With over 70 delectable items comprising classic bar food favourites to an array of lunch and dinner meals including pizzas, burgers, pasta, Indian delights and the signature items – Tikkas (Kebabs) and Draft beer which gives a wholesome experience to customers.

Last Saturday, I and hubby went to Prime Time which is a newly launched sports bar at R-City Mall, Ghatkopar, Mumbai. They have lot of games and bowling, laser room, archery,etc., so it’s like spending a good 3-4 hours and also have your lunch/dinner at their restaurant Wembley.

We reached quite late in the afternoon and headed for lunch at first as we were quite hungry and also there was a corporate booking, so lots of guests for games and bowling.

Wembley has everything from Indian starters to Italian pastas to American Cheese French Fries and Burgers. I loved the variety of cuisines offered. Also they have a separate drinks menu which includes all sorts of Cocktails,Beers, and the usual.

I went with a Breezer and ordered BlackBerry which was out of stock sadly. I wasn’t expecting Blackberry and Cranberry to be out of stock on a Saturday though,I had to go with Jamaican Passion.

Let me tell you,we ordered smaller portions to try out more dishes, so do not go by this quantity.

For food, we started with Cheese French Fries which were hot and crisp, I would have liked a little more cheese though as the fries were quite a lot comparatively.

Cheese French Fries

Nachos with Cheese Sauce and Mexican Beans,super yummy is the word for this. Amazing salsa sauce and a perfect blend of cheese,beans and salsa on the crispy nachos.

Classic Burger was just perfect, soft buns and a perfect patty,one of the best burgers I have tried.

Veg. Popcorn which was served with mayo, it was nice but slightly under cooked. You know how fried stuff tastes a bit raw from the inside.

Veg. Popcorn & Breezer

Crispy Chilli Potatoes where small pieces of potatoes were deep fried and mixed in the dry chilli garlic gravy. Very,very spicy :/ I am someone who loved spicy food, but this was actually very spicy.

Last thing we tried was Soufiya Paneer Tikka, super soft paneer and perfectly grilled on the tandoor. The saunf (aniseeds) gave it a royal touch and the spices were just perfect and the paneer was well marinated.

I wanted to try the Pizza or Pasta but was too full by then, maybe next time.

Then we went to play games. We were heading for bowling and even changed our shoes, but hubby reminded that I shouldn’t do bowling as it would involve lifting weight and bending which is not good for my spine currently, which I completely forgot. Hence, we skipped bowling and tried the laser games in the laser room. We played the Laser Squash, Hit & Run and hubby tried the Mission Possible. This is the first time, I tried laser games and they were definitely fun. Recommend trying them for sure.

We also played some throwball. They also have massage chairs in between, where you can just take a break and get your back massaged for some time.

The concept of this sports bar is similar to Smaaash at Lower Parel, though I haven’t been there but hubby has.

Overall, I would say, it’s a fun place to go with your friends and chill out,play some games and have yummy food. I liked the food in totality, plus it is also very reasonably priced. A big thumps up from me.

Now next when you are confused what to do on a weekend, you know where to head 🙂

P.S: I was invited by the sports bar but that has not affected my opinion.

Conditioner Ingredients:

L’Oreal Professionnel Hair Spa comes in two variants: Deep Nourishing and a Detox range. This Deep Nourishing range has Water Lily extracts and is meant for dry hair and the Detox one is infused with tea tree oil for people with oily scalp and dandruff issues.

I have been using this L’Oreal Professionnel Hair Spa Deep Nourishing Range since 3 weeks now. I had a lot of expectations from this range after trying out and falling in love with the Absolut Repair Lipidium Range.

I love the bright blue packaging with the grey cap, it is very nice to look at and you can find out your shampoo from the lot in the bathroom :p The shampoo has a flip cap packaging and comes in this long,slender bottle and the conditioner comes in a tube packaging with a screw cap.

The shampoo is off white in color and runny in form, the conditioner is white and thicker. Both smell very refreshing,very close to soft, floral,water lily. A mix of aquatic and floral, I love the smell!

The shampoo foams really well and gets rid of all the oil and dirt in the hair within one wash. Quite impressed here. The hair is completely clean in one wash. If you have oily scalp, you will really like this. Even though this range is meant for dry skin, it is not heavy and creamy kind but very light.

The conditioner is hydrating but not very heavy,it won’t weigh down your hair. It is not the most hydrating conditioner out there, but does a decent job for someone with normal to dry hair, and would work perfectly for oily hair too. If you have very dry hair or prefer a heavy conditioner, then you would need something extra.

Hair remains soft,smooth and frizz free with this range for 2 days untill you wash next. There is no oiliness and no dryness. If you have drier ends, you will need to use a serum on the ends. Even though its meant for dry hair, it is not the deep hydrating kind, and that makes this range perfect for summers.

Price wise, they are decently priced and quite economical for the quantity. The bottles are huge and not travel friendly though. Also, the availability of the Professionnel range is an issue, and is only available on selected online sites or in salons.

Only downside is it has SLS and silicones, also I see ‘Mineral Oil’ 3rd in the Ingredients list in the Conditioner which I am not too pleased with.

Overall, I would say this range is good for summers and would work for all kinds of hair from oily to dry. It cleanses the scalp well and leaves the hair soft, smooth and frizz free. It is mild enough for everyday use too. If you have very dry hair, I would recommend the L’Oreal Professionnel Absolut Repair Lipidium Range. I would prefer using this range for summers and the Absolut Range for winters. If you have chemically treated or colored hair, I wouldn’t advise using this as it has SLS.

Rating:

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes

Philips recently launched their new range of epilators and you guys must have seen the new Alia Bhatt ad on TV, who is their brand ambassador.

Philips had epilators before i.e. the Satinelle range which had only one epilating head, they have relaunched them with the Satinelle Essential where there is a shaving head and a sensitive area cap and comes with 2 years guarantee with just 300 bucks extra.

They have come up with 3 different types of Essential epilators, one is the basic one for basic, dry use i.e. Philips Satinelle Essential BRE200. One with shaving head which is this one i.e. Philips Satinelle Essential BRE201 and one with shaving head, for wet and dry use and with skin stretcher system i.e. Philips Satinelle Advanced BRE210.

I am reviewing the middle one today which comes with a separate shaving head. All these new Philips epilators come with a 2 year guarantee which is quite nice.

I love the white and pink color, it has a white body with pink stars over it. It has just one setting and not much to figure out and super easy to use.

It is very small and handy. It comes with two different heads, one epilation head and one shaving head, one cord to plug in, one extra cover for sensitive areas and a small cleaning brush. A 2 year year guarantee card and an instruction manual alongwith. It mentions on the box that it also carries a handy pouch which was missing, not sure if it comes with it or no.

Pictorial Steps

Since I have taken up the 30 days shaving challenge for my legs, I used the epilator on my hands. I was a bit scared but it went on pretty smooth and nice, did not hurt much. Only glitch I feel in general with epilators is you cannot really see what exact area the hair is removed or still remaining, I mean you have to wait for one complete round from top to bottom and  get rid of the stuck stray hair to find out which hair is still not removed and have to go over it again. Since all epilators have a slightly round head, the side of the skin it goes on, generally get missed. Then, I tried the shaving head which is square and it was so awesome, I fell in love with it. It was super quick and easy to work with, no going over the same area again and completes the entire area from top to bottom in one go. In short, I am going to stick to the shaving head for a long time :p

Shaving Head
Sensitive Area Cap

It is very easy to clean and wash too, you can either use the small brush it comes with, or remove the head and wash that under flowing water. The heads can be easily removed and inter-changed by just pushing them towards the left.

Philips is eco friendly and hence I guess,it avoids battery and works on electricity, means you will have to be corded all the time you use the epilator. A little inconvenient coz you have to find a plug, keep the area in mind and avoid the wire coming in between your epilation, and with wet use, very difficult to use in the bathroom. Though the wire is quite long and was not much of an issue.

Coming to the price, it is quite cheap compared to other epilators in the market, almost 1/3rd the price. Its available on Flipkart HERE and keep an eye for discounts and offers and you can get it much cheaper.

Definitely worth investing in, also a perfect thing to carry along if you travel a lot or plan to go on a long holiday. And it comes with a 2 year guarantee, so once purchased, you are sorted for 2 years minimum, and more so depending on your usage.

So #BeReadyEveryday and #GoWowNow with the new Philips Epilators. Check out their facebook page HERE.

Have you tried the Philips Epilators before? What do you think of epilating?

It comes in a white jar with a mirror cap. I like that, you can apply it anytime,anywhere you are with the help of the mirror and it can help you in emergency touch-ups too 😀 Though it does not have an inner lid or seal and I would have preferred if it came with a small spatula.
