Bye bye Utah, Hello California !

TIRING , ear blasting journey. So sick and tired of  ladies who keep talking continuously !! Finally we've reached back home at 2.am beating up all the slow traffic in Vegas. Overall it was such an average trip and stressful !

Zion National Park, UT

Only an hour drive ! I told them but all these people think they're genius :) Let it be ......... let it be...... :)))

Such an awesome experience and  I've enjoyed a little bit apart from suffering cold , wet feet in the suede boots ! We missed the 11 miles river hiking and hope we could do it sometime soon ! It was just perfect to hike up alone without Bee's support as I was less tensed :)

Watched mountain climbing , must say it takes lots of courage for a person to do that. My heart was pounding when Bee left me alone to hike up to a dangerous mountain. I was just praying that this guy should be back safe! Thank god !

Bryce Canyon , Utah.

One the most breathtaking place to be at. The pain of hiking in suede boots, when I've clearly stated that I need my snow boots! Now, I've learnt a lesson that I should never let my hubby to pack my luggage for travels. This is nothing new ! I think it was one of my toughest challenge to walk in the snow with my terribly wet feet but Utah is surely beauty on it's own!

Thanksgiving 2010

We had the longest drive ever for this year's Thanksgiving weekend. It was continuous tiring days completing the chores at home. Despite cooking a night earlier, I was challenged with totally useless work on the day of travel which again was wasted of course.

I'm not blessed like other Indian ladies who could easily win help or favors from other men on earth :) All my hardwork will go to dogs , though I do it in pain ! My London stay , my working life , my search............. even anything current has no value. Finally I managed tolerating the pain and awaited for everyone to start almost at 3pm. Such a tiring drive, we reached Las Vegas at 3am.

Okay now the challenges are........how are we gonna spend the next few days. Each time travelling out is never a relaxation for me , in fact travel means extra pain, extra work and extra time waste. I wish I could drive my life. I miss those days when I was a princess on my own , lived in my dreams , lived in my reality , the very strong willed , proud to take help , the very hardworking girl. I miss those days where I earned my living , I searched my job. I am proud to say that I never lived on other men's mercy. Everything in this world is very easy to be attained as long as we have no self respect and dignity.

Thirukarthikai Deepam 2010

For the ever first time in the last 4 years, I've been blessed with an opportunity to light up karthikai deepam. Only a wish , to complete my girivalam at Tiruvannamalai , been thinking of Annamalaiyan and Unnamalai ambaal.

L'Occitane Shea Butter cream.

This is truly a hero product. I've always thought that the handcreams are greasy and oily. I did try the other superstore brands but it left my palms oily where I get irritated to drive! I stopped using handcreams and recently the harsh winter has left my hands super dry and it's quite painful to manage the cracks between the thumb! I was wrong about the handcreams till I was given a free L'Occitane Shea Butter cream @ Stanford Mall.

An award winning L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream. I fell in love with it and I am already planning buying more, as I want the smaller size for my handbag. It smells amazing and makes my hands feel really soft.

Imagine the most luxury hand cream you can think of! This is it! The best hand cream I've ever tried. The formula is rich and creamy and it sinks into the skin really fast, leaving my hands silky soft! Now I know why it won so many awards. It smells absolutely beautiful, kind of nutty but flowery and sweet at the same time. Every time I use it, I keep sniffing my hands. A little goes a long way. The amount you can see on the pictures above is enough to moisturise your full hands and elbows. I always moisturise my elbows when I use hand cream :) You can also use it on your knees and any dry areas of your body. I use it on my ankles- they are really dry for some reason:(

You should definitely try this and I bet you'll be pleased with the results! The travel size costs only $10. Though they have the bigger size at $28 , I prefer the travel size because it easily fits into my handbag. Just love it, truly wonderful on my skin and my skin appreciate them!
