Help Reagarding URL & LINK tabs in BLOGGER

hey everyone , i just thought to tell u guys whoever is facing problem with the links and urls in blogger interface as to what i do with links and urls in blogger interface..... so here is what i do a short and simplified version , hope i cud explain it .

1.in google type "create ur free blog" , search. the search results will show one site which has the same name "bloggers create ur free blog" click it . Bloggers page will open after u sign in with ur gmail.

2.While posting a new article or post click the right side "pen" shaped button which says new post.
3 U'll b directed to an empty word page where u can write ur heart out  and also upload pictures from ur computer , i guess u knw all these already.

4.Above where u're writing , u can see the bar which says post title , there u can mention the name to the post. Click "Publish" directly after u're done.

5. u'll be directed to the page where in the background u'll see the whole list of articles that has been written by u and a dialogue box will appear asking u to share this on g+ , u can share if u want to, or hit Cancel if u dnt want to.

6.U'll still be on the articles list page after step 5. Now u hover(just hover , dnt click) over the title of the article with ur cursor which u wanna view, u'll see 4 optns EDIT, VIEW, SHARE DELETE. Click view button. U'll b directed to the page where u're article is . On the top of the page where url stays select the full thing like e.g "http://beautifyurselfwithknowledge.blogspot.in/2012/08/how-to-thin-and-make-mascara-clump-free.html"

u may nt see the word "http://" but when u select the whole thing , it comes automatically.

7. So that is the url . If on any site or anything u wanna paste this url , like eg u want to say "CLICK"  OR "READ MORE" or " Flower" or "Music" anything and u want people to hit these words and see ur page , then firstly select the words and somewhere on that site u'll see there is a button called "link" Hit the LINK BUTTON on that specific site (on whichever site  u are at that time and wanna paste ur article with link directed towrds ur blog . eg beauty.com (lol this is arbitary site name ,donno whether it exsists or not ) there in the box where u are to paste this link u MAY  see "http://" appearing already (generally this appears, may nt even appear) , delete that and paste ur previously copied url from ur blog , otherwise there will b two http:// 's   and ur link won't work. And thats it ,people on that site will be able to visit ur blog.

8.u can even add links of url to ur own blog posts , i.e when ur typing ur article on in your blog , there are diff buttons u'll b able to see like ABC , Color buttons , image button , Link button. Similary here also , type a word which u want people to hit , e.g "SEE HERE" . select this whole word (doesn't matter one word or two , or 3 n so on, u just need to select it ) then click the link button and past the link of the url of the page u want people to see. Thats it . Publish ur post or share ,ur wish ..and whenever people hits the link , they will be directed from ur blog to that specific page.

Just remember sometimes when u click the link box after selcting the words , sometimes the letters "http://" appears and sometimes doesn't , if it appears just del that , cuz when ur copying url from ur blog page itwill automatically have an "http://" so when u dnt del that in the link box , u're actually using two http:// s   which is wrong for an url address.

Since one of my lovely friends asked me to tell her about this , so i thought to share that in my blog too, hope this helps some more people :) thank you for reading , cyaaaaaaaa  ^_^

How to thin and make mascara clump free!!!


Ever been upset to see that ur newly bought mascara is getting dried faster than you thought? or getting clumped much before it should expire or get old?


Here are a few steps on how to thin down your mascara and to liquefy it.

Boil a pan half full of water .
Next tightly close the lid of the mascara such that no water  gets into it , ( u can test it , by holding the tight mascara under tap water , then opening and checking if there is any leakage ) and put this into boiling water.

Next let it remain dipped in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and not any more exceeding this time limit, exceeding this limit may totally change the chemical structure of the mascara mixture ingredients.

Carefully take it out with the thongs or long forceps or tweezers , don't burn ur hand.
now by holding the bottle with a cloth or wear gloves , open it while still warm and pour 2-4 drops with a dropper of pure virgin olive oil, with rapid movement of the wand in an in and out motion mix the mascara mixture well and keep it closed. u can use it when it cools down to room temperature.
Don't use too much of oil since this can cause ur mascara to get damaged and change in chemical composition .

Hope this helps !

Roasted Prawn Coconut Curry

ROASTED COCONUT PRAWN CURRY

( I used the coconut shell as a holder for the dish here , and decorated the plate with desiccated coconut on sides and the rice with a fan of ginger  julienne  and 2 cloves and green chillies on sides )


(And this one is without the coconut cap :D hehe )




So , here is my Sunday's Special Dish on the menu....Roasted Coconut Prawn Curry . AND I COOKED IT , I LOVEEEEEEE COOKING ,EATING , Apart from nail arts and writing and makeuppppp ;)

Since am done with my exams , am flirting around with the dishes am seeing on tv , and cookbooks and net and also , some of our bengali known cuisines. This dish i saw some days back on tv , but i dnt rem the exact  name . BUT WHAT THE HECK IS IN A NAME ??????? LOL ....  It's soo good and tasty ....i can't tell u. Ya the preparation is also simple , but has kinda some steps , but the biggest prob with coconut is the hard work of desiccating it . If thats done , then this dish is pretty simple.

But the best part this dish resembles in a lot of ways except for dry roasting the coconut , like our very own Bengali Chingrir malaikari (Prawn in coconut milk curry)

It tastes awesome with hot rice...Bring out the milk from half of the desiccated coconut by boiling it with 2 cups water in simmer, while cooking , i directly strained it thru a tea strainer into the dish , quick and simple ;) and the rest of the desiccated coconut is dry roasted and then made into a paste .
( U can see the peppercorns from the dish , i fished them out put them on top of the prawns , and a tomato flower filled with desiccated coconut for presentation and desiccated coconut all around the plate .)

....And i love decorating dishes , i can even make little animals out of vegetable , lol,,,,will post them slowly ...guess why decorating the dish is soo important? Cuz it's also like makeup...u use lipstick and eyeshadow to makeurself more attractive, similarly i believe , the more u concentrate on the presentation, the more beautiful ur dish looks and the more u wanna eat it ....IT'S CALLED EATING WITH EYES.... FIRST U EAT WITH EYES , THEN U TAKE IN THE AROMA , THEN U TASTE WITH UR TASTE BUDS ;)

OK ENUF OF BABBLING ...lemme tell u how it is diff from Prawn Malaikari , here not just coconut milk but also a paste of masalas with garlic and dry chillies and dry roasted coconut is used. Whole pepper corns are not really used in Prawn Malaikari but here we use that too. Tomato is not used in either of these dishes be it Authentic Prawn malaikari or This one . Green chillies are optional  for both the types, am nt using them.

ELLE18 CRANBERRY


Today apart from Having a splendid mouthwatering hilsa cuisine with rice :v  yummm  , am gonna be reviewing a cute little lipstick that i have , recently bought from Stylecraze 
Its Elle18 Color pops 06 Cranberry 
price 90 ( at stylecraze 90, other sites: life goodlife , urban touch , it's 100)

Has cocoa butter stick inside it , so when u roll it on it gives a very soft smooth finish , and moisturization too, a sweet smell to complement it . I know there is a little controversy regarding this range of lip colors that they don't stay long enough , the smell is kinda waxy and all , but i really like this range , the smell is also nice , package is cute , and travel friendly , will slide even in ur purse easily. And i really like the innovative moisturization technique of the Cocoa butter stick placed at the center of the lipstick.
coming to the color ... well hell yaaaaaaa  i love it ....it's a pretty strange color , if anyone has it , they can understand why am calling it "strange"  ..... it has a maroon tint , yet not so maroon , it has a pink tint , yet not soo pink , and above all it has a golden tint which is what makes it quite different from all other lip colors ive seen so far. It's quite cheap , wud definitely ask u to give it a try . 
it's a light soft , and creamy dreamy natural color ....which i just glide on when i dnt really want a heavy lip color ....and it's super coolllllllllll.......moreover i love applying lipstick with tip of my first finger, in that way it blends well , stays longer , so i don't feel that it's wearing off or something for almost kinda 5-6 hours...or more maybe ..ya u keep smacking ur lips when u talk , eat , drink , so better always carry a lipstick in ur bag , wat say ??

Ok so this is my first ever liner review , this is 
coloressence -shade maroon 
price quite reasonable just 123 INR


the shade i chose is maroon , since it can go with almost all lipsticks , u need a darker shade for lining always , not the exact shade as ur lip lipstick :)  i like to keep makeup things simple , well as simple as possible .

i use mostly reds , pinks , dark maroons and peaches for lipsticks .
anyways so coming back to this review , this color goes with almost all of my lipsticks , so one thing for liner and am sorted (for the time being atleast) , it's application is a little hardy , like it's quite dry type , thats what am nt really liking , but as a liner , it's well 4/5   , i am nt really liking the application , it's very dry , but color is very good :) and good part since it's hardy and dry type , it doesnt break when u press it down to line . so i can really over look the dryness ;)  it just one bad point against all goods :D


it's a rolling stick , so u roll it and it comes up , no hazard of sharpening or anything , thats what i like , less the trouble , the more time to do more makeup :v HAHAHAHHAHA 
will i repurchase it ? YES , but i wanna try out other brands as well ;)

qty- .25 gms
from- STYLECRAZE

Yardley of London-
 Jasmine


Deo spray- price 160 when i bought it from stylecraze , rite now i think it's 170

anyways, coming to the spray , well i am a crazy fan of perfumes and body splashes and deos,

i love the smell of jasmine and i wanted to give it a try , ive been using spinz, oriflame and other perfumes but i wanted to give yardley a try

well particularly this one JASMINE - has a gorgeous jasmine smell , absolutely authentic , garden fresh , i can say since we have jasmine plants at home and they are blooming like crazy in the occasional showers that kolkata is facing these days of the parting monsoons .

BUT , it doesn't last too long . i have the habit of spraying on clothes as well as on body , smell lasts for about 2-3 hour at most , then fades off. at least thats wat is happening in my case . 

FIRST EVER YARDLEY EXPERIENCE CRASHED AS PER IT'S EFFICIENCY.
Will i repurchase it ? 
ya sort of , but i don't want to since the smell doesn't stay. Am looking for a better deo with jasmine smell which as of now i don't know of other than this . 
till the time i get another better one , i'll repurchase since i love the smell of jasmine thats all. :) 
BUT this is not the case with other yardley perfumes., am in total love with some of the others  ;) will review others soon . :)
