Hi Guys,We all know how critical the situation is around us and we all are in this together. To get Coronavirus under control entire India is under 21-day lockdown. Honestly, it is a bit difficult but going outside is even scarier as Covid19 is spreading like wildfire all around the globe. We are only allowed to go out to get essentials and that is exactly why we went out.I did stalk up on the household products a few days back and you can check my haul below for that.But after a week, we needed bread, some veggies and fruits. So I and my husband drove down to 37 Krishna Marsh which is a grocery store here in Delhi. Watch the video below for my experience:To enter the store, a mask is compulsory and they sanitize your hands before you enter. One 3-4 people can enter in one go and rest stand in line but at a distance.I entered without any expectations but the store was nicely stalked up. There were people constantly filling up the empty shelves.There was everything from veggies to maggi, pasta, sugar, rice, frozen snacks, chips and even toilet paper. The only few things which were slacking a bit were bread, buns and there was no paneer.Honestly, I am so happy and relieved. Guys are government is doing such a great job on keeping grocery stores stalked up. Can't thank the store workers and transporters enough for the services.Guys, don't panic, stay home, stay safe and pray for the world.

 Decorating your space with succulents, cactus and monstera is huge on-trend these days. You can find so many plant pages on Instagram that show what plants to get and how to take care of them but do you know plants help us to unwind and relax. Here is How plants help us relax?1. Eliminates harmful toxins and improves air quality-Plants are natural air purifiers and can help to remove toxins from the atmosphere.2. Plants Protect us from Diseases- Plants can take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce oxygen, improving the air quality. They also help to reduce airborne dust levels and increase air humidity. This can reduce coughing, itchy eyes and fatigue.   Fantastic air-filtering plants are Spider Plants, Dwarf Date Palm, and Chinese Evergreen.3. Reducing background noise- There’s nothing worse than trying to relax and constantly being bombarded by background noise. You can create big plants around the parameters of your state. This will create a stress-free environment and reduces the level of stress.4. Helping you sleep better- Sleep is very important for one's well-being. Certain plants have sleep-promoting qualities that can help with insomnia including eucalyptus, lavender, and rosemary.5. Providing Stress Relief Therapy- seeing your plant grow feels very rewarding and will boost your self-esteem.  Being surrounded by nature helps to make you mindful and much more patient. gardening has been found to ease stress and relieve feelings of anxiety.Now that you know how important plants are, stop what you are doing, get a watering can and a go out to spend some time with greens and yes, don't forget to leave your phone inside.

Hi Guys,The world is going through Pandemic and it would be a lie if I say that I am not tensed. But there is a difference between being tensed and creating panic. So first of all, stop worrying, keep calm and pray for yourself, people around you and the entire world. As we all know, it is not safe to go out, to the store every day, it is best to stalk up for a week to 10 days so that you can avoid going out.This does not mean that one buys the bulk of anything, just enough for you and your family for a few days.Here are my Groceries haul:Hope this was helpful. Do stalk up on your daily needs but not hoard in bulk. remember, everybody needs to feed their family.

Hi Guys,hu, it has been quite some time since I popped in here. Life has changed and so has my schedule. There is so much more than my day consists of now. Apart from my professional work, I now have to take care of the house, clean up and a lot more chores.So I thought to take you guys with me on my new journey and start this new series of videos called clean with me. So here is my first #cleanwithme video where I cleaned and re-organised my living room post 2-day shoot.After shoot, the house just gets trashed. I had my dining table full of a haul stuff, had cords and chargers lying around and a lot of shoes all over the place.While cleaning, I decided to water all my indoor and outdoor plants and also wiped down all the surfaces with my DIY cleaning liquid thing.Let me know your feedback on the video and don't forget to like, subscribe and comment.

Hey Guys,Wherever I go, I am always on the lookout for gorgeous baths! We make sure that the hotel we are staying at has a big bathtub.A hot bath relaxes mind body and soul. It is the easiest way to unwind. Here are the benefits of hot baths.1. Lowers blood sugar- A hot bath may be just what you need to lower your blood sugar and burn calories. In a recent study done by Loughborough University, scientists investigated the effect a hot bath has on blood sugar control (an important measure of metabolic fitness) and on energy expended (number of calories burned). They recruited 14 men to take part in the study, who each soaked in a hot bath for one hour. They then compared how many calories were burned in each session, as well as measured their blood sugar for 24 hours after each trial. Bathing resulted in about as many calories being burned as a half-hour walk (around 140 calories). The overall blood sugar response to both conditions was similar. Goodbye, gym.2. Fall asleep faster-Hot water relaxes the body and better prepares us for falling asleep. When a tense body enters a warm bath, the hot water increases the body temperature and relaxes the muscles. Relaxing the muscles not only soothes us physically but also mentally. That being said, only 20 minutes is needed and be careful not to fall asleep in the bath!3. Lowers blood pressure-Studies have shown that soaking in a hot bath can lower your blood pressure. This is a great system for those with heart conditions and even those who don’t. But first, consult your doctor if you do have a heart condition because a hot bath will also raise the rate of your heartbeat. If the doc says it’s OK, then it's a great way of bringing down your blood pressure.4. Relieves muscle tension-Hot showers can relieve tension and soothe stiff muscles. If you have a powerful showerhead, even better! Let the hot water work like a mini massage on your shoulders, neck, and back.5. Have cleaner, healthier skin. A good soak in hot water, be it a bath or shower, can open up the pores in our skin. And if the water is clean then it can wash some of the dirt and toxins from our skin. The result is fresher and cleaner skin.6. Moisturizes our skin. We may not like the wrinkled skin we get after a hot bath, but it actually has a good effect on it. The warm water leaves the skin moist for longer and prevents it from drying up and getting those little cracks that often appear when it's dry.7. Improves blood circulation. Dipping the body in hot water to the neck is kind of an exercise for your blood vessels. This is because water creates physical pressure on the body and so it increases the capacity of our heart. In other words, when we're inside the water, the heart works faster and stronger. Consider this more like a light exercise and just a few dips a week is an excellent work out for your heart.8. Helps relieve cold/flu symptoms. A hot shower also acts as a natural decongestant to relieve cold symptoms, since the hot steam moisturizes nasal passages. Taking a 10-15 minute hot-soak-break can also really help you feel better while your body is trying to get better.9. Reduces headaches. Most types of headaches are caused by the narrowing of blood vessels in the head. The positive effect of the hot water on our blood vessels can be used to alleviate the pressure on those blood vessels and cure our headache.10. Helps us feel better about ourselves- After a stressful day, take a nice warm shower and try to relax, as it's known that when we feel better physically, we get more confident in ourselves, the more convinced we are up to the challenges ahead. A hot bath is also a great way to reduce daily anxiety as well and make us feel good all around.As there are so many benefits of hot baths, take some time before bed, fill up the tub and relax in the hot bath for a few minutes. If not possible, jump into the hot shower to be able to take few benefits of hot baths.

Hey Guys,You saw me shopping at the Banjara Market, Gurgaon in the last video and today I am going to show you what all I got from there and also will be sharing my bargaining tips.So, check out the video below to what all I got and all the prices as well!Tips to shop at Banjara market:1) DO not go in the afternoon- I mean I am really good with all the summer heat generally but this market is sun facing and is not fun to sweat and inhale dust all that the same time. Also when you are street shopping, you want to be relaxed so try to avoid going in the afternoon, you might not enjoy the experience.2) Wear Sports shoes- As the market is located on along the road which is under construction, there are piles and piles of mud. To go to a shop, you might have to climb up and down these dunes which are difficult in slippers so try and wear your sports shoes. Also, you will be walking a lot so they will keep you comfy.3) Carry A Big Shopping- A lot of these sellers don't have any kind of bag to carry bought products. So make sure to carry a shopping bag so that you can fit at-least those little decoratives.4) Bargain A LOT-  The only way you can get a good deal is to go out their and BARGAIN. I follow the policy of reducing 60% of the price and then adding 10% back so as to get the product on best price.5) Always SHop from the Inner Lane- It's an L SHaped market. Always start with the inner lane. Sellers here are desperate to sell and often break the price as soon as you walk in.6) Always check the product closely- As it's a flea market,  a lot of products have small and big defects. So do check everything closely before paying.7)  Before purchasing, check a few more shops for the best deal as a lot of them have similar products- So no matter how much you are liking something, do not go over the budget to get something. A lot of the sellers have the exact same things, so go out there, explore and then make the purchase.So here are tip and tricks to shop at The Banjara Market. Do check out my last Blog post Banjara Market Gurgaon Tour: Furniture Market Gurgaon for more details.

It’s official, it’s cool to be casual! Long gone are the days where we have to worry about dressing up to go to the store for some milk… Unless we’re a celebrity, of course. Instead, we can totally rock the casual look whenever we want to. Yep, even if that does mean going casual to a party. However, you have to be able to master the casual style, so it doesn’t look like you’ve just rolled out of bed. Here are five tips to help you do just that.SourceThe perfect jeansThere’s no denying that jeans have become essential for everyone’s wardrobe nowadays. You can wear them to work, on a night out with the girls, during a trip to the store, or even on a first date. However, you need to make sure they’re well-fitted and suit your body shape. Go for a bootcut or flare jean if you’re an hourglass, wider legs for pear shapes, and boyfriend jeans for when you just want to feel comfy but look great. Skinny jeans are also a winner because they can so easily be dressed up with a pair of heels.SourceDressing up the topDepending on where you’re going, it can be a good idea to dress up the top half of your body if you’re wearing jeans. This doesn’t have to be a full-on sequined halterneck, but it is worth considering how to bring the whole look together. If you’re going to work, for example, then you may want a plain white tee and blazer combo. If you’re heading out with the girls, then perhaps that sequined halterneck would actually work for you! When you have a free few hours one day, mix and match some tops with your jeans to see what looks most casual chic.Throw on some sneakersAh, sneakers! They’re just the best thing to dress down a look if you don’t want to come across too OTT. You can literally wear them with everything, even that pretty summer dress that you only ever wore with heels before. Sneakers can transform an entire outfit into something more casual; they’re practically magic. Try a pair of white sneakers with a skater dress and denim shirt over the top for an awesome date night look. Or throw on some sneakers with your jeans and a blazer for a look that can go from the office to a shopping trip.SourceGrab a jacketIt’s winter, so it’s all about the jackets right now. Unfortunately, some of them can make you look swamped or ruin a casual look by being too formal. It’s all about striking a balance. Go for something that can be cinched in at the waist using a belt or tie, but can also be left open. Depending on your outfit, you can play around with your jacket to see what looks best that day. Stick to neutral colors such as grays, tans, and black.Add in some accessoriesTo truly master your casual style, you need to know what you’re doing with accessories! If you drape yourself in a ton of jewelry, then it might make the whole casual thing look a bit weird. However, don’t add any accessories and you really could look like you have just rolled out of bed. Statement earrings are the perfect way to finish off any casual look, but you could also play around with necklaces, rings, and a scarf or two.Trying to pull off a casual style without looking scruffy may take a few attempts at first, but you’ll soon be a pro. Do you have any other tips to add to the list? Let me know in the comments below.

Hello everyone!If this post has reached you, then I am really grateful that I still have a few of you who enjoy reading blog posts. I know it's been quite some time since I last published a post here, to be precise - six months.A lot has changed in mine, in-fact even in our lives since then (well thanks to COVID), so as I took = my own sweet time to get settled into the new phase of life, I realised it was finally time to let you all know what I've been upto since my last post.Well, to rewind - you all know I got married back in 2018, and had been living in Mumbai with my husband. I had also started working with Tiktok and I was really enjoying my work and life there. But, as I thought that I was finally in the best phase of my life, we had a major life decision to make - "to move abroad".My husband got an amazing work opportunity back in December last year, and I had to make this decision - get ready to start our lives together in a big new city, or I stay back in Mumbai, probably move to a smaller apartment and wait a few months, find another work opportunity and then join my husband.But well, we had less than a month to decide, and honestly I was going through so many emotions and thoughts - what if I don't get my visa later and I am unable to join my husband ; what if I don't enjoy living in Mumbai and feel miserable about my decision. I discussed it with my hubby, friends and family, and eventually I decided the right thing to do at the moment was to move abroad.So, here I am, writing this post from my new home in Tokyo, where I moved back in February. Those who follow me on Instagram, might have seen my updates about looking for a house, moving in finally and well ofcourse what I have been doing to keep myself busy since we are all maintaining social distancing. View this post on Instagram *Life Update : We’ve moved to #Tokyo! * - Decision to leave my beautiful country, an amazing job and loved ones was not an easy one; but what’s life without new challenges, right? 😊😊 So here I am in a big city ready to take my life in a new direction , and waking up to this stunning view every day, till we find our humble abode in the land of the rising sun. 🥰🥰🥰 - #movingforward #newlife #newbeginnings #tokyoblogger #lifeintokyo #ritzcarlton #suitelife #japan🇯🇵 #travelblogger #tokyoskylineA post shared by Nitika Bhatia Whig (@theshopaholicdiaries) on Jan 28, 2020 at 9:08pm PSTBut if you haven't seen any of those updates, I am just going to share a few pictures of what it's been like living in Tokyo past few months : View this post on Instagram They say, live like the locals do - so meet my new ride 🚲 - not very fancy, but hey it does the job well. 😅😅🥰 - #tokyoblogger #ontheroad #tokyodiaries I have been mostly keeping myself busy by doing home workouts and most days I just go out for a ride on my bicycle near my apartment building as it has a lovely stream passing by which makes for a perfect route for a jog or bike rides. View this post on Instagram And so the spring buds burst, and so I gaze, And so the blossoms fall, and so my days ... 🌷🌷🌷 Onitsura - #tokyoblogger #lifeintokyo #spring #lifestyleblogger #travelgram #Sakura #blossoms #japantravel #goodvibesA post shared by Nitika Bhatia Whig (@theshopaholicdiaries) on Mar 23, 2020 at 11:12pm PDTI was lucky enough to have experienced my first sakura season in Japan, which is literally the best time to be in Japan. Usually people enjoy sakura season by having Hanami, which is basically a picnic event to enjoy the blossoms. But since the entire nation is currently in the state of emergency, we decided to skip it for this year and just enjoyed walks around the sakura trees near our house and also visited the famous Meguro river to experience the stunning cherry blossoms. View this post on Instagram I’m ready for flip-flops, green grass, sunshine, blooming flowers and birds singing. 🌷🌷🌷 - #ootd #sakura #springishere #cherryblossoms #lifeintokyo #theshopaholicdiaries #tokyoblogger #goodvibesA post shared by Nitika Bhatia Whig (@theshopaholicdiaries) on Apr 5, 2020 at 5:49pm PDT View this post on Instagram By now, you all might know that I am a lipstick hoarder. However, even with the dozens of 💄 I have, I end up using only a few outta them most of the times. 💁‍♀️⁣ ⁣ So today, I thought about sharing my five favorite and most-used lipsticks:⁣ ⁣ 🔅🔅Faux by @maccosmetics - my go-to lipstick in a beautiful mauvish pink shade.⁣ ⁣ 🔅🔅Chili by @maccosmetics - a warm-toned red that’s perfect for every day wear.⁣ ⁣ 🔅🔅001 Sin by @lovecolorbar - I purely love this formula - it’s not drying, not sticky but works beautifully on the lips.⁣ ⁣ 🔅🔅014 Dolce Vita by @diormakeup - a stunning red lipstick that I wear for all dressy occasions. ⁣ ⁣ 🔅🔅31 Cambon by @chanel.beauty - a pinkish red that’s highly pigmented and moisturising.⁣ ⁣ Have you tried any of these lipsticks as well? ⁣ Let me know your favorite lipstick in comments below! 💕💕⁣ -⁣ #lipsticklove⁣ #lipstickaddict ⁣ #chanelbeauty⁣ #diormakeup⁣ #maclipstick⁣ #theshopaholicdiaries⁣ #instalove⁣ #makeuplove ⁣ #quarantinemoodA post shared by Nitika Bhatia Whig (@theshopaholicdiaries) on May 7, 2020 at 6:36pm PDT Apart from going on with my daily life here, I have tried to adjust to the new routine - which is basically being at home all the time - by indulging in cooking, reading, self care and well Netflix. I am avoiding going out at the moment, except for grocery shopping and my bike rides while maintaining social distancing.I can't tell you guys how many times I opened my laptop to publish new content or share my pictures from Tokyo with you all, but I just never got around to finishing the posts. It's only because I have been struggling to this new life, where even though I am in a beautiful city - I feel like I don't belong here, since I don't know the local language, don't know anyone around and also I miss my old life.So, if you're also struggling with your life at the moment, or you have had setbacks - trust me, you are not alone in this. Everyone goes through tough times in their lives, but definitely you can come out way stronger and better. And that's why I finally gathered some strength to write this blog post and share with you all about my life and that even thought this might not be my time, I know that things will start shaping up soon and I have realised the best way to feel better is to pen down my thoughts, like I used to do earlier.You can follow me on Instagram, where I am definitely more active than on the blog, but I promise I have a lot of content planned up for the blog and I can't wait to share the same with you all.LoveNitika

When it comes to our health , we've often asked ourselves 'Am I healthy?' to 'How healthy am I?'—this shift in attitude has been spurred by the ease of health check-ups and medical tests that one no longer needs a doctor's appointment to carry out. Thanks to modern technology, everything from our blood to hair strand can be swabbed from home and sent off for detailed analysis to a pathology lab.And its really essential to get regular screening tests as they can catch a health condition even before it starts showing symptoms, helping you take preventive measures. These check-ups could be quarterly, twice a year or yearly. This becomes even more important if you have a lifestyle which makes you prone to health risks.One lab that has made health checkups easier and simpler is SRL Diagnostics Lab - that is present across major cities in India and is one of the most preferred labs by medical experts.As part of my regular health check-up, I recently had the chance to visit SRL Lab in Goregaon, Mumbai and review their services first-hand.About SRL Diagnostics :"SRL is the leading diagnostics company in India with an impressive reach, providing superior quality diagnostics services to its customers via an efficient network of labs and collection points. SRL Diagnostics has 397 networking laboratories; 24 radiology/ imaging centres; 44 NABL and CAP-accredited labs; and a footprint spanning more than 6739 collection points. The company has large labs in Dubai and Nepal, and about 70 collection points in various countries outside India. The brand has also recently bagged the prestigious ‘Best brand in diagnostic services in pathology and radiology’ award at The Economic Times Best Brands award- 2019."Experiential :SRL has a large number of collection points across India, making it easier for those leading a busy lifestyle or those who don't have a lab nearby to get their test samples collected from their house as per their convenience and check the results online or get them delivered to their house.Home Sample Collection KitHowever, I decided to visit the lab as I also wanted to experience their lab facilities, which definitely didn't leave me disappointed.Their Goregaon lab is super specialised with a smooth and structured process right from entering the lab to getting your test reports. I have also shared a brief lab tour on my Instagram page which will give you an idea about their high quality standards and efficiency.With SRL, your regular health-checkup will also feel like a “wonderful” experience, as you can not only get specific medical tests done but can also choose from their various full body checkup that have been customised to suit different health needs and lifestyles.Various Health Packages available at SRL DiagnosticsI decided to go for their Fitness Care - Weight Control package that helped me analyse my overall health as well as any underlying reasons for weight gain through a series of 74 tests that cover general health, diabetes, thyroid, inflammation and various other tests.I was surprised to know that I could all get these tests covered in just Rs 3,599 which is less than half of what one might have to pay if these tests are done individually.While I was waiting to collect my test reports, I was glad to know that they have a really comfortable cafeteria where one can relax and have a cup of tea, especially after a long and exhausting day.But the best part definitely is that you can also get the tests reports online, if you want to save yourself the hassle of visiting the lab again.After seeing my reports and discussing with my family doctor, I felt quite relieved that I am not suffering from any ailments and all my major health reports were normal. I am glad that I chose SRL Diagnostics as mine and my family's healthcare partner. A healthy mind and body are something that a lot of us often take for granted. All it would take is just a little attention on our part to have a healthy body and lifestyle. Therefore, I would totally recommend that you should also opt for a health check-up on regular basis with SRL Diagnostics to uate your overall well being and to help identify any ailments or issues in their nascent stage making their treatment far more easier.After all, Prevention is Better than Cure!Check more about SRL Diagnostics at - www.srlworld.com LoveNitika

Hey everyone!Dating in the present times can truly be a pain for men and women alike. If you are wondering why I am talking about dating when I am married now, well, it’s because before I found my Mr. Perfect – I have had a fair share of experience with few dating apps as well as saw my close friends cribbing about the lack of a decent dating app that has genuine like-minded profiles, is unlike the other hookup-crazed swiping apps or isn’t filled with people desperately seeking marriage.If there’s one app that has answered their pleas is OkCupid – a fun, interactive and highly accurate dating site that lets you search and view complete profiles and communicate with other members for free.

Hey lovelies!It feels like I haven't written a blog post in ages, which is also true as last month I was in Delhi for two weeks and also visited my hometown Ludhiana. Overall, it was a busy month with a lot of catching up with family and friends, but also I managed to have a few shoots for my Summer lookbook.And in today's post, I am covering one of my favourite outfits from the summer that features a beautiful sequinned skirt from ZARA that had been lying in my closet since a long time.I picked this skirt last season from ZARA, but whenever I thought of wearing it - I kept it back in the closet thinking its way too loud for the day. But as I had a spa party to host during my time in Delhi last month, I couldn't think of anything else than this skirt that's flowy, comfy yet dressy for the event.To break the monotony of the skirt, I styled it with a boat-neck top from Cover Story and completed the look with the classic monochrome pumps from ZARA. These statement making earrings from ZARA gave a complete party vibe to the outfit while the Aldo clutch is small but spacious to keep my phone and cards secure.Top : Cover StorySkirt : ZARAShoes : ZARAEarrings : ZARAClutch : AldoA sequinned skirt like this or even a pencil sequin dress is perfect for evening parties and events this festive season. The best part is that it can be dressed up or down in many ways like with a turtle-neck knit for a city-chic look, or with a graphic tee to add an instant edge to your outfit while making it perfect for a brunch with friends.What's your take on this outfit and what are your picks for Festive Season dressing?

Hey lovelies!I did an outfit post sometime back featuring my Gucci tote and I received a lot of queries about the quality of the bag, where to find an authentic luxury bag and more - that made me write this blog post which can be your quick refer-to guide before you make you big splurge.Planning your first luxury purchase could be an unnerving experience, especially if you have dreamt about it since long and you have decided to use a major chunk of your savings. While you may have set your heart on a particular bag already and are looking forward to buy it soon, there are a few things that may help you make a smart decision as this bag could easily become one of the key pieces in your wardrobe.Set a Realistic BudgetYou may have seen a lot of designer handbags on your Instagram feed and being flaunted by your favourite celebrities, and would be thinking that you would have to shell thousands of dollars for that it-bag. But, you don't necessarily have to spend a bomb, especially for your first bag.I had first planned to buy a luxury bag a couple of years back but I knew it will take up my entire salary for three months - so I ended up deciding it wasn't a wise decision. An year later, when I was consistently earning well from my blog and my corporate job - I decided to set aside my earnings for my IT-bag. However, I still didn't want to go overboard with the budget, so after a lot of planning and research online, I decided to spend roughly 1600 dollars for a mid-size bag that will be perfect for work to play and was also realistic considering my earnings.That's why I suggest that you go for a realistic budget that will be easily manageable considering your earnings, without making you compromise on your lifestyle and general expenditure. You shouldn't be maxing our your credit limit or savings just to buy the IT-bag of the season - as you may end up regretting rather than enjoying your new luxury bag.Get to know the StylesOnce I started exploring bags that I wanted to purchase, I was pleasantly surprised to see that even a particular style from a designer label comes in various sizes, colours, patterns etc.I had decided to buy the iconic bag from Louis Vuitton - Speedy - which came in four sizes - 25, 30, 35 and 40 and in different materials - Damier Azur canvas, Monogram canvas and Damier Ebene canvas. After visiting the Louis Vuitton boutique at DLF Emporio and checking out all the styles - I had fallen in love with the Speedy 30 in Damier Ebene that looked versatile and smart.Louis Vuitton Speedy 30However, before visiting the boutique I had done little research online about the styles that I preferred so that I don't get overwhelmed seeing the endless options in the store that could confuse me more.I would recommend checking out The PurseBlog which has a lot of information on different handbags from popular luxury labels like Dior, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chanel and more. You can go through the various options available, make a list of a few styles that you would want to check out personally based on your requirements like - usage, occasion, color etc.Compare the Price & FunctionalityNow, this is a key point to consider, especially if it's going to be your first luxury handbag and you would be looking forward to use a lot often. While there are many trendy options that come every season, the classics are better priced, never go out of style and are more suitable for all lifestyles.Therefore, while a trending Dior saddle bag might look really Instagram-worthy at the moment, in the long run it might not prove to be really functional or versatile as compared to its hefty price. I would suggest that you check out styles that are not only easy-to-style, but are also more functional with options like a detachable sling, separate compartments for mobile or tablet, zippers etc. that would help you make most of your handbag.Gucci Pebbled leather bagLike for my first bag, I really wanted a mid-size bag that is roomy enough for my every day essentials - but also I don't have to think a lot about pairing it with any outfit. But for my second bag, which is a Gucci pebbled leather tote - I experimented a little with the color and went ahead for a bigger size as I really wanted a bag that can fit my laptop easily, especially for work meetings and shoot days when I have to carry a lot many things with me.Go to the authorised Brand BoutiqueThis is a really important point to consider, especially since this bag is going to be your big investment. A lot of people ask me about the authenticity of the deals available online on various websites that claim to source directly from the designer labels and sell at unbelievable prices.I only say one thing to them - why would a designer label, which apparently never goes on Sale - would offer their goods at one-third of their original price?Yes, many labels like Michael Kors and COACH have end of season sales on their merchandise, but luxury labels like Louis Vuitton and Prada almost never go on sale. And if someone is claiming to have their products on Sale, I would suggest that you ask for the authenticity card or check directly by calling at the Brand boutique.Also, the feeling of buying your designer handbag directly from the store is totally magical. So, to save yourself from disappointment later, visit an authorised Brand boutique to check out their styles in person, feel the quality and make your final purchase. Versatility is the keyComing to the last point of this article, what's the fun of spending thousand of dollars on a bag that you can only style with one or two outfits in your wardrobe; or you can only carry to certain events?It's always a good idea to purchase a more versatile and neutral bag as your first luxury handbag, rather than a trending number like one with too many embroidered patches or quirky elements - that might give it a unique appeal, but might go out of trend soon. Also, consider picking neutrals that will go well with most of your wardrobe items.I really hope you all find this post helpful in selecting your first luxury bag and hope it turns out to be an investment that you fall in love with, as I have with my two luxury babies. If this post helped you in making your first luxury purchase, do let me know in Comments below with the Style you picked - I would love to know about it! LoveNitika

Hey lovelies!If you all have gone through my posts from my Mauritius vacation, then you are going to love this post - as I am sharing in detail my stay experience at the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette. It was my first vacation abroad with my husband, so we were looking for a property which not only had the best amenities but also a picturesque view - as Mauritius is all about its beautiful beaches and lagoons.So while we were making our bookings, we came across this lagoon-facing resort by Radisson Blu located in Poste Lafayette, about an hour drive from the airport. They also have another family resort in Azuri village which is equally beautiful, but we picked Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette for its picturesque location and as it was an intimate, adult-only space (not that I don't like kids, but we wanted a relaxing holiday without having to be around kids who are running wild and driving everyone crazy)Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette MauritiusAfter all if you are looking for a perfect holiday, you not only want a beautiful location but also outstanding amenities, courteous staff, spacious rooms and sumptuous dining options. All of this and more the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette was able to deliver. Check out my detailed hotel review below :Location - Reaching the resort isn't very difficult, as you can easily take a taxi from the airport and reach the resort - while enjoying the amazing view enroute that definitely didn't make us regret an hour long drive.  The resort is located right off of the main coastal road in Poste Lafayette, a quiet village in northeastern Mauritius and provides an easy access to almost all the tourist spots on this small island. While you get a private beach to relax and soak the sun at the resort, the public beaches are also just a few minutes away from the property.The resort is also closer to its sister property - the Radisson Blu Azuri which is only a 10 minutes drive from here - and the best part is that you get a free access to the pool, restaurants and beach activities at the Azuri property as well during your stay here - you just have to inform the hotel staff a day in advance and you will get a shuttle to take you to the family resort which has a bigger lagoon.Rooms - As we had made our bookings through a travel portal, our package included a superior room; but we got an upgrade to a spacious, beautifully done ocean view room which was exactly what I wanted for a romantic holiday. The rooms were spacious and had a modern design featuring a pristine white-and-blue theme, with all the amenities like minibar, flat-screen TV, free WiFi, coffee and tea making facilities, electronic safe, rain showers and more. The ocean view room also featured individual air conditioners.The only thing that I really wished the room had was a bathtub - considering its an adult-only space and targets couples, I think they should have included bathtubs as well in the rooms. However, the panaromic ocean view and Juliette balcony made up for the lack of the bathtub. And, also as the beach area was just steps away from our room - we spent a lot of time on the beach loungers.Activities - Now, here comes the best part from our stay at the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette - the Blu Passport - which gives the guests an access to free activities when staying in either of the Radisson Blu resorts. While the beach activities at Poste Lafayette resort were limited to free kayaks, pedalos, snorkel gear, and glass-bottom boat trips - the access to numerous beach activities at the Azuri resort made up for it. We spent a day at the Radisson Blu Azuri resort, sipping amazing cocktails by the pool and making the most of our free access to the beach activities like snorkelling and pedal boating.Poolside at Radisson Blu AzuriThere were also a lot of other in-house activities organised at the resort on a daily basis (the reception provides a complete list of activities planned for the week) - like cocktail tasting, bike excursions, aqua workouts, cooking sessions and more - that kept us occupied when we were not resting by the beach or sight seeing. Food - The resort has three restaurants and a bar -Cafe Nautilus is their all-day dining restaurant, located by the pool - offering amazing buffet with local and international dishes. As the hotel had a lot of Indian guests during our visit, the buffet also included a few Indian dishes for those who are strictly vegetarian or prefer having Indian meals; but we savoured their local favourites which were sumptuous.Breakfast at Cafe NautilusCafe Nautilus next to the poolPhi Restaurant is located adjacent to Cafe Nautilus and serves a la carte Mauritiun dinners - However, we didn't get to try it as we spent most of our evenings at the Aqua Beach Restaurant.One of the delicious desserts we had at Aqua restaurantAqua Beach Bar & RestaurantLocated by the beach, the Aqua Beach Bar and restaurant was our favourite from the three dining options available - not only because of the beach view - but also because they had some amazing cocktails on offer and delightful pizzas and seafood platters.  There were also special performances like live music and Sega shows that were staged by the bar at night.A special thanks to Mr. Sunil from the F&B team who helped us make the most of our dining experience by suggesting us the local favourites and the drinks that would best go with the dishes.Other Features - Apart from the modern rooms and beach amenities, the resort also has a pool (that is heated in winter months) surrounded by a vast pool deck having loungers and fabric umbrellas to relax by.There is free fitness centre which is small yet has all the modern gymming equipments if you feel like taking a break from all the dining and sunbathing for a workout session.The spa is one of the main highlights of the property, offering more than a dozen type of massage and Ayurvedic treatments that would help you rejuvenate over your holiday. It has three couple treatment rooms and five treatment rooms; and a luxurious wellness area that overlooks the coast.I indulged in a relaxing head and foot massage just before my holiday ended that was a perfect finish to my amazing stay at this property.Staff - While hotel amenities and surroundings are not the only things that make for a delightful stay experience, it is also about little things that makes the experience even better.The staff was really courteous and helpful. Infact on the second day of my stay during our sight seeing tour, I realised I had left behind a valuable in the room, but I made a call to the hotel staff and they duly informed me that I will find it right where I had placed it when I come back - the assurance itself made my mood better, else I know I wouldn't have been able to enjoy my day worrying about if I will find it when I go back. There were various other things I loved like the courteous notes by housekeeping, a cocktail evening with the Management where we got to know more about the staff, ever helping staff who guided us through things to do at the beach and near the property or encouraged us to try different cuisines throughout our stay, to the little departure gifts that we received - that made our entire experience memorable and fun.From the Cocktail eveningOverall, I truly enjoyed our stay at the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette over a week - and they not only lived upto our expectations, but went beyond it with their amazing service and courtesy. The property is a perfect pick for the honeymooners who are looking for a picturesque location, privacy and romantic ambience for their stay.

Hey lovelies!This post was long due! A lot of you who had been following my bridal series, not only wanted to see more pictures of my bridal lehenga but also wanted to know my bridal lehenga shopping experience at Sabyasachi.The first time I started thinking of getting married, I dreamt of being a Sabyasachi bride. I think he is one designer who has taken Indian traditional wear to another level by giving it a modern take with his distinct style. And ever since I saw his designs at the ramp during my initial years of fashion blogging, I absolutely fell in love with his design aesthetics and I always envisioned wearing one of his designs.So, last December when I decided to take the plunge, the first thoughts I had in my mind were about the wedding lehenga. Having only two months in hand till the wedding date, I was kind of in a dilemma that would I even get a lehenga on time or not as usually designers take a minimum of two months to deliver a custom lehenga.My First Visit for Bridal Lehenga Shopping :So in the second week of January, I decided to pay a visit to the heaven of bridal couture - Mehrauli - where all the leading designers have their stores; with my mom and my bestie.When I called to take up an appointment at the Sabyasachi, Anita Dongre and other designer boutique s in the vicinity - I was told an appointment is not needed, and you can visit anytime of the day to check out the collection. (PS : Sabyasachi store is closed on Sundays and they don't do Billings post 6pm)Sabyasachi store in MehrauliI visited a couple of multi-brand boutiques like Kayra and Carma but I didn't find any bridal lehengas to my liking - as they had designs more suitable for a mehendi or engagement function.So, we finally decided to visit Sabyasachi before checking out other designers in the area. Now, I had been to the flagship store before (for the launch event) but I didn't know then that I will be visiting the place again to finalise my wedding lehenga.The Sabyasachi Mehrauli space is no less than royalty - the opulent space has two wings - one for bridal couture and jewellery, while the other wing has ready-to-wear saris, kurtas, menswear and other collections by the designer.While the ground floor of the bridal wing has lighter lehengas and stunning range of sarees, the bridal heaven is on the first floor with all the designs that you have seen on the ramp or on his social media accounts available there.The lehenga I tried during my first visitPrice Range : Now, here's one bummer, if you have always wondered what is the price of a Sabyasachi bridal lehenga - you should keep in mind before visiting the store that the lehengas apt for your D-day are priced above Rs 3,00,000.  So, in case you have a budget lesser than this, you should ideally check out Aza Fashions or Carma - both the multi-designer boutiques keep the lower-priced lehengas from Sabyasachi (priced between 1.5-3 lakh rupees).Even the bridal lehengas in Mehrauli store are in two price ranges : the raw silk lehengas with intricate zardozi work are priced between Rs 3,00,000 to Rs 7,00,000. But if you are looking to buy his famous velvet lehengas, the prices start at Rs 7,00,000 and go up to Rs 20,00,000 or more for his exclusive couture pieces.Designs :All what you see in the store is all what you get! Precisely because all the designs launched by Sabyasachi are available in store and major customisations are not done. You will find each design in two-three color options and the sales assistant will help show you more designs that can be made available on request on their iPads. But don't expect to get a completely new design made or any major customisation to be made to a design you like (at least that's what I was told as they only offer size customisation but any other alterations are not allowed).After going through the collection, I finalised the below lehenga which is from the designer's Devi collection. I always wanted a lehenga that had all-over work in a monotone color. While this lehenga was available in a red and a deep wine colour as well - my mom, my bestie and even the sales assistant agreed that I looked much better in this bright pink color. Final trial of my lehengasNow, after shortlisting this lehenga - we decided to visit the other designers also the same day. We visited Anita Dongre, Manish Malhotra, Sulakshana Monga and Carma that have their flagship stores in Mehrauli - but honestly no other lehenga grabbed my attention and my heart kept going back to the Sabyasachi lehenga.Also, knowing that we didn't have much time in hand - we decided to book my lehenga the same day and went back to the Sabyasachi store.Measurements and Booking : This was my second visit to the store on the day and well right before the measurements I was told to first go purchase a full-cup underwire bra for the correct measurements of the blouse. We rushed to the M&S store in Select Citywalk, purchased a new bra just for the measurements and headed back to the store for booking the lehenga.Finally, the measurements were done on our third visit to the store on the same day and we were told that we would get the lehenga on 24th Feb - just 10 days before my wedding. Their team usually takes two months to deliver the lehenga, so I was still lucky that they decided to make mine in 45 days.(But honestly I would not recommend you to wait till the last minute to book your lehenga, as I was stressed out till the time I got my lehenga as it was so close to the wedding day.)**Also, if you are a UK size L or above, you would have to shell out an extra amount for the lehenga - a fact I wasn't aware of before visiting the store and didn't read even in the posts I had earlier read about the designer's bridal collection. The extra cost could be around Rs 50,000 and can even go upto Rs 1,00,000 or more depending upon the extra number of kalis that would need to be added to the lehenga.**Anyway, after a long day, I finally had a realisation that I was going to be a Sabyasachi bride - a dream that I had envisioned since many years. Just 2-3 days before the lehenga's delivery date, I received a call from the store that my lehenga was finally ready and I could pick it from the store. Eagerly, I visited next day to collect my lehenga and to my surprise - it fit me beautifully. I had lost a few kilos in these two months which made the lehenga a little lose from the waist - but the drawstrings to the lehenga made sure I didn't have to worry about it.To my surprise, they even made a beautiful potli purse to match the lehenga and my outfit was packaged in this beautiful red trunk with Sabyasachi's logo on the top.The Sabyasachi lehenga arrived in this beautiful trunkUndoubtedly, I received a lot of compliments on the gorgeous lehenga - but honestly, it wasn't just for the compliments that I purchased this outfit - it was for the dream that every bride-to-be has - to look the perfect version of herself on her big day.Here are few more pictures of my wedding lehenga and few shots from my D-day -Before ending this post, I would surely like to mention that it doesn't matter that you wear a designer wedding lehenga on your D-day or not, but you should pick something that would not only make you feel confident but also make you feel your prettiest self.Also, don't go by what online magazines or stylists recommend - as there is no one style or dress that you should stick to - just because it is in trend or is out of trend. You should always go out, browse different styles at places you have shortlisted and decide only once you have tried everything on. This is one main piece of advice I would give to upcoming brides.I am really sorry for the lengthy post but hope you enjoyed reading it and hoping it would help you in your journey to pick your bridal lehenga. If you have any more queries about my shopping experience at Sabyasachi, you can leave a Comment below or get in touch with me on Instagram.LoveNitikaUPDATE : As I have been getting a lot of queries regarding my Sabyasachi bridal lehenga, I have added more pictures of the lehenga on my Pinterest account, you can check it HERE.

What's your favourite part of Jaipur, let me know in the Comments below!LoveNitika

Hey lovelies!It's been almost 7 years of blogging, but I have never done a What's In My Bag ever. So, recently when I did a poll on Instagram about what would everyone like to read next on the blog, they wanted to know about my everyday essentials, so I decided to do one.While I am not working full time these days, the essential items that I keep in my bag haven't changed much. If you have noticed my previous outfit posts, you would have seen that I prefer to carry bigger bags or tote bags as I always keep a lot of things with me, especially if I know I am going to stay out for long hours.So, I emptied my bag (which I carried to an event recently) and here's everything that is really and truly in my bag :My Go-To Bag : Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 - I picked this bag last year as my first luxury purchase and it has been my BFF ever since. I mean what's not to love about this bag? It's super spacious, easy to carry and goes well with everything in my wardrobe.Wallet : Trussardi Jeans - So, my husband picked this elegant wallet from Portugal recently and it easily fits into most of my small bags as well. It comes with a handy money pouch that can be carried separately as well; and has multiple slots to keep my cards handy.Business Cards and Holder : So, I received this business card holder as a gift few years back and I designed my business card myself. I carry them every time in my bag, as when you are blogging full-time, you may end up meeting prospective brands who would want to work with you anywhere.House Keys and Pen Drive : So, the bow shaped key chain from H&M doubles up as a key holder and bag charm and I think it's really cute. The heel-shaped pen drive was actually a gift from Steve Madden a few years ago and can also double up as a bag charm.Sunglasses : Now, you might be wondering why I keep two pairs of sunglasses in my bag. Well, the printed sunnies are from Lefties - again a gift from my husband, and I keep them handy in my bag all the time. While the rose gold sunnies are from GUESS and were a gift from my brother, I had kept them in bag for the event and I wear them only occasionally.Makeup Pouch : This glitter makeup pouch was actually a part of a holiday collection set that I bought from Lancome two years back and comes in handy to store my makeup properly.Lipsticks : Being a lipstick addict, I always have two or more lipsticks in my bag. Especially on days when I have to go for a party or an event after work; as a different lipstick can instantly change your look even if you don't change your outfit.MAC Mehr - This shade from MAC is so far the most versatile color I have seen. It not only goes well with any outfit I wear, but is also perfect for day and night.MAC Night to Remember - I always have a red lipstick in my bag, and this one is a stunning red with a luminous finish and lasts for 5-6 hours easily. NYX Soft Matte lip cream - This time in my bag I had the lip cream in Prague which is a bright pink that works well on Indian skin tones.Lip Balm : Now I don't suffer from chapped lips, but I still like to keep a lip balm as when a matte lipstick starts wearing out, a coat of lip balm can help you go for couple of more hoursEye Liner : Not one of my favorite eye liners, but I guess I had this Nykaa eye liner in my bag that day as I couldn't find my regular MAC eye pencil. Nothing bad about this liner, but I just find its applicator uncomfortable to use.Kajal : I picked the VLCC Enchanting eyes Kajal recently after being off-kajal for weeks due to an infection a previous Kajal I used caused. This not only suits my eyes without causing any dryness, but also is super black and lasts for hours long.Mascara : So, apart from lipsticks I am a mascara fan and I have a lot of mascaras. This time I had in my bag an Oriflame super volume mascara and a MAC 3D Black lash mascara (travel size).Blush : I always keep The Body Shop Honey Bronze highlighter that I use as a blush every time I feel like adding a little color to my cheeks - it is easy to use and travel friendly.Mini Perfume : Part of a Victoria's Secret Tease set I bought from Singapore, this mini perfume fits perfectly in any small bag as well and has an enticing floral fragrance with a blend of black vanilla, frozen pear and blooming gardenia.MAC Prep + Prime : It actually works like a balm or a base for a lipstick by instantly adding moisture and smoothing the lips.MAC Blot Film : I also keep a pack of blotting papers in my bag as I have a combination skin, and this thin film helps remove traces of oil or shine without smudging the makeup. Compact Foundation : Revlon Photoready compact is something that comes in handy when you don't have a foundation or want a light, flawless base for your everyday makeup. Also, it can be used with a wet sponge for a higher coverage.Makeup Palette : I usually carry this or a different makeup kit with me if I am having a long day out or have to attend an event directly after work or a meeting. This palette from NYX has literally everything you might need for a quick makeup - eye shadows, contouring shades and brow powders.Mini Brush : This Elizabeth Arden blush brush was a part of a Set of 2 and comes in really handy to apply makeup on the go.Body Mist : You can never go wrong with the ZARA Orange Blossom & Sandalwood which has a mild yet amazing fragrance and has a travel-friendly packaging.Perfume : Again, I don't carry this perfume everyday but when I am going out for blog shoots or events. GUESS 1981 is one of my latest picks and has a soothing woody musky base with floral and fruity notes that are perfect for a dressy day.So, yes, this is an extensive list of products in my bag and often my friends say that I always have something or other in my bag that they need when we are out together. But well, one's always got to be prepared, right?Do you love reading these kind of posts? Let me know in Comments below, if you want me to share more about my makeup and beauty routine.LoveNitika

PIN IT!Hey there! I hope you are doing well and keeping safe. This post is going to be a bit more announcements to fashion-related than fashion styling right now. The whole reason for me starting the fashion section of Moonshine and sunlight was to showcase my personal style. Which I have done since I first posted my fashion post back in 2013. It was all just to have fun and express myself in the times I wanted, like the time I wrote a love letter to myself. But the motive of this whole thing has always been to use what I have in my closet, already. I have done very few sponsored posts in terms of fashion. I collaborated with only the brands I personally like and shop from. I am very happy about it honestly. But with the whole situation changing in the last few years from fast fashion to sustainability in fashion, has been such a refresher.I recently talked about wearing two pieces of clothing which you might have as well, in a new way. I have always believed in wearing and rewearing what I have.But I guess I have never really expressed that part of my personal style here on this Indian Fashion blog. I say Indian fashion blog because I have done a bunch of posts specifically on sarees.I think it's time to change.Change for good.So here are a few differences that will come about in Moonshine and sunlight's fashion posts.1. Styling your clothes, #YourstyleWithPriyanjana -Well, I will not literally style your clothes, every month, I will randomly ask my followers on Instagram - (Follow me at @Priyanjana, if you don't yet), to suggest a theme of styling and a piece of clothing they will wear on such an occasion and pick out the best suggestion and style two outfits with the item of clothing. 2. One garment, 3 outfits, #ConsciousStylewithPriyanjana -This I'd say is a pretty standard format, it's just something I have never done before. I believe in wearable fashion and by wearable, I mean something you can comfortably wear while taking the bus in India. The format will be like the video below, easy tricks we all can use. View this post on Instagram 𝔸 𝕤𝕔𝕒𝕣𝕗 𝕚𝕤 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕟𝕖𝕖𝕕! tutorial on how to style your hair using a scarf #tutorial #igtvtutorial #bangalore #hairstyle #scarf #easytips #tipsandtricks #scarfhairstyle #bangaloreinfluencersA post shared by Priyanjana (@priyanjana) on Feb 28, 2020 at 5:54am PST3. Shopping smart, #FrugalStylingwithPriyanjana -I shop during sales, most of the times. I do not have any hesitation to admit 90% of my clothes are shopped during the sale season. One thing I can say that I have mastered the art of Frugally shopping. and I can teach you a thing or two to save money and still look fabulous.Fashion will be different after the pandemic in 2020. Coronavirus has been a difficult organism for us, humans, to deal with. But we will get through this, although the world will not be the same.So we need to buckle up and help each other out. In every sense. We all are in this together and can't make everything better together. I might be able to help you with the Fashion, nail art and styling after the times of Coronavirus pandemic, through this blog. Someone else might be able to do the same with finances. Any and every aspect of this world that interests you and makes you happy is worth your time and attention. View this post on Instagram Think bright thoughts A post shared by Priyanjana (@priyanjana) on May 4, 2020 at 9:06pm PDT I hope you all stay safe with you dear ones during these trying time of the corona virus pandemic and bounce back stronger. If you have coronavirus symptoms, get tested. Coronavirus transmission from pets is not happening so don't abandon your dogs and cats. Stay safe, stay home, Love, Priyanjana

Skinkraft review IndiaHey everyone! let me tell you one thing, Personalization at this point is the key to make every consumer product perfect and hence, has become the trend everywhere. So, Why should skincare be left behind of this trend?! Skinkraft in India has become the pioneer when it comes to taking care of your monthly personalized skincare needs. Skinkraft products are formulated for each person after an online consultation of sorts. They claim that Skinkraft is a 3-product regimen to give your skin the best treatment!You can visit their website, take a quick quiz to help them understand what are your skin issues and what you'd like to address or address first if you have multiple concerns.I did the same! I went on the Skinkraft website, made my profile and filled out a questionnaire. Where they asked about things like my lifestyle, eating habits, skins conditions.After a week of answering the questions, I received my Month's supply of skincare products.Skinkraft productsSkinkraft treatments for meJust sad with all the pimples and hoping skinkraft will work! haha! There were three products for me.A cleanser/facewash, A serum and a spot treatment, all products from Skinkraft.The reason I received their products from Skinkraft was that I opted to treat my pimple. Since January I had been troubled with pimples, especially around my jawline and chin.So let us see what I have to say about the personalised skincare from Skinkraft  I will keep this simple and will list out what I liked and did not like.What I like about the personalised skincare from Skinkraft -It is personalised, DUH!!The products are suited for your skin type and issue. Quantity of the products is a lot, so it can be easily used for more than a month. The products do work, but it takes a bit of time. The products are selected by Dermatologists.What I do not like about the personalised skincare from Skinkraft -The whole service is done online with questions, but I would love to have an explanation via video why which product was selectedThe three products are to be used for Day time or night, or both the times, that is not explained. There has to be a How to use skinkraft products instruction included. Expensive, if it takes too much time to work for you. All in all, I started with the pimples all over my face, as you can see in the pictures, it at the point it is under control. I did not use this regularly, but on and off for one month and I like the cleanser the most, It is mild, smells great and keeps the moisture balance of the skin. If you want a review of each of the personalised skinkraft products, I'd be happy to do that, but, I don't know if you will get the same as well. Hence, the Honest review of the services provided by skinkraft.The products sent to me by Skinkraft were their -Skinkraft Syndet face cleanserSkinkraft Barrier repair serum Skinkraft Acne total clear solution So, what's my verdict? If you are looking for personalised skincare in India, then Skinkraft is definitely the place to go. Especially because of the ease of use. The products from them are good but might end up being a bit expensive. But, for good skin, that is alright! Let me know what you think! Have you tried the service from Skikraft or their products? what's the price of the skinkraft package you opted for?Love, Priyanjana

I have mastered the art of isolation, and mountains have always helped me externalize my emotions. The few friends that I am left with, they keep telling me that I rubbed off my personality from a mountain. I usually take that as a compliment. Mountains were my first love – the only constant that I have opened my heart to. I have travelled to almost all the recognizable hill stations across the country. I used the word recognizable since the place that I am about to talk about is often overlooked, even though it is quite a convenient place. Lansdowne, […]

With emerging awareness and growing interest in natural, chemical-free skincare products, people are more likely to read through the ingredients and research more before buying or using a skincare product. Earlier, it used to be based on endorsements, advertisements and the face of the brand. But, I am glad that it is finally happening. Today, I will talk about a brand that claims to bring you NO HARM SKINCARE and that is Lashika. Lashika is a skincare brand, created in Canada and then brought to the Indian subcontinent.

Since the season of dryness and roughness has come, I have started taking more care of my skin nowadays. My skincare essentially consists of three primary things, cleansing, toning and moisturizing. These are the three steps I never skip on. Another thing that is very important for me is a good exfoliator. I usually like to scrub my face twice a week but I feel these days that is not enough. So, I switched on to a more powerful exfoliant than my usual one. Today, I’ll be talking about my recent favourite Vanya Anaarshine Pomegranate Face Scrub. Price- ₹845 for […]

Hi Guys,We all know how critical the situation is around us and we all are in this together. To get Coronavirus under control entire India is under 21-day lockdown. Honestly, it is a bit difficult but going outside is even scarier as Covid19 is spreading like wildfire all around the globe. We are only allowed to go out to get essentials and that is exactly why we went out.I did stalk up on the household products a few days back and you can check my haul below for that.But after a week, we needed bread, some veggies and fruits. So I and my husband drove down to 37 Krishna Marsh which is a grocery store here in Delhi. Watch the video below for my experience:To enter the store, a mask is compulsory and they sanitize your hands before you enter. One 3-4 people can enter in one go and rest stand in line but at a distance.I entered without any expectations but the store was nicely stalked up. There were people constantly filling up the empty shelves.There was everything from veggies to maggi, pasta, sugar, rice, frozen snacks, chips and even toilet paper. The only few things which were slacking a bit were bread, buns and there was no paneer.Honestly, I am so happy and relieved. Guys are government is doing such a great job on keeping grocery stores stalked up. Can't thank the store workers and transporters enough for the services.Guys, don't panic, stay home, stay safe and pray for the world.

 Decorating your space with succulents, cactus and monstera is huge on-trend these days. You can find so many plant pages on Instagram that show what plants to get and how to take care of them but do you know plants help us to unwind and relax. Here is How plants help us relax?1. Eliminates harmful toxins and improves air quality-Plants are natural air purifiers and can help to remove toxins from the atmosphere.2. Plants Protect us from Diseases- Plants can take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce oxygen, improving the air quality. They also help to reduce airborne dust levels and increase air humidity. This can reduce coughing, itchy eyes and fatigue.   Fantastic air-filtering plants are Spider Plants, Dwarf Date Palm, and Chinese Evergreen.3. Reducing background noise- There’s nothing worse than trying to relax and constantly being bombarded by background noise. You can create big plants around the parameters of your state. This will create a stress-free environment and reduces the level of stress.4. Helping you sleep better- Sleep is very important for one's well-being. Certain plants have sleep-promoting qualities that can help with insomnia including eucalyptus, lavender, and rosemary.5. Providing Stress Relief Therapy- seeing your plant grow feels very rewarding and will boost your self-esteem.  Being surrounded by nature helps to make you mindful and much more patient. gardening has been found to ease stress and relieve feelings of anxiety.Now that you know how important plants are, stop what you are doing, get a watering can and a go out to spend some time with greens and yes, don't forget to leave your phone inside.

Hi Guys,The world is going through Pandemic and it would be a lie if I say that I am not tensed. But there is a difference between being tensed and creating panic. So first of all, stop worrying, keep calm and pray for yourself, people around you and the entire world. As we all know, it is not safe to go out, to the store every day, it is best to stalk up for a week to 10 days so that you can avoid going out.This does not mean that one buys the bulk of anything, just enough for you and your family for a few days.Here are my Groceries haul:Hope this was helpful. Do stalk up on your daily needs but not hoard in bulk. remember, everybody needs to feed their family.

Hi Guys,hu, it has been quite some time since I popped in here. Life has changed and so has my schedule. There is so much more than my day consists of now. Apart from my professional work, I now have to take care of the house, clean up and a lot more chores.So I thought to take you guys with me on my new journey and start this new series of videos called clean with me. So here is my first #cleanwithme video where I cleaned and re-organised my living room post 2-day shoot.After shoot, the house just gets trashed. I had my dining table full of a haul stuff, had cords and chargers lying around and a lot of shoes all over the place.While cleaning, I decided to water all my indoor and outdoor plants and also wiped down all the surfaces with my DIY cleaning liquid thing.Let me know your feedback on the video and don't forget to like, subscribe and comment.

Hey Guys,Wherever I go, I am always on the lookout for gorgeous baths! We make sure that the hotel we are staying at has a big bathtub.A hot bath relaxes mind body and soul. It is the easiest way to unwind. Here are the benefits of hot baths.1. Lowers blood sugar- A hot bath may be just what you need to lower your blood sugar and burn calories. In a recent study done by Loughborough University, scientists investigated the effect a hot bath has on blood sugar control (an important measure of metabolic fitness) and on energy expended (number of calories burned). They recruited 14 men to take part in the study, who each soaked in a hot bath for one hour. They then compared how many calories were burned in each session, as well as measured their blood sugar for 24 hours after each trial. Bathing resulted in about as many calories being burned as a half-hour walk (around 140 calories). The overall blood sugar response to both conditions was similar. Goodbye, gym.2. Fall asleep faster-Hot water relaxes the body and better prepares us for falling asleep. When a tense body enters a warm bath, the hot water increases the body temperature and relaxes the muscles. Relaxing the muscles not only soothes us physically but also mentally. That being said, only 20 minutes is needed and be careful not to fall asleep in the bath!3. Lowers blood pressure-Studies have shown that soaking in a hot bath can lower your blood pressure. This is a great system for those with heart conditions and even those who don’t. But first, consult your doctor if you do have a heart condition because a hot bath will also raise the rate of your heartbeat. If the doc says it’s OK, then it's a great way of bringing down your blood pressure.4. Relieves muscle tension-Hot showers can relieve tension and soothe stiff muscles. If you have a powerful showerhead, even better! Let the hot water work like a mini massage on your shoulders, neck, and back.5. Have cleaner, healthier skin. A good soak in hot water, be it a bath or shower, can open up the pores in our skin. And if the water is clean then it can wash some of the dirt and toxins from our skin. The result is fresher and cleaner skin.6. Moisturizes our skin. We may not like the wrinkled skin we get after a hot bath, but it actually has a good effect on it. The warm water leaves the skin moist for longer and prevents it from drying up and getting those little cracks that often appear when it's dry.7. Improves blood circulation. Dipping the body in hot water to the neck is kind of an exercise for your blood vessels. This is because water creates physical pressure on the body and so it increases the capacity of our heart. In other words, when we're inside the water, the heart works faster and stronger. Consider this more like a light exercise and just a few dips a week is an excellent work out for your heart.8. Helps relieve cold/flu symptoms. A hot shower also acts as a natural decongestant to relieve cold symptoms, since the hot steam moisturizes nasal passages. Taking a 10-15 minute hot-soak-break can also really help you feel better while your body is trying to get better.9. Reduces headaches. Most types of headaches are caused by the narrowing of blood vessels in the head. The positive effect of the hot water on our blood vessels can be used to alleviate the pressure on those blood vessels and cure our headache.10. Helps us feel better about ourselves- After a stressful day, take a nice warm shower and try to relax, as it's known that when we feel better physically, we get more confident in ourselves, the more convinced we are up to the challenges ahead. A hot bath is also a great way to reduce daily anxiety as well and make us feel good all around.As there are so many benefits of hot baths, take some time before bed, fill up the tub and relax in the hot bath for a few minutes. If not possible, jump into the hot shower to be able to take few benefits of hot baths.

Hey Guys,You saw me shopping at the Banjara Market, Gurgaon in the last video and today I am going to show you what all I got from there and also will be sharing my bargaining tips.So, check out the video below to what all I got and all the prices as well!Tips to shop at Banjara market:1) DO not go in the afternoon- I mean I am really good with all the summer heat generally but this market is sun facing and is not fun to sweat and inhale dust all that the same time. Also when you are street shopping, you want to be relaxed so try to avoid going in the afternoon, you might not enjoy the experience.2) Wear Sports shoes- As the market is located on along the road which is under construction, there are piles and piles of mud. To go to a shop, you might have to climb up and down these dunes which are difficult in slippers so try and wear your sports shoes. Also, you will be walking a lot so they will keep you comfy.3) Carry A Big Shopping- A lot of these sellers don't have any kind of bag to carry bought products. So make sure to carry a shopping bag so that you can fit at-least those little decoratives.4) Bargain A LOT-  The only way you can get a good deal is to go out their and BARGAIN. I follow the policy of reducing 60% of the price and then adding 10% back so as to get the product on best price.5) Always SHop from the Inner Lane- It's an L SHaped market. Always start with the inner lane. Sellers here are desperate to sell and often break the price as soon as you walk in.6) Always check the product closely- As it's a flea market,  a lot of products have small and big defects. So do check everything closely before paying.7)  Before purchasing, check a few more shops for the best deal as a lot of them have similar products- So no matter how much you are liking something, do not go over the budget to get something. A lot of the sellers have the exact same things, so go out there, explore and then make the purchase.So here are tip and tricks to shop at The Banjara Market. Do check out my last Blog post Banjara Market Gurgaon Tour: Furniture Market Gurgaon for more details.

It’s official, it’s cool to be casual! Long gone are the days where we have to worry about dressing up to go to the store for some milk… Unless we’re a celebrity, of course. Instead, we can totally rock the casual look whenever we want to. Yep, even if that does mean going casual to a party. However, you have to be able to master the casual style, so it doesn’t look like you’ve just rolled out of bed. Here are five tips to help you do just that.SourceThe perfect jeansThere’s no denying that jeans have become essential for everyone’s wardrobe nowadays. You can wear them to work, on a night out with the girls, during a trip to the store, or even on a first date. However, you need to make sure they’re well-fitted and suit your body shape. Go for a bootcut or flare jean if you’re an hourglass, wider legs for pear shapes, and boyfriend jeans for when you just want to feel comfy but look great. Skinny jeans are also a winner because they can so easily be dressed up with a pair of heels.SourceDressing up the topDepending on where you’re going, it can be a good idea to dress up the top half of your body if you’re wearing jeans. This doesn’t have to be a full-on sequined halterneck, but it is worth considering how to bring the whole look together. If you’re going to work, for example, then you may want a plain white tee and blazer combo. If you’re heading out with the girls, then perhaps that sequined halterneck would actually work for you! When you have a free few hours one day, mix and match some tops with your jeans to see what looks most casual chic.Throw on some sneakersAh, sneakers! They’re just the best thing to dress down a look if you don’t want to come across too OTT. You can literally wear them with everything, even that pretty summer dress that you only ever wore with heels before. Sneakers can transform an entire outfit into something more casual; they’re practically magic. Try a pair of white sneakers with a skater dress and denim shirt over the top for an awesome date night look. Or throw on some sneakers with your jeans and a blazer for a look that can go from the office to a shopping trip.SourceGrab a jacketIt’s winter, so it’s all about the jackets right now. Unfortunately, some of them can make you look swamped or ruin a casual look by being too formal. It’s all about striking a balance. Go for something that can be cinched in at the waist using a belt or tie, but can also be left open. Depending on your outfit, you can play around with your jacket to see what looks best that day. Stick to neutral colors such as grays, tans, and black.Add in some accessoriesTo truly master your casual style, you need to know what you’re doing with accessories! If you drape yourself in a ton of jewelry, then it might make the whole casual thing look a bit weird. However, don’t add any accessories and you really could look like you have just rolled out of bed. Statement earrings are the perfect way to finish off any casual look, but you could also play around with necklaces, rings, and a scarf or two.Trying to pull off a casual style without looking scruffy may take a few attempts at first, but you’ll soon be a pro. Do you have any other tips to add to the list? Let me know in the comments below.

When stay-at-home orders first entered into force, the initial days were spend in apprehending about the future and contemplating the next few phases of uncertainty. But let’s face the truth, this lockdown has provided us with the much-needed break from the daily humdrum (especially for those, like me, who are fastened to a demanding corporate job!). With the absence of domestic help, doing the household chores has become inevitable. While some people are finding this never-ending lockdown exhausting, but for others, stay-at-home has certainly turned them to a trendsetter!Ok. So, you’ve cleaned all your closets, mastered the art of making Dalgona coffee and banana bread, tried the various TikTok workout and dance challenges and there’s nothing more to do. What’s next? Wear a pillow as a dress! The Pillow Challenge is the new fashion trend that is creating waves on social media. The question is, should you choose to accept it? Well, you should because thousands of people are trying this out and trust me, this is way more fun! But first, let’s explore what is this latest fashion trend all about and how it came into play. Ready? Let’s dive in! The Pillow Challenge – What is It?Are you poor in gardening, singing or dancing? Is cooking or other domestic skills not your cup of tea? Don’t worry! You’ve got something new to try your hands at! It is called the #PillowChallenge where you don’t need to knead, cook or sew. Just strip yourself naked, wear a pillow as a dress, accessorize (if you want) and look hot.  A ‘challenge’ that has no rhyme or reason, it is just pure fun that is worth a try when you are stuck at home. This easiest yet unique quarantine fashion trend was first started by @stylebynelli and @myforteisfashion in April on Instagram and since then, there has been no looking back! It is now popular on the internet under the hashtags #pillowchallenge, #pillowdresschallenge and so on. Fashion has been a domain of experimentation for many years but till date, #pillow challenge has been an unparalleled one. So, how do you exactly do this challenge? All you need to do is take up your favorite big pillow, clinch it around your waist with the most stylish belt that you have. It was only a matter of a few days before this trend became viral. And would you believe it? Both the hashtags have earned over 343k posts so far. From Halle Berry to Anne Hathaway, many Hollywood celebrities have nailed the look by trading their clothes. About the Trendsetters of This ChallengeAs mentioned earlier, @stylebynelli and @myforteisfashion hit the popularity button from the moment they started the trend of turning a pillow as a dress. Both of them had posted pictures of themselves wearing pastel blue and pink pillows respectively. They had secured the pillows with a fashionable belt and adorned their look further. Then they encouraged their friends and followers to try the challenge and post a picture of themselves. But when it comes to a fashion trend, there is always a scope for innovation. Many international fashion influencers, as well as Indian celebrities, have gone a step ahead in recreating a sassy look by using luxury brands. National Popularity of #PillowChallengeTill now, many of us were thinking that staying at home is so boring until recently some of the phenomenal trends came into light, #pillowchallenge for instance. But are you thinking that the ‘pillow challenge’ is a fad meant for the international celebs or social media family only? You’re quite mistaken there! Our desi buffs have also joined the quirky fashion bandwagon and are loving the idea of posing with a pillow on their bare body. So, who are our favorite Indian celebs who have put on the new lockdown outfit?•Payal Rajput – The Tamil actress took up the pillow challenge, wearing a yellow pillow dress and looked stunning. •Neha Kakkar – The popular singer of many Bollywood movies is also well-known for trying out the latest fashion trends. On TikTok, she posted a video wearing not one but a total of 3 pillow dresses - white, green, and floral printed. Oh! And in one of her pillow dress looks, she sports a bit of Indianness too!•Tamannah Bhatia – The actress shared a picture wearing a white pillow dress and accessorized it with a Gucci belt. “I’m off to club bed featuring DJ pillow and MC blanket!” - her Instagram page said.My Take on the ChallengeBeing in lockdown for more than two months, I wad completely bored too. Besides doing the regular Work from Home and household chores, deep down in my heart, I was thinking of trying something new (fashion-wise, of course!). And then, there was this ‘pillow challenge’, which I wanted to give it a shot but was reluctant at the same time. Finally, one weekend, I decided to try the trend. At first, I wasn’t sure how I would look wearing a pillow and whether I’ll be laughed at by my friends. Nevertheless, I put aside all my assumptions and strapped my favorite pink floral pillow around my waist with a black belt. I accessorized my look by wearing heels, a pair of shades, and a dash of my best-loved Maybelline hot pink lipstick. Till now, everything was fine. The real struggle came when I had to click a picture. To do this, I had set up my phone on a shelf in my room and turned on the 15-second timer. Altogether, it took me around 20 minutes and 10 photos before I was finally satisfied with a decent pillow dress image. I also attempted to click a few pictures with other accessories like a book and a wine glass but well, my effort was wasted because pictures without these were far better!ConclusionWho said lockdown is meant for doing Work from Home and monotonous domestic chores? This is the time to unleash your spirit of creativity and explore the unexplored. Staying at home is a challenge not until you are aware of the various social media challenges and sport the trend in your own way.

As a parent, you might not think much about the décor of the children’s room but just remember the time you were a child. The room is an entire cosmos for a kid, so everything from the color of the walls to the furniture needs to stimulate the child’s creative side. If you design the nursery with the utmost care, then you should make the effort to beautify the children’s room as they grow up. If you apply the following 7 interior design tips, you will create an amazing bedroom for your kids that they’ll spend hours playing in.Hang a drawing board on the wall

Every teacher will tell you that children are amazed by blackboards. It is as if some magic power draws them toward the board as children adore picking up a piece of chalk or a marker to draw on it.

You can make good use of this drive-in children by hanging up their very own drawing board on one of the walls in the bedroom.

Not only will the kids get a canvas to express their artistic side but you will effectively prevent them from drawing on other walls in the house, which is something they also enjoy a lot.

Apart from the drawing board, you can get at any office supplies store, the walls should be adorned with colorful decals. Once upon a time, these decals featured Mickey Mouse or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while today their heroes are Frozen characters or the Avengers.

Luckily, decals can be designed online and shipped to your home address so you can surprise your children with their favorite superheroes. These decals can cover an entire wall or they can be small in size but span all fours wall, such as a gulp of swallows “flying” across the entire room.

When it comes to the walls, their color is the last order of business you need to take care of. Firstly, the color of the walls in the children’s bedroom should differ from the rest of the house or apartment. The hues have to be light: blue, green, orange, yellow, etc. Furthermore, the color of the ceiling should be dark and differ from the rest of the room to create a contrast.

Moving on from the walls, the color of the furniture should also be cheerful, sort to say. Order beds, tables, and cupboards that are colorful so the effect of the walls is amplified. Ideally, you can ask the child what their favorite color is and create a themed room.

The focal point of the bedroom is the bed, of course. That’s why you should invest extra effort (and money) to make the bed as colorful and comfortable as possible. Like with wall decals, it is possible to order kids blankets online, thus ensuring you get the linen sheets your child will like. You might be the one paying for the bedroom’s overhaul but children are the end-user that just like the product, to put it in economic terms. Whatever color pattern you decide on, make sure the blankets, sheets, and the pillow are super soft.

Parents are constantly telling off children for toys that are left on the floor of the bedroom once playtime is over. However, it might not be entirely your child’s fault; especially you haven’t provided them with a toy box.

This box doesn’t have to be a dull-looking crate, as you can decorate it together with your kid. This will be a great bonding activity and the child will actually want to lift the lid of the box to put the toys away. 

Children are curious by nature and you should do your best to stimulate this love for knowledge. Whether they enjoy collecting toys, napkins, or drawings, you should create a separate corner in the room where their collectibles would be displayed.

If your child likes to paint, then this corner would have cork-board for hanging their artwork. If they are into toys or magazines, then build a special shelf for storing and displaying such collectibles.

We all like to record how much our kids have grown during the past months or year but growth charts are an old-fashioned way of doing this. A more modern way to do this and have fun in the process is to use water-based paint to mark their height on the wall.

What is more, you can use this paint to record the shape and size of their hands and feet. Because of the paint’s non-toxic properties, it will be easy to remove later on.

Designing and decorating a children’s bedroom is no easy task, as interior designers specialize in children’s rooms. However, using the 7 interior design tips listed above, you have the power to overturn the décor of your child’s bedroom. However, your kid(s) will have the final say since it is their universe, i.e. room.

Renovating your bathroom is one of the best gifts you can give to yourself. You’ll finally have space in your home where you can be completely yourself, without worrying about keeping up appearances or looking nice. When you step into your new bathroom, you should feel like you’re stepping over the threshold of Zen and tranquility. You will finally be able to forget about the world and focus on making yourself feel good. This is your chance to get the most out of your bathroom and these ideas will help show you just how amazing your life can be if you take them into account when remodeling.1. Think about storage spaceA cluttered bathroom is not a bathroom you can relax in. Before you start renovating, you should take a good look at your bathroom and all of the little things in it. The shampoo bottles, the soaps, the detergent, the towels, the cleaning supplies, and everything in between should be examined and reuated. Get rid of the things you don’t need and divide the ones you do need into categories.This will help you greatly in your renovation process because you’ll know exactly what kind of storage space you need. With adequate storage space, you’ll never have to worry about the bathroom feeling cluttered again. That helps a lot with feeling relaxed, as you don’t have to put up with any messes every time you enter the room.Another benefit of adequate storage space is that it makes your bathroom more slick and elegant. If you match the storage to the color of the room, you’ll also match the feel and ambience the color created in the first place.One thing to pay attention to in this scenario is not to have too much storage occupying the room. This is especially true for smaller bathrooms. If you overdo it and add cabinets and counters everywhere, you’ll just end up blocking your bathroom in. The ideal solution is to choose one piece of furniture with a lot of shelves or drawers.Those who want only the design of their bathroom to greet them when they enter it, without any other visible details, should choose closed storage furniture. On the other hand, those who like seeing something other than the bathroom furniture can go for open storage solutions. In each case, you’ll be creating an environment that suits your needs and preferences best, thus ensuring you can easily relax in your new oasis.2. Choose a glass showerThere’s nothing fancier and more relaxing than a glass shower. You won’t have to deal with annoying curtains or shower doors any longer. We all know these things prevent us from relaxing fully and enjoying our shower completely. You should get rid of your current shower completely and build one in its place.Replace the tiles and make sure they’re high-quality so you can clean them easily and so you don’t slip on them. The only thing left to do is to dd the glass. Make sure the area is wide so you have more room in the shower and feel more comfortable when you’re bathing.You can add a door, but if you want to be more modern and give yourself complete freedom, just leave space between two pieces of glass. A glass shower isn’t complete without a rain shower head or an updated shower head that has more than one function. You’ll bring your showers to levels of relaxation you didn’t even know were possible.On top of all of this, glass showers are accessible to everyone. If you have any older members of the family or anyone with any kind of disabilities, you’ll be giving them a relaxation oasis as well as yourself if you choose to install a glass shower. Plus, you’ll be able to enjoy your showers on the same level of amazing regardless of how old you get.3. Go for natural lightBeing under artificial lights all the time can be rather damaging for your mental and physical health. Most offices today rely on artificial lighting to get their employees through the day, leaving them feeling dazed, disoriented, and exhausted at the end of the workday. Things just get worse if you’re stuck at home without natural lighting. In the long run, this can result in eye problems and can make you feel way more tired and less focused than needed.That’s why this renovation job should include some new windows, too. You should add big windows to the room to promote good health and tranquility. Choose a sunny side and let the light shine through. This will give you more energy and improve the cognitive function of your brain. Every time you go in the bathroom, you’ll come out a brand-new person- completely relaxed and full of energy.Another benefit of this is that you’ll be giving yourself a nice view of the outside. This is especially true for those who have a backyard. The view of nature will work together with the natural light to relax you further, thus truly turning your bathroom into a Zen oasis.Also Read: How To Create A Spa-Like Experience At Home (DIY Tips)4. Change up the tilesThe tiles you surround yourself with can make or break your bathroom experience. It’s important to surround yourself with natural and soft colors so as to inspire relaxation. Remember, only the best bathroom supplies come into play. There’s no room for anything less than perfect when you’re creating your oasis.Go for modern white and black patterns, as you’ll get a timeless design that will last forever while still giving yourself an environment you can thrive in. The tiles will provide a soothing surface for your eyes to rest on while you enjoy your bubble bath and sink into relaxation further.Don’t think that classic tiles or more neutral colors exclude creativity, though. If you want the best of both worlds, you can always choose two neutral colors or different shades of the same one and create a masterpiece from your bathroom walls. This works even better if you’ve got a small bathroom because your walls double as your decoration so you don’t have to waste room on any other decor.Also Read: 5 Décor Pieces For Your Minimal Home5. Add a sunken tubWhile you’re already renovating, why not splurge on a sunken tub? You haven’t lived until you’ve had a nice bubble bath in a tub that’s already in the ground. You don’t have to worry about spilling anything, you have enough room to a glass of wine and whatever else you might need right next to the tub.On top of that, this is a statement piece like no other. Sunken tubs are especially suitable for big bathrooms as they help you fill out the room and make it look fantastic. There’s nothing more impressive than a sunken tub right in the middle of a big bathroom that simply invites you to enjoy it fully.This is one of the best ways to promote tranquillity and relax before you even step into the tub and begin your relaxation journey.ConclusionAs you can see, your bathroom can be everything you ever wanted it to be if you just take a chance on self-care and add Zen to your interior design. We’re confident that you’ll finally get to put those long workdays behind and that you’ll lead a much happier life after the renovation. Your bathroom will give you the emotional and psychological awakening you didn’t even know you needed, and all because of the amazing relaxing properties you install in it.You May Also Like: 7 Fun Travel Inspired Home Decor Ideas

The Internet is truly an amazing gift to us all, especially to people who don’t like being tied down to one place for too long. This amazing invention allows us to make the entire world our home and work from even the most remote location. But, being a digital nomad isn’t exactly easy. You need to have knowledge on how to successfully pull it off, so read and learn.Choose the right destination for youTake into consideration that becoming a digital nomad will affect every part of your life: your work, your lifestyle and your daily habits. While some people love the freedom and excitement this part of nomadic life offers, for others, this is exactly the thing that can ruin their entire experience. So, when choosing where to move, make sure your destination has all the necessary infrastructure to support your lifestyle. Don’t forget about safety either. Check crime rates in the country, since coming across the problems of that sort can cause you a lot of stress and uncertainty.Sort all the documentationPreparing for your work abroad requires a lot of paperwork. There are visas to sort, work permits to acquire and all sorts of different documents to have by your side. In order to avoid various issues that will prevent you from working, you need to comply with the laws, so do your homework when it comes to acquiring paperwork. Every country has different laws concerning taxes and your status as a worker, so make sure everything is approved before you embark.Take out travel insuranceMany people tend to neglect this part of the equation, but travel insurance could be your key to success and happiness. If you fall ill and require medical help, having travel insurance to help with expenses can reduce a lot of stress. Luckily, finding comprehensive medical insurance for travelers isn’t such a complicated thing.Nomad life and familyNomadic life offers a lot of freedom and excitement, but when you have kids to take care of, things can get complicated and demanding. If your kids are school-aged, you will need to find a good international school that accepts expats—your child’s education can never suffer because of your lifestyle. However, many of these educational institutions for expat children require fluency in English, so you need to ensure your kid has all the necessary skills in order to succeed and keep up with their classmates.It’s smart to sign them up for an English course that teaches proper grammar and language skills. When they are ready, they can take a one-on-one Trinity exam that will assess their English skills and provide them with a formal certificate that will make enrolling into international schools much easier. Studying away from home will provide your kids with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to broaden their horizons, gain valuable experiences and learn many lessons.Learn about the local cultureEvery destination is unique, so in order to avoid any unpleasantness, make sure to study the local culture in advance. While you might not want to do any harm to others intentionally, ignorance can put you in many uncomfortable situations with locals. So, search the internet for information about the region and learn as much as you can about its customs and people.Find a way to stay connectedYour work probably heavily relies on the internet connection, so ensure your access to the interweb is practical and your connection stable and fast. Access to the internet will also allow you to stay in touch with people at home, which is very important if you’re a solo digital nomad.Expect some lonelinessSure, you will meet a lot of amazing people thanks to your new way of life, but frequent moving around will prevent you from making any strong connections with others. You can expect to often find yourself in the middle of an unfamiliar city without a soul to hang out with. This is a scenario you should be ready to face.

Although self-care plays a crucial part in people’s overall health and wellbeing, it often gets neglected. It’s easy for life to get in the way of your personal time but it’s your job to make sure you put aside time for self-care. Believe it or not, you don’t always have to spend a large amount of money when you decide to pamper yourself.Going to the spa can cost you anywhere from a hundred dollars or more. Why do that when creating the spa experience inside your own home can be just as fun as going and paying for the real thing. With some small additions, your ordinary household items can turn into luxurious spa essentials.Add Some Bath SaltsTaking a warm bath can soothe the aches and pains you’ve accumulated throughout the day. Soaking in your tub gives you some uninterrupted time to reflect on the things happening in your life. Doing something as simple as adding bath salts to your water can turn an average bath into a lavish one. Specific types of salt, like Epsom, do more than simply make your bath smell delightful. They have positive effects on your health as well and can soothe muscle aches, promote better sleep, and relieve skin inflammation.Turn on Soothing MusicWhen practicing self-care, don’t forget to try things that will help you mentally and psychologically. Certain genres of music, like classical, can have therapeutic effects on a person's mind and body. It can help you let go of some of the tension and anxiety you may be feeling at the moment. In addition to relieving stress, music can lower your heart rate and blood pressure.Although classical music is one of the most well-known genres for relaxation, you are not limited to only listening to that style of music. Just putting on some of your favorite songs can help to improve your entire mood and distract you from stress in your daily life. You can get access to almost any song by using a free music streaming app to listen to some of your favorite songs.Light a Few CandlesA cozy and intimate ambiance plays a vital role in having the perfect at-home spa day. Low lighting and warmth will help to ease your mind after a long day. Aromatherapy candles are specifically made to help people relax and feel calm. They are often made with essential oils like lavender and lemon, which produce soothing scents to aid your wind-down process.Try placing a few candles around your bathroom and turn the lights off for a spa atmosphere. Finding the right amount of candles for a room may take a few tries though. You want to light just enough candles for the room to be dim, but not so dim that you can’t see. No one wants to clean up spills and messes while they're supposed to be relaxing!Make A Face MaskWhat’s a spa day without a face mask? Getting a facial has to be one of the most relaxing parts of the spa experience. However, spending sixty dollars or more to get your face treated isn’t always the most budget-friendly. If you want to avoid spending a lot of money, there are many masks that you can make right out of ordinary household products.Foods like bananas, avocados, and honey are the best for projects like this. Also, don’t be afraid to experiment because you never know what might you might discover. As with most products going on your face, be cautious and apply a small amount to your hand or forearm first. That way you can gauge if it’s too harsh for your skin. If the product irritates your forearm then you most likely shouldn’t put it on your face.Also Read: Skincare Products That Won’t Damage The SkinTransform Your BedHaving a full spa experience also means having the perfect spot to lay down and relax. sit down. You don’t want to ruin the efforts you put into having a relaxing and stress-free day, so make sure to finish off your spa experience right. As you wait for your face mask to dry, or as you prepare for bed, ensure you have the proper sleeping or seating arrangements. Look for pieces that are durable but also offer comfort. To make your bed feel comfier, switch out your everyday sheets for some soft fuzzy blankets to cuddle up in and get the perfect night’s rest.Also Read: Health Benefits of SleepYou Deserve ItDon’t neglect your self-care anymore. It’s not selfish to set aside some personal time to take care of yourself. Even doing something as simple as taking 5 minutes during the day to try some deep breathing techniques can help your mental and physical wellbeing. If you need to dedicate a whole day to self-care, then do so. Taking a couple of hours to put together an at-home spa day may not seem necessary at first, but your body and brain will thank you for it later.

Indian clothing brands are still a growing industry. The biggest flaw they have is that they are based on commercialization. They produce fashion lines that are easy to make and acceptable by a majority. What they lack is personalization. They may think that they are reaching out to the majority, but that is, there are no other options available. There are people in the world of all sizes and shapes, and they deserve clothing that fits them and flatters their body. 

Though this is changing in the women’s clothing industry, plus size men’s clothing in India still needs a wave of change. 

Plus-size men don’t just include overweight men, as this is the statement that clothing brands make for not making plus-size clothing available is that they don’t want to promote an unhealthy lifestyle. Plus-size men include large men, men with some serious muscles, tall men, etc. These people need clothes that will make them look as they wish to, chic or well-groomed. 

Most plus-size men have no other option if they want their clothes to fit them just right other than hiring a tailor to stitch clothes for them, especially. This costs them more than if these clothes were bought ready-made from the store. 

Tending to this need, Big Banana Online has made a step towards the revolution to make big men’s clothing in India. With their tagline “Big is Awesome,” we try to provide plus size men with their fashion needs. We endeavor to change the trend that plus-size men don’t care about their style and fashion.

We live in a free world where everyone has a right and a wish to express themselves with the help of their clothes. Though we have bound us with boundaries of a perfect size that everyone should have. But the acceptance of diversity is what makes us a new world—the variety of different views, of different shapes and sizes, of different colors. We need to accept it and make it mainstream.

Zero figure, chiseled abs, and pectorals, glistening muscles are all the hype among men these days. Media doesn’t help either, with the publicity revolving around the ideal body shapes and figures. There’s an increasing craze to ape the silver screen star diets and workout regimens to attain the much-loved shapes. But is it really required? Why should our body determine our worthiness and desirability? The question remains very much answered, especially for Indian plus sized men. It’s rare to find fitting clothing in stores. And even if you chance upon one accidentally, you probably won’t like the generic boring style. But who is to say that fashion belongs to the slim? Plus size men's clothing are on the rise to curb these negative connotations surrounding body shapes.

Once upon a time, if you were a plus size man, you had to automatically knock on a tailor’s door. Right size, right fit, right style…costly, time-consuming. Most men simply settled for the sporadic hideous styles of apparel. Well, say goodbye to those days. Plus size men clothing India is no longer a dream. With the emergence of online shops, find plus size clothing online for men with relative ease. These plus size men's clothing online India stores stock from XXXL to 6Xl, even 7XL garments.

As a society, we’re starting to be more and more critical of our notions about the body and the unrealistic standards we uphold each other too, much to the detriment of the individual’s esteem. This means that we’re attempting to be more inclusive of people who are bigger than average. However, the debate is predominantly centered around the bodies of women as the voices in this particular sphere are usually those of women. There’s barely any murmur or thought put into the body image of men. 

In the meantime, media doesn’t have any qualms to push out images that parlay an unrealistic image of the male body, which further perpetuates all sorts of insecurity and unease amongst men who cannot adhere to that particular standard. When clothing brands put out advertisements with hunky models, they’re barely trying to cater to the actual demographic that’ll purchase those clothes. They realize that a more effective way to advertise is to capitalize upon people’s insecurities. As a result, plus size or all large size clothing India for all its obvious merits is seen as something of a crutch for plus size people. People will still continue to ask them to lose weight as if everyone can help how their body functions in the wake of genetic disposition. All large size clothing for men often gets overlooked or essentially isn’t talked about enough due to which there aren’t a lot of stores that stock up on them. Especially in the Indian context, stores would most likely not have sizes or even if they do, they’d have plus size clothing that wouldn’t really be appealing in any shape or form reserved for the plus size folks. Even if one tries to look for plus size clothing for men online, there are very few avenues that really cater to this niche and do so in a convincing manner. bigbanana’s here in this hour of need to address the men’s plus size clothing epidemic in India! bigbanana has a range of independent designers that specifically curate with plus size fashion in mind, not to mention how actively they interact with the community in a bid to understand the needs and fashion aspirations of the plus size community.  bigbanana’s impressive catalogue of wonderful plus size clothing for men is something to behold and could make anyone the cause of envy amongst their friend’s circle. The fact that you can get your fix of bigbanana’s plus size clothing at your doorstep makes it even better.

If you notice these days, not only are adults super stylish, but our young ones are even more stylish. Now there is always a debate going on how much is too much and isn't it too soon to be so particular about their dressing? But I clearly think that as long as it is not over-priced and is pocket-friendly, I think it's all good. Looking dressed to the nine on a budget has always been my policy 90% of the time, and that is what I think matters as far as dressing up Aryaa goes as well. Looking good is important and so we do best what is in our capacity. Sometimes for special occasions it might be an exceptional case, but as long as you know that you are going to wear whatever you are buying more than once and can justify it to yourself, then go right ahead and make your kid wear it. The world will anyway have an opinion to give. So if you ask me - "Too Stylish, Too Soon?", I would say - "Nope! I like my child looking good and she loves to dress up too, and I am not breaking my bank doing it!" 😊This outfit of Aryaa's including the sunglasses and shoes, is for under INR 1500 and still is super cute and stylish. Trust me to make our children look trendy we don't need to spend a bomb. In fact I know that when Aryaa starts making her own decisions, she will be as budget savvy as her mom and will do complete justice to any look be it for any price. After all, it's about making wise choices and making them work out well for you.This outfit is currently one of Aryaa's favourites and I picked up everything for her from Hopscotch. She was practically wearing this once a week till lockdown struck us. I love the classic combination of blue and white. What I love even more is the beautiful design of the top and the floral and polka dot cold shoulder design. Aryaa's favourite item from this look are her sunglasses, which she think she looks super cool in. But what you can see at the end of it all is how much she loves the outfit, which is depicted by how joyfully and comfortably she has posed for it in all the pictures that were taken. Now if you achieve your child's happiness without breaking the bank, does anything else matter? 😊If you like what you see on Ri(t)ch Styles and want to stay updated regularly, follow Ri(t)ch Styles on    You can also email me on ritchstyles@gmail.com

The last couple of months in lockdown have been a total test of parenting for me. While it has been super tough, with a few ups and downs especially since there are no maids to help, I definitely would say that I haven't fared as badly as I thought I would in a situation as distressing as this. I know I have done and said some crazy things during this time, and so today in this post I’ve put together some of my favorite funny mom quotes that I have come across and completely related to, but in good humour. I am sure most of you are also going to relate to each one of these, and so I had to share them with you for you to have a good laugh too. 😊OMG! Aryaa talks and how much! And even if I tell her to keep quiet for a bit, do you think she listens?? 🤦Now this is the perfect one in continuation with the previous one. But in general also, nothing that I say seems to go into Aryaa's ears!And controlling my temper and sometimes not being able to control it at all has been my greatest issue during the lockdown!Like what is with us buying our kids chocolate and they not sharing even one with us?! I mean especially my favourite M&Ms, like just one teeny tiny one??And how many times hasn't this happened? In fact, my shower timings have changed to evenings so that Prateek can watch Aryaa when I shower for this not to happen to me.An just in case I am able to shower peacefully, then this has to surely happen!Well we all have had this evil thought, haven't we?During any and every call!True that! Every mom's story!Like why does this happen every single time???Oh ya! Tell me about this! 🤦Why hadn't someone told me this? I thought labour was the toughest thing I would face as a mother!Well we have gone to hell and been back a zillion times during the lockdown!Don't you absolutely agree??But then, every time we think we are done and can't live with our kids anymore, we also realize that we can't live without them at all! 👩‍👧I hope these added some laughter to your day! After all right now especially we cannot be taking everything so seriously, and so laughing at our #momlife is one good way to not take yourself seriously all the time. 😊 Do you have any funny mom quotes to share with me?Images Courtesy - https://in.pinterest.com/ritcha/mommy-humour/This brings us to the 19th post of my May 2020 Blogging Challenge.

 I love make-up and while I have loads of different products in my vanity, there are 5 products that are total essentials for me. With these 5 I can also whip up a basic look in a jiffy, and so today in this blog post, I am sharing with you the 5 make-up products that I can't do without!1. ConcealerA concealer is a saviour. No other make-up products can mask your blemishes, dark circles, age spots or any other imperfections on your skin better than a concealer. In fact if you are that kind of a woman who is always on the go and has no time for all the steps of make-up especially the base, then the concealer is also a product that you should swear by! When you are running late or just feeling too lazy to apply your base properly or don't like applying layers of the base, just dab on a little concealer, preferably with a brush, under your eyes, on the corners of your mouth, and on the sides of your nose, and you are good to go. I swear by the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer because its a super concentrated formula (MAGIC formula) where the goji berry and haloxyl help to erase the appearance of dark circles and fine lines, while visibly reducing the appearance of puffiness around the eyes.2. Pressed PowderA pressed powder is perfect as a light cover-up while setting the base and also as a finishing powder. Since I have dry skin, it requires a light pressed powder. The MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder fits my requirement as it is really light, sheer, silky, not at all chalky(micro-fine) and has the ability to last on the skin for over 6 hours of use, keeping the skin looking fresh and flawless. For a person like me, who mostly has no time for touch-ups and likes the natural look, there couldn't be a better powder to carry in my make-up pouch. Also it sets my foundation and concealer perfectly without an over done look and that I what I love about it. I have been using it for over 10 years now.3. BlushBlushes are perfect to add colour to the face and nice flush to the cheeks. A touch of pink/rose/peach blush can absolutely brighten up your make-up. They also do a good job of making patchy dry skin look healthier. I use blushes from multiple brands like MAC, Lakmé, Oriflame, Estee Lauder and Nudestix. 4. Gel Eyeliner/KajalAs I wear contact lenses, I need waterproof options as far as eyeliner/kajal is concerned and so I prefer using waterproof gel eyeliner on my lids and lower lash line so that it doesn’t smudge or smear. A gel eyeliner is super easy to apply and also gives a natural and soft look. It has the absolutely perfect consistency for making a winged eyeliner as well. I use the Maybelline one in black and the L'Oréal one in dark blue.5. Hydrating LipstickI love subtle pink lipsticks for the natural look, and for daily wear I like to use the hydrating ones. The Clinique Lip Colour + Primer is my absolute favourite and I never run out of stock of these. Not only does it have amazing colour pay off but it also has a smoothing primer which keeps your lips moisturized all the time. You can say bye bye to chapped lips while sporting some pretty colours.With these 5 make-up essentials of mine, I am totally sorted, and they are good enough to put on a basic make-up look to step out for work, coffee or errands. During the lockdown, they do complete justice to the minimal make-up that I need to do for zoom calls, shoots or my lives. What are your make-up essentials that you totally can't do without?This marks the 17th post of my May 2020 Blogging Challenge, which also means that in the history of my blog, this is the highest numbers of blog posts done in a single month. Wow! New achievements always feel great, don't they? It's now your turn to submit your blog post links for 17th May 2020.

Until a year ago, I was always on the fence about crop tops. I adored the trend but wasn't ready to embrace it because I always thought it's not for me. But how wrong was I! I was aware of all the styles in the market, the ways to wear them, and I knew all the styling tips too as far as a crop top was concerned, but never applied any of them for myself, till one day, a realization dawned upon me. 😀After Aryaa’s birth, I was never confident that I could carry off a crop top, thanks to all the inches, flab and stretch marks that I had added to my mid section. Before Aryaa I had a flat tummy, and so the change made me uncomfortable about wearing a lot of stuff that I didn't shy from wearing earlier on. At the same time, the funniest thing was that I never felt the lack of confidence when I wore a saree and my mid section showed. But it bothered me a lot when I wore western clothes. Funny na? However the day this realization dawned on me, suddenly my fear of crop tops just reduced. Of course a slimmer mid section with lighter stretch marks, along with an elevated level of comfort with my body despite increased size over time, now makes me a lot more comfortable to carry crop tops off. Am I the only one here or have any of you felt anything similar?This was the first outfit I put together after I shopped for a few crop tops. This knot crop top was my absolute favourite buy, and so I had to wear it before any of the others. The red striped asymmetrical skirt that you see in this blog post, was also one of my favourite buys last year and I am glad I waited for the right top to come along before I finally wore it. I truly think the whole combination looked super cute and chic!I take care of a few things when I style my crop tops:I always wear bottoms that are high waisted, be it skirts, jeans, trousers, or palazzos. This way either your midriff doesn't get bared at all, or even if it does then it's the slimmest portion that will show.I always wear heels because the it makes the torso look even longer and thus balances out the outfit along with making me look taller.By the way, some people think that crop tops should only be worn by really young people. But according to me, there is no age limit to wearing a crop top and if you are comfortable wearing it, then you should! Right now they also make for the perfect summer companions over your shorts and joggers especially while you chill at home during the lockdown. 😊Outfit DetailsKnot Crop Top - Forever 21Red Striped Skirt - AjioHeels - LifestyleHandbag - Coach Bracelet - New York & Company Earrings - H&MWith this blog post we come to the 15th post of my May 2020 Blogging Challenge.

So today's blog post is all about a fun dish which I had come up with last year for Aryaa's school tiffin time. Aryaa loves peanut butter and strawberry jelly candy, and so using those along with cookies, I created the Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly Cookie Sandwich for her. Now during the lockdown too I have to keep making dishes that she likes especially for snack time, and I involve her in no fire cooking as well, so this is a quick and fun one which she loves to make and then eat too.Here is the Recipe for you!Ingredients:1 packet digestive cookies1/2 cup creamy peanut butter20 pieces Alpenliebe Juzt Jelly Strawberry candy or any other Strawberry Jelly that you have at home or is easily available at the storeMethod:1. In a bowl mix the peanut butter and jelly candy. Make sure the jellies get coated well with peanut butter.2. Take one cookie and spread the peanut butter and jelly mixture on it. Then sandwich with another cookie. Enjoy!Simple isn't it? Do try it out, I am sure your kids will love it! Honestly, I love it too! In case your child doesn't like peanut butter or is allergic to peanuts, then you can substitute the peanut butter with Nutella for a chocolaty version of the same. Once school re-opens, both these variations will make for great tiffin treats too. 😊This brings us to the 13th post of my May 2020 Blogging Challenge. Feels great getting closer to the goal without missing out on any posts. Now it's your turn to submit your blog post links for 13th May 2020.

After a white dress, I think nothing screams summer more than a pretty blue dress. I chanced upon a beautiful one which you see above during one of my sourcing sprees, and while it didn't fit my sourcing requirement then, it fit the bill for a beautiful blue summer dress that I always wanted to own and so I bought it that very instant. What made the buy even better was that it's made from pure cotton which makes it even more apt, cool and comfortable to wear for the hot hot weather that we face in the summers. The dress get its blue hue from pretty blue pinstripes that it's adorned with, and the tiered panelled design creates a loose, flowy outline which gives the dress a very charming and romantic appeal. It also has cute tasseled ties at the back. I have 5 ways to wear the dress. Sometimes just as it is, and sometimes I pair the dress witha simple white teea puffed sleeves white shirta simple white shirta short bell sleeves eyelet fabric (hakoba) white topAs far as footwear is concerned, I teamed it with a pair of blush pink wedge heels, but you can also pair with white strappy heels if you have an occasion to attenda pair of trainers for running errandsstrappy sandals for a date night or a cup of coffee with your girlsYou can add on simple accessories like a nice long necklace, or a belt on your upper waist, or a hat like I have.I keep so many options for myself coz when summer comes, and I find something comfy, then I tend to wear it again and again, and so the styling options have to be multiple. If I had the freedom right now to step out, you would be seeing me hitting the streets in all these combinations, but for now let's say it's serving me well as I stay stylish inside the house. 😊Outfit DetailsDress - Marks & SpencerHat - GlobusHeels - LifestyleBracelet - New York & CompanyWith this blog post we come to the 11th post of my May 2020 Blogging Challenge.

Empowering our little girls is so important in today’s world - it’s a commitment that you have to make to yourself to make sure that you help them to inculcate a sense of belonging in this world. Our generation is definitely empowering our little girls in unconventional ways. Actually most of our moms (and dads) were already on this path, which is why we follow what they did and more, for the next generation. This is what I follow with Aryaa (which Prateek takes an active role in as well) and thus help her to1. Believe in herself2. Love herself3. Be confident to achieve what she chooses to4. Stand up for what she logically believes in5. Chase her dreams and then live them6. Develop her own voice7. Be empathetic8. Trust her gut9. Learn to say no10. Believe in the goodness of her heart and love freely11. Take her own decisions (this is not easy at all for moms but must be done)12. Build her communication skills13. Appreciate the women around her14. Love her body at any size15. Believe that everyone is equal16. Respect herselfA mommy daughter relationship is not always harmonious when you are doing this. It needs a lot of patience at your end and the relationship needs to be carefully nurtured. Mutual respect is very important while doing this and you too need to use the right and positive statements when you are trying to inculcate these qualities. Our daughters are beautiful, strong, smart, which we need to constantly tell them, but we also need to let them fail, and be right there to help them get up again. Also as a woman, while showing Aryaa that she is my priority, I also make sure to make time for myself and other important things in my life. I believe it shows her that self-respect starts with self-care that further leads to confidence which impacts all facets of our lives.To create ladies of the future with strong characters and who create their own lives their way, empowering them from a young age is definitely the way! And remember, having daughters is the most beautiful combination of gifts and responsibilities, which is exactly what we love. Which is why, no day goes by without me telling Aryaa that - Aryaa Mumma loves you!So, what are your thoughts on this? How are you empowering your little girls? This is my seventh post of my May 2020 Blogging Challenge. Now it's your turn to submit your blog post links for 7th May 2020.

I am back with my second Summer Perfect Juice recipe. Today I am sharing a juice recipe called Watermelon Mojito (non alcoholic okay which is why I call it a juice), which is a cool and refreshing drink along with being nutritious. Loved by kids and adults, it's a keeper! So let's begin!Watermelon Mojito Ingredients:– 2 cups watermelon– 1 cucumber– an inch of ginger– 1 tbsp lemon juice Cut the watermelon into cubes and peel and slice the cucumber. Peel the ginger and chop it into 2 pieces. Extract the lime juice and keep it aside.This combination of ingredients in this juice is basically to cool down your system. It also helps to flush out the toxins in your body and is the perfect detox drink!This recipe has hardly any roughage as the ingredients are more water based. One by one you need to put all the pieces into the juicer and you will see that this juice gets done really quick. You can choose to strain it or keep it all. Pour into a glass and add a few ice cubes if needed.Watermelon is great for Vitamin C and Vitamin A intake along with some antioxidants, while cucumber provided Vitamin A, Pantothenic Acid, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Manganese, and is a very good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Potassium. Ginger helps aid digestion and provides antioxidants, while lime juice provided Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Calcium, Potassium and Copper. Doesn't this whole concoction sound like a wonder drink? Well it tastes that wonderful as well! I am sure you are going to love it as much as I did!So this is my fifth post of my May 2020 Blogging Challenge.

I know you must be wondering why the blog post has the title it has, so let me tell you a little story about this pretty white dress, which gave the blog post it's title. I bought this maxi dress from Forever 21 in the monsoon of 2017 (July to be precise), right when I got back from the USA after my vacation. Though the monsoon had started, when you see a white dress that subtly spells sexy, literally calls out to you and looks great on you too, you obviously are not going to leave the opportunity to buy it right? So I obviously didn't care that I would have to wait to wear it, because I definitely didn't want to not buy it, and then regret it later. So there it was in my shopping bag and home that very day. Little did I know, that because I wouldn't get to wear it a few months, I would completely forget about it. Very unlike me but yes it happened! 🤦Fast forward to February 2019 when one day while looking for a dress to wear for a party, I pulled out this dress from my cupboard. Trust me you should have seen that look on my face when I realized what a treasure I had found because it suddenly seemed to come out of nowhere, but simultaneously felt super guilty about forgetting it completely. When I finally got around to trying out the dress, fearing whether it still looked as flattering as when I had bought it, I discovered it fit even better and looked far better on me than when I had bought it. Well that was the solace I gave myself that I was meant to wear it when it looked nicer and that is why my cupboard had eaten it up for nearly one and a half years. 😂White Maxi Dress - Forever 21Pink and Red Heels - ZARA (Hong Kong)Jhumkas - Colaba CausewayBracelet - SwarovskiNow you know how my blog post got it's title.😊 When I wore it for the party, the whole world asked me where I got it from. The only thing I could tell them was that - Sorry, it's not available anymore (which was the truth as well)! I obviously couldn't tell them that I bought and then forgot such a pretty white maxi dress for nearly one and a half years, right? 😉I have worn it countless number of times since then and it is one of my favourites now. My only current regret is that this summer due to the lockdown, I am just not going to get to wear the dress outdoors, and then the monsoon will be here which means that I do not get to wear it for 4 to 5 months at least. Well I might just wear it inside the house to do justice! 😊📸: Abhijeet KankSo this is my third post of my May 2020 Blogging Challenge. Now it's your turn to submit your blog post links.
