Recycling tip! : 
The bottles, with their spray diffusers make good plant sprays when empty.

What I think:
It's absorbed by the skin easily, and doesn't leave skin all liquid-y like some other sprays. Love it!

So I ended up buying those 3 produts from Shanti, besides the asafoetida - oh, I also bought a packet of organic millet flakes.


Moving on to Shana!! I bough 2 tops from the Birkirkara outlet. There's also a smaller shop in Rahal Gdid.


 Website: www.shana.com

- Sleeve-less sheer star blouse  : I fell in love with this top the instant I saw it. There will be an opening party next Saturday, and will probably buy the black version as well . . . .  So this is an example of how I would wear it. Jeans are from Peacocks. Shoes are from Debenhams and bag is from ebay (received it yesterday - I love it!!)



- Long comfy top : As soon as I saw it, I pictured me wearing it with leggings. So comortable. Also available in other colours. Leggings from Accessorize, boots from New Look.



I took my new favourite vegetarian  cook book (Kitchen of Love - Dada Shantimaya) with me in the car so I can see which dessert too cook. I decided to make the banana cake!! I love bananas!!

Here's what you need to make it:
- 4 ripe bananas - mashes
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

First, pre-heat oven to 180 degrees.

In a bowl, combine flour , baking soda and salt.



In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar and oil.Then add the bananas.Add water and vanilla.


Now, add the flour mixture to the second mixture and stir.


Then empty in a greased and floured baking tray and bake for 45 - 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean

 
 and FINALLY:



It's sooooo good  ;)

That's all for today ! Please leave your comments below!!
