Yello! I was planning to put up a post of my eats today but I didn’t really get my act together in terms of taking photos. Ah well there’s always next week :)! In the meanwhile, I’m going to use today as an opportunity to play catch-up in terms of my current favorites…especially as February is already around the corner!
Current Book: I recently read Cooking Up a Business: Lessons from Food Lovers Who Turned Their Passion Into a Career — And How You Can, Too. It was so inspiring to read that companies like Love Grown Foods & Popchips started from home. I’d recommend this book to anyone interested in starting his/her own business, food-based or not.
Current Guilty Pleasure: How about a pleasure that I don’t feel about? Holiday planning :)!
Current Music: Love Ellie Goulding’s Love Me Like You Do...which is from the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. Tell me I’m not the only one looking forward to the film’s release.

Current TV Show: I just caught up to date with How to Get Away with Murder- what a cliffhanger! I think I might finally start watching Scandal….better late than never!
Current Drink: Infused water is my jam these days. I’ve been filling up big jugs of water with orange & strawberry slices and it makes water so much more enjoyable to drink.
Current Obsession: Given I asked the store assistant for the biggest bottle of Johnson’s baby oil, it’s safe to say I’m pretty obsessed. Along with using it as a massage oil & natural facial cleanser, I’ve been rubbing it on my heels before going to bed and wearing socks over it to prevent cracked heels…works like a charm!
Current Food: Strawberries- I may or may not be buying a new box every other day!
Current Instagram Fave: Humans of New York– the captions tend to evoke all kinds of emotions
Current Bane of My Existence: Understanding the back-end of blogging. You would think that blogging for over 4 years would make me tech savvy but I won’t lie- trying to wrap my head around some of the terms/coding/etc really throws my head for a toss.
Current Indulgence: After my first facial last week (which was amazing), I went and “splashed out” at Forest Essentials– night cream, day cream…the works! Next stop is Kiehl’s! Especially given I used to buy the most basic (read: cheapest) of products, spending almost 3x more on face cream sure feels like an indulgence.
Current Blessing: From the Charlie Hebdo case in Paris to Boko Haram in Nigeria, I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that just being alive is a huge blessing.
Current Need: I know I’m not the only one drooling over the new Ben & Jerry’s new cookie core line. I don’t care what dairy does to me, I need to try these flavors ASAP.
Current Mood: It’s Thursday, which means tomorrow is Friday so wahoooo!
Current Triumph: Waking up this morning to go for a walk. I consider that a triumph because it was this close to being Bed – 1, Khushboo – 0 #comfybedproblems
Current Link: Shameless plug right here but check out my latest post on India Today’s new website Daily O: Healthy eating in five easy steps.
What’s your current…
…Instagram fave?
…food?
…mood?
Seriously, with everything that has been happening lately, it’s been scary!
Congrats on the posting- I’ll check it out now! And Ben And Jerry’s JUST came to Australia. Give us 10 years, and we might get those flavours. By then, they will probably have released a nut butter.
Hahah don’t fret too much- we are still YET to get B & J in India!!
Oh wow I need to find out if we have those B&J flavours yet – they are frickin geniuses! Def checking out that book – I’m literally devouring business-type books atm – so inspirational it’s been really making me start putting stuff into action!
Ooh do you have any to recommend? Definitely check out this book- I think you would love it , Cat 🙂
I haven’t read the 50 Shades books, but I am definitely planning on going to see it in theatres with a few friends (and wine haha)!
Haha without sounding pervy, I thought the books were fab 🙂
Gratitude is so important these days, and yes – there’s a lot of scary things going on in the world. I’m actually not planning on seeing the 50 Shades movie (like ever) but I won’t get into that here ;).
Haha perhaps a future blog post? Would love to read your views on 50 Shades :)!
I love your post for India Today!! Simple and sane advice. I read all the 50 shades books but I have to admit I didn’t really like them. I only read them to see what all the fuss was about. I am not planning on seeing the movie, but I might change my mind 😉
Those B&J ice cream flavors sound amazing but unfortunately I don’t think we’ll get them in Switzerland. We have like 2-3 flavors and it’s only the basic ones like chocolate chip cookie dough.
My current food is… Medjool dates!! They are so good, especially stuffed with nut butter. Simply amazing 🙂
Current mood… impatient for the weekend to start!!! I’m going skiing in the Alps and I cannot wait!
Thanks so much, Letizia :)! If I lived in Switzerland, I’d be too busy eating my weight in Lindt & Toblerone to even consider American ice cream ;)! Have a blast skiing this weekend!!
Congrats on the article girl, that’s great stuff! And I LOVE the song.
Current mood is excited as I will road tripping to Munich tomorrow for a Powerlifting seminar by my coach. Will be fun!
Ah have an amazing weekend, Lucie- be sure to pack lots of snacks for your road trip 😉
Haha I feel the exact same way about the new Ben and Jerry’s flavours – they may make me look eight months pregnant, but they will no doubt taste amazing!! And my guilty pleasure is looking forward to the 50 Shades movie haha 🙂
Haha glad I’m not the only one!! And let me know if those flavours come to London anytime soon :)!
I’m down in Louisiana in the southern US this week, where they are all about fried food and seafood. I had a fried shrimp poboy (basically a submarine sandwich), and it was oh so good. I’m kind of with you on the “I don’t care what it does to my stomach”. My stomach is unhappy and my skin feels extra oily, but it was delicious!
Oh woah- that sandwich sounds so delicious…and worth it!!!
Love the “currently” idea for a post! I might borrow the idea 😉
Please do- would love to read your answers 🙂
Whattttt?! I hadn’t seen those B&J flavors. I’m going to down all of them post-competition.
Sounds like the best way to celebrate!!
Ummm, I need those Ben & Jerry’s flavours too!! Those sound amazing.
Don’t they!!
I totally feel ya on the back-end of blogging. I feel like no matter how much I learn, there’s still so much that I don’t know. And to make things even more fun, it’s always changing! But I honestly have no idea where my life would be without blogging, so I can’t complain about it… too much 😉
I feel you, girl…blogging can be the most enjoyable yet the most frustrating hobby at times!!
Ohh what’d you think of “How to Get Away with Murder?” We were hooked from ep 1!
And congrats on yet another published article!!! You’re on a roll…keep it up!
LOVED the show- I thought it just got better with each episode. Any idea when the next episode is out?
Congrats on your post on India Today’s new website Daily O! WOW-that’s epic, lady!
And I just love your current blessing – I feel the very same Khushboo!
My current need is a blender – actually it was a want a year ago but is turning into a need these days! And My mood is happy – 3 more hours to get this weekend started -woohoo!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks, Shashi! Check out the Oster blenders- that’s what I use and I can’t say enough good things. Super powerful & reasonably priced!
Whoa that IG account is amazing. My favorite account right now on IG is…uhh…anything food related? haha I don’t have one favorite. FAIL. Favorite food right now is anything carb related.
Yes to all the carbs 😉
Hi K! Happy Friday to you! I like your list of currents. I’ve been a big baby oil fan for years. In fact, I use it as my eye make-up remover. So cheap and easy. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
I’m finding it fantastic as a make-up remover! Enjoy your weekend too, Ashley 🙂
Some things are just worth the dairy. I’d say cheese is one of them, and I’d definitely toss Ben and Jerry into the mix too.
Awesome job on your post in India Today’s news website. That’s fantastic news.
Thanks so much for the support, Meg 🙂
