The mantra for feeling beautiful is to actually love yourself first; no matter how you look. However if you do like what you see int he mirror, with a little bit of what if’s, you can take help of fashions biggest invention - the shapewear.

A good shape wear helps contour your body to give it a good shape to hid the little inconsistencies to give you a brilliant look. Similar to what makeup does to your face, a feelingirldress.com shapewear does to your body. There are a lot of products out there which may confuse you and so I’ve curated a list of three main products you should invest in to help you flaunt your curves.

Body Shaper
The most popular Shapewear that women first try is the best body shaper that is intended to trip the hip and waist areas giving a toned and firm look.

High Waister
Another very common shapewear is the high waister shorts that are designed for everyday use that guarantee a smooth line through the torso.

Body Suit
The most effective shapewear that all women swear by is the best shapewear bodysuit as it creates a head-to-toe streamlined shape, minimising parts of the baby that look out of order.

Butt Enhancer
A not so common shapewear type, the butt enhancer not only masks the flag around the stomach and but also  tones the thighs, to ensure the derrière looks smashing in any dress.

Thigh Slimmer
The least popular of the lot, the thigh slimmer works just like the high waister that perfectly clinches the thighs to achieve a slim thigh look.

Now that you know the 5 types of shapewear you need to invest in, make sure you know which fit you want to opt for too. Shapewear can vary from really light to very firm fits, based on its built and the control you choose.

» Light allows for smoothness and shaping without much binding
» Moderate allows for a more elasticized fit due to the light control panels
» Firm allows a tight fit due to the non-stretch control panels
» Extra Firm allows a smug supportive fit with reinforced metal boning panels

Last but not the least, shapewear is not designed for everyday, 24*7 use, so wear it wisely.

The health and beauty benefits of Rogan Jaitun Oil commonly known as Olive oil are innumerable. Over the last few years, experts have harped on the nutritiveness however it has been used for over thousands of years and is said to be the secret behind Cleopatra's beautiful hair and skin.

This little fruit is naturally loaded with antioxidants, polyphenols and Vitamins A, D, E and K, R which when cold-pressed is retained in the oil. I’ve been using Nature Sure™ Rogan Jaitun Oil for numerous skin and beauty DIY treatments at home. Here are some of the ways you can use the oil to get the hair and skin you are aiming for:


Pre-Shampoo Hair Mask: Warm the oil in a microwave or hot water for a couple of minutes and then apply on the scalp, hair roots and hair ends. Warm a warm towel on the head for about 30 minutes and then wash hair as normal for beautifully conditioned, voluminous and shiny hair.

Lip Scrub: Mix a spoon of olive oil with a spoon of lemon juice and sugar. Let this mixture sit in a cool dry place for a few hours and then use it to exfoliate your lips gently in a circular motion. Use this every day to get fuller, chap-free and light coloured lips.

Tinted Moisturiser: Dot a few drops of oil with a regular moisturiser, (especially for sensitive skin) and generously apply the face on the face and body. The oil will not only enable to absorb other skincare and makeup products well onto the skin and body but also work its magic behind the scene.

Protective Serum: Spray some oil on towel dry hair before using hair dryers, blowers or straighteners to shield hair from heat damage. Not only will this help avoid any hair detonation but also ensure an extra-glossy finish that leaves hair feeling silky, shiny and smooth.

Make-Up Remover: Pump a few drops of oil on a cotton makeup remover pad and cleanse the face. The oil base grabs in all the product on the face, including the eyes to act as the best pre-cleanse product. Ensure to finish with a cream-based cleanser for a residue-free skin.

If there are any other ways you use olive oil for skincare and haircare, drop me a message and I would love to add that to the list.

Have you been spending too much time worrying about your hair and skin?

Are you trying to correct your hair woes with  shampooing it more often, straightening it more than usual, colouring it regularly? Then you sure are doing something wrong, all you need to do is stop and listen to what your hair is saying. For every girl no matter what the hair texture is, the length is, the type is; has her own set of unique hair problems. And the only goal is healthy gorgeous hair. In this article, I shall cover some of the most common hair woes and the easiest and simplest way to overcome them.

Hair Fall: Usually, hair fall of 50-100 strands a day is normal, however, if it is more than that; it becomes an issue which may be caused by multiple factors including dry scalp.

Hair Breakage: Over a period due to hair abuse by repeated styling and treatments, hair becomes dry and brittle making it extremely fragile and prone to breakage.

Grey Hair: One of the major concerns for hair is greying which is the result of reduced melanin in the scalp and hair shaft. This could be age-related or due to hair abuse.

Dry Hair: The number of treatments like bleaching, perming or over-exposure to the sun, wind, salt or chlorine-filled water, makes hair dull and brittle and dry.

Oily Hair: Sometimes there is a build-up of products on the scalp which in turn make the sebaceous glands become over productive and result in greasy and limp hair.

Frizzy Hair: When the cuticle is exposed due to dryness, damage, etc and the outermost layer soaks in moisture, hair becomes frizzy and unmanageable.

Dandruff: As the scary becomes dry, the sebaceous glands overproduce and hair follicles get blocked causing dry skin of the scalp to peel.

Split Ends: When the hair shaft splits into multiples due to hair treatments, sun exposure, etc and causes it to become weak and flaky.

Well, I did suffer from all of these issues one time or another and always turned to the age-old formula of oiling my hair. The benefits of oiling cannot be stressed enough, from reviving lifeless tresses, to mending damaged ends to even stress relief. However, the most important benefit of oiling is that it strengthens the hair by increasing the tensile strength of the hair thereby preventing hair fall and hair breakage. This enables to stimulate hair growth while hydrating and nourishing it from within, preventing dullness, dryness and frizziness.

So the next important and relevant question in your mind will be ‘Which hair oil should I use?’. The simple answer to that is, ‘Since each oil has a unique blend of benefits, pick what concern areas you need to tackle’. But why pick one when you can pick all of them with Nature Sure™ Hair Growth Oil.


Nature Sure™ Hair Growth Oil is a highly effective combination of ‘herbs of choice’ including sesame, trifla, bhringraj, neelibhringadi and mahamohi. The oil is perfect for treating hair loss while promoting hair growth via stimulating the hair follicle and restoring the health of hair and scalp. Gentle massaging the oil onto the scalp increases circulation with more blood flow to the hair follicle controlling moisture and preventing dryness. The oil also protects from harmful UV rays and shield hair from pollution, chemical and undesired elements. Additionally, the mix of herbs has powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties which make it possible to treat dandruff, lice and scalp flakiness. The regular use of Nature Sure™ Hair Growth Oil prevents premature greying of hair, treats split ends and maintains the strength and health of hair.

I’ve picked Nature Sure™ Hair Growth Oil for hair that looks visibly healthier, thicker and shinier, my picture-perfect hair!

Recently I did an Instagram live with a beauty expert and realised that most of us have no freaking idea what sequence to follow for our skincare routines. Yes, I indeed did a few things incorrectly too, and honestly, how the hell does one know. But the discussion did reinforce my belief in the fact that if used incorrectly no matter what product you use, it becomes ineffective to the tune of actually causing harm like pigmentation, fine lines and acne.


So without further ado, here is the routine you must follow for a healthy glowing face.

Step 1: Cleanser
The first step for all beauty routines is and will always be to wash your face so that the skin is ready to accept and absorb products that are to follow. Use a make-up remover in an oil base and follow it with a cream-based cleanser for a residue-free skin.

Step 2: Toner
Cleansing is usually followed with prepping the skin for the next steps with a BHA or AHA based toner that works its magic to unclog pores, prevent breakouts and dissolve blackheads. Pick a toner that feels gentle and light on your face.

Step 3: Serum
Serums are like an instant boost of nutrients, hydrators, and antioxidants that amp skin health as soon as applied. Pick a serum enriched with Vitamin C that protects the skin from inflammation and damage caused by free radicals, while brightening skin and lightening dark spots.

Step 4: Eye Cream
There is a huge debate whether to apply eye cream before or after moisturisers, but for it to work its magic, eye cream is to be applied before any cream and oil so it can penetrate through the skin easily without any barrier. Pick an eye cream that is hydrating to repair the skin barrier.

Step 5: Spot Reduction Cream
Spot treatments are usually most ideal to use at night but if you plan to use it during the day too, pick one with Vitamin B3. It is crucial to dab just a tiny bit over the problem area and then wait for it to dry out (about a minute) before the next step.

Step 6: Moisturizer
You must use a moisturiser, always (even if you do not use any other product) as it is the only barrier that will keep the radicles out and keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Use a light, gentle hyaluronic-based moisturizer with SPF 30. Let it sit on the skin for a few minutes before the next step.

Step 7: Retinol
No matter what skin healthy you are at, using a Retinol will enable your skin to speed up cell repair, thereby ensuring you always have fresh, smooth, wrinkle-free skin. With retinol be prepared for a long haul as it takes almost 3-6 months to show the difference as it works from within.

Step 8: Facial Oil
Using a facial oil is an important part to seal in the products already applied on the face to keep them from evaporating. A facial oil penetrates through the layers of products, to unclog and fill enlarged pores, heal stretch marks and prevent loss of elastin and collagen.

Step 9: Sunscreen
After the products are sealed in, you must use sunscreen as a protective layer against all free radicals in the environment. Even if your moisturiser or your make-up product has any sunscreen, do not step out during the day without any sunscreen.


I, for one, cannot contemplate all these daunting steps every day and so for steps 5-8 I opt to use one single product, Nature Sure™ Pores and Marks Oil. The Pores and Marks oil is an amazing moisturiser that unclogs and fills enlarged skin pores, heals stretch marks and prevents loss of elastin and collagen. This luxurious oil has one of the highest nutritional contents that penetrate deeply into the skin, including Vitamins A, B, C, D and E, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, silica and zinc. This beauty wonder has oleic acid content as high as 72%, which makes it one of the best skin moisturisers in the world.

However, if you still decide to follow the 9-Step skincare formula, remember the rule of thumb is to apply the lightest product first and the heaviest last, since thinner products can’t penetrate thicker products. And for those who remain confused, the best way is to pin or save or screenshot this article, whatever works for you.

Kalonji or Nigella, commonly known as Black Seeds is a staple in an Indian household. The tiny seeds are an interesting spice when used for tempering dishes as it adds a beautiful aroma with a hint of flavour to the final outcome. Though it is commonly used in everyday dishes like curries, vegetables, and even in samosa, papdis and kachori, very few realise that this tiny spice offers a host of health benefits too.

Kalonji is loaded with iron, potassium, calcium, vitamins, proteins and fatty and amino acids that help keep the heart, mind and body healthy. Here, let’s take a look at Health Benefits of Kalonji:

Controls Diabetes and Cholesterol
The biggest benefit of Kalonji is that it controls the sugar problem, whether an exciting one or a borderline one. Kalonji prevents the sudden spike of sugar level in blood and minimises other symptoms of diabetes. Regular intake also decreases cholesterol levels.

Boosts Memory 
The most common benefit of Kalonji is boosting and sharpening memory thereby improving brain function. Memory loss and cognitive function inability in elderly people such as dementia, alzheimers etc. can be prevented by a regular intake of Kalonji.

Improves Vision
The unknown but very vital benefit of Kalonji is improving and enhancing vision. As Kalonji is rich in many essential vitamins, it can instantly cure eye-related problems such as redness and watering. Upon regular intake, Kalonji is known to reverse vision deterioration and prevent cataract and such.

Reduces Inflammation
The popularly known benefit of Kalonji is reducing chronic inflammation. Kalonji contains an active compound called Thymoquinone, which helps to reduce swelling and inflammation that can lead to severe health disorders.

Protects Liver
The most crucial medical benefit of Kalonji is protecting the liver. The liver is the important organ that performs tasks like removing toxins from the body, metabolising drugs and processing nutrients. Kalonji is known to protect the liver from an injury or any kind of damage while improving efficiency.

Isn’t that simply awesome for a small little seed to do?

So then why not including it in the daily lifestyle, to rake in all these benefits. The easiest way to consume it is taking a teaspoon of Nature Sure™ Kalonji Tail in a cup of black tea or pop a kalonji black seed tablet. These tablets are made with pure and natural ingredients and contain 300mg of 100% pure extract of Kalonji. According to many ancient scriptures including the ayurveda, daily intake of these tablets help strengthen the body from the inside, protect it against several health risks, provide antioxidants and purify the blood.

Apart from these benefits, Kalonji also has a host of beauty, skin and hair benefits, which I shall list out in another article.

A new mom is nothing short of a super-women, she cares for her newborn and her family and also ensures her work commitments are up to the mark. But does Motherhood self-care feature as a priority? Hahahah nope, that sure is a distant dream. For me too, it was and is the same!

One request that I hear every day is, “Mom can we go out for a bit please, just for a few minutes’. And this tears my heart up. No child deserves this isolation, especially those who are extroverts and thrive in company. Heer is that child.

She graduated to Grade 4 and was to stand for the primary school prefect elections, her ballet group was to travel abroad for a performance and she wanted a huge unicorn-themed swimming pool birthday party this year. She does ask me whether any of these will be possible this year, but I think in her heart she knows the answer. She does put on a happy face, but I know she is upset about not being able to do any of these things this year, as she had been looking forward to these milestones.

As an adult, I find it extremely important yet equally difficult to adjust to this new normal and can only imagine what a child may be feeling…. I have discussed this extensively with experts to ensure I do the best I can to reassure my kids that this is just a passing phase and a new experience for us all and we have to ride this tide together. And from these conversations and discussions, I’ve ensured I do a few things with Heer almost on a day-to-day basis, which has helped us weather this storm as a team. I would love to share these small tips with you that have made a huge positive impact on our household.

Talk to her about what is going on… 
Children are more susceptible to information that we credit them for, and so it is the best to give in to the curious minds and feed in the right information rather than having them wonder about what's going on. As they feel unnerved, vulnerable and even unsure; it is an opportune moment to answer their question and reassure them about the future.

Accept her emotions and behaviour…
Children have more to lose during the lockdown than us, their entire life in a way has been uprooted and a new normal is being set, which is not easy to fall into. Little things like going to school, playing with friends, heading out for classes, etc matter to them as much as work matters to us. So be empathic and help them understand their loss and accept related behaviour.

Set a new routine for her…
Of course, the new normal demands a new routine, so the best way to ensure that each day doesn’t end up like a marathon or a war-zone, create a new timetable for them to follow. Discuss with them what they would like to do and create a mix of independent and group activities including school work, playtime, screen time and more to ensure they are physically and mentally healthy.

We are all experiencing the lockdown for the first time, and we all are trying to cope in our ways, and learning as we go. You may falter at times, but don’t be hard on yourself and most importantly don't be very strict towards the kids. Follow the rule 'Ignore else Forgive', because every child is going to make a mistake or behave badly or throw a tantrum or just be a child.

When you are overwhelmed with all the responsibilities and work that's been thrown at you, just remember the little one who you held in your arms the very first time and promised to care for no matter what. Put that promise to work today.
