Haircare is one of the most important and crucial aspect of everything beauty especially in the changing environment and very active lifestyles. My hair is my crowing glory along with being a major aspect of stress in my life. With numerous hair treatments over the years my hair has lost it’s elasticity, sheen and overall health. So now all my focus has been in enhancing the wellbeing of my hair not only from within but also from the outside.

Wella Professionals Launches The Elements Range, Range Review

And just as the Indian-Mumbai weather turned into its drier and harsher variant, Wella Professionals launched the ‘Elements’ range and I was one of the luck few #MumbaiBloggers who had direct access to the event and the products first-hand. The Elements Range of products are inspired by all things ‘Natural’ and keeping in tune with the theme the venue was thus decorated. The fact that the range is sulphate-free, paraben-free and with no artificial colorants made it a winner at first glance.

During the launch Dr. Kerstin Meyer-Lipp, Wella's Innovation Expert set up a mini-lab and took us through the correct way to using the newly launched products that are full of natural ingredients. The Elements range consists of the Renewing Shampoo, Lightweight Renewing Conditioner and Renewing Mask. The range is perfect for those who want to go in for a natural and healthy haircare regime as compared to any other to revitalise hair through nourishment and nature. Bollywood actress Nimrat Kaur was present to launch the range and made some hair-raising hair confessions and vouches for a more simpler more organic range of products.

Since the launch I’ve tried the product a couple of times and have found it to be strengthening hair and nourishing the hair roots as such that there is considerable less breakage and the overall hair looks shinier and healthier.

Since the products are Sulfate, paraben and artificial colorants free and infused with the NuTREE complex it enriches the hair texture with natural tree extract a powerful antioxidant which helps reduce free radical damage. NuTREE is sourced from Germany, and the natural tree extract has anti-irritant properties to balance and calm the scalp in case of sensitivity and allergies. I’ve seen visible difference in my hair texture and it’s given a bounce to my hair. 

Until next time,

Everyone has a few #TravelTales that keeps them going for a lifetime; either by way of a memory or a dream that keeps the traveller in them going. I too have loads of travel memories as I love to travel. Last year around this time I was invited by Gujarat Tourism to experience all about the #RannUtsav and blog about it. The trip has become a benchmark for all my travels with its gorgeous locales, amazing home-stays and above all piping hot and spicy Kutchi cuisine.

Share Your #TravelTalesWithTUI And The Stars of The Film Jugni

Though it hasn’t been a first for me in Kutch as it happens to be a place my ancestors hail from; it has by far been the best trip. There was so much I gained from it as a person and as a woman. It took me back to my roots in ways unimaginable. With a culture I had never experienced, with the people I had never met, with the customs I had never practiced I felt at home. The trip was the first time I was exposed to the traditional form of clothing; dance and music and I was surprised that I fit into it so beautifully. Just like this trip, #iCynosureTravels has many more gems in our travel kitty, and those need not be actual travels. Sometimes we travel just with a song we hear or a movie we watch. 

Over the years there have been so many songs that instantly connect me to a place or an adventure. And that's what happened to me during the music launch of the movie Jugni, starring Sugandha Ram and Siddhant Behl. When music maestros AR.Rahman and Vishal Bharadwaj took to the stage talking about the musical journey with Clinton Cerejo the film’s music composer; I actually travelled with them into the musical land. Travel is the storyteller in the movie that takes the protagonists on a musical journey of discovery to help reconnect with themselves.

As travel enthusiasts and #TravelBloggers, a few of us had an opportunity to talk about our #TravelTales and #DreamDestinations with the lead stars at the movie's Travel Partner TUI’s Mumbai Store. I shared my #TravelTalesWithTUI as I've already travelled to some of my dream destinations including Egypt, France and UK; expressing my desire to travel next to my dream destination New Zealand. 

Who knows I may get to go there with TUI!

And if you want a chance to go on a musical journey of self-discovery you must participate in the #TravelTalesWithTUI contest by sharing your travel journeys with them. 


If that's not enough to motivate you, listen to this song my newest #TravelSong and think again.

I've shared my #TravelTalesWithTUI. Have you? Will you?

Invest In Godrej Goldilocks, Home Safe

Memory slips are the worst things that can happen to anyone. I personally know how frustrating it is when I misplace my keys or the phone charger, or when I can’t remember where I’ve saved a document and with what name. More than the loss I regret the time I waste looking for it or trying to remember where I last kept it. It takes many precious moments from the day to rerun the schedule, retrace the steps and figure out where I would have kept it. I promise to be more vigilant, more careful and never be so absent-minded so as to misplace something, but it sometimes doesn't work. And trust me I am not the only one who is so forgetful; there are many who are equally absent-minded and hit by amnesia from time to time. Case in point my baby sister.

My little sister literally drives us all insane with her recurring episodes of forgetfulness that are absolutely maddening. This morning she frantically woke me up at an insane hour of 5.30am and started blabbering, “I woke up for my run but now I cannot find my iPod.” Ouch, I thought you're waking me up for your stupid iPod, go run without music today. She coaxed, threatened and finally pleaded with me to help her look for it and so we looked and looked and looked. We rummaged every drawer, flipped every cushion in the house and checked all charging plug points. But the little devil was nowhere to be seen; I wanted to scream, 'Go without it what’s the big deal'?

But she went on and on literally turning the house upside down and still nothing. Now it was almost 6.15am and all I wanted to do was to crawl back into bed when her monologue began.
Invest In Godrej Goldilocks, Home Safe

"Yesterday I came back from my run with my iPod and went for a shower. I got dressed and then had breakfast, soon after which I went to college. Once I came back I went up straight to my room and did some project work while listening to music. Just before dinner, I cleared my table and then after dinner, we went to sleep for a few hours. Where could it be?" 

As soon as I heard this, I went into her room picked her college bag and handed over her iPod from it. With a huge frown on my face, I went to my room and slept.

Over the years I’ve started to accept my shortcoming and devised a plan to keep at least my precious things safe and sound. Sometimes my tried and tested methods work and sometimes they don’t. And to counter those few instances when the method doesn’t work I’ve started to think about bringing the concept of an everyday locker system into use.

Godrej’s Goldilocks is India’s first-of-its-kind personal locker for everyday use to store your daily valuables like keys, credit cards, watch, wallet, and everything you think you tend to misplace. I think my forgetful sister and everyone like us would benefit from a locker like this to ensure we never misplace or lose any important and precious things and moreover don't trouble anyone else to find them. The advantage of the locker is that it’s compact and portable and a key to one's forgetfulness. 

Gold, isn't it?

Music Launch Of #Jugni A Film By Shefali Bhushan

As a music lover, the one thing that I look out for in an album is versatility; it could be lyrics, composition, genres, rendition and the voices. Very few albums boast of ticking all these boxes yet keeping the music the cynosure of it all. The very essence of the music albums must be to render quality hummable numbers that touch the soul. For Hindi music fanatics, the names A.R.Rahman, Vishal Bhardwaj, Rekha Bhardwaj and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are the epitome of music renditions and not brought together as yet.

Music Launch Of #Jugni A Film By Shefali Bhushan

Yes, as yet. But the unbelievable has been achieved by Music Composer Clinton Cerejo for writer-director Shefali Bhushan’s debut film Jugni. Jugni which means firefly in Hindi is a story of the free-flying spirit Vibhavari; a music director working on her first big break in the film industry. As the plot moves ahead she hits the road travelling all over the country in search of a voice that will stir souls. Her travels bring her to Bibi Saroop whose voice holds a promise that she is searching for. But as fate would have it, Mastana - Bibi's son becomes #TheVoice that finds a way into her heart. Striking balances, making tough decisions living through the unpredictabilities of life and finding home makes for the brightest flight.

Music Launch Of #Jugni A Film By Shefali Bhushan

Coming back from the film plot to the music launch; I was delighted to see the line-up of singers featured on the album. While most of the lyrics have been written by Shellee, the prayer song ‘Lakhon Salaam' sung by Rahman has been written and composed by Kaashif Sahib. The music has been recorded on Dolby Atmos that offers real-life audio experience and of utmost importance for a film like Jugni whose core is music. During the music launch, Shridhar Subramaniam of Sony Music and Ashim Mathur of Dolby Laboratories expresses their please to be part of the album that is a coup in itself with the talent that Clinton managed to bring together. All the songs are gloriously sung and filmed in authentic locations as well. My favourite track from the album it is a song of #TravelTales #‎DuggDuggiDugg‬ sung by #‎VishalBhardwaj‬, the first for him to sing outside his own musical direction.

A dream musical pull off with the biggest names in the music industry, Shefali in her debut film has managed what seasoned filmmakers only dream of. Talking about the two tracks she says, "The prayer song sung by Rahmanji comes at a significant, pious moment in the film when the male protagonist goes into a deep emotional space to reconnect with himself while the song DuggDuggi by Vishaliji has been sung with so much ethos it’s a delightful listen".

I’m going to sign off to let you be mesmerised by Vishaliji's voice …
