Here is the first installment of the “This Week in 5”.

Enjoy!

1.  The show that I am enjoying:  THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE

I have to admit that horror is not my forte and I was trying to avoid this show to my best. It would pop up whenever I would turn Netflix on and the poster was enough to give me the heebie-jeebies. Finally one bright and sunny morning, in full daylight I decided to check out the first episode and I really loved it.

The Haunting of Hill House is based on Shirley Jackson’s 1959 namesake horror novel.  The show though slow is paced beautifully. It is a creepy, painful family drama which is scary as hell at one moment and sad, bitter and lonely the next.

Can’t wait to finish it but will be doing it in broad daylight.

The bent-neck lady is scaary. Yikes!

2. The book I am reading:  A PLACE FOR US

A PLACE FOR US is the first novel from Sarah Jessica Parker’s new imprint, SJP for Hogarth and is written by Fatima Farheen Mirza.

It is a powerful, thought-provoking novel about an Indian-American Muslim family settled in California.

It is the story of a traditional family surviving in the modern culture.

It is the story of love and betrayal and explores what it means to be both an American and a Muslim in today’s world.

It is the story of the dedicated parents struggling to keep up their traditions.

It is the story of the children led astray by the glittering life.

3. Music I am listening to: NOW WE ARE FREE (GLADIATOR)

I am a huge Hans Zimmer fan. I am a huge Gladiator (Movie) fan. Combine them together and you have one of the best movie soundtracks especially this song “Now we are Free“.

 

4. VITAMINS THAT SURPRISED ME: SWISSE ULTIVATE MULTIVITAMINS 

I like to add some multivitamins to my routine as my diet is not the best one out there. I keep on rotating the vitamins but lately none of them seem to be doing the trick. My body was telling me that it needed something extra but nothing seemed to work.

I got these in the #newhopebloggerbox a couple of months back and both me and my husband decided to give it a try.

I must say that I am genuinely impressed with them. The days I have them, I have more energy and my day does not seem to end once afternoon kicks in. I feel sharp and focused which is huge for me since I have really demanding boys.

As far as the tablet goes, it is definitely on the bigger side and if not taken with food has an unpleasant taste so I try to take it between my meals and I have no problem them. There is no after taste and it does it a pretty good job.

5. MUST HAVE ORGANIZING APP:  GOOGLE KEEP

If you are someone who thinks, lives, breathes and dreams in lists then you will love this app. I have been able to organize my work and thoughts so beautifully thanks to Google Keep. The best part is that you can share it with others and if you make changes they happen in real time.
