Department Of Caffeine

Out to another new place that I’ve been wanting to check out – 'Department of Caffeine'!

There are just so many cafes around the Duxton area! Look closely for D.O.C or you might just miss it. Department of Caffeine has been attracting many cafe- hoppers and coffee lovers- it was rather packed when I paid my first visit to the cafe. Serving a selection of coffee and other beverages, pastries and a small range of main dishes that include several brunch items, Department of Caffeine does seem to know the usual combination of ingredients to please it's customers.

The allocation of space is definitely challenging as the space they have is long and narrow. The wooden walls and furniture provided a warm feeling to its ambience.

The Menu- D.O.C offers Beverages, Pastries, Savory & Sweet dishes! 

(Note: Weekday n Weekend have different menu. They serve churros on weekends only!)

I was in the mood for waffles! (They have both sweet and savory waffles at DOC) I ordered the sweet one, Buttermilk waffles with New zealand Natural premium vanilla ice-cream. I personally do not like butter rum banana but if you do, you may try that as well. Some other flavors you can try: Peanut butter & Jelly/Blueberry Compote. No doubt, it has probably one of the best waffles around and serves multiple selection of roasts for you to choose your cuppa from. The waffles was crispy and light. The fragrant caramel was perfect with it and the ice cream gave a sweet finish to the entire dish. I would highly recommend this to you! 

My love ordered 'The Lavender & Honey Cake'. It surely did hit the expectations; the layer of honey on top provided this intense sweetness and there was also a heavy aroma from the Lavender on the cake. The cake was also light enough. While your taste buds are doing a sweet waltz, the scent of lavenders take you into a meadow sprawled with its kind- Ah. This cake is totally worth a try if you have made your visit there!

Selection of house made cakes- Delicious!

I will definitely be back to try their churros with kahlua-spiked chocolate sauce! If you are someone who loves brunch and coffee, or someone who loves visiting cafes that are in the town area, you should definitely check Department of Caffeine out. It is definitely a great place to grab some friends along for a chill-out. You are likely not to be disappointed if you make your way down for a visit! Note: They take reservations between so if you wish to avoid the wait or risk being turned away, just email or call them way in advance.

Review of Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightning Lotion- SPF 24 body lotion

I have been a huge fan of Vaseline body lotion as they never disappoint me and always keep my skin healthy. Vaseline body lotion is the only one that i have used since years to provide moisturization for my skin. Here, i am going to review on Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightning Lotion-SPF 24 body lotion. Stay tuned for more information! :)

 Product claims: Vaseline healthy white SPF 24 triple lightening body lotion gives you three layers of protection that helps keep skin fair even toned, non-sticky and moisturized. 
Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion keeps your skin protected from the sun rays. SPF-24 will provide moderate protection from UVA and UVB rays of the sun, so your skin can stay lighter always. This natural and organic lotion is effective on all skin types and also helps in toning your skin tissues efficiently. Composed of aloe vera and glycerin, Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion moisturizes your skin from the deepest layers so you have soft, supple skin all the time. The non-sticky texture of this body lotion is easily absorbed into the many layers of your skin so you are left with smooth refreshed skin.

Warnings:

Ingredients:

Packaging:
Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightning Lotion comes in 2 sizes- 350ml n 200ml. The bottle is huge and not travel friendly but Vaseline body lotion is also available in small travel sized packaging’s which are available everywhere. 
(Usually, i will bring along the whole 350ml bottle with me when i am out on a road trip)

My experience with Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion:

The lotion is white in color with smooth creamy texture. The consistency is slightly thick and creamy but it is very easy to spread. It feels light on skin and gets absorbed with slight rubbing. It is a non –greasy lotion which moisturizes my skin pretty well without leaving any oily/slippery layer behind.

It helps in retaining the moisture of my throughout the day and I don't feel the need of re-application. After application, Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion brightens the skin and leave the skin feeling very light, soft and supple. Along with providing nourishment and moisturization to my skin, it also saves it from harmful sun rays.

If you feel that sun protection is only required during summer then you are wrong. One should apply sun protection even at home. It is good to use a body lotion which comes with sun protection in summer and even rainy days.  Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion comes with SPF 24 which protects your skin from UVA/UVB rays. 

Pros of Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion SPF 24:

-    Very light on the skin
-    Soft and supple
-    Brighten the skin 
-    Suit for all skin type
-    Moisturize the skin well for up to 6-8 hours or more
-    Smells great

Recommendation: I really like Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion which makes my skin look more fairer and flawless. After applying, my skin feel light, soft and completely moisturized for almost throughout the day. I will always apply it before i'm out and even after shower. When i'm out, i don't have to worry of getting sun-tanned anymore. Overall, Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion is the best and I will surely recommend it to YOU. Like i mentioned before, it is for ALL-SKIN-TYPE. It doesn't matter whether you have normal/dry or even oily skin. Another thing i must clarify clearly here, you might come across some reviews saying that Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion is bad and so fourth. These are just "bullshit". You can't see the results within weeks. You have to use it for months in order to be able to get the result. (PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE: STRONGLY ENCOURAGE; DO NOT RE-APPLY FOR MORE THAN 2 TIMES IN A DAY ITSELF BECAUSE IF YOU DO, AFTER SOME TIME YOUR SKIN MAY RESULT IN OVER-EFFECTIVENESS. WHICH MEAN, IT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE SOME MAJOR SKIN IRRITATION ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN CONDITION!) Lastly, i will rate Vaseline Healthy White Triple Lightening Lotion 5 out of 5. 

Where to purchase?
