The Filling:
500g minced Chicken
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic crushed
1teaspon curry powder
½ easpon chilli powder
1 teasmon ground tumeric
½ teaspon gorund roasted cumin seeds
1 fresh chilli finaly diced
1 tspn chopped mint or corriander
½ tspn fresh grated ginger
salt and ground pepper to taste
juice of half a lemon

Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and garlic mix in the spices and seasoning and fry until soft. Add the mince, stirring until cooked. Remove from heat and stir in the mint and lemon juice.

Now for the pastry: You don't have to make your own pastry. You can simply buy some ready-made pastry from the shop. For samosas you want to fry, use Filo Pastry and for samosas you want to cook in the oven use Puff Pastry.

What kind of Bride would you be?

Tis the season of weddings! Have you noticed how lately everyone and their mom is getting married?!?! Well, I have and it makes me all giddy and dreamy. I think each bride shows her personality through the kind of dress and accessories she picks for her big day. Some focus on glamour, some simplicity, and some are just simply elegant. So, what kind of Bride would YOU be? Here are some inspirations:

It's like a fairytale dress
Very bold. I love the underside design on the dress that's peaking through on purpose! Genius design.

So simple and elegant. This is my kinda dress!
Old Hollywood Glamour. 
So Chic. So Cute.
Love everything. The shoes, the Mehndi, the bottom of the dress
Such a delicate moment captured. Shoes are so important for all brides no matter which culture.
The silver in this picture screams Glitz and Glam.
Mehndi is a way to decorate your hands and feet for your big day!
Unusual Flowers for an Unusual Color
The simplicity of this picture is beautiful.
Ah. Such intense eyes. Love the black and white intensity.
Old Mughal Bride
New Indian Bride
A Master Piece

4th of July Sales!!!

An early Happy 4th of July to everyone!!!! A lot of companies are having great sales this weekend and I wanted to share some of my favorite ones:

BH Cosmetics is having up to 40% off sale and adding in a free mini Kabuki brush if you spend more than $10!! I think that is a great sale and am thinking about buying the 88 matte palette or maybe the neutral matte palette!! Hope this helps those that were thinking about buying some their products. Here is the website: www.bhcosmetics.com. Some of you have showed interest in my BH Cosmetics palettes I bought a while ago. I will have to do a review on them soon so stay tuned!!

Another exclusive sale that is going on right now is from Sephora: Best of Fragrance Deluxe Sampler For Her. This sale is going online and in stores. This is a $100 value that you get for $50. The package comes with 10 different fragrant samples and a coupon for a full size bottle of the one you end up liking the most. Isn't that the best deal ever?!?! I have GOT to get my hands on this soon. Here is the link for your convenience: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml;jsessionid=HZSBRSYDB1420CV0KRTQIGQ?categoryId=A17&id=P276315

Last but not least Sephora has another great limited addition product right now that i'm loving. It's the Feelin' Cheeky! Minis by Benefit. The package comes with the three of their very popular products: Benetint (red cheek or lip tint), Posietint (light pink cheek or lip tint), and High Beam (highlighter) and I don't know anyone who has ever finished these little potions because you use such a tiny little amount of the product it lasts forever. For $15 this is a steal and I will be buying it for sure.
