Ever since Amazon Prime launched in India, I had been waiting for Prime Video to arrive too. Prime Video gives Amazon Prime users an access to high quality videos for free. These include movies and television shows and also Amazon Originals like Mozart in the Jungle and Man in the High Castle.

I have completed 40 days of practicing Shambhavi Maha Mudra Kriya twice a day, and in this post, I would like to share with you my experience of it so far.

New Year is all about celebrating with good food and drink, here are some suggestions if you still haven't decided on where to head to.

I spent the fast couple of weeks outside the town of Farsø in Nordjylland in Denmark at my father’s place, back home for a very nice good old fashioned family Christmas for the first time in 4 years. One of the awesome things about staying at this house out in the country is going for walks. Every day I would venture out with my camera, I even managed to catch the morning sun on a few frosty mornings that were just too beautiful for ...

Furthering their “Terroir Matters” experiments Bruichladdie released this whisky, the Port Charlotte Islay Barley, which is a blend of barley from six different farms on the island of Islay. It was then aged, from what I can tell, in ex-bourbon barrels for almost 8 years if it went straight from the barrel to the glass based on the laser code. Less if it spent some time in a steel tank at any point, which is entirely possible.

Before Jim McEwan retired he was adamant about telling the story that “Terroir Matters” when it comes to barley and both this Port Charlotte Scottish Barley its counterpart the Islay Barley resulted from those location based barley experiments. I was a little skeptical about it at the beginning, I thought the distillation process would likely strip away most of the differences, but when you compare this to the Islay Barley they are indeed quite different.

A few weeks back the Malt Nuts gathered to tackle the often overlooked Dufftown distillery. Outside some of the Singleton of Dufftown releases I’ll readily admit I haven’t had much more than a passing exposure to Dufftown. It’s one of the distilleries that just don’t come up too often in polite, or even impolite, whisky conversation so I was a bit more excited than usual to sit down and have a few drams.

Happy 6th Birthday to my little beauty blog! It’s been a fantastic year for my blog which continues to grow in hits and followers. I also launched my secondblonde channel on youtube back in April which I hope to grow next year.

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees... Читать дальше...

As 2016 comes to a close, let’s take a moment to look back at the year’s most popular mysteries. Based on circulation figures at the library where I work, these were the most checked out mysteries in 2016. Considering last year’s list, is it any surprise that one particular author once again dominated the top ten?

Mary, Fiona, Maxine & Noel in the London Walks office write… On Mondays & Fridays we'll be sharing reviews of our London Walks written by London Walkers. Firstly, THANKS to all who have written to us down through the years, your kind words are greatly appreciated! Our guides don't solicit these reviews on our tours – we believe that this would be a waste of your time. That's what makes these reviews all ...

What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is a concept that necessitates the need of working with, rather than against nature, through the observance and following of nature’s patterns when designing perennial agricultural systems and human settlements. Otherwise stated, it’s a creative human settlement design process based on holistic-systems philosophy guided and defined by ethics and design principles that integrate sustainable economic and social food production techniques. Permaculture was developed...

GR:  National Monuments provide imperfect protection to water and wildlife, but they are better than leaving lands entirely under standard Bureau of Land Misuse policies. The new administration members are already talking about privatizing Indian reservations. They will probably try to open the monuments to their corporate friends too. Preserving monuments will be one more battle we face in 2017. But there are only thousands of them–we are millions.

First of all, I would like to greet you a Merry Christmas, and I hope you are using the holiday season to relax and chill with loved ones.  This is the third and final installment of my article on the 12 brands that my family supports, and if you haven’t yet checked out the first two, here’s Part 1, and here’s Part 2.

Trupay , the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) based payment APP has welcomed the launch of Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) an initiative to enable fast, secure, reliable cashless payments through mobile phone by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today.

I told y'all that the gold dress would be seen again slightly different! (Last seen here.) It's so nice I wore it twice! LOL! Anyhow, this wasn't meant to be a blog post, but I couldn't resist sharing these pictures. Then it hit me, I should share my tips on how to do a great couples photo shoot!

In this age of instant communication via the Internet, It’s ironic that I can now find out what’s going on around the world often more easily than in my own neighborhood. This opens an area of business opportunity, popularly called hyperlocal, which still seems to be underserved. Some experts have tied this market to location detection hardware (GPS), but even that is now pervasive on all smart devices.

I suppose that given that we were not far from Middle Earth – or so the map indicated – I shouldn’t have been surprised to happen upon a garden that gave every indication of being created by a hobbit and a very industrious hobbit at that.

I bet a lot of you have eaten your fair share of mince pies over the festive season haven’t you? Crumbly pastry filled with that juicy, fruity and possibly boozy mincemeat.
This recipe however, is for an altogether different type of mince pie. It combines a couple of Scottish classic dishes – a pan of mince and skirlie.
Mince in this recipe refers to minced beef (or ground beef as it’s called elsewhere) braised in a pan with some ...
