Self appointed Tag Situation - Sisterhood of the World Q & A

So The Blue Bride did this tag on her blog and I have decided to tag myself coz I found I had actually had stuff to say on this one...

One beauty product you would recommend to your girlfriends
Without doubt, this is Shu Uemura cleansing oil - I'm a firm believer in taking off makeup at night even it's just Kajal, it must come off and I have been through the pulling and yanking with cotton wool and cleanser - this oil is a magic liquid that you put on your skin, smear it around, wait 30 seconds and then... wash your face - that's it! all the goop is off and you can resume life as usual!

Three books everyone must read
The top of this list is 'Tuesdays with Morrie' - Mitch Albom may have become preachier after this but this book always tugs at my heart strings espescially when he describes Morrie dancing - I think it's a way to live your life.
The second book is more of a series but Harry Potter has so many life lessons as whole - awe inspiring imagination, how to be a friend, how different is not bad - the list is endless  plus an amazing storyline with the classic how to choose between good and evil.
I had difficulty choosing a third book and I wanted to choose something that I came back to frequently but those are pretty much for me like Georgette Heyer, or Jack Higgins 'Sheba' and thus have decided to go with Amitav Ghosh's Shadow Lines because something about this book haunted me and judging by discussions, I've had on it, everyone takes away something different.

Favourite online shopping site

I would have to go with Jabong - I hate the name but the kind of brands and discounts on the site make it a daily visit for me :)!

Favourite phone app

Scribd - I use this app so much Im actually a beta tester...Scribd was legitimised a few years ago with publishers like Hachette, Simon and Schuster providing content to the app and I spend hours on it - reading rubbish I might add - I do blame Scribd for preventing me from reading actual books so I'm not sure if it counts.

One dish you are really good at making and its recipe
Does Scrambled eggs count? That's really the only thing I can make - my office jokes I need google maps to find the kitchen in the house and in turn, I tell them that the glass door cupboards are really handy for storing shoes as you can clearly see them.
Scrambled eggs recipe:
2 eggs, quarter cup milk, salt, pepper, one green chilly chopped up fine
mix in a bowl till yolk and everything is dissolved and put in microwave yes microwave for 30 seconds, take out, mix again and then in microwave again for 30 seconds and voila, scrambled eggs ready to eat. Best accompanied by toast and butter which I don't think I need to tell you how to make.
