Beauty blogger and writing about heart disease? I know the combination sounds weird. But heart health is a topic that has been close to my heart ever since I lost my mom to heart attack. Death of a loved one can hurt even after 20 years. Even if you think you have buried it deep inside, the intensity of pain can strike anytime.

The dressing preferences have changed a lot over time for Indian women. Their wardrobe has been revamped with different types of western wear but still traditional outfits have their own unique corner in the closet.

When it comes to special occasions and functions, Indian women still prefer to adorn Indian ethnic wear, as no other outfit can enhance the natural beauty and charm of an Indian woman as a well draped saree or a nicely stitched salwar kameez set. Ethnic wear on women depicts charm, grace, poise, culture, elegance and dignity. Continue reading

Looking for ways to keep my hair shining and healthy during the winter season, I found this interesting write up: “6 Must Read Tips for Healthy Winter Hair” on a Home Shopping Network Site written by their beauty expert, Ann Colville Somma.
