Waking Up To Gold Mornings

My ideal morning - soft sun rays break into my room, I smile at the first rays filtering into my room, happily jump out of bed, get cleaned up and then sit to read the morning paper with soft music running in the background.

My actual morning - alarm at 6:30, snoozed. Alarm at 6:40 - snoozed again. Alarm at 6:50 - ok time to force myself out of bed! 

Yup, its a struggle every morning to get out of bed. I dream a lot, in-fact a bit too much. My world in my dreams can be happy and sad, but it keeps my brain working all night. And what this means is that I am tired when I wake up. But, I can't ruin my whole day because I did not have a great start. Instead I try and focus on my daily rituals that can still make or break my day. To start off, I need a fresh clean mouth. The first thing I actually do after waking up is to brush my teeth. Soft gentle bristles of a good tooth brush accompanied by a minty fresh toothpaste. Once my breath is all fresh its time for a good bath and crisp ironed clothes. A quick 5 minute grooming routine follows and soon the lethargy of getting up makes way to a bright new day as I step out and head to work.

#WhatTheBlack Secret Revealed

If you are on facebook or twitter you must have been wondering what we bloggers were upto since the past three days. We have all been posting about an activity by blogadda.com with the hashtag #WhatTheBlack.

Well blogadda.com was going to reveal something black and new in the market and the supsense was built through a four day activity of hints.

My first 3 hints landed all together on the third day although I had seen posts by other bloggers of what the first two day products were.

#WhatTheBlack Secret Revealed

So on the first day came a black egg - yes a hard shelled black egg which cracked open to reveal a yummy chocolate inside. Ok so hint number one was a black egg.

Next came a black newspaper - all black with news printed on the front and back sheets with everything inside BLACK!

#WhatTheBlack Secret Revealed

And the third day had us all wondering - a black paper cup with a black tissue. Now I was really wondering what was going on. I thought maybe it is something related to chocolate and since we are talking of black maybe it is the new black bourbon biscuits that I had seen. But then those had already been advertised, so we all kept guessing.

And today morning when the actual product reached me you wouldn't believe my surprise - I would have never guessed this - NEVER!
