No Bake Candy Cane Truffles Recipe
December 24, 2015 • recipe
I have a surprise recipe post on the blog, something I've never experimented with before on here. Here are some 'No Bake' last minute Candy Cane truffles and as the name suggests they are coated with white chocolate and with an added minty peppermint taste. These are the perfect little sweets to nibble on during Chritsmas, when you have guests over or simply because you're craving something sweet. They are really easy to make, not too expensive and you can get loads of them made without losing time in baking, cooling and the whole process. Of course you can always buy truffles from the store, but this one's a fun recipe to make alone or with someone.
1. Add the flour, cake mix, sugar, butter, salt and vanilla/peppermint extract to a bowl and mix them together with a spoon.(You can also melt candy canes and use instead of peppermint extract if you want.) As it starts to form a dough like texture, use your hands to knead the dough well. Take your time with this step because it's what it'll make or break the taste of your truffles.
2. Make little truffle balls from the dough and keep them in the fridge to cool for 45 minutes.
3. Once they are cooled in the fridge and hardened, heat up your white chocolate by placing it in a bowl over a pan of water at medium heat on your gas. Keep stirring the chopped chocolate till it melts completely.
4.Pop in the balls one by one and cover them generously in the white chocolate. Pick them up with a teaspoon and keep them on a separate plate quickly before the white chocolate layer hardens on it.
5.Put all your truffles in little truffle cases from your local departmental store and sprinkle some crushed candy cane on top for some added minty taste!
I kept them in the fridge for another 10-15 minutes so that they completely harden with the white chocolate and then you're done!! Enjoy!

The Party Edit
December 14, 2015 • fashion, party
Hello lovely people!
I am bringing to you a little Christmas/ New Year's Party attire ideas. The inspiration behind this post is the concept of a Capsule Wardrobe except it's the Party edition! I've a got a couple of dress/outfits rounded up of different styles and colours, sticking to the basic party colours that I personally prefer - Black, Gold and anything with a little bit of sparkle. There's a whole list of shoes and accessories to go with them and the whole idea is to make them interchangeable where the dresses can be paired with more than one pair of bags & accessories set out for them. I hope you enjoy reading this!

I've been enjoying the cold weather in the Himalayas for the past two weeks only because it's still autumnal( or I like to believe so) and not nearly as cold at all. The weather outside is really pleasant and a easy breezy but there's no way I can put on this Fuzzy Pink Jumper from DOROTHY PERKINS yet. I can't wait to put this on, come December/January when it is going to be finally acceptable to put it on. It's honestly the softies, loveliest and the fuzziest jumper I own and what's better about it, it's pink! I was definitely inspired by Carrie Bradshaw and Chanel Oberlin for this outfit because they do their fur coats and fuzzies so well.
The one solid colour jumper goes perfectly with this Baroque print pants from last year(when it was actually very trendy) and everyone was wearing a pair. I personally can't really be too bothered with the trends all the time so I had to get this one out of the closet and my trusty black boots from FOREVR21 to go with them. This one's a way to dress down fur coats and fuzzy jumpers for the daytime or a casual, chill day where all I did was admire the mountains and drink a lot of tea.
TV Shows that got cancelled too soon

This one’s a little tribute all the lovely shows I started
watching one fine day, developed an interest and what do you know? A few
seasons later it has been cancelled with no reason and explanation. The show
comes abruptly to an end with no explanation whatsoever leaving burning
questions on my mind. Did my favourite character ever decide to go back home?
Did they have more kids? and the likes. Some hearts are shattered, some tears
are shed(as they make their parting episode extra emotional) and then we
literally move onto the next because of the emptiness every Tuesday night. Some
of these shows are easily forgotten and not heard of again(not even reruns?).This
list spans over a couple of years so it starts from back when I was only 15 to
the current year.
#1 Hart of Dixie –
This one goes first on the list because the
setting was perfect and the happiest, fuzziest thing to me. It was a show set
in a country town ( Southern U.S.A) called Bluebell where everyone had the best
country style honestly and their accents were to die for. The ladies were
primed, perfect and poised and the men so hot and the strong kind who can
possibly rodeo for real( or at least look like they do). They always had so
many festivals and events and those people sure took their town seriously and
it was the sweetest community I’ve ever seen on a show. They did have their
ocassional funny punches and of course, Rachel Bilson’s outfits were to die
for, who is actually a doctor on the show and comes to Bluebell from New York
and stands out from everyone else. It has been cancelled after four seasons but honestly
I’d re-watch them only for it’s cheesy and perfect at it.
#2 Bunheads –
This one was
shocker because it had one of
those abrupt endings and it seemed like
the writers weren’t expecting it to be cancelled and bam, it disappears with no
clear goodbye said. This one only ran for one season which breaks my heart
because I think it had the potential to be a good show in the future. This one
was based around a Las Vegas performer(Sutton Foster) who marries a guy while
she is drunk, who in turn introduces her to his mother, a very famous ballet
dancer in the past who runs a little ballet training class. She expresses her
old love for ballet and becomes a mentor for all the little ballet-loving,
inspiring high school girls of the town and their relationship develop into a
sweet and loving one. They also throw in some great ballet performances and
it’s sad to know that we never really come to know exactly how Michelle’s life
turned out.
