Here is the latest installment in the “This Week in 5” series.
1. PICTURE WHICH MADE ME PAUSE AND THINK:
Statue of a woman made out of rubble from the Beirut Port explosion created by Lebanese artist Hayat Nazer. The stopped clock depicts the time of explosion, 6:08 pm.
2. TV SERIES I RECENTLY ENJOYED: BROADCHURCH
I love British TV in general but this miniseries is one if my favorites.
A murder mystery which instead of showing gore and violence delves into emotions and human nature.
Breath taking cinematography, stellar acting (particularly the performance of Olivia Colman and David Tennant), gripping, unpredictable, with an ending you won’t see coming this is one show which you will want to binge-watch. Though I must warn you that it is a tragedy and the story can feel depressive at times, but the characters and the twists give life at every turn.
3. BOUGHT ON A WHIM & LOVING: REVLON x SOFIA CARSON MAKEUP KITS
Saw the shade “Obsessed” and every where I went to buy it, it was sold out. Luckily I was able to find it on Amazon as part of “The Sofia Nudes” kit and that too under $15.
I must say that I didn’t have any expectations for the other two products in the kit but am soo glad that I got it. The lipstick is creamy and the Ultra Matte lip color is not at all drying. I am not a nail art fan but this is one nail color you will be “obsessed” with too.
4. THE BOOK I RE-READ: WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR
An unfinished memoir. Read the detailed review HERE.
5. KITCHEN FIND I AM LOVING: TRIO PEELER SET
I lost my beloved peeler and got one from my local store which did not work as well. A quick Amazon search made me buy the Trio Peeler which has been my best friend for over a few weeks now.
The peeler set has 1 handle and 3 replaceable peelers. The peelers are seriously sharp, so be careful when using. I am left handed and it works really well unlike most peelers which are mainly for right handed people.
I got the blue/beige combo but you can get it in black too.
