Makeup 'N' Women

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...

Hello 2018,  I have never been so eager for a start of a new year since 2000! (Millennium and all) I hope you all had an amazingly wonderful festive period. I am all about the new beginnings and fresh starts which new year promises in a big way. There is nothing extraordinary about 2018 like travel, big new purchases, planned activities - NADA! nothing at all... that is what I am absolutely chuffed about, for the very first time, in a very long time I am excited for the new beginnings. 2017 taught me a lot - some things in a big way, some small but important ways - I know for sure I am a different person ready to make the most of life (yeah yeah I get it, its not the new year new me bullshit). I just think I have adulted enough to start living my life in an incredible manner and don't give two hoots about things I have no control on! - pulling out the big guns here, I am a control freak, remember? I am not the resolution kinda gal, some short term goals an...

Like really? where did 2017 go??? Well, this happens every year, one moment you are at the countdown of 3 2 1 ---- Happy New Year!!! and post couple of blinks you are at the seasons of sweaters and countdown to New Year again!!!  Now to the 2017 Highlights!!! This was the year I started the Social Media Challenge #100daysofhappiness on      Instagram  - life and perspective changing. It was an impulsive decision to get started but I was glad it was one thing I actually held onto and completed it. It helped me view from a different angle of life, to notice the smaller and simpler things that happens in life. It kept me mindful of the things happening around me which I reckon as so important given the fast paced lives we all live in. Totally digging on a life changing hack - "Law of Attraction"   - Well, one doesn't become a pro on such things over-night as it is a law and it requires a lot of accepting and practicing to really say that...

How is it even June so early?! This year, my reading game has been so poor, I must admit that I have a huge pile of books that need some reading, which I did not, as I was busy binge-watching TV series and Youtube.  I have read a couple of books this year so far, but mostly on my phone which sucks, I really do not enjoy reading books on an electronic device - but those books were something I did not want to own so... Some of them were: - The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak (I own this one) - Orange is the new black by Piper Kerman (ditched it mid way - found the tv series better) - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo (some tips were fine) - The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman (Easy read - read it in a day - good one) - You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay (Obsessed! Easy read and quite inspirational) - The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (Heard so much about this one - I had to read it - Again inspirational) - The Magic by Rhonda Byrn...

  Google Image 1) Will it rain whole day? - by whole day I mean like for more than 15 mins at a stretch 2) When it rains heavily for more than 20 minutes - Oh My God!

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.
