You’d have watched me use my new Tupperware Ultimo Speedy Chef to mix the cake batter.

Tupperware Ultimo Speedy Chef is such a fuss-free, easy-to-use kitchen tool for working men and women and also for those who don’t like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and for those who are constantly in search of something that makes cooking easier. This small kitchen aid is dishwasher and microwave safe and takes very little space in your kitchen. It comes with an anti-skid foot ring. It also has measurements written on the body which is really helpful. This Speedy Chef is basically a manual whipping and whisking tool that could be used to beat eggs for omelettes, make mayonnaise, mix cake batter, whip fresh cream, whisk egg whites faster than your usual whisk and also, it is noise-free, unlike your electric beater. Obviously, it is not as fast as an electric beater but you can regulate how much smooth or coarse you want your mixture to be. Plus, it has a hole on the top of the handle which allows you to add flavourings while mixing or whisking anything. Here is all that you can do with your Tupperware Ultimo Speedy Chef-

  • Prepare whipped cream for decorating cakes and desserts. Add flavouring such as vanilla essence through the funnel.
  • Prepare light pancake batters, omelettes, mousses and other whisked desserts.
  • Prepare light mayonnaise or dips. Remove the cover and whisk in your favourite freshly chopped herbs and flavouring.
  • Prepare wonderfully light sponge cakes, pavlovas and meringues by beating up egg whites in the Speedy Chef.

Hey, guys! Today’s post will be a review on another new product that was launched this month. As you can tell from the title, today’s review is about the new member of the Lakme 9 to 5 family and it is their Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Colour. I am a lover of matte lipsticks. Lately, I have been really into liquid matte lipsticks and lip creams. So, as I came to know about these Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color, I knew I had to get at least one of those. Considering the seasonal vibes and upcoming weddings, I chose to get a bold lip colour. From what I could assume from the shade names, I thought the shade Crimson Silk would be the one I was looking for. Now, let’s jump into the review!

Price- Rs 575/- for 9g [Buy here]

Lakme 9to5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color Burgundy Lush Review| Cherry On Top

Packaging- The Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color lipsticks come in rose-gold cardboard boxes which house the pinkish tubes with rose gold screw caps. The shade names are written at the bottom of the tubes. The packaging is quite similar to any other liquid lipstick packaging. Like any other product from Lakme’s 9 to 5 range, this is also very attractive in terms of looks. The applicator is leaf-shaped which ensures a perfect application as it reaches the corners of the lips easily. The pointy tip is perfect to shape your lips.

Lakme 9to5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color Burgundy Lush Review| Cherry On Top

Shade- The shade that I got is Burgundy lush which is a beautiful brown-toned red. The warmth of this shade would flatter most Indian skin tones. The dark, brick-red shade is perfect for the winters. It would be great for Christmas celebrations and also for the weddings.

Pigmentation- Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color Burgundy Lush is intensely pigmented. Only one swipe of it gives an opaque coverage. It perfectly conceals dark patches on the lips.

Texture- As you can tell from the name of the lipsticks, they have a mousse-like texture. This unique texture gives them an airy, light-weight feel which makes them really comfortable to wear. They are so light that it feels you have nothing on your lips. I have the Miss Claire Soft Matte lipsticks which are the alleged dupes of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. Although I haven’t tried all the shades, but comparing the two that I have I can say that the Miss Claire Soft Mattes are definitely denser than the Lakme 9 to 5 Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek  Color. These lip & cheek colors are super blendable. Although they take a few seconds to set so you have to be really quick with them while applying. Apart from that, they blend quite easily and seamlessly giving you a subtle flush on the cheeks.

Staying Power- These two-way blush cum lipsticks has a pretty good staying power. On my lips, it stays for good 5-6 hours at a stretch. After that, it starts to fade away from the centre of the lips. For me, it survived a full-course dinner, with a little fading. Although it is not completely transfer-proof or smudge-proof, it doesn’t bleed either.

My Experience with Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color Burgundy Lush

Lakme 9to5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color Burgundy Lush on Medium Skin tone

Overall, I am quite happy with the one I got from the range. I do like their texture, blendability and staying power. The shade that I got, Burgundy Lush, is so gorgeous and it compliments my skin tone a lot. Being a mousse texture the lipsticks are not as drying as the other liquid lipsticks but it’s definitely not moisturising either. I have dry lips and it starts to get really dry on my lips from an hour after the application. It clings to the lips, accentuating the dryness. Those who have extremely dry lips should totally skip this.

The good things are that these lipsticks do not settle into the fine lines, they do not bleed and they are extremely comfortable to wear. These lipsticks are not completely transfer-proof. They are beautifully packaged, travel-friendly and they fit into your purse. I have combination skin and my cheeks are usually very oily most of the time. This lipstick as a blush lasted on my skin for 3-4 hours. I generally not into cream blushes but this one blends really well and gives a natural flush to the cheeks. I wish it lasted a little longer. Removing this lipstick is really easily. Just take some makeup remover onto a cotton round and hold it on your lips for 30 seconds and then wipe it away.

I would recommend these Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Colors if you like liquid lipsticks but want to try a less-drying version. Have you tried them? What are your views? Let me know if you try. Will talk to you in my next post. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

Three things that I have always (not so) secretly desired are a perfect matte red lipstick within budget, a wallet that never gets empty and a packet of healthy chips. Well, although I am still on a hunt for the first two but I have finally found the latter.

Recently, when my sister and I hosted a party at our place we though we should do something adventurous with the snacking option. As both of us were busy studying the entire day, we rejected the idea of cooking snacks ourselves and instead we thought of serving Terra Chips to our guests. I had heard a lot about this brand before and I did not want to miss this opportunity to try them.

We had three variants of Terra Chips- Original, Mediterranean Sea Salt and Blue Potato. We chose three different dips for our chips.

We served it at the beginning of the party and our girls loved them. Two batches were finished in minutes. It was that good. Generally people don’t like to stuff themselves with food at the beginning of a party, especially if it is chips or something fried. But, Terra Chips are not just chips, they are gourmet snacks with less oil and spice which is healthy and comforting.

At the end of the party, my friends said that they had never eaten something like it before. Our party-starter was a hit. I am quite sure Terra Chips would be a part of every party we will be attending after that party.

About Terra

Terra is a brand of chips that is famous across the globe for their exotic flavours and ingredients. If there is anything called a luxury snacks brand, that definitely has to be Terra. TERRA is a brainchild of two New York-based chefs Dana Sinkler and Alex Dzieduszycki.  This brand is famous for its gourmet snacking.

How is Terra Different from Others

Snacking Adventure with Terra| Cherry On Top

Snacking Adventure with Terra| Cherry On Top

Not typical to other brands, Terra is quite distinguishable from its packaging to taste. Terra chips are made with real vegetables. The exotic vegetables like Taro, Candy-striped beet, Blue potato, Batata, Yuca etc. are some of the main ingredients of these chips. Terra chips are a blend of these real, whole vegetables with mouth-watering flavours. These chips are not only a good blend of flavours but also a blend of vibrant colours.  The crunch, the taste will definitely take you on an exotic culinary journey.

My Experience with Terra Chips

When I received this beautiful black box with three variants of Terra chips, I was overjoyed. Firstly, I love healthy snacking (I should eat healthier though) and lastly because I had heard a lot of good things about this brand. I received the three variants, namely- Mediterranean Herbs and A Hint of Lemon, Original Sea Salt, and Blues Sea Salt. All of them tasted quite good. The Mediterranean and Original ones are made of Parsnip, Taro, Sweet Potato, Yuca and Batata and Blues is made of naturally blue potatoes. Among all three of them, Blues is my most favourite one. All these variants have the goodness real veggies in them and the veggies are non-GMO which means they are not genetically modified. In one word, they are wholesome. The flavours are fresh, really crunchy and less oily. It gives you a feeling as you are eating something healthy. These are also great as party starters when you serve the perfect assortment of snacks that is a treat to both your tongue and your eyes.

I would recommend you guys try at least a bag of this and try it out yourself. TERRA chips are available online on Amazon or you can buy them from your nearest Godrej Nature’s Basket store. I hope you guys found this review helpful. Don’t forget to comment and share if you did. See you in my next post. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

A lot of people feel inclined to learn how to do their own manicures, pedicures, and other beauty treatments at home on their own when they calculate how much they spend on these things each month. When they think about how much they spend actually paying a professional to do the job, maintaining the work that is done, as well as buying products to use at home, they see that they could save tons of money. They can invest in some nice equipment and nice products to do their own manicure and other beauty treatments. However, they need to learn the basic steps.

If you have gone to a professional many times to have your nails done, you can basically follow the process that the professional uses. Some people do not pay attention when they are getting their nails or toes done, so this quick reminder can be very helpful.

The very first thing that you want to do is start off with clean nails. This involves getting rid of nail polish and making sure that the nails are clean on top and underneath. Next, make sure that your nails are all the same length. This may involve trimming the nails as well as filing them. You want to give them a good shape, something that you will be comfortable with.

Do Your Own Manicure and Start Saving| Cherry On Top

Once your nails are all cleaned up and they have been trimmed and filed, you can begin the most relaxing part of the manicure. Soak your fingers or even your entire hands in warm water. Some people like to use a mild soap or another product that has been designed for this purpose. Soaking your hands in warm water not only relaxes you, but it loosens up the cuticles.

After your hands have soaked for a little bit, you want to take them out of the water and dry them up. Now you can begin working on the cuticles. Using the proper tools, push them back and trim them if necessary. Now that your hands are dry and your cuticles are in good condition, you can apply nail polish and a nail polish extender. You want to preserve the life of the nail polish as long as possible and help your manicure to last.

After your nails are done and the nail polish has dried, you want to apply moisturiser to your hands. Many individuals enjoy this part of the manicure. They may spend a lot of time just sitting back and looking at how pretty their nails look while allowing the moisturiser to soak in. As they rub the moisturiser in, they will do a small hand massage. This is a great way to end the manicure. Not only will your nails look great, but you will feel relaxed.

You guys must know Nykaa recently has come up with their own range of makeup. After the successful launch of their nail paints and bath & body products, Nykaa announced their new baby which is the ‘So Matte’ range of lipsticks. Ever since I saw Nykaa’s Instagram story about their new launch, I was determined to try them out as soon as they hit the market. I kept the promise and got two shades from the range. Today, I will be reviewing the Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks  for you.

Nykaa So Matte lipsticks have 13 shades in the range. The shade range has a quite diverse colour palette, from nudes to pinks, reds and plums. I liked how they tried to include at least one from each colour family. After investing a lot of time choosing two best shades from the entire range, I ended up buying Orange Vice and Pink Flirt. Continue reading this post for the review and some swatches.

Price- 399 INR

Packaging- The Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks come in very pretty reddish/pinkish watercolour patterned boxes. The lipstick bullets are housed in matte black cuboid cases that have metallic Nykaa logo on them. Each case has a magnetic closure to them which is really cool and convenient as it makes the lipsticks safe for travelling. I really liked the sleek and classy look of the lipstick cases. Although I am not a big fan of these cuboid-shaped lipstick cases as I find it difficult to have a good hold while applying directly with the bullet and also, they do not fit into my lipstick organiser. I don’t know if anyone faces the same problem or not but I do.

(L-R) Pink Flirt and Orange Vice

Shades- The two shades that I got from the Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks collection are Orange Vice and Pink Flirt. Orange Vice is a bright orange lipstick with a little bit of rust/brown undertones. Although this lipstick looks bright on the lips, it looks a bit toned down and rustier in the bullet. Pink Flirt, on the other hand, is a bright fuschia colour that will suit almost every skin tone. I love pinks with blue undertones as it makes my face brighter and my teeth whiter. I like both the shades.

Pigmentation- These lipsticks are very pigmented. You get an opaque application in the first swipe. Although I have noticed a patchy application on my upper lip which is darker than my lower lip. It happened with the shade Pink Flirt. Orange Vice had a smooth and opaque colour distribution.

Texture- Although, Nykaa describes their So Matte lipsticks as matte, they do not go with our usual notion of a matte lipstick. These lipsticks are in between matte and satin. The texture of Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks is very soft and creamy. They are not drying, easy to apply, they glide on the lips smoothly, feel comfortable on the lips and the application is even. Being creamy mattes, they are just perfect for winters.

Staying Power- Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks stay put on my lips for about 4-5 hours at a stretch, without any touch ups. I had applied the shade Pink Flirt during pandal hopping on Kali Puja (Diwali) and in spite of the hot and humid weather and light snacking every now and then it lasted quite long, for about 5 hours. It only starts fading from the centre afterwards. I am quite happy with its longevity.

My Views on the Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks

I am quite impressed with this new launch from Nykaa. These lipsticks are something that I can use every day during winters. My lips become very dry during winters and I don’t like putting on lipgloss, so choosing a lipstick for winters has always been a pain for me. I think I finally have got my perfect wintertime matte lippies. The best thing about these lipsticks is that they don’t settle into fine lines which a blessing for me because I have creases on my lips that make any matte lipstick look horrendous if I don’t hydrate my lips before the lipstick application. These Nykaa So Matte lipsticks are very hydrating that you don’t need any separate moisturisation before application.

Taking them off is quite a pain for me as they don’t want to come off completely even if you using a waterproof makeup remover. They leave a subtle tinge after you take it off. Other than that, I love them. These lipsticks smell like vanilla, the scent is pretty close to that of the MAC ones. They are creamy, hydrating, long-lasting and they don’t bleed. I think getting such quality withing a price-tag of only Rs 399 is quite a good deal. I would highly recommend these Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks to you guys. You can find them exclusively in the Nykaa website.

I hope you liked this review. Tell me what you feel about these lipsticks in the comments. I’ll be back with a new review very soon. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

Hi, guys! Hope you had an awesome Diwali. Today, I thought I should write about my latest discovery which is a website that sells all things cute and classy. You are are following me for quite some time then you would probably know that I am addicted to cute mugs, phone cases and stationary. I am always on a hunt for cute little things for my home, my desk and my gadgets. I have been rummaging through different websites for those mugs and phone cases usually seen on Tumblr. I had tried and failed several times. Many websites that sell those kinds of designs are mainly based outside India and as I don’t own a credit card or an international debit card I never could get them. It was until I found out about a website called Happoz.com.

Happoz.com has an array of designer accessories from mobile covers to t-shirts, sippers, coffee mugs, badges etc. The best thing about them is that you get to choose from various designs based on your choice and personality. I have had a really tough time choosing a perfect girly and cute mobile cover for my Samsung Galaxy J7 until I found this cute thing on Happoz.com!

Happoz.com Review and Experience| Cherry On Top

I had loved several things there and they have such a nice collection of stuff that one is bound to become indecisive. I tried really hard to not choose more than one thing because I had recently splurged on a few coffee mugs and so I thought of getting one mobile cover for me. The thing I liked about this website is that they have cases for plenty of mobile phone brands, almost every brand and every model was listed there. I am definitely going back to them to buy a few of the things I had wishlisted. Next time I am definitely going for a coffee mug. Here are a few things I liked from their range of mugs and phone back covers.

Happoz.com has a pretty nice collection of preset designs but you can also customise their products with your own images. Isn’t that cool? You can buy their products directly from their website.

Hello, all!

I hope you have had a great Durga Puja and Navratri. Today, I am going to talk about a new cleanser that I have been using for the past couple of weeks. It is the Organic Harvest Masseuscious Damage Control Cleanser, which the brand has recently launched. Organic Harvest, a brand that can be relied on blindfolded for their exclusive recipes of skincare and haircare products, sent the product to me to use, review and share my experience with you. After using it for more than 15 days at a stretch, I think I am now able to let you know about this product. So, let’s jump into the review-

Price- Rs 1495/- for 150ml (5.07 FL. Oz)

Organic Harvest Masseuscious Damage Control Cleanser Review| Cherry On Top

Packaging- Organic Harvest Masseuscious Damage Control Cleanser comes in a plastic bottle with a label on it containing all the details about the product and the company. The main attraction of this product lies within its dispensing system. It comes with a brush with ultra soft and flexible silicone bristles that is attached to a pump. This is the part that makes the cleanser most interesting.

Organic Harvest Masseuscious Damage Control Cleanser Review| Cherry On Top

Organic Harvest Masseuscious Damage Control Cleanser Review| Cherry On Top

Ingredients- Aqua, Organic Acai berry extract, Organic Decyl glucoside, Organic cocoamphodiacetate, Olive oil, Liquid shea butter and fragrance.

How to Use- You have to pump it to dispense the product out of the bottle. The pump dispenses the product out through the brush-head in the form of foam. So, you don’t have to lather the product up within your palms, the entire thing is done for you. When you see the product getting out of the bottle through the brush-head, you have to apply it onto your face with the brush. It is recommended to use in upward strokes in circular motions.

My Experience with Organic Harvest Masseuscious Damage Control Cleanser-

Ever since I received this product, I have been using it twice a day. It cleanses the face quite effectively without making it dry or stretchy. The shea butter and olive oil in it make sure your skin has the perfect balance of hydration even after washing it off. The brush that the product comes with is really helpful in order to get the cleanser work on your skin. It makes sure that the strokes are gentle and your skin is not irritated throughout the cleansing process. The silicone bristles are really soft on the skin so it does not trouble any existing acne on your face. This product works nicely on oily/combination skin, it is really effective in removing excessive oil from the face, leaving it oil-free for a long time.  I generally wake up with a greasy face every morning, but using this cleanser at night has made a difference. I don’t notice that much oiliness on my face when I wake up in the morning. Using this product in the morning helps me achieve a fresh look throughout the day. Although this cleanser works wonders in removing dirt and oiliness from your face, it barely does anything to reduce or remove acne. My face has been breaking out a lot lately so I can clearly tell that this cleanser has done nothing for my breakouts. I must use this for another couple of weeks and see if it prevents the appearance of acne or reduces the frequency. I will update you guys if anything like this happens.

Overall, I quite liked the Organic Harvest Masseuscious Damage Control cleanser. Being an Organic Harvest products, this cleanser has the benefit of plants so you don’t need to worry about the ingredients. The ingredients are 100% safe. The attached brush is an added benefit as it massages the product with the right amount of pressure as well as it gently exfoliates your skin while cleansing. I really liked the idea. The only thing bothered me is the price. I think it is a bit expensive for some. Other than that, I liked this product and I will recommend this to you guys.

Thanks for reading the entire review. If you liked then please do share it with your friends and family. I will be back with a new post soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

Disclaimer- Product sent by the brand in exchange for an honest review. 

If you are familiar with my preferences then you must have understood by now that I have a predilection for products that are made with all natural ingredients to use on my skin. Time and again, I have expressed my love for natural skincare products and I have also reviewed some of them. Recently (okay, it’s been over a month :/), I received a couple of products from Junaili which is a Nainital based skincare brand. Today, I am going to review those two products which are their Apricot Body Scrub and Oil.

Junaili, as I said is a Nainital based oil-pressery that uses 100% natural ingredients for their products. Their Apricot Body Scrubs and Oils are made of the finest apricots found in the Kumaon Himalayas. The products are totally safe for your body, they do not contain any chemicals, parabens and artificial fragrance. Their products are made in small batches to preserve quality. Now that we know about the brand, let’s jump into the review.

Junaili Apricot Body Scrub

Junaili Apricot Body Scrub| Cherry On Top

Price- 250INR for 125g

Packaging- The Junaili Apricot Scrub comes in a plastic jar packaging with a metallic (most probably, aluminium), golden screw lid. The jar is sturdy and the lid closes tightly, striking out any chance of spillage. Here is a little trivia about their labels, their labels are hand-written and then photographed and enhanced in photoshop. How cool is that!

Junaili Apricot Body Scrub| Cherry On Top

Junaili Apricot Body Scrub| Cherry On Top

My Experience- As I already have said, I have been using their products continuously ever since I receive them, that is for over a month now. I use this scrub every alternate day to exfoliate my body. I use this especially for my hands and legs because those are the areas that are mostly exposed and I need exfoliate them religiously to get a smooth skin. The scrub comes in a powder form. To make the scrub ready to apply, I take out about a tablespoon of product and mix it with plain water. You can definitely use rose water or milk according to your preferences. I use plain water because I am very lazy. I hop into the shower, take some product onto my palm, mix it with tap water and apply gently, in circular motions to my damp body.Ever since I have started using this product, my whole shower experience has changed. My skin feels soft and supple after every use. My hands and legs are really dry and this scrub doesn’t make them even drier.

Ever since I have started using this product, my whole shower experience has changed. My skin feels soft and supple after every use. My hands and legs are really dry and this scrub doesn’t make them even drier. The finely milled scrub particles are not too harsh, not too mild for the skin. They have the right amount of coarseness to them so that they don’t irritate the skin.

Junaili Apricot Body Oil

Junaili Apricot Body Oil| Cherry On Top

Price- 600INR for 240ml, 350INR for 120ml

Packaging- The packaging of this body oil is quite similar to the scrub except for that it comes in a plastic bottle and has a stopper inside the metallic screw lid. You have to open the outer lid first and then remove the stopper to take out the product. I have made a few tiny holes on the stopper which ensures that it dispenses the product in droplets. Again, this is a spillproof packaging. Being plastic packaging, these are easy to travel with.

Junaili Apricot Body Oil (2)

My Experience- Although I have a very dry body skin, I am not a lover of oils. Psychologically, the thought of letting my body come in contact with any kind of oil makes me feel disgusted. But, when I received the Apricot Body Oil by Junaili, I though to of giving it a tr only because of its ingredient. I have been using this oil daily after shower and I love how it works for me. I am glad that I tried this oil out. I like to use it after the shower, after towel drying my skin when it’s still damp. Applying it on a damp skin ensures it gets absorbed by the skin completely and also in this way it doesn’t make the skin too oily.

A regular use of this oil has made my skin softer and more smooth, especially in this time of the year when my skin needed something more. This oil has a long lasting effect on my body. It hydrates my skin for the entire day till the night which is a great thing!

Overall, I loved both the products. Using both of them together regularly has worked really well for me. I can sure see the glow it has added to my skin and also my skin feels a less dry these days. I am really happy with Junaili’s products. I like their oil more than their scrub and I might be buying another bottle for the winter. Their body oil is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, they are full of anti-aging properties and are claimed to have the power of diminishing wrinkles. They are safe for children. They have also introduced a new product which is a facial oil which I am planning to give a go. You can check out and buy their products at their merchant website. I’ll be back again with a new post very soon. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

Hi, everyone! Hope you are doing well. Autumn is right around the corner and it is the time to get ready for the upcoming festivities. In today’s post, I’ll be talking about a site that is famous for their amazing discount coupons and deals. I am going to talk about Groupon and how it can make your life easier.

Ever thought of pampering yourself without thinking about all the hassles of your life? If you are a working woman then you must have gone through a phase when you needed to get your eyebrows threaded or a hair spa but thinking about getting a salon appointment made you say “You know what? I can do it some other time!”. We keep giving us excuses so that we don’t feel guilty that we are not spending enough time on ourselves which is really important. Once in a while we all should gift our own selves some pampering, be it a trip to the salon or a movie theatre. We all love to see ourselves perfectly polished from tip to toe, but sometimes money seems to be an obstacle in the way. It is where Groupon coupons come in handy.

How many times have you thought of getting your nails done from the parlour and backed off? Now,no more of that backing off because Groupon Coupons are here. It does not only save your money but also your precious time.

How to Seal a Groupon Deal:

Getting a Groupon deal is easier than it might sound to you. You just have to go to the category of deals based on your concern and select the relevant deal and make the payment. Has it ever been that easy? No.

Groupon has a number of great deals on a various category of services. You just have to choose yours from the numerous Health, Beauty & Wellness Groupons and you can save a lot of money. The only thing that makes me sad is that they are not available in India at this moment. Hope they consider serving their international admirers too.

I hope you found this piece of information helpful. If you are residing in the US or any other Groupon serviceable area then I would highly recommend giving their services a go. They have really exciting deals across categories. That’s it for this post. I will come back with another one very soon. Until then, be safe & keep smiling!
