Whooo, this was fun! I tried this on a whim, having no experience with Indian culture, especially not dancing, but the Youtube clips for bhangra workouts looked so full of energy and joy, I had to try it myself. I can’t do the routine properly or even follow the whole video in my current shape, but boy oh boy, did I enjoy myself! Anything that makes me this happy while exercising gets extra super triple bonus points in my book.

That being said, I can see how this video wouldn’t work for some people. The instructor’s voice can be a bit grating (I prefer to see it as strong and commanding ;) plus I kinda like those “op! op!” sounds she’s making) and the music repetitive (hey, it’s easier to get into a dancing/exercising trance that way), some moves are complicated and the pace is fast, the production is minimalistic (looks like they pulled some stuff out of a closet, booked the local amateur theater for one morning and shot the video with a home camera) but who cares, as long as it works. :)

This was a very satisfying read. You know, like eating a really good meal, then sitting down on a comfy chair in a sunny spot, licking your lips and patting your belly and going “mmmm, that was good”. That’s how I felt after reading this.

WTF is with the soundtrack?? At first I thought it was a nice touch, trying to get the sounds of an era just right, but then they mixed it all up, using music from a different time for the scenes and it didn’t really work out.

I’ll refrain from commenting on everything else that got on my nerves.

During the recent month or two, my skin had a complete freakout. I think it was because of combination of cold weather, dry air due to central heating and weather changing. My skin was dry as parchment (and had very similar texture and ‘feel’!), putting on any kind of cream left me in agony, I had a proper bonanza of red splotches and pimples, during the day I could feel my skin itching and tingling…

This cream, made for sensitive baby tuches, made it all go away. My skin feels nourished, smooth and there’s not a pimple in sight.

Too heavy for me, too pricey for no visible effect.

My skin didn’t like this particularly. I think it may have even been the cause of my pimple outbreak!

A lovely ending to the series. Just the right mix of romance and fantasy.

I stole this from a lad. ;) Delicious smell, a bit too greasy for the face, but very good for hands, elbows and feet.

Welcome to the world of the most dimwitted investigator ever. The biggest plothole is how that man could miss so many clues and leave practically all of the unknowns unresearched but still be a well-known, successful investigator. Anyway, I connected all the dots in the first hundred pages or so and spent the next 200+ pages “dotting the i-s and crossing the t-s”.
