Google Image
Ever heard anyone say "Need a day between Saturday and Sunday!" - if thats your phrase lately - dig in for the tips to have a calmer, more relaxed weekend...

 Tip 1: Disconnect

The whole week is so packed with activity that we hardly get any time to disconnect from reality - hence the weekend! Those measly 48 hours sometimes 24 hours is all we got and disconnecting from the usual stuff helps to enjoy it better when we get back to it. This is the time to keep away from those cellphones and laptops and anything that is work or task related, as far as possible if it is adding to the stress. Doing something different over the weekend only preps you better for the week ahead and you feel more connected to all things that define work for you.
2. Reconnect

Completely opposite right... This is the time you must take time to reconnect with things that you usually do not have the time for during the week. It could be connecting with your family and friends by having a get together - nothing is more relaxing than having a chill time with the people you love. It could be reconnecting with nature by going for a long walks, which does not just help your body but also your mind or just by having a seat in a garden or the woods with a book or a cup of chai. Most of all the best way to de-stress by reconnecting is to reconnect with your inner self by some way of meditation or quiet time with your self. This helps in slowing down a fast paced life and also gives you a better perspective of what you expect from yourself.


3. Fun Element

Take time over the weekends introduce that fun element back to your life. Life need not be all serious and task oriented - pop in that DVD of may be a random episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and laugh out, call that buddy who can just make you laugh till your stomach hurts, leave your mobile aside and bring out that board game and challenge your spouse, organize a low budget theme party at home, go bowling, go dancing - whatever it takes. This helps you to see the other side of life and feel good and stress free.
4. Let Go

It is important to remind yourself at the end of each week that life is not permanent. There are some things that annoy you, piss you, offend you, hurt you, threaten you and so on - it need not have a piece of your weekend. There could be some instances that happened over the week that is putting you down and adding stress to your life - may be there is no solution at hand - but gradually things usually solve and you feel better - in the mean time you can try and let go by training your mind to think something better and hopeful. Don't stop living altogether because of it - Do Not Stop Living.


5. Get Started

 If there is something you are truly passionate about - weekend is the time you can definitely spare some time to start engaging in activities related to it - it could be anything from cooking to flying a plane. Get started! Life is not forever - giving it a sense of direction, regularly, helps in making life beautiful and stress free - you then do not just live in and live out but also look forward to live.

Bioderma Node DS+ Shampooing Review

Bioderma! A brand every skin/hair care fancying woman greedily hoards. Well in my case I needed to pick this "heaven sent" product to heed to my never-ending, every stalking dandruff problem. I have been facing persistent dandruff right since I was a kid, but with time and changing products the flaky snow on my head just got worse. I had been using The Body Shop - Ginger Anti Dandruff shampoo, as mentioned in my earlier post here , I never swore by it that it did any good or bad to my dandruff situation, but I still continue using it every once a while and avoid using it on my scalp off-late. I was recommended this shampoo by my dermatologist as  I recently had some problem with an allergy on my lip (about that I will cover in another post - coming soon!) which was triggered by dandruff *sighs*. Ok back to Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo Claims of this product: - Reduces rapid increase of Malassezia yeast which triggers dandruff - Prevents recurrence of da

VLCC Pista Massage Cream Review

For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon. I thought to give this product   a try , as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it! About the packaging and price It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage.  About the product and usage The cream is green in color and has a slightly off

A Marks & Spencer Beauty: Mini Perfume Haul

I am all into miniatures these days and when I saw these beauties, I had to dig in. I have never been a perfume purchase person, as mostly they were gifted to me. I love a real good mist and was quite committed to Bath & Body Works and The Body Shop ones for a long time now so I decided lets switch that up and that is when I found these lil' devils and whats better than carrying these dinky yet amazing perfumes around for a spritz! There was an ample collection in all different sizes and notes, I am sure there is something for everyone. I was looking for an everyday type of a scent, so I picked up a day scent, an evening scent and a floral scent.  Since they are so dinky and sturdy you can easily carry them in your smallest purses throughout the day. 1)  Marks & Spencer Beauty:  Lavender Eau De Toilette - This scent is from their floral collection, I never owned an ONLY lavender scent before, I sniffed it I loved it, it is a typical lavender subtle scent, yet it makes
