“Blessed are those who eat greens, for they shall keep their teeth. Blessed are those who wash their hands after wiping their arses, for they shall not sicken. Blessed are those who boil water, for they shall be called saviors of mankind.” 
― Diana GabaldonThe Fiery Cross

Third month of Healthy Food Series and I am glad that we are still holding up to our commitment towards “healthy lifestyle” and “conscious eating!” (Agreed, its tough. But then, so is life!) Well, continuing with our journey of nutritious and nourishing regime, here comes the latest tip from iScriblr.

Show Me Some Money!

Hey Everyone! “How you doin’?”

Last Monday, Forbes released a list of the world’s wealthiest women in the World, and boy oh boy, these women ROCK. Well, I couldn’t have thought of a better time and moment to write about these “women of substance!” – Why not? Its Women’s History Month y’all! Yayyyyy! I agree, we all have our unique ways of acknowledging “women power” and “sisterhood”. Appreciating and valuing (and of course, showing off) their hard work and effort works just fine for me. Woot! Woot!

Desperate Housewife (Not!)

“It’s sad if people think that’s (homemaking) a dull existence, [but] you can’t just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It’s the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don’t want my husband and children to come home and find a rattled woman. Our era is already rattled enough, isn’t it?” 
― Audrey Hepburn

Healthy Food Series – Celebrity Bizarre Eating Habits

Happy Tuesday y’all! It’s time for the weekly Healthy Food Series on iScriblr.

Well, guess what – Oscars happened! With “The Shape of Water” winning the Best Picture and Gary Oldman and Frances McDormand winning the Best Actor and Best Actress respectively, life has been star-studded and glamorous! (Ha! yes, being a crazy TV person does have its advantages and folly!) Keeping up with the Oscars frenzy and acknowledging the hard work and industriousness of our celebrities, it’s time for iScriblr to include them in the weekly Healthy Food Series. Yes, you heard it! This Tuesday, on Healthy Food Series – it is all about the stars and their BIZARRE EATING HABITS!

From Mariah Carey’s all-purple diet to Karl Lagerfeld’s separate house for dining (rich people problems!), here are some of the most bizarre eating (and necessarily not healthy!) habits of the stars –

1. MADONNA

It has been exactly 30 years since Madonna exploded into the public consciousness with her debut album Madonna and what great years they have been! A diva, a celebrated superstar and “Queen of Pop” – Madonna is undoubtedly an invincible Goddess. She holds the record for the most number-ones on all combined Billboard charts, including twelve number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and eight number-one albums on the Billboard 200. With 46 songs topping the Dance Club Songs chart, Madonna became the artist with the most number-one songs on an active Billboard chart! (Woah, right!)

About her bizarre eating habit –

“Madge sometimes follows the Air Diet. Its rules are simple : You hold your food, but do not eat your food. Got that?” 
The not-so-famous Air Diet – involves all the steps of preparing food, up until you bring it to your mouth, at which point you breathe in the delicious aroma without consuming a single morsel of it. This diet allows you to have boiled water with salt, and that’s it!

Hey y’all!

Long Easter weekend, spring break, rainy days or just another regular “home-alone” Friday night? Aching to “binge-watch” something? Well, here is iScriblr for the rescue! (Ha, finally my Super Woman dream comes true!) Jokes apart, I present to you all a list of top 6 series to watch on Netflix, specially curated by me,  the self proclaimed TV-obsessive! Myriad of genres, nail-biting dramatization, tragedy, horror, stories of deceit, parables of imagination with admirable characters and performances, these shows are excellent in every way. “Netflix and Chill” takes on a new meaning with this list of must-watch shows.

Grab on to some pop-corns, cozy up in your blankie and splurge all that you can! Get, set – Go!

Flash Flood Warning

Hey Everyone! Happy Thursday y’all! (Just another day till the weekend! Yay!)

Well, while I was eagerly waiting for the winters to end (yes, I have had enough!), seems like the weather Gods had something else in mind! With a record-breaking rain since February 1949, Memphis (and the Mid-South) had what we call is the “Flash Flood Warning!” With almost 13.43” (which is around 9″ above normal) of rain so far over the span of last few weeks – life for sure, has been gloomy, damp and slushy. Thankfully, Memphis is point 5” away from the flood flight activation trigger, so we are safe for now. (Phew!)

“You should never try to out guess Mother Nature because when you do, you come off second best.”

Making most of the little sunshine that we experienced today, I managed to click a few pictures for you all to see. The massiveness and immensity of Mississippi River, brimming in its full glory – is a sight to behold and adore. With submerged trees, swamped walking trails, sunken conduits, drowned saplings, floating planks and invisible tracks – it’s a picture which is both intimidating and impressive at the same time.

Happy Tuesday y’all! It’s time for the weekly Healthy Food Series on iScriblr.

It’s been two months (almost!) and 6 “super-foods” – since I started with my “health consciousness” journey. I agree, sticking up with your New Years Resolutions doesn’t seem to be that impossible any longer. Some visualization, certain motivation and a great deal of dedication – walah, you start a TREND! Keeping up with the fad of being cognizant of the health benefits and clean regime, here comes my newest aid to a “healthful lifestyle!”

Our star of the day for Healthy Food Series is  – KALE!

Tsunami In Memphis

Hey Everyone! Happy FRIYAY!

Well, it’s been a while that I have written about my travel antics and reviews on restaurants and eating joints. Thanks to the “not-so friendly weather” and “busy work-life balance” I have been all in-doorsy and hibernating, saving up on much-needed body warmth and eagerness! But when it is your 2nd Marriage Anniversary, you dress up, look your dapper best and step-out! And where do you go? Somewhere fancy! Someplace alluring! (Hint! Hint!)

Best Seafood, Most Creative Menu, Best Chef, Best Restaurant! Yes, that is Tsunami for you and that’s where we went to commemorate our wedding anniversary! (Oh yes, when your hubby takes you out for dinner at one of the best restaurants in town, you FLAUNT!)
