The beginning of a year is always the best time to start new things or set up new habits. And what could be better than delving into a self care vibe that’s free from any chemicals or artificial ingredients. The year 2019 is already witnessing a big moment for natural products.

About two months backs, at the start of this cold season to be precise, I was facing a really bad dull skin issue. My face looked drab with big pores, dark spots, and patchy skin. As if not enough, the fines around my mouth and between the brows too suddenly started to make their appearance felt like some planned conspiracy against my vanity!

Fearing for my complexion, while also desiring to try something new, as I always do, I decided to try the much raved about White Seed Brightening Skincare Range by the famous Korean beauty brand The Face Shop. I’d already heard some great reviews of this skincare line and it’s samples were lying with me untouched since Summer. Continue reading

If someone were to peek into my bathroom, they’d probably think they are peeping onto a shampoo aisle of a drugstore or a departmental store. It’s jam-packed with products! One true confession: When it comes to personal care items, I am an addict. Continue reading

Three blankets at night, heating pads being charged non-stop, hot cafe lattes doubling as hand defrosters…it’s still cold here in the North of the country! For the record – it feels so good. But this isn’t the subject for today’s blog post.

I’ll be honest with you, I wasn’t much into regular face masking, let alone taking time out for massage and salon facials. But now in my mid 30s with dull, winter-worn skin and multiple fine lines showing all over my face, I feel like I can’t say this enough – ladies, ladies, ladies…please take care of your skin early!

Because if you don’t, you might end up lamenting like me over the loss of your glow late in your 30s! Anyways, I’m not here to scare you or make you feel bad about something but rather take you into the glorious land of skincare, where you can’t help but feel good about your glowing skin.

This post is about a new facial kit that I’m currently using – Specifix Professional Butter Moist Kit by VLCC. So without wasting any more time in guilty admissions or far-fetched skincare dreams, I’d head straight to this day’s review: Continue reading

Although most people spend their entire lives pursuing happiness, very few have a deep understanding of what it’s all about. Many equate it to material possessions only to realize that they were wrong later on.
Watching the mannerisms of a young child, you can’t help but see their peace and happiness. What that should teach you is that unhappiness is not something you are born with. You learn it as you grow older. Fortunately, it is possible to find inner happiness even when you are older. Continue reading

Personal style and home decor style are not two things that people think of as being similar, but just because it’s two different types of style, that doesn’t mean that they don’t have any similarities.

That’s because that particular item was a reflection of their style. Continue reading

If you’re a regular reader of my blog you know I’m a big fan of French skincare and Korean beauty. But despite being a skincare afficianado and a beauty blogger, I must admit, I was pretty much unaware of the amazing benefits and effective technologies of Japanese beauty products.

A few months back, I happened to watch a viral video about a 50 year old Japanese model Masako Mizutani, who looks like a 20 year old. Fast forward, days of intensive market research and extensive studies, I made the discovery, J-beauty is as cutting-edge or in some ways even better than K-beauty! Continue reading
