5 Things I Did Differently Last Month (and you should do it too!)

Well, more than a month without a post, am I a shitty blogger already!? :P

 Well to all that I did differently, more than a month ago now.


Started a social media challenge 
Obviously the most hyped one was on top of my list which is the #100daysofhappy challenge - As I write this post I am on day 34 and I am doing okay! I accidentally came across this challenge on Instagram and my impulsive nature made me to do it - ofcourse ;) Since I am still in the early days of this challenge I won't brag that "Oh, that changed my life and blah blah" but it has certainly made me more observant of the little things that actually make me happy on a daily basis. These things were always there but as ignorant as we humans are, we often need to make a conscious effort to notice them and say, "Oh! that actually is so nice and makes me happy." 

Met friends from school and college
As I grew older, I was more than worried than I will never be able to relive my childhood, little did I know - Meet your friends from the younger days and BHAM! you are 12 again...
It is always difficult to plan and decide a date, respecting everyones schedules, but a little effort and smart planning can give you hours and hours of time to be a li'l one again. I had some good time meeting my friends and realising they have not changed and are as silly as me :P Sometimes all, one has to do is pick a date, pick a restaurant or a fun place and just show up - this guarantees the best time of your life - couple of fab hours with your friends and and hello its 1999 again!

Spent some time alone and consciously
By now, you would happen to think that I am on some discover "the inner me" programme :D, actually not so much. I do not propagate being alone or lonely... but sometimes having a regular alone-time with yourself can be quite a boon. You tend to discover that you are a wonderful company to yourself. You can be perfectly sane and comfortable and enjoy it. Its a myth that you need people or technology or a book to just make you feel, you are not a complete lunatic, just being with yourself. It helps you notice your breathing, your thought-pattern, you become more aware of your choices and mostly make better ones, you hardly have to impress anyone but yourself. And the great part of doing this, you are much awesome of a company than when you are with people, now that you have given yourself a li'l break.


Did some research
Now this one is vague, I always find my self digging for more info; but this time around Easter I was very much intrigued on the concept of reincarnation and rebirth in general. A topic that would always fascinate me, but I never really took the time to investigate. I started looking up articles by Dr. Brian Weiss and other experts like him. Turns out, I was not so much looking for data on this concept alone but in general about a lot of other minor topics - with all the available resources like books, thesis, videos, documentaries etc there is so much for one to discover and learn. It all did fascinate me even more that now it is a regular habit each day to read or watch something which is not usual for me - recently it was the Lions Videos by the zookeper Kevin Richardson - just wow!


Hit the snooze button
Okay! This may be easy for a large majority of you, but I am a poor sleeper and even on a day off - I cannot lay in and sleep like there is no tomorrow. I could not really sleep-sleep but I did manage to take the liberty to lie in bed for extra time than usual, this really made my mornings calmer. Well, the whole agenda was not to sleep like a sloth but to just slow down and relax.

M.A.C Lipstick Review - M.A.C Matte Lipstick - Shade Diva

My M.A.C Lipstick in Diva When it comes to M.A.C lipsticks I can go on and on, a true lipstick lover will know that M.A.C lipstick is the queen of lipsticks because of its wide range of formulas and shades. Whenever I buy an high-end lipstick, for me the shade matters the most, I do not like buying bold shade for fear I won't use it much and it won't justify the price. I wanted a red tone matte lipstick from M.A.C but at the same time I did not want a bold red or orange red tone lipstick as it would not flatter my skin tone. I almost left the counter thinking red is out of question, matte red is totally out of question and then I happen to swatch M.A.C Diva - I always looked at M.A.C Diva as more of an autumn-wintery shade and that it would look more festive and wine shadey kinda color. My First Impression: My mind: "Oh my my, it can be red, ok get your view right - its more blue-based red on you, not redddd...marooooon, maroon is a nice shade!"  My...

Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum Review

I have always liked a good Lotus product every now and then. Sometime during the start of winters I decided to include serums in my skincare routine, now a dry skin baby like me needs to think a couple of times before adding something new to my skincare routine so as to not further dry my skin and that too in winters. I started using the  Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum from December last year and I was using it on alternate days and night, as I do not believe using something new regularly just to see how my skin is reacting in the first few days. I picked this product from the Nykaa winter sale and managed to get a good discount as well. The MRP is INR 545 for 30ml and usually you do end up getting discount of 20-25% on Nykaa. Though, it is not a super pricey product, discounts always help while purchasing a "never tried before" product. I was waiting to use it for a month or so, before I could share my two cents on it. Now abou...

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 slightl...
