facebook but i would think any one who is would have been happy to find this card. Why don’t we have similar products in Q8!? If you bought it from London the [...]

One of the most amazing things we enjoy in the UK is their Toast. One of my sisters describes it as “khdood” and the other “Makhada”… I usually get my self a bag of toast when i am back and keep it in the Freezer for emergencies and nostalgia. Apparently i do not have to [...]

Here is one thing you would happily and gladly find in London… if you are into knitting, or like me just started knitting, you should head to John Lewis and go wild in their knitting supplies section!

Carluccio’s is one of my favorite places to dine in the UK! If you are a fan of Fatafeet or BBC Food, you would recognize Carluccio’s Chef: Antonio Carluccio from the cooking shows!

I usually visit F&M on my 2nd day of the trip. I love this place… it is in Piccadilly just off Regent Street so it’s merely a walking distance to all the attractions… With a history dating back to the 1700′s and several royal warrants under it’s belt… it is one place in London where you can feel you are actually [...]

Tucked away in the heart of Covent Garden there is a staircase… taking the steps down to the lower level you will find your self in an open basement area dotted with coffee shops and restaurants… Scattered every where are outdoorsy tables and in the corner there is always someone playing something… be it the [...]

If you are a makeup fan or not that experienced in applying make up… you will love this little box of goodies… I am not a makeup person. I know zilch about applying make up and i hate having anything on my face… so my worst nightmare is when i am invited to a gathering/wedding/party [...]

I had the pleasure [...]

Like what’s above? Join My [...]
