Go Green!



Recently, I fulfilled one more point off my Bucket List - Planted some home green plants.



My window garden



Global warming is increasing at an alarming rate and the rising swelter is getting a little unbearable as every day passes by. My 2018 resolution was to add more plants to my bedroom window.

The pots consist of:

A. Rose plant - that requires daily watering and fertilizer.
B. An indoor plant.
C. Money Plant.
D. Hibiscus Flower.



Why do I stress on the point of a plant nursery?

1. Having plants around means more fresh oxygen.
2. You are connected with nature right from your home window.
3. You take a step towards saving the Earth and reducing the effects of climate change.
4. Having some greenery around also adds color to the interiors.





You can also take steps towards sustainability:

1. Plant at least one flower pot in your house. You can also have an indoor plant or succulent that do not require watering on a daily basis.
2. Try to save energy and electricity on an individual level. Charity begins at home!
3. As India has taken a step towards curbing the usage of plastics, try to use recycled plastic or cloth bags for shopping.
4. Take care of the environment you live in. Do not dirty and do not litter.
5. Do not overcharge electronic items.


I would also request you to think about the birds in this scorching heat. Try to have a bowl of water laid for them to quench their thirst.


Go Green!


You can also go green with natural beauty products. If you want to know the products I use, do read my blog here:

Beauty products I use

Touch-up! Touch-up! Every girl requires beauty products in their life. From a lip gloss to a foundation to what not. There are so many products that anyone would be astonished. So I am listing certain products that I use (some very rarely).  I love to keep it simple every day. Since it is winter, I rely on Nivea and Vaseline products. 1. Nivea's Strawberry Shine is great for lip care. It gives a strawberry shade and also a little shine on the lips. It can also be used during summer and it is really great. Price:  ₹ 150. Nive Strawberry Shine 2. I have recently bought Coloressence Liplicious Gloss. I have never tried this product before but I absolutely love it. I have taken a pretty pink shade and it's Amazing!!! It also moisturizes the lips. What else does a girl need? Price:  ₹  350. If you buy it from Crawford Market (Beauty Center) or the one just opposite Grant Road Station (W), you might get a 10% OFF.

Aloe Vera to the RESCUE!!!

Aloe Vera How to get your skin naturally glowing pimple-free? Apply aloe vera.  It is the most natural moisturizer you can find. It is easy to grow in your homes as well.  What you need is  Aloe vera gel, fresh from the plant. Cut one leaf and cut out any thorns on them. Apply directly to the skin. It dries off easily and is light-weight on the skin. Keep it for like half an hour (or more as per your requirement) and remove with just water.  After this procedure, you will feel your skin refreshed and glowing. You can even apply aloe vera gel to your hair. It is best to provide softness and moisturization. For this, you can cut a few leaves, take out the pulp and grind it in the grinder. Then boil the gel with oil and store. You can use it for a longer time. If you do have tips regarding any natural home-made beauty tips, then please go forward and share.

Struggles of being a SHORTY!

Boho chic Being a shorty sometimes can be a menace... When you are young and if you have a sibling, you are happy that you have height. But once you hit puberty and your height doesn't increase, there starts all the taunts and teasing. Even your younger sibling would have height.  I myself had a great height when young but now only 5 ft, being the shortest among family and friends. The only advantage is standing in front for all photos and selfies.  Some struggles that I can list is: 1. People telling you to increase your height 2. Needing a tall guy (your selfie stick) to click great selfies 3. Always needing to look up while talking 4. People using you for support or to lean on 5. Being called a child every time 6. Getting advice to wear heels 7. Tiptoeing 8. Never find the right size for clothes or shoes 9. People doubting the way you drive 10. Getting lost in the crowd Some great advantages: 1. Being called "cute" 2. Always ahead for phot...
