Makeup 'N' Women

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...

On some days the only color that your lip loves is nude. Something a little bit more than your natur al lip color.  It is also very difficult to know what shade of nude coul d compliment one 's skin tone as what shade may look like a perfect nude for me could turn to be a brown or almost clear lip balm shade for you.

Google Image There is a constant reminder we need to give ourselves that we are enough. We do not need anyone to berate us or elevate us just because we are women, to realize our worth. We women have this crazy habit of multi-tasking and trying to please everyone for a lil' appreciation, may be a nod or to feel important, we need to stop that and just enjoy to the fullest and believe we are enough.  We often feel guilty for not being the perfect daughter, perfect sister, perfect friend, perfect girlfriend, perfect wife, perfect daughter in law, perfect mom, perfect employee and so on. Who fed this thought to us that we are born to be masterpieces, we were born to play multiple roles and enjoy them and not to constantly compare and evaluate how well we are doing. Though, it is human nature to strive and be better versions of ourselves each day - there is still no hard and fast rule that we ought to be perfect. We are perfect in our own uniqueness and we are doing...

Summers are here. Many of us have a love-hate relationship with summer - Okay OKAY!

Here are the top tricks to enjoy Summer in a cool way - Ironical, right? Give them a go and have an enjoyable Summer 2017. Stay Hydrated Human body is made of about 70 per cent water and has the tendency to release by way of urine and sweating in a big way, it is quite possible that one can sweat more in the summer months and the best way to beat the summer blues is to chug down lots of water.

Were we not in January 2017, like yesterday!?  Well, I was just trying to digest that we are in 2017 and March begins. 😕 Anyway, to the good things, New Month End - New Favorites My top 5 categories of everything I loved this month. 1) Makeup Category: Clinique Pop Lipstick in Raspberry Pop No. 24 Whats a monthly favorite without a big shout-out to lipsticks! The Clinique Pop Lipstick collection have been around for a while and I was already finding a hard time finding yet another perfect shade of Mac Lipstick so time for "Brand Change". It was also one of my new year's resolution to experiment new products and to come out of my comfort zone. First off, lets spare a sec or two to admire how flattering this shade is, I was hunting for something in nude for an everyday color but I couldn't stop myself from picking this one for its beautiful shade which can work for both day and night time and its amazing texture. It is easy on the lips and does have a go...

So, yeah, its 2017! and nearly March, Where have I been?!  First of, Happy New Year, Guys!!! 💗 Today's post is all about the "Wow  of Pondicherry" Google Image What a place, I must say! Travelling to Pondicherry was a sudden plan around Christmas time last year and truly a trip that touched my mind, body and soul.  Some places are like that, you do not hear a lot of people talk about it but thats' exactly where the hidden gems lie. My husband and I packed our suitcase and flew to Pondicherry hoping for a few days of calm and quiet right before the Christmas hustle bustle and yes thats what we beautifully experienced there. We stayed at this hotel which by all means had great love for wide open spaces and greenery all around. The trip started with the first day relaxing at our hotel which gave us a great introduction of how serene the whole place would be, the crisp countryside kinda air, picturesque French goodness and the delectable Pondy cuisine....
