In the beauty markets especially with regards to virgin hair extensions, Malaysian hair bundles have become extremely popular for beauty enthusiasts. The hair type is extremely soft, thick, silky and shiny. There are a numerous styles and types in these hair bundles including wavy, curly and more. However the maintenance of hair bundles are extremely particular, especially when combing curly virgin hair bundles. This process is a bit complication and so it requires a great deal of time and patience. But afraid not, since there is little to no shredding, the below mentioned pointers can help one get started.

Finger Combing
The initial step to maintain Malaysian hair extension bundles while combing is finger brushing. This can be done even while cleaning the bundles, simply run your fingers through the hair to detangle it instantly. As fingers are the best tools to detangle hair a regular finger combing act will ensure that the hair looks rich, while keeping the hair swirls bouncy. It is important that prior to finger brushing, the bundle is spritz with water or liquid conditioner, so that the curls are retained better and also last longer. 

Brush When Damp
The rule is to not comb Malaysian hair extension bundles when hair is completely dry, but when the hair is wet and with a wide toothed comb or a Denman brush. In the most urgent cases, when heading out and with no option of dampening the hair prior to brushing, it can be combed with a wide toothed comb only and not more than twice a day, as it will cause hair loosening, breaking and tangling. 

Check the entire collection of virgin hair extensions here. 

Untangle Thoroughly
Malaysian hair bundles hardly ever tangle, however if the bundle is in a tangled situation, it can be fixed. The simplest way is to portion the hair in smaller sections, and focus on disentangling each section slowly. Spray a section with water, brush it carefully with a wide toothed comb. Start at the ends and slowly work your way up of each section. In worst cases a detangler spray can be used so the the hair remains looking lovely and curly. 

Malaysian hair extension bundles are wonderful, however they need a specific level of treatment and focus. These brushing pointers are likewise important to keep the hair extension bundles well maintained and attractive. Along with these suggestions above be sure to talk to the hair vendors to enable the hair extension bundles to last longer than expected.

You will definitely want to choose Nitrile Gloves, because hospitals can be extremely stomach-turning, because of the medicines, chemicals, liquids and surgical tools that medical and cleaning staff use. Doctors have to handle many patients that suffer from all sorts of ailments and thus have to use different substances and tools every single day.

After hearing all of this there is not doubt medical and cleaning staff wear protection to make sure that they do not come into contact with anything harmful. They might not even realize it when they are touching something dangerous, but as a medical professional always has to be ready for any eventuality they consider using the nitrile glove. hearing all of this there is not doubt medical and cleaning staff wear protection to make sure that they do not come into contact with anything harmful. They might not even realize it when they are touching something dangerous, but as a medical professional always has to be ready for any eventuality they consider using the nitrile glove.

Nitrile gloves are available in different types and sizes and with different features, and so it becomes important to research they type of glove that best suits your purpose. And before they begin their search many people ask, "What is the difference between nitrile and latex?" - So basically like latex, nitrile is designed for the hands and they are referred to as 'mitts'. The main difference between nitrile and latex is that latex can at times be unreliable as they are known to puncture and tear when put under too much pressure. Nitrile is firmer and tougher, which makes it the better option of the two. They are manufactured from a non-latex material that will not cause skin reactions and hypersensitivity like latex could possibly. 

You will be able to find the nitrile glove in three different grades. The first grade is best suited for those that work in the medical department and uses gloves often and the second grade glove is perfect for those that work in the emergency fields like paramedics and disaster management that only use the gloves when they are out on call. The third grade glove is unsupported for anyone working in the medical department. However, you will find that these gloves are well-suited for those that are performing lighter jobs such as painting and maintenance work. The other thing that you should keep in mind when it comes to handling these gloves is that they should be kept away from heat, because this will destroy them as nitrile and heat do not go together!

You have to think carefully when choosing a glove, and look at all of the features of the different types and see which of them fits what you do best. Be sure of its advantages and disadvantages before just walking off with them, as this could be dangerous. Make sure Wholesale Nitrile Gloves you choose will be able to successfully protect your hands.

After using almost all the products from the NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Skin and Hair care ranges I was excited to try the newly launched NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil and NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Skin Anti-Ageing Repair Cream.

Carrot Seed extract is a newly discovered however widely used ancient beauty ingredient that is highly beneficial in skincare as it:
Supports Anti-oxidation: the extract is rich in antioxidants, which is vital in fending off skin-damaging free radicals.
Stimulates Cell: the extract is a precursor to Vitamin A, which is responsible for cell regeneration, turnover and repair. 

The NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Skin Anti-Ageing Repair Cream is high in Tocopherol that acts as an anti-oxidant to scavenge free radicals, prevent collagen damage, lower pigmentation and mute uneven skin tone. Additional the protein in the cream promotes skin repair, reduces scarring and speeds up skin healing. And above all Ducol and Carotol in the cream forms a natural shield against skin infections.  

Apart from the natural carrot seed extract, the cream is also infused with Aloe Vera Extract, Soybean Extract, Manjishtha Extract, Vitamin E, Honey, Almond Oil, Light Liquid Paraffin, Glycerine, Glycol Monostearate and Stearic Acid. This great concoction, ensures that the cream is:
~ naturally pH-balanced and free from harmful chemicals
~ prevent wrinkles and collagen breakdown and eases skin inflammation
~ prevent skin cell damage caused by free radicals, UV radiation and pollution


So here’s my experience of the NEUD Premium Skin Anti-Ageing Repair Cream…. I’ve been using the cream as directed. I liberally apply and massage the cream twice a day, gently on my skin until it is fully absorbed. My first impressions about the cream is amazing… The cream is fragrance-less and very light coloured. The texture is super light and it does not weigh, and is easily absorbed without any stickiness or residue left. I absolutely love how the cream inspite of being so light keeps my skin moisturised and hydrated for almost the entire day. 

Since the cream is a skin and body cream I used it as a moisturising face cream too and it worked amazing well. I’ve noticed slowly how my skin texture has improved with the reduction of breakouts, lightening of acne scars and age spots. I’m finally on the way to achieving a healthy, clear and even toned skin with the cream. As a body cream the NEUD Premium Skin Anti-Ageing Repair Cream has worked wonders for me. I have a beautifully hydrated skin, with no signs of tan or skin discolouration. 

I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great cream to try the NEUD Premium Skin Anti-Ageing Repair Cream and each of you will just like me, absolutely love your skin.

Until next time,

Scientists have traced the desire to reverse ageing to thousands of year ago and have pegged a positive lifestyle and clean eating habits as the best way to reduce ageing. However I personally think that eating nutritious meals and staying physically fit are just a couple of wellness-related goals that support healthy ageing but numerous other subtle lifestyle changes can actually help reduce signs of ageing and also help repair skin damage and premature ageing.

I’ve included these small yet crucial changes in my every-day routine that help restore my skin’s texture and improve my skin’s health; making it younger looking, radiant and healthy. 

Remove the Triggers
Alcohol and smoking play a major role in prematurely ageing. Alcohol dehydrates the skin leading to irreversible damage while smoking results in a dull and shallow complexion. Together the two speeds up the process with long term damage. 

Stay Hydrated
Drinking adequate water is essential for good health as the body needs water for every function. Besides flushing out, aiding digestion, and regulating body temperature, water keeps skin healthy from within, boosts skin elasticity and corrects tissue damage.

Regulate Sleep Pattern
It is crucial to get adequate sleep but it is more important to sleep correctly. Studies have proved that sleeping on the back helps prevent facial skin distortion. Also switching cotton sheets and pillowcases by silk bed linen lowers friction and skin abrasion. 

Supplement the Body
Every body suffers from either lack of nutrition or overconsumption of malnutrition meaning too little of the right things or much of the wrong things. Getting your blood work done and consulting a physician is the best way to regularise your body, identify the needs and supplement wisely. 

Go beyond CTM  
Set a skincare routine apt for your skin type, however follow the main three steps of cleansing, toning and moisturising the skin. Once the skin is treated to this, take a step ahead with an under-eye cream and a skin renewal and anti-ageing cream.


I’ve been following a set skincare routine with NEUD Goat Milk skincare products including the face wash and moisturising lotion and have recently added the NEUD Goat Milk Premium Skin Renewal Cream.

The NEUD Goat Milk Premium Skin Renewal Cream is loaded with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA),Vitamins, Minerals, and Selenium, which individually have immense skincare benefits. When infused together the ingredients become a great skin booster as the cream helps to: 

~ prevents sun-induced skin damage and discolouration 
~ retain moisture, protect skin collagen and nourish the skin
~ remove age spots, prevent wrinkles and brighten complexion
~ promote growth of new skin cells and remove dead skin cells

I’ve been using the Skin Renewal Cream since its launch and the one thing I have noticed is the improvement in my skin elasticity. The overall skin tone has definitely improved with the lighter spots and no visible pigmentation. Another thing I’m really happy about is that my skin no longer feels flaky as it is deeply hydrated. To cut the long story short this was one step missing in my skincare routine and now with NEUD Goat Milk Premium Skin Renewal Cream, my skincare routine is invincible. 

The best part is that the cream is suitable for all skin types for both men and women, so you should definitely be investing in the right products for your skin. 

Until next time,

Since Rajveer was born I experienced excessive hair-fall and no matter what I tried nothing seemed to work, until I chanced upon the magical ingredient Carrot Seed. The extract from carrot seed contains Carotene, Carotenoids and Vitamin A, which are very good for healthy skin, hair, gums and teeth. Also, it has a soft earthy smell that relieves stress and exhaustion, detoxifies and stimulates cell rejuvenation. 

As the beauty industry was suddenly waking up to the benefits of Carrot Seed skin and hair care products, and I needed a solution to my hair fall I was excited to receive the newly launched Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil from NEUD and got about trying it out so I could share my personal experience with you. 

Since I’m so excited about the product, I researched a bit more to find that Carrot Seed Hair Oil: 

~ is naturally pH-balanced and free from harmful chemicals
~ soothes itching and prevent dandruff, breakage and split ends
~ helps stimulate growth, improves tensile strength and adds volume
~ is an ancient ingredient in aromatherapy used by Indians, Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, French and Chinese


The NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil is infused with Carrot Seed Oil, Carrot Seed Extract, Vitamin E, Wheat Germ Oil, Almond Oil, Brahmi Extract, Olive Oil, Bhringraj, Aloe Vera Extract, Sunflower Oil, Sesame Oil and Castor Oil. The oil is suitable for all hair types and both men and women, and retails at INR 400.00 for a 300 ml bottle. 

So here’s my experience of the NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil…. I’ve been religiously using the hair oil as directed. I liberally apply the the oil on my scalp and hair roots at night, massage it gently for 15 minutes in circular motion and then shampoo my hair the next morning with the NEUD Carrot Seed Hair Care range.

The physical aspect of the hair oil is great… it is absolutely colourless with a mild earthy tone and extremely light texture. Since I used it on the scalp and not on the hair shaft, it did not weigh the hair down, but at the same time felt binding. My first impressions about the hair oil was the moment I was washing my hair, it was great as I had to shampoo my hair very lightly and the oil washed off easily. The hair fall was more or less the same the first few times I used the hair oil, however I noticed a remarkable difference in hair fall after week three. The hair fall had reduced drastically, my hair had a nice natural bounce with almost no frizz at all. 

It has now been almost 2 months since I’ve included the NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil in my hair care regime and to be honest I don't think I’m going to find any product that is going to replace it. My hair feel healthy, shine and smooth. What else could a girl want? Nothing right? 

So make the switch to NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Oil and oil up, flip hair and kick ass.

Until next time,

It is indeed difficult to have a full home makeover time and again…. new paint, new furniture, new wallpaper, new lighting, are all out of the question. But little decor changes are a great way to upgrade the look of any space without needing a lot of time, money and effort. I’ve tried a few things at home and here is a list of five quick and inexpensive changes that worked splendidly for me to make a big impact without blowing up my bank account.

Redesign Floor
The quickest way to refresh the look of your space is to rearrange the furniture and create a new floor layout, while making optimum use of open spaces. The hack here is to make the home look more spacious while adding additional pieces that instantly change the decor dynamics by picking some neat pieces of home decor online. 

Swapping Accents 
Swap out light fittings such as an overhead chandelier or a table lamp, or changing a lamp shade, or hanging a large painting can make a huge change in the look of the living space. However, my favourite is a large plant hanger within the living space to bring the nature inside the home and make it more green. 

Create Display
Make use of the passageway or corridor to create a display of your collection of books, memorabilia, vintage pieces or even decorative plates. Mix it up, don’t just stick to a gallery wall full of picture frames or travel magnets. I’ve added a gorgeous set of electric talking parrots over a table for some quirk and play from the best pet supply store.

Adding Lights 
Lighting changes make a big difference in the look of a home. Apart from allowing natural light to come in throughout the day, add some soft lighting to create a cozy environment for the evenings. I love adding little lamps, fairy and string lights, or candles not only in the living space but also the bedroom. 

Mirror It
The simplest home decor idea to double any space is to add huge wall mirrors. Mirrors not only brighten up the home but also add elegance especially if you find big mirrors with unique frame structure and colour. I love mirrors as it gives an illusion of a bigger space while adding to my love for vintage aesthetics.

There are numerous other ideas like adding metallic detailing to add shimmer, adding a gorgeous throw to make the look softer, highlighting a wall with wallpaper, creating a display and much more. Nothing beats revisit your space on a blank flatly and play house by picking knick knacks from my most trusted website Aoin.

The world of personal care products can be extremely confusing, especially if you are looking for organic and natural products that promise clean beauty. With the Indian Cosmetic Regulation's ever changing guidelines and non-beauty stringent mandates, labels like ’non-toxic’, ‘green’ etc mean nothing as tons of brands just use these titles for more eyeballs and sales. And thus comes my constant search for organic and natural skincare, that ensure everything from the ingredients to the packaging; is safe not only for my skin but also for the planet, has brought me to Deyga. 

Deyga is a fusion of nature and goodness, handcrafted with traditional recipes to bring 100% pure, cruelty free and sustainable products to customers. The brand offers a humungous range of products including skin and hair care, bath and body, oral and wellness products and above all baby care products; all gentle, natural and ethical. I’ve been using a host of products from the brand and here absolutely have a list of my most favourites that I’m sharing here.

Aloe Vera Gel
The multipurpose Aloe Vera gel accentuates skin and hair health. Massage the gel onto clean and pat dry skin or hair to replenish its natural moisture, making  it soft and supply with a natural glow. Aloe’s natural healing and softening properties make it an invincible product. The gel is cold pressed with no additional ingredients ensuring it retains all its nutrients.

Hair Serum
A liquid gold serum for hair that acts like a protective layer for the hair shaft. The hair serum is a blend of 100% organic oils including argan and carrot seed that helps promote new and healthy hair growth. The hair serum is especially beneficial for dry and damaged hair, excessively treated hair to stimulate growth, relive dryness and irritation and promote healthy scalp.

Rose Scrub
A body scrub made of skin cleansing ingredients such as Aloe Vera, rice flour, semolina and infused with skin rejuvenating ingredients like rose and lotus petals the rose scrub melts into the skin, refining the pores while exfoliating dead cells and skin. Regular use of the scrub ensures softening of the skin while providing healthy and gorgeous glow.

Mint Lip Scrub
A sweet and tangy combination of mint and sugar in the scrub helps to reverse pigmentation and prevents any damage to the lip cell membrane. The scrub is also include with shea butter and essential oils for moisturisation and beeswax to restore chapped lips. Regular use helps exfoliate dead cells away to nourish smoother and fuller lips with constant hydration.

Beetroot Lip Balm
A lip balm is infused with beeswax, beetroot extract, shea butter, and essential oils, enabling lip healing. Regular use helps nourish the lip skin and keeps it balanced and supple, while giving it a beautiful natural shine.  

So all in all, products from Deyga are my new favourites and if you want to try them too, check out their website at www.deyga.in to know about the entire product portfolio of handcrafted pure organic skin and hair care products.

Even though I haven’t stepped out much in the last year and a half, I’m always on the lookout for new things and it amazes me how much a pair of shoes excite me and I can visualise how it can simply transform my outfit from routine to spectacular. The lockdown has given me so much more time to explore the internet and thats when I chanced upon UP2STEP you can visit them at https://up2step.com/, my very own wonderland candy store. 

The platform offer the latest trends in the most affordable price tag, whilst an expensive look and comfortable wear. While browsing I just wanted to add new styles and fill the gaps in my shoe closet if any, but I ended up adding so many to my wishlist and even bought a few of them right away. I cant wait to show you what I’ve ordered, as each pair is absolutely stunning and gorgeous. 

Pink Velvet Mules Heels Closed Toe Low-Heel Pumps with Crystals

I think I chanced upon the style of this season, having seen loads of celebrities sporting it perfectly from summer to spring, the stunning Heeled Mules, every pair I've seen is stunning you can find loads of options at https://up2step.com/featured/womens-mules/mule-heels. I love how these heels are a perfect mix of comfort and sexy, and can be styles with absolutely any outfit be it a party dress or mom jeans.

I’ve also been a huge fan of white heels which look sleek, monochromatic and super feminine with oodles of attitude, self-expression, and individuality. It's easy to pick white heels almost like picking bridal shoes block heel, as these are not only chic bit also uncomplicated and go well with almost about everything. It is a shoe closet necessity at all times of the year, that will instantly make you feel like you are walking on air. 

Green Clear Crystal Slingback Pumps Pointed Toe Shoes with Spool Heel

And last but not least, I also stock up on Kitten Heels, for all the running around I need to do with the kids. I truly believe that no matter what I’m doing, I need to walk on heels but with kids I’ve altered the heel height to ensure no crazy accidents. You can check some amazing kitten heel options at  that I loaded with colour, style and accessory options. 

As you see I’m a sucker for polished and wearable styles that are effortlessly aesthetic. I do have the luxury of mixing and matching my styles be it a classic pair of flats, or a pair of delicate bow sandals or a gorgeous heel from UP2STEP that will now breathe new life into my shoe wardrobe.

Shapewear definitely can help you look and feel your best, but while it smoothen the unflattering bulges and lines, it should most definitely also be comfortable. With so many styles to choose from, it's hard to know which one to pick, I know I’ve had a lot of trouble finding the right shapewear. I won’t know what is the one that offers tummy control or the one that can help slim the love handles or the muffin tops. So I did the most logical thing I could, I spoke to experts about the best shapewear for women, where to find them and what are the best style preferences and what silhouettes work for specific target areas. 

Yes, it indeed was a lot of work, but here is the synopsis… 

High Rise Brief Panty Flatten Tummy

Briefs and Bras 
A high-rise brief with tight firmness, is perfect for tummy control without the need for thigh coverage. A lightweight fabric with a silicon waistband works best to flatten bulges and create smoothness. Shapewear brief are very popular in all sizes, and more so especially for plus size shapewear.  Then we have bras, especially those which are extra fitted tend to create unwanted lines and bulges, so opting for a Back-Smoothing Bra in a breathable fabric that is comfortable, supportive, and looks great under clothing is the perfect way to everyday amazement. 

Seamless Above Knee Shaping Shorts

High-Waist Shorts
Almost a 3-in-1 product that shapes the thighs, butt, and hips with extra emphasis on the tummy. There are shorts with normal high rise and extra high rise, which target the said areas along with muffin tops too. It is easy to wear these for the entire day if you pick this style in a lightweight, seamless fabric with medium firmness. 

Plus Size Lycra® Shaping Bodysuit

Seamless Tank 
A seamless tank is perfect for everyday layering, that can be sported under tops, dress to smoothen lines and bulges. It is a great way to achieve the look you are after without the restrictions of regular shapewear. Pick one that is designed with under cover compression especially in the mid-section to help contour the body. 

These are indeed some great options, especially if you are looking for everyday shapewear. So go grab these styles and come thank me later. 

Until next time,

The last year has changed our lives in many ways however; the one thing that has tied everything together seamlessly is technology. We’ve seen path-altering platforms emerge and make notable shifts in different spheres of life, education being no exception. Schools took the technological route for learning, making the experience interesting.

While I stood up to the challenge and navigated through e-schooling my daughter, I kept looking for avenues that would help broaden her horizon and give her an edge in a technologically advancing world. And my search leads me to ‘Coding’ a new-age skill that seems to be the need of the hour.

Well, very simply put 'Coding is the backend language of computers that when communicated with helps perform a specific function resulting in what we see at the frontend'. Just like any form of communication, there are numerous ‘coding languages’, which have their own individual set of rules, and are to be written specifically to obtain the outcome.

So before jumping onto the bandwagon I asked myself, ‘Why is it important for my child to know this language?’. As I read up on the benefits of coding, I soon realised that not only is coding a new form of literacy but also a path to holistic development that brings personal and academic benefits such as:

Logical Thinking 
Children today are born in the digital world and possess an innate ability to understand coding. A course allows them to use linear thinking and apply logic to break down, set and sequence instructions in a methodical manner to achieve desired results. It inspires them to look at and experiment with different permutations to see how each different set of instructions change the results.

Soft Skills
Children tend to move from one thing to another very quickly, but with coding, they improve on the most crucial skills needed to succeed - Consistency. Coding pushes them to continue to try again differently, especially when faced with a dead end. Consistency also enables them to realise other soft skills like communication, execution, leadership and teamwork.

Creativity
Coding may look like a very technical activity, but it encourages creativity as it requires finding avenues to achieve the desired result. So in all essence coding helps children to think differently, as they set out to turn a vague idea into something effective, something visual and something that works; through trial-and-error, by taking risks, and by applying their learning of the new language in new innovative ways.

So now the next important question is, what course do I enrol my child to? The internet is full of brands, platforms and courses, and so after rounding up a few options and researching about the courses offered on each platform I zeroed in on the Leapwaters Coding Camp.

Leapwaters is a learning platform that offers high quality, affordable, live interactive classes on essential digital skills in multiple Indian languages for children and young adults. The curriculum has been designed by a team of global experts and academicians, in a manner that is easy to absorb and fun to execute. The Leapwaters Coding Camp courses are outlined through new age teaching methodologies that make each of them highly interactive. I choose Leapwaters for:

Age-Appropriateness
The courses offered are for different age groups that have relevant topics that are age-appropriate and which increase from one group to the next. As the child grows older the courses offer continuity, with an appropriate advanced structure that is important for children.

Convenience
The convenience of online classes makes attending the live session easy either from any place with internet access. Also, the Leapwaters Coding Camp courses provide lifetime access to video tutorials in multiple languages, academic articles and notes. The instructor-led, student-centered courses ensure better understanding and involvement.

Curriculum
Even though the duration of each course is one month with a pre-set of topics to be taught, children are also involved in live projects with an amazing opportunity to make six coding projects, four apps, four games and two artificial intelligence and machine learning projects.

Assistance
The courses are easy and stress-free and also offer an option of catching up if a class has been missed. Apart from this it also provides free guidance counseling sessions if required by a student. An added is that every student is entitled to membership to The Leapwaters Entrepreneurs.

Value
The Leapwaters Coding Camp courses are valuable and that goes beyond the price of the course; which is extremely affordable and pocket-friendly, with an additional advantage of 10% discount on enrolling in Leapwaters Coding Camp righaway. The value the courses bring to the child with their quality programs, education experts, and community building initiative; makes it one of a kind.



Don't we all know that knowledge is power, and coding is the futuristic power that children will need to excel in the years to come? Whether they choose to use this power or not is completely upon them, however, we must equip them with this power today.
So don't think twice, enrol your child today to the Leapwaters Coding Camp, and if you can do gift a course to a child who may not have access to it.

Until next time,

I started to put my perfect summer wishlist together for a vacation, hoping the world would be all safe and ready for travel in 2021 but alas it couldn’t be. But what's needed is needed no matter what the situation is and so I grabbed some of these amazing products for myself already! 

Though I’ve started to shop seasonally, which I'm pretty sure will last through the season and into the next, I've always been fascinated with fast fashion and so here's a peek of my current favourites - must haves with just a few checked off. 

Off Shoulder Dress
Another must have this season is an airy off-the shoulder dress or top. I found this gorgeous floral print dress in my favourite colour and snagged it immediately. The fitted top compliment the wide, panelled bottom making it more flattering, perfect for garden or beach stroll. 

Mini Buckle Bag
Mini bags are a rage this season and especially both vibrant and pastel colours. I found the perfect mini buckle bag on Wholesale7, in some gorgeous shades. I love the gorgeous checkered design and the drawstring patter that make it dainty and stylish at the same time. And guess what, it's at steal price of $4.35. Who wouldn’t want one?

Casual Swimsuit
I love experimenting with prints and so as soon as I saw this gorgeous novelty printed swimsuit I knew I had to have it. I absolutely love both a casual swimsuit as well as a sexy bikini set, and have stocked up on various prints and colours in comfortable, breathable, and flattering fabrics and fits. 

Flip Flops
I love my manicured feet, with a hint of colour that peeks through flip-flops. No only that it's easier to keep my feet happy and breathing in pastel coloured flip flops that can take you fro out and about to the beach or even to a date. I’ve picked this gorgeous pair of contrast colour wedge flip flop slippers with a shiver of a heel that helps me float in air. 

Hair Hoops
Hair Hoops or commonly known as headbands have shown the biggest come back over the last few years and it's my favourite in the hair accessories category. Some of the styles that I’m digging are padded, embellished, braided and knotted; and even a combination of these. I couldn’t pass the offer on this set of simple Tie A Knot bands. 

And well I also plan to stock up on a lot of accessories, including body chains, anklets, earrings, bracelets and more from the 5 Dollar Store, which is going to be super light on my pocket, but stylish on myself. 

Let me know in the comments below whats your summer essential?

Productivity is the hallmark of a life well-lived, no matter at any age. Of course, it matters that your kids learn the value of productivity or staying productivity from a very young age. There are several tips and tricks that you can absorb from the experts in this regard. You can always encourage kids activities at home and other hobby classes for helping children stay more productive in the course of each day. 

Yellow Class will help you out with tons of kids activities online and innovative classes/sessions. As a parent you will have the power towards encouraging your children to get involved, brush up their skills, stay engaged and most importantly, stay productive! Success is actually not about results or final outcomes; it is about learning how to remain productive. Those who are successful are hugely productive, continually expanding their areas of interest and scope of operation while also learning continuously, each day at a time. They have friends, multiple hobbies and ample time for their families while being able to travel and enjoy numerous experiences in turn. 

Successful and productive adults are more likely to have been hugely productive as children as well. Here are some tips from the experts, keeping the current digital age in mind: 

Teach relevant technology skills - In today’s world, teaching your children the right technical skills will help them stay more productive. For instance, if your child can take a screenshot of something, then he/she can easily show the same to others instead of spending time on a phone call or message to explain the aspect. This is just an example. Start with simple things for children including taking screenshots and photographs, emailing, editing and so on. Technology will ultimately boost productivity a great deal! 

Playing games together - Productivity can be taught to children by playing fantastically engaging games together on smartphones, tablets and other devices. These games will help your children focus on the task at hand and the technique works marvellously indeed. It will teach your children the value of goal-setting as well. 

Get learning resources online - You can get learning resources and other skill sessions online like the Yellow Class. These platforms go a long way towards enhancing productivity by teaching your children things like dancing, painting, storytelling, creative writing, DIY crafts and a mélange of other interesting activities that will build their creative and social skills while keeping them productively engaged all throughout. 

Teach your children responsible usage of technology and load division - While you’re teaching your children how to use technology to stay productive and encouraging them to browse for added learning resources or inputs, make sure that you teach them responsible usage of technology and also to divide their time amidst multiple activities (both offline and online) that they have on a regular basis. Teach them how to plan out tasks for the day and complete each one with short breaks in between. Encourage them to accomplish milestones and goals which they can write down and tick off alongside. 

Memorising things - Teach your children how to memorise things and ideas that come to their mind and write them down or capture them. This will help in staying more productive and acting on ideas. 

More than anything else, you need to set an example to your children as well, by staying productive and honing your own interests and skills. Your children will naturally follow suit.

The scorching summer heat is at its peak, and the effect it has on our bodies and our moods requires remedial measures. The temperature keeps rising, and our skin is sucking the heat deeper into our bodies rather than helping us cool down. The worst is the occasional downpour that brings temporary relief and then layers the atmosphere with more humidity. All of this coupled with the pollution from the metro area, and going outside becomes nothing short of a living hell.

The brutal month of May, followed by scorching June and burning July, will consume us with the heat's ill effects. Don't let the temperature get you down, though. Use these simple tips to cool down like a pro.


Stay Hydrated
Summers tend to reduce your body fluids quickly. Drink water or juices at regular intervals, even if you do not feel thirsty, as thirst is a sign of dehydration. Plain water should be your best friend during these months, and stored in a Keepto Water Bottle to replenish your bodily fluids instantly. The 64oz water jug has a motivational quote and time marker to remind one to stay hydrated and drink enough water throughout the day.  The bottle is BPA and toxin, odour free and healthy for daily water drinking while being eco-friendly, leak proof and reusable. 


Eat Small Meals
Not only should you eat light, small, and frequent meals, but also you should add summer colours to your meals. Every meal you consume should have a rainbow of colours that are essentials for the needs of the human body. Include fruits at breakfast to help your skin cool naturally. Leafy vegetables and staple salad items are great, as they contain a significant amount of water, which also cools the body internally. Also keep that Keepto water bottle handy. 

Protect the Skin 
The best and easiest way to protect your skin from the heat is to wear loose clothing made from natural fabrics that facilitate sweating. If you are going out and about, ensure that you use a sunscreen to protect the skin against the harmful rays of the sun. Also, make use of sunglasses, hats, and light gloves to keep the sun away.

Shower Away
A simple way to cool the body is to shower as soon as you return home. The main idea here is to cool the body, so it is advisable to keep the water either cold or mildly warm, taking care to avoid showers with really warm or hot water. Take up a water-based activity like swimming or surfing to include a bit of exercise while beating the summer heat.

Stay Indoors
Restrict going outdoors, and step out only for your essential chores, either in the early morning or late evening, while spending the afternoon indoors. When indoors, try simple ways to keep the air naturally cool and use energy-efficient cooling gadgets that are well maintained and serviced regularly.

So how do you manage to keep cool and composed every summer? Share your favourite trick with me in the comments below.

Carrot Seed Essential Oil is the most underrated essential oils ever, however the human race is suddenly waking up to its immense benefits. One of the overlooked aspect of the oil is that it contains Carotene, Carotenoids and Vitamin A, which is very good for healthy skin, hair, gums and teeth. Also, it has a soft earthy smell that relieves stress and exhaustion, detoxifies and stimulates skin rejuvenation. Carotene creates a formative action on the epidermal cells that keeps wrinkles at bay and fights age spots.

With so many benefits, no wonder Carrot Seed Essential Oil has taken the beauty industry by storm and is making its presence felt in most products in the skincare and haircare ranges. Recently one of my favorite brands launched two new ranges of products - Goat Milk Range and Carrot Seed Range.

NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Face Wash
The Face Wash is infused with pure carrot seed extract and is naturally pH-balanced that not only cleans sweat, oil, pollution and grime, but also restores freshness of the delicate facial skin. Oleic acid and geranial in carrot seeds eases skin inflammation and inhibits enzymes that cause dermatitis. As a natural powerhouse of vitamin A, α, β and γ carotenes, and carotenoids, the face wash enables to have a youthful, healthy facial skin that fights off cell damage caused by free radicals, UV radiation and pollution.

NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hydrating Lotion
The Lotion is infused with pure carrot seed extract and is naturally pH-balanced that penetrates easily, nourishes deeply, tightens and rejuvenates the skin to give it a flawless look. The formula helps restore skin’s elasticity, making it plump, healthy and soft while the protein in the oil promotes new skin cell formation, reduces wrinkles and scars and removes free radicals.

NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Shampoo
The Shampoo s infused with pure carrot seed extract and is naturally pH-balanced that helps restore hair luster as it cleans scalp, reduces frizz, repairs split ends and soothes irritation and itching without washing away natural oil. As a natural powerhouse of vitamin A, α, β and γ carotenes, and carotenoids, the conditioner helps achieve shiny, healthy hair while preventing hair damage caused by free radicals, UV radiation and pollution.

NEUD Carrot Seed Premium Hair Conditioner
The Conditioner is infused with pure carrot seed extract and is naturally pH-balanced that helps moisturize hair, increase elasticity, improve texture and above all reduce split ends and breakage. As a natural powerhouse of vitamin A, α, β and γ carotenes, and carotenoids, the conditioner helps achieve shiny, healthy hair while preventing hair damage caused by free radicals, UV radiation and pollution.

All products from NEUD are clinically tested by renowned dermatologists and skin specialists making them 100% effective for skin and hair. The NEUD Carrot Seed is the most amazing range I’ve come across to help your skin and hair bounce back to its original avatar in a natural and organic way. I’m making this switch and if you are I would highly recommend you to try the new NEUD range, check https://neud.co.in/ for product availability.

One of the most magical fashion essentials today is shape wear, that helps smoothens out every unflattering bulge on your body. Its almost like someone has photoshopped your body in real life making it red carpet ready every single time you wear it. However, as this garment makes it to every closet in the world, an impending issue about the arrays of styles and fabrics make it complicated to pick. So the dilemma that everyone faces is which fit will work best for your body, which, which style will compliment your wardrobe and which fabric will iron out your look. 

I have earlier written about the fit and style of shape wear that needs to be considered, and so today I tackle an important question…. the fabric of the shape wear that is very important as it plays a huge role in comfort and benefit of the article. 
Feelingirl Lycra Backless Shapewear Butt Lifter Slimming Bodysuit
Seamless:
Just as the name type, seamless shape wear blends into your clothing like skin to give you comfort and confidence all day long. The best slimming bodysuit are seamless as they not only hide the bulges and make the edges smoother but also are extremely breathable.
Feelingirl Seamless High Waisted Tummy Control Panties Best Shapewear Under Dress
Silicone Lining: 
No matter what part of the body is needed to be shaped, silicon lining offers undetectable edges with no curls while holding the garment firmly in place. All types of shape wear including tummy tuckers and thigh shapers are available with silicone lining which will make you feel confident in every move. 
Feelingirl Women Arm Compression Post Surgery Front Closure Bra
Xtra Stretch: 
One of the best fabrics to opt for is the Xtra Stretch with a healthy mix of Spandex and Elastic. This fabric is mostly used in waist trainer shorts as it can be stretched repetitively and recover its original shape. There will not be any case of the shape wear becoming overstretched or sassy over time. 

Having said that, every body is beautiful in itself and yet we choose to see how unsatisfying it is to our own eye. And as body makeup, shape wear surely stands out and helps boost your body confidence. Most of my shape wear is from FeelinGirl and I picked my shapewear after reading some amazing FeelinGirl reviews online, so just trust me and just pick up the best products available for their website.
