CELEBRATING TEN YEARS OF BLOGGING WITH A CONTEST

Hi friends! Thanks for being a part of Amina Creations. I started this blog 10 years ago in February and wrote my first post in March 2010. Little did I know that the blog that I started to share my recipes as a hobby would grow so big, become popular and survive for so many years. Over the course of my blogging, I made so many friends, participated in cooking contests, won plenty of them and improved my cooking and craft making skills.

TRAVELLING TO AN UNKNOWN DESTINATION

Travel opens up our vision. It lets us explore new places, meet different people, taste new food, in total understand the beauty of nature and diversity all around. It also teaches us essential life skills and experiencing something new and different.

THE WORLD - THROUGH MY EYES

The world is like a collage. It is an amalgamation of different regions, cultures, religions, food, countries and civilizations. Every region, every part and every corner of the world is different and unique in its own way.  And it is this diversity that makes the world so interesting. And people of the world though coming from different walks of life and regions are bonded by a wonderful blend of humanity and togetherness.

A TALE OF A SMARTPHONE AND CASHIFY

Sunita had a bad day at office. What with juggling home, office and a naughty kid, she already had her hands full. And now her favourite companion, with whom she paid her monthly bills, shopped online and re-winded browsing through videos and social media posts, was acting weird. The keypad was not working, the screen went blank all of a sudden and finally her 2 year old smart phone was just dead.

Italian cuisine is known across the world for its simple and awesome taste. Most of our favourite dishes like Pastas, Pizzas, Espresso, Tiramisu, cheese etc. have their origins in Italy. The major reason behind this vast growing popularity of Italian cuisine is its taste which is a perfect blend of flavours that is not over the top, yet mild and delicious.

The world is changing and everything has become fast. Our regular mobile handsets are slowly getting outdated as Smart Phones with their latest features, connectivity, design and apps are attracting people towards them. They have started entering every home and office and a rapid transformation is taking place.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH PIMPLES AND GARNIER

Everyone wishes to look beautiful and have a clear face. But dust, pollution, hormones, unhealthy diet, etc have an adverse effect on the skin and face and result in the eruption of pimples. Pimple, zit or acne occurs when excess oil gets tapped in the pores of the skin and causes infection. They can appear anywhere on the face or other parts of the body. Pimples on the face are more serious as they can spread easily and leave behind dark spots.

ASUS - DESKTOP AND NOTEBOOK COMPARISON

I was already in a dilemma whether to buy a Laptop, Desktop or a notebook when ASUS launched two new devices that took my confusion to an all new level. The ASUS Eeebook X 205 and the ASUS All-in-One PC ET2040 are packed with features that make them stand out from the crowd. The former is a notebook and the latter is a desktop PC, both running on Windows. 

SHOPPING AT QUIKR BANGALORE

             

I am sure almost everyone would have heard about Quikr. It is an online portal where you can sell your used items or new items at their most worthy price and buyers too could buy things at reasonable prices. It is a perfect destination for both buyers and sellers.

MELBOURNE: HERE I COME & A CONTEST

Melbourne! Melbourne! Melbourne! Every time I hear this word I am filled with joy and excitement. It is one place I have wanted to visit since quite some time. I first heard and saw about Melbourne in a travel show on Television and from then on I am simply hooked to it. The lush green landscape, the perfect roads, wonderful scenery, historical landmarks and shopping places are all that I have wished to see live. And when Indiblogger along with Tourism Victoria gave this opportunity to write about my favourite tourist destination I simply could not miss.

ROAD SAFETY MEASURES

We all know that Indian roads are not safe enough. Plenty of vehicles all using the same road at the same time with no patience, and zero knowledge of road sense is a sure sign of catastrophe. No wonder, plenty of accidents occur every single day. It is therefore necessary that we take steps so that not only us but others as well on the roads are safe.

GIVING HOME A NEW LOOK

How many times have you felt like giving a new look to your home or room and then put it in the back burner! I had planned to renovate my home several times but that never happened because shopping and traveling to different showrooms to pick the most appropriate home decor items for my home was time consuming and made me lethargic.

FOOD MADE BEAUTIFUL BY BOROSIL

A meal looks delicious only when it is served in beautiful utensils. Borosil products make the food look attractive and mouth watering as they put the focus only on what is important - Food. In this post i am giving the recipes of Baked pasta, Clear vegetable soup and Trifle pudding with step by step photos, all served in borosil utensils.

A PERFECT MEAL IN PERFECT UTENSILS

What would be your idea for a perfect meal? A perfect meal should have the right amount of spice, sourness, tanginess and sweetness and above all should be colourful and tasty. My idea of a perfect meal has all these. And these tastes and flavours combine together when the delicious spread is adorned on the dining table.

GUEST QUEST - WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

Hope you had a great time going through the recipes in the round up Part 1 and Part 2. I was amazed at the wide variety of recipes sent for the event and picking the winners was not easy as many were equally good. Of course every participant is a winner and if we had the choice we would have selected all, but there can be only one winner for each category and only one winner for the best dish.
