Good morning everyone!

I thought I would like to share my experience on shopping on Myntra app today morning, I know that most of you are struggling with the app sale at this very moment. Those of you have gotten through your cart and proceeded to check out, High-five yourselves because you were the lucky ones.

I had picked up quite a few things and added to my wishlist over the past few days. I found their app really cool but I was also very sad that they have stopped their e-commerce page on the net.
And let me tell you, I have shopped with them earlier and had amazing experiences. But that was not the case today. I woke up at 7 am and checked my wishlist, everything seemed fine and under control. By 8 am, they had promptly opened up their app store for the ongoing sale.

I browsed through some of the brands. I needed new gym shoes and gym pants. I clicked on Nike and was happy to see they had good stock of what I wanted, I proceeded to put them in my cart. But I experienced trouble there. Then on started the glitches, while trying to register the product into my cart, it kept saying, 'Sorry, error of some sort.' it took a lot of clicking to get the item into the bag. Once it was in the cart, it was showing the wrong size. So I had to go back again to the product and click on the size, after some three to four tries, it happened to move into the cart. Hallelujah! Then the app booted me out saying that there were too many customers online so I had to wait my turn. 20 minutes!!!!! I was getting hungry. It was already 10am by then. I wished I could atleast see my cart and proceed to check out but that option was not available. Crisis!!! Hungry woman getting a migraine and wanting gym shoes. GRRRrrrrrrrrAAAAAARrrrgh.

So I saw that I was being timed in line and I had 15 minutes before I could get on again to shop, so I quickly went for a shower, when I came out I was still at 15 minutes. In another two minutes, the waiting time showed 20 minutes again. Oh MY Freaking Gawwwwd!!!

I thought forget it, let me just go and eat. So i prepared breakfast at 11:30am!!! Had it and went back to the app. This time I had to wait another fifteen minutes before it opened up and I went directly to my cart. All the items I had placed in there had changed back to the original price. The glitches kept cycling faster and the impatient guru that I am thought- What the heck is going on? By then I had had enough of the sale and I closed my app. I decided I would wait out till they fixed their glitches for the next sale. So FRUSTRATING, Myntra! Especially when I had actually found good items in your site this time. Booohoooo!!!

I really hope they fix their glitches and deals with the sellers before they venture out to ruin our mornings. Kind of reminded me of the fox that thought the grapes were too sour. They were truly too sour this morning. Bye Bye Mint Nike shoes, Bye Bye gorgeous check shirt, Bye Bye Nike track pants, Bye Bye pretty pink T-shirts. :(

Gap Blue No. 655 Eau de Toilette for Her

It is definitely after a 'gap' that I've been publishing on the blog (no pun intended).
I had to take a break not just from the blog but also from the monotony of my daily routine.
There was this feeling of wanting to break free and run. And so I did. I packed the bare minimum and got away as I fast I could before minds were changed. There was no planning, there was no making lists, just pure basic fun of traveling and getting away. I've returned with added enthusiasm and a zest for doing what I always do.

I've always needed a perfume in summer as it tends to get really hot and muggy out here in Mangalore. The humidity is so..what's the word....UGGGH! And I have to work for long, hard and painful hours which leaves me a mess. A stinky mess, I would like to avoid saying but hey! Well, that's what it is. And so the summer perfumes come out of my collection which when it comes to scents is very minimal. I have maybe 2 or 3 which includes essential oils because I do not favor the strong smells that the eau de toilettes impart. It gives me migraines that make me want to shower and get the smell off of me or from the person who is standing next to me wreaking of it.


This was definitely a gift from a very special person. I wouldn't have chosen it for myself. But after a few tries, I beg to differ. It's definitely what I reach out for currently.


They have a version for the boys, too, of the same perfume and I have not tried that out.
It comes in very clean and basic packaging, all white which is something that I really like.


On un-boxing, you get this beautiful crisp bottle. Simplistic in design and very basic. Just like the way I like my perfume bottles. I don't like fancy, freakish designs with girly bows, glitter and odd shapes.
This perfume was launched in 1997. It is a very green and floral fragrance.

GAP BLUE FOR HER

It is sort of citrus smelling, musky and fresh all in one go when you just spray it on.
The fragrance has mandarin, orange, green leaves, cyclamen and bergamot in it.
It is not too heady or strong. As the day wears, it starts getting milder and for me, more pleasant.
Very casual, summery and easy going scent.
I've heard that it is a little hard to find so I am not sure if it has been discontinued as some of my friends who used to use it earlier have had a tough time getting it.


I quite like it for the day time and can easily find myself finishing it off this summer itself.
Not too sure if I would re-purchase it though as I would still go for something milder. Yup, that's my nose.

There will be more reviews in store. Slowly but surely. I just love to write and I can never grow tired of blogging. It's really a wonderful passion and I have connected to so many of you lovely people out there. It's liberating. So until my next review, stay fresh and keep the comments and mails coming. I love to hear from all of you <3
