BEAUTY UNMASKED

The most beautiful face is always the face of the peaceful mind....

Does it ever cross your mind that you can micro-manage your skin concerns with a patchwork of mask for each zone of your face?

I examine the skin on my face and I’m sure most of us find that there are various skin issues like open pores, on cheeks, whiteheads, blackheads, and a dry T zone perhaps, and the discoloration on the forehead and around the mouth. So I was figuring out how is that even possible that one single mask can be used to address all the skin issues.

This is when multi-masking fits in as a one-step solution to take multiple concerns of your facial skin.

WHAT IS MULTI MASK

Applying different types of masks on different zones of our face according to dry and oily areas or to reduce discoloration or tan.

WHY MULTI-MASK

According to dermatologists, the distribution of sweat and oil glands differs from one portion of the face to another, even for the same person. Some people have combination skin like an oily T zone and dry cheeks.

So if they use a drying mask made of fullers’ earth for oil control all over the face the dry areas will go more dry and flaky. Hence it is better to apply a drying mask to the oily areas of the face, while a moisturizing mask works better for the dry areas.

HOW TO SELECT A MASK?

Not sure about the skin type of your face? Identify them by understanding the dry, oil, and sensitive patches. Applying five different masks on your face, almost like a painting. Collage will be worth your time.

WHAT SUITS WHERE?

Let’s find out. I used images to explain it in a better way with an amazing Nordic filter effect.

FOR EYES AREA

Masks with Vit C and K are good for the delicate skin around the eyes. Also, herbal formulations that cucumbers have will help soften fine lines.

FOR CHEEKS

For oily skin, opt for a mask with glycolic or salicylic acid. For dry skin collagen is effective. Also, aloe vera works well for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

FOR T-ZONE

The section on your face over the eyebrows and the nose tend to get very oily. Apply an oil-absorbing mask that has glycolic acid. Alternatively, fullers earth is a great option.

FOR MOUTH AND NECK

Apply brightening formulations around the mouth, up to the neck to even out your skin tone. A coffee and a honey scrub or a combination of cucumber and papaya can be prepared at home.

FOR THE NATURAL GLOW

After applying the various masks, keep them on for 15 min and relax. wash your face, pat dry and finish by applying a moisturizer suitable to your skin type.

Thank you for reading this

Have a happy and glowing skin folks!

Stay Healthy. Keep glowing

ARE YOU PLEASANT OR UNPLEASANT?

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. – 

Mahatma Gandhi 

This is way more imperative than any other thing in this world to ask yourself this question are you Pleasant or Unpleasant? The answer is nowhere else, it’s within you. You think you go out or look around for this answer! No, the answer is right inside you. The whole world is full of pleasant and unpleasant experiences, it is full of various pleasant and unpleasant things, it is full of pleasant and unpleasant times. I am paraphrasing this pleasant /unpleasant again and again to make sure that by the end of the post you should profoundly understand what I mean and the purpose of this post. Sometimes paraphrasing words like these are not only for your own good also beneficial for others and for those around you. Trust me I am not saying this for writing sake, it’s truly has a perspective.

So here I am asking one simple question to all my avid bloggers and readers who are reading this. Are you pleasant or unpleasant in your life?

And by this I mean that are you living your life pleasantly which means joyfully, happily, enthusiastically, confidently, peacefully, lively or Unpleasantly that means depressingly, anxiously, sadly or unhappiness is crept all the way into your soul, worried, crying on things which are not at all important and not in our control.

People say life is a mix of both, no my friend that is not what my opinion is! What my percept is, are you content in your life irrespective of what is happening around you and most importantly within you? For instance, something that happened you never wanted should have ever happened. Are you at peace within yourself? Or you are roaming with your thoughts here and there keeping yourself at the tumult, restless, and afflictive state. Do you juggle with them daily? And by the end of the day realized that you wasted another day on something which is not in your control and will never be! I know this happens and it happened to all of us we are no exceptions here for anything, more or less everyone has to face the rough times and enjoy their share of happiness. It’s part of our lives. Simple!

Always remember no one is going to ask you this that how you perceive, you have to ask this question to you every single day to make sure your inner being is nurtured, it’s convivial it’s at peace and not perturbed or fidgety it’s going with a flow and not trying to swim opposite current waters because this will lead you in the most exhausting situation, you will be so tired, drained and most importantly at severe unrest which will follow all unpleasantness and then you all don’t have an option to live but many to die.

This life is freakingly beautiful all you have to add lots and lots of alacrity and less and less of adversity and this way you can throw out all the negative thing in your life slowly and steadily. Remember this, if you are feeling uncongenial in your life you are not going to release it at once because it didn’t creep in you at this moment so It will take lots of sweetness to shove it out of your life and make your life bittersweet but most importantly a beautiful experience! and that can only be done when you are a jovial person. So drop the unpalatable from your life try to see good in what’s happening and try to invest your thoughts in more meaningful processes of life.

I wish you all to be Pleasing people and make this world a beautiful place not only for you but for others who are living in it with you. Once pleasantness is all there you will love everything around you, you will see how beautiful everything will become as all the unpleasantness is replaced by pleasantness in the whole process and that gives your life a real meaning to enjoy it not just to exist.

HAIR WARS: TOP KNOT V/S RETRO PIN UP SAILOR

Life is too short to have Boring Hair…

Hair wars are one of my favourite posts but I rarely do it as tutorial for my blog. It’s really hard to choose from two different and beautiful hairstyles. No trust me! Its really very indurate for me to opt one and that is the reason it took me so long to post something like this.

So here it is, and why not experiment different styles to suit your face type, I always love trying that.

In this post I am trying to create two very different hair do’s one is Top Knot and the other one is Retro Pin Up Sailor.

Let’s get started :

WHAT YOU NEED: Comb// Bobby pins// Hair doughnut//Hair shining serum// dryer//hair spray

TOP KNOT

Top knot also known as Sock not; this hair do is a classic and characterised by hair piled high on the head. It can be messy or perfectly styled. To achieve this look:

  1. Tie your hair into ponytail on the crown of your hair head
  2. Take doughnut and slide it all the way around your ponytail to where it rests.
  3. Fan your hair evenly around doughnut. Swoop hair around the doughnut and pin it underneath. Use bobby pins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_pin
  4. If you like bun to be messy or to have unstructured look, you can pull out some strands from the side and tease at the bun to loosen it.

RETRO PIN -UP SAILOR

This is the early pin-up style. With one half of the hair pinned up and the other half left down. It’s the perfect hairdo for retro monic star look in theme parties, halloween or just sailing around. To achieve this look;

  1. Start out by prepping your hair. Add some products to add texture and shine for lustrous look( well I didn’t used any at the time of styling my hair)
  2. Follow it up with simple blow-dry to smoothens the strands. Part the hair in the centre.
  3. Starting from one side, gather the front section from the ear to your parting and smooth it so the hairline is bump free.
  4. Twist several times upwards towards parting.
  5. Secure the hair along the line of the twist with several bobby pins to anchor the twist in place.
  6. Repeat it on other side too.
  7. Use curling tong (optional) or keep them straight(I opt for this). Mist with hair spray to hold the look for long and lustrous look.

No matter whether a Top knot or Retro Pin -up Sailor you choose , both are effortlessly stylish.

Drop a message for your favourite look and for trying too:)

Thank you so much for reading!

Happy hair styling!!

HOW TO CHANEL YOUR PUNK PRINCESS

“In reality punk people are usually the gentlest, kindest folks you’ll ever know. They’re like hippies, only they wear way more black.” 

Kate Rockland

Usually, I am less experimental and follow trends that especially suits my inner being. Like.. kind of sweet, humble, easy-going, and cute. But that never means that I don’t want to try different looks or styles. But trust me it’s been a long I was waiting to try this empirical look that is an absolute paradox of my personality type. Yes, of course! I was a bit nervous but excited too to give this look a try.

So no time wasted and I gave myself go ahead and tried this delinquent look. Also, I wanted to share the easiest possible tutorial so that you can also try this tremendous look. I wanted to add a little wild side that promises to be one of the top fall/winter trends This is a strong, edgy, and nonconformist look and I think I should give it a shot, no matter if I go wrong so be it! eh? Let’s do it!

I divided this look into three parts:

HAIR

  • Sweep your hair to the base of your head securing it at the nape.
  • Lift the hair at the top of your head to create a middle bun and spray to keep it in place.
  • Use hairspray to keep all flyways at bay, or you can also use a metal band to keep them in place.
  • This look needs to be severe and in place.

EYES

  • Use metallic grey or black eyeshadow to give that punk or Smokey look to your eyes.
  • Use the color evenly on your upper and lower lids and extend into a thick wing from the outer corner of your eye.
  • Line your inner eyelids with a black eye crayon pencil and finish with lots of mascara.

LIPS

  • With lips, this dark to ensure the ruffian look, make sure the look is severe, not messy.
  • To stop ugly bleeds, use a little foundation to line your lips.
  • Blend. Sharpen a lip pencil and draw a firm, fine line outlining your natural lip shape.
  • Fill in with a dark berry matte lip shade or creamy color using a lip brush. Blot and reapply.

And done!

Folks, give in to your wild side with this strong look that promises to be one of the top winter/fall trends.

Happy Reading and stay safe!

HAIL KALE

“Eating healthy food fills your body with energy and nutrients. Imagine your cells smiling back at you and saying: “Thank you!”.

Karen Salmansohn

For me health is above everything, like all the good and excellent things you can ever think of, I put health on top of my list. Without good health you are just alive you are not living it to the full.

Once you get to know about the benefits of a healthy body you realize nothing can beat that. So in order to be healthy, we need to focus on nothing else but what we are eating. Ninety percent of our health benefits depend upon what we intake. You know what they say ” you became what you eat”

And yes, I personally believe whatever exercise routine you follow, whether it’s a gym, yoga, or jogging… a major game-changer is always your diet. So it’s always really important to know what actually you are eating and what benefits you will get from it. Among various healthy foods and superfoods, I want to talk about the most nutritious one.

Move on from Spinach, there’s is a new power food that is packed with tons and tons of health benefits. It is none other than Queen of Greens, KALE

BENEFITS

Kale is a leafy vegetable from the cabbage family. According to a nutritionist, one cup of Kale contains:

5g of Fiber

15 percent of calcium

Vit B6 (pyridoxine)

40 percent of magnesium

180 percent of Vit A

200 percent in Vit C

1020 percent of Vit K

Also present in small amount are Vit E and Iron, Zinc, and Folate.

The flavonoids reduce the risk of some cancers, and its antioxidants slow down tissue wear and tear. Due to its low-calorie content and cholesterol-lowering abilities, kale offers excellent cardiovascular support.

Kale is a frilly deep green leaf in a loose, lettuce-like bouquet, it tastes like cabbage, but with a sharper taste than spinach. Always choose firm, crisp leaves with a moist hardy stem and vibrant color. Avoid yellowish kale, it’s too mature. Store unwashed and chilled in an airtight bag for up to 5 days.

HOW TO EAT

Coarsest stems in kale need to be removed before use, but thin stems; can be cooked with the leaves, If you’ve chosen a young kale bunch, you can remove stems ad toss them in a salad with lime juice. The juice will cook the kale in about 15 min while leaving it crisp. In other dishes, Kale tastes best when steamed, braised, or stir-fried. So any green vegetable ever made more sense to you? I don’t think so?

Hoping you enjoy this absolutely nutritious superfood and will take very good care of yourselves.

Thank you so much for reading . Stay Healthy folks!
