What do you think of wishes coming true? You know how sometimes, a someone special gifts us exactly what we wanted?! Now that’s a wish genie whispering our wishes in their minds 😀
Flipkart similarly tries fulfilling everyone’s wishes,acts as a wish genie on our behalf,when we want to gift something special to someone.
One of my fellow blogger Manjulika wished for this Philips Air Fryer for her mom as she makes super yummy kachoris and samosas, smart wish I would say, coz it benefits the entire family plus takes care of their health too with less to no usage of oil. Also,one can bake, grill, fry and do so much more with an Air Fryer. I would love to try the Air Fryer too some day.
But when it comes to fulfilling wishes, I would like to be a genie here and fulfill my husband’s wish and get him something very useful which saves him a lot of time. He is always multi-tasking and managing his own freelance work too on weekends,apart from his regular job. He is mostly on the phone interacting and connecting with people. Also, he is looking to get into fitness coz that is something he has been neglecting since a while and has just started putting on weight.
We hardly get to spend time together as he is working on something or the other on weekends too,and we are ‘newly married’! Imagine my life later on. A few weeks ago when we were making some plans for weekend, my husband had to go for a meeting on Saturday related to his freelance work and the entire Saturday was spent in it, plus there are times he has conference calls on Sundays and at odd hours coz few participants are from US. I truly believe he should start delegating stuff and also invest in gadgets which save him a lot of time and manage his time wisely.
The watch displays notifications based on your location, be it weather, flight alerts or traffic so that he will always be on track. A light vibration ensures that he would be notified of incoming or missed calls, text messages and emails.
Say the two magic words ‘Ok Google’ before you begin your sentence to get answers to your questions, send a text, dictate a note or even schedule a meeting. The watch can also discreetly navigate you all the way to your destination when you’re lost. So he can be working on the laptop or driving, and still be scheduling meetings or asking for directions or any questions and let the Moto 360 do the math for him.
The watch is designed with an in-built pedometer and a heart rate monitor that keeps a track of your steps and heart rate. With the heart activity app using the daily and weekly benchmarks, he will be able to effectively track his progress towards his health goals and keep his weight in check.
I think this would save him a lot of time and energy and make his life much easier. His birthday is coming up in August and I know what to get now 😉 Flipkart will help me fulfill his wish. Also, all the time saved can be spent together 😀 Double win!
What do you think of #AbHarWishHogiPoori ? I personally loved the ad, very well made 🙂
It’s been a long time, I shopped anything from Jabong (See previous Jabong Hauls HERE and HERE). I really like few brands on Jabong, and also got a few other things for 50% off during sale.
Now Jabong.com obviously needs no introduction. So let’s get straight to my haul 😀
I had ordered a pink/red Meira dress but only size was available in it (all sizes are available right now and it is still at 60% discount, a steal at 400 bucks if you wish to order 😀 ) and looking at the size chart, I went for it but sadly it did not fit :/ I had to return the dress and initiate a refund and I got another Miss Bennett Grey T-shirt dress (This is also still on discount, at Rs.539/-). I have to say the return and refund process was very easy and quick, no hassles at all. I got the dress within 3-4 dress. I am currently loving it, it is so comfortable that I can practically wear it everywhere 🙂 You will see this soon in one of my casual OOTD posts.
I also ordered a Pretty Secrets navy blue night suit set and Raymond Home hand towels (set of 2). The night suit is for Rs.1299/- which I got for Rs.650/- at 50% off 😀 The Raymond Home towet set was also at 50% off and got it for Rs.325/-. I received all the items within 4-5 days.
Just three things, a small haul but I am very happy with the service and how quick and easy the whole process was. That reminded me I should shop more often from Jabong now. I just wanted to share my good experience with you guys 🙂
Have you shopped anything recently from Jabong? Do let me know in the comments below.
So just after our wedding, I and my husband shifted to a new place near to his office and it was an unfurnished rented place. We had to buy all the necessary furniture and here is how we did it:
1. Jot down the necessary furniture items
Start with noting down what all you need, like for a house with 2 people, the basic furniture you would need is a sofa,center table,TV unit,bed and a wardrobe. You may need more cupboards/storage drawers if you have more stuff. Also, a dressing table can be skipped if the wardrobe has a mirror. A dining table can be skipped as it would also occupy too much space. Buy a center table and bed which has storage inside.
2. Budget
Keep a budget in mind for each and every item and/or the combined total i.e. how much maximum would you prefer spending on furniture. Also, if a house is rented, does not make sense to invest in a lot of furniture, but if you have your own house, then of course, it makes sense to allot a higher budget.
3. Quality
If you are buying some few key pieces, make sure that you get good quality and it lasts you a long time. Cheap stuff may sound alluring at first but will hardly last you an year or so, and then you have to keep on re-purchasing new stuff every year. Rather invest in good quality,durable furniture.
4. Design & Style
You will find 100’s of designs out there, also when you buy online, you get confused looking at so many options. For e.g. In a sofa, there is 3+ 2 seats and there is an L shaped combined one. Keep the corners of your house in mind,measure the area and then suitably select something which will look the best. Even after the design is shortlisted, there are different patterns, different materials,etc. to choose from. Go for something which is durable. Avoid whites if the furniture is going to be used a lot since it will be dirty quite soon and end up looking muddy and lose its charm, though whites are classic and difficult to say NO to, but keep all the factors in mind.
There are a lot of websites which sell furniture online, but buy from someone you trust or have purchased before from. I would say, try buying 1-2 small things at first and get to know the site,delivery,quality,returns,etc., before purchasing everything at once.
Once you find a correct,trustworthy site, then just place your order and your life is simple! Durian offers free delivery and free assembly, easy EMI options and 5 year warranty! Also, 90% of the stuff is made in India. I have often been to Durian stores and my family has purchased quite a lot of stuff from Durian since the time of its inception. I know how reliable,sturdy and trustworthy Durian furniture is.
About Saree.com: Saree.com is a one stop shop for women’s ethnic and lifestyle needs. They aim to offer you most genuine and adorable garments for all the occasions.
When I was searching for ethnic wear for my wedding trousseau a few months back, very few sites online interested me. I liked Triveni Sarees and 1-2 other, but not many options were availble. Recently I stumbled upon Saree.com and I am hooked on to the site!
They stock everything from anarkalis to designer sarees to lehengas and even evening gowns! Evening gowns was something I could not find anywhere and I was searching them desperately for my cocktail. I wish I would have known Saree.com before 🙁
This costs just Rs.2395/-, unbelievable right! Also you can get it stitched the way you want, a shorter choli if you want to show your lehenga or like a longer salwar which is quite IN these days.
Ok, I love yellow in ethnic wear and especially yellow and pink combination. I think it looks fabulous, and this saree is a perfect blend of colors and the embroidery work on it looks really pretty.
Aren’t these pieces amazing, and there are many many more. You will be spoilt for choice 😀 Absolutely loved the collection on saree.com and definitely shopping here the next time I need to buy ethnic wear. Highly recommended.
Also, I have a special coupon code for you guys which will let you avail INR 500 off on your cart value above 500. Its ‘SPCL500’ valid over next 30 days.
Have you checked out Saree.com yet? Which one is your favourite?

I don’t think you should miss this at all! Especially if you were eyeing that ‘IT’ bag or shoes, this is the time to grab it.
Come summers, sunglasses become an essential. It is very important to protect our eyes and the skin around from the sun’s harsh rays. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest in our body, so proper protection and care for the eyes are a MUST. While these days, there are so many different styles and designs doing the rounds, you can choose what suits your fancy.
Some trends still continue from 2014, while some styles are new additions in 2015. Lets see some sunglasses trends in 2015.
2014 was all high on cat eye, animal print and geeky glasses. Some trends we see right now and would see more of, in 2015 are:
1. Mirror glasses
Be it round frames,aviators or wayfarers, its all about mirror glasses and high reflecting mirror in blue,green,gray that is 😀 Its all about eye catching statement you see
2. Round frames
Yes, those Gandhi/John Lennon frames are all IN. From geeky to mirrored to the fancy designs, anything in round frames is trendy. and round + mirror is the bomb!
3. Soft Cat Eye
Cat eye glasses are still trendy this season but not the elongated cat eye as before, a soft,slight cat eye.
4. Elegant Details
Gold mesh detailing,swarovski, gold studs, etc,.are all the elegant details added by the designers to vary the look of the glasses.
5. Retro
Thicker rims and metal frames give the glasses a retro look which is also quite trendy nowadays.

The latest trend just IN is wooden and denim frames..I think they look pretty cool. From light to dark and round to square, all kinds of wooden frames. And so in denim too. Check out this round denim frames, how amazing do they look!

For people who have a hectic work schedule and have a long working hours, shopping can be a difficult thing to do, however, with the emergency of a plethora of online stores, shopping has become easy and quick. The online stores not only help you save time but also help you save a lot of money. However, the secret to saving money is knowing how to use the online coupon codes.
Just like the printed coupons that you find on the coupon magazines or the local classifieds, the online coupons can be used to get a discount or rebate on the things that you purchase from the online stores. In the recent times, the online shopping coupons have become a huge hit; they have completely changed the way people shop online these days. If you have no prior experience using the coupon codes, read on to know how you can save money with these coupons:
First and foremost you need to find the coupons online. If you have already made your decision about buying the product from a particular store, you can simple Google the terms (Store name) online coupons. For instance, if you want to a buy a dress or shoes from jabong, you can search for Jabong coupons and you will find a full list of coupons that is available at that particular point of time.
One of the important things to know is that the online coupons are of two types. One is the discount coupons, which allows you to buy a particular item at 30% or 50% discount and the other type is the complimentary coupon, which allows you to get free items on purchase of a particular product or on the purchase of goods for a certain amount. To avoid any confusion while you redeem the coupon code make sure that you choose the right product.
Although a large number of online shoppers today use the discount coupons while shopping, major of them tend to ignore the validity date the coupon. You must know that each and every coupon comes with a certain validity date and if it is not used within the validity period you would not get any discount. Therefore while looking for a discount coupon it is important to check its validity period before using the code while shopping. Typically, most of the online stores, regularly update their coupons and remove the ones that have expired. If you have subscribed for the newsletter service of a certain online store, you can be rest assured of getting the latest coupons through e-mail.
To save money on your online shopping it is advisable that you prepare a list of the things that you wish to buy and then decide which products are your urgent needs and which are the ones that you can afford to buy on a later date. Online shoppers suggest that by doing this, they can save up to 50% more money.
Thus there are many advantages of using coupon codes while shopping online so if you are keen to avail these benefits change your regular shopping habit and get the online coupons and keep saving every time you purchase online.
