Who Cannes relate?

What.a.week!

As I mentioned in my last post, I flew to Cannes over the weekend.  I was attending my best friend’s bro’s wedding.  I don’t even know where to start, but I’m thinking “unreal” & “magical” sound about right.  Other than the venues of each function & La Croisette, I didn’t get a chance to see Cannes so I can’t tell you too much about the city.  Although I can tell you that Indians sure know how to party…and that I don’t want to see a bottle of Café Patron for a long time.  Gah just the thought of it makes me nauseous. I know downing shots, eating Nutella sticks for breakfast and sleeping 4 hours per night hardly epitomises a healthy living blogger, but I’m just keeping it real here.   If it helps my case at all, I kept up with my workouts…on the dance floor :).

Although major post-wedding blues are still in full force, it’s good to be back into routine in terms of food. I got back to London on Tuesday night & hit up the grocery store first thing on Wednesday morning for a few essentials.  Based on past experience, I find that stocking my fridge with nutritious options make it all the more easier to eat healthier.  It also helps when salads & grilled salmon start to sound way more appealing than a pizza or slice of cake.

Whoever said eating healthy is expensive clearly isn’t doing it right.  I got all of the above for £13…not too shabby!  Other than that, I’ve been enjoying my last few days in London before I head back to Mumbai.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the rain clears up over the weekend.  Unfortunately the weather forecast doesn’t look promising at all.  Anyways I just wanted to pop in & say “Hi”– hopefully I will be back to posting normally from next week!

Have a great weekend, guys!

 What’s the first thing you do after a vacation?

Where would be your ideal place to get married?  If you already are married, where did your wedding take place?

  1. I thought you had decided to leave the blogworld and set camp in Cannes (Although the sound of that sounds amazing… haha)

    I’ve been to two Indian weddings and I must say- It is unlike any I’ve ever been to. The colours, the partying, the food, the TIME (One went over 3 days!).

    Enjoy your time in London, hopefully you can meet up with our favourite pig 😉

  2. Oh please post somr pics of the wedding aka you and Mr.Khan 😉
    I will using a link to your IG in my post today hope thats ok.
    Enjoy the last few days in London.
    I am always in the vacation mode for two more days after getting back…lol. Then it hits me and I start cleaning the chocolates(mostly by eating lol)

    I got married in a small town but flew to Hawaii four days later so that makes up for it I guess.
    😉

  3. Sounds like such a fun weekend! Weddings are always a good time. Actually, I can’t really attest to that because the last time I was at a wedding I was probably 8 or 9? And I’m sure weddings when you’re of legal age are a heck of a lot more fun. 😉

    I love the feeling of stocking up on groceries when I get home from vacation. Although if we’re being honest, the first thing I do when I get home from vacation usually is plop down on the couch in front of the tv for a few hours haha.

  4. Bonus points for getting your workouts in – on the dance floor, in the pool – doesn’t matter where 🙂
    Awesome stash you have there for your post-vacay! I, too, have found that fruits and veggies are not as pricey as eating out or raiding the processed food isles!
    One of the first things I do when I get back is make me a cup of coffee – I do love MY coffee and after a week or 2 of hotel or Starbucks coffee – I am jonesing for my own version.
    I don’t think I have an ideal place – tome, if it’s the ideal guy, place won’t matter… so corny right?!?!?! GAH!
    Hoping you have a wonderful time in London before heading to Mumbai – safe travels dear

    1. Ohh I’m so with you about coffee at home- I start to miss it after a while! And I love your approach to weddings- the ideal guy will make any location ideal 😀

  5. Oh Cannes!!! I only know the airport from my Flight Attendant times, but I think it is gorgeous. Good to have you back though girl, I missed you!
    I definitely ALWAYS go shopping first thing when I get back. Me and an empty fridge are NOT friends at all.

  6. Indian weddings are kind of like one giant aerobics class! That’s why I never worry about working out – the dance floor is my gym! LOL!

    The first thing I do after a vacation is…go grocery shopping! You’re absolutely right, it’s so nice to stock your fridge and pantry with good food because the last thing I want to do is go out to eat again.

    And V and I got married in our hometown of Atlanta at a Marriott. It wasn’t picturesque but it fit the bill in terms of what we wanted! 🙂

  7. Sounds like one hell of a wedding! I don’t think I’ve ever been to one quite that intense before, but I’d like to :-p

    My mom went to Fiji a few years ago and was describing a destination wedding that she saw there, and it sounded awesome (it involved the bride being carried in on a platform by hot Fijian men, so that’s probably why I loved the idea so much). I don’t think I would do a destination wedding, but if I changed my mind that’s where I would want to go.

  8. Goodness, sounds like a super fun weekend!
    Pretty sure I’d love to attend something like that, sounds like a great great time.
    Stocking up on groceries after a trip is the best feeling. I love having my regular foods back in rotation after being away.
    I actually don’t want to get married – so no ideal place for me!

  9. I’ve missed youuuuu! But I’m glad to hear that you had an awesome time dancing, drinking, and eating good food — it’s all about balance, right? :mrgreen:

    I’m not entirely sure where I’d like to get married, but I know that I want a small wedding with just family and friends in some far off place. At first I thought I wanted a big local wedding with tonnes of people, but an intimate getaway just feels so much more my style.

    Oh, and post-vacationining? I SLEEP.

    1. Our approach to weddings are so in sync- I want a small one too with only close friends & family whose presence actually matter!

  10. Girl, you went to CANNES for a wedding! Man, that must have been some wedding. Yes, desis do know how to party. I visited Cannes 2 years ago, but I was in love with Nice.. definitely worth another visit. 🙂
    My ideal wedding location would be Santorini, it is paradise, I can only imagine with a sunset backdrop how amazing the experience would be. I got married in Jersey at a hotel… so cliche.

  11. a wedding in Cannes doesn’t sound too shabby! It is SO beautiful there. Don’t blame you for the post-wedding blues. I’d love to get married on a vineyard in california…dream big right? Ha definitely not going to happen!

  12. Indian weddings do rock. I went to a Pakistani wedding once, and it was over the top and incredible. Talk about some serious jamming on the dance floor.
    When I get home from vacation, I head to the grocery and restock. Like you, I’m usually craving salads and tons of veggies. Have a great rest of your trip and safe travels home.

  13. Everyone went to this wedding!! Half my relatives were there lol.. Wish I could have come too! My dad was actually here so I also went overboard on the indulgence, but absolutely nothing beats the feeling of the huge whole foods shopping bag I lugged back after.. Pb&b oatmeal never tasted so good 🙂

    I want to get married in Greece.. Athens maybe. Or Mykonos!! 🙂

    1. Ah a shopping bag full of Whole Foods goodies is always exciting :D! A friend of mine married in Athens- I couldn’t make it but it looked awesome!

  14. That is pretty amazing for all that food! I’m guessing Marks? Love Marks. Please have a nicoise for me?

    Cannes is so beautiful. It was a stop on our honeymoon 100 years ago. I still remember how great that city was.

    1. Ah I love Marks but this loot was from Sainsbury…will have to remember to try the nicoise on my next trip (no meals left to give it a shot now)!

  15. Clever title, girlie…very impressed! And I also love that you share the healthy and the not-so healthy moments on the blog…love your intro paragraph! It really is all about balance and just, well…LIVING LIFE!

    The first thing I do after vacation is unpack! Ha! Yeah right! Usually I’m still living out of my suitcase a week later! Most of the time I hit up the grocery store or farmers’ market…I’m with you, having the fridge stocked with healthy food always helps get back on track!
