With my obsession at finding nothing but the best place for my manicure and pedicure I've worked tirelessly to find Mumbai's best manicure joints. While Mumbai is still miles away from salons with highly-trained specialists in cities like London who offer customised nail solutions for your nail needs and know which digits to buff and which ones to hydrate more, these places will leave your hands and feet looking flawless regardless.  Without any further ado, scroll down to see the best salons in Mumbai for a manicure and pedicure - from ultimate indulgence and next generation nail art to quick beauty treatments and affordable spots that won't make you fear a skin infection.

This deceptively simple yet nutrition packed smoothie is super delicious and is the perfect way to start your morning. Loaded with calcium, fiber, vitamins and healthy fats, this creamy vegan smoothie has just the right amount of sweetness (thanks to banana and dates) and the addition of cinnamon gives it a nice flavor and a spicy kick. It takes only three minutes and literally four (even 3 if you want to skip vanilla) ingredients to have a delicious yet filling breakfast - banana, cinnamon, almond milk and vanilla. I always use home-made almond milk, it's really simple to make at home and healthier than most options available in the market. For almond milk, you just need to soak in almonds overnight, blend it with 2x water and strain it - there you have almond milk in no time! You can play around with the ratios and ingredients of this smoothie as well. Add water to make it less creamy, replace banana with apple or just throw in an apple for extra nutrition and flavor

The ad ends with: ‘Wanna move on? Blame Fastrack’. I absolutely loved it and its fab music (btw if you're wondering the Fastrack ad is playing the no.  Short Skirt Long Jacket by Cake). Young, fun and carefree the summer bags ad of Fastrack definitely hits a chord with the young generation, and it even tickled my inquisitive bone to check out how these bags are after all. They sure looked interesting on screen. And finally, the two bags from their collect
