Oh So Frustrating!! Summers Go Away!

Five Ways To Avoid Frustration In Summers:

It becomes very tough for all of us to stay calm in such heat. Extreme heat can actually be one of the reasons for your frustration at work or may be at home. Of course it is tough to handle when it becomes hot and you loose control over your emotions. There are ways by which you can exhale your anger and frustration.

Here are five best ways to avoid this summery feeling:

    Wear summer clothing: Avoid wearing heavy and dark shades of clothes. You’ll feel relaxed when you see yourself in the mirror wearing pastel colors and feel light yourself. Clothes that are fitted and hug your body can also be a reason for you bad mood in summers. Try clothes that are not very tight and can absorb your sweat quickly.

  Take shower twice a day: Its hot and you don’t want to smell bad, so take shower twice with normal water. I know it is tempting for all of us to take that bath in cold water but it would be a lot better and relaxing if you use warm water. Use your favorite body wash, you can try lemon or mint, they work best for summers.

 Cool drinks are your best friends in summers: Have a cool drink, well as many times you want. Fruit juices, shakes, ice teas are the best drinks you can have in summers to avoid the heat and relax yourself and get rid of that frustration. These cold drinks do some magic and just take away all your stress.

  Stay quiet: Yes this is again one of the ways you can avoid the feeling. If you are frustrated don’t just spell it out on someone, after all you are not the only one who is hot in this weather, taking it out on someone will only create more stressful situations for you. Stay quiet and listen to some soft music or the one that you think can distract you from the heat.  

Pamper yourself : Ah! What could be better than pampering yourself. You know the best way to relax your mind and body is to take a massage. Open up your eyes, I know what feeling you get when you get that massage. Go to a saloon and get a nice hair cut to feel the cool around you. Have some facials look good and feel good. Trust me all your heat will go off when you see your glowing skin. Another way to pamper yourself is to sleep, take a nap in the afternoon, am so sure with the laziness that we get in the day time, the thought of sleeping feels so good.

Surely after doing the suggested methods to release your frustration. Try these as and when you feel sad or frustrated and be released and enjoy life. Stay cool.

Summer Wedding Tips

It is certainly the best day of a girl’s life when she gets married to the prince she has dream't of. I actually cannot explain the feeling in words. All I can say is that I danced on the dhol in my own barat hiding from all the guests wearing my dream pretty wedding dress. It was winters, and the weather was cold in Jaipur (Rajasthan).

Summer can also become a beautiful time to get married, at the same time you need to be really careful. It’s important to stay cool and not let you make up flow with u sweat.

Here are a few steps to follow to keep fresh at a summer wedding:

 Try wearing light, airy, flowing and a light colored dress. Choose the fabric that keeps  you cool. There are wedding dresses available in market which look heavy and bridal wear but are actually very comfortable to wear in summers.

  Sticky hair would be the last thing that you would want to happen to your look. Tie your hair to keep your neck cool, allowing you to stay fresh all day long.

  Drink lots of water is a must, have juices etc. Do not eat heavy. It’ll keep your skin glowing.

  Keep your make light and subtle.

  Keep fresh wipes, deo and other touch up necessities in your purse.

        

   

  Always keep touch up handy in your bag, like bindi ( they might shed due to sweat, lip color,powder etc.)

  Take quick bites time to time.

Just keep in simple in short. Look trendy and love yourself.

The Wedding Bling.

The wedding season has arrived, and so are summers. The color for this summer is Pink, try new variety of pink this summer to look trendy as well as traditional. You can also try to experiment with Greens,Yellows and Cream this season, mix it with a little Gold to add the bling .

For the jewelry, Kareena Kapoor has always impressed me with her jewelry, be it the Chammak Challo look from Ra-One or her latest release Agent Vinod. She has used minimum pieces and yet looked stunning. The big nose pin and the bold red bindi did wonders to her look.

Recently Kareena Kapoor was spotted in a media event wearing a cool green dress with a very traditional neck piece with her hair tied at the back, she looked stunning.

Same goes with Kangna Ranaut, looking super stunning in a short black dress with a beautiful pearl neck piece. The Dior hand bag and the hair do complimented her even more.

Pink Cream and Gold wedding  blings for 2012,try them out this season.

The fresh bright colors are really in for this wedding season.

Happy Feet :)

Its summer time again and I'm sure with the latest trends to follow, you would also want your feet also look awesome . Here is a cool way of doing a pedicure at home. All you need is a basin to soak your feet, polish remover, nail clipper, cuticle cream, foot scrub, foot moisturizer, and you are good to go. To start with, cut your nails as per your choice of length(toe length suggested) and soak them into warm water with salt and shampoo of your choice. You can also add some lemon juice into it, sit comfortably for 15-20 minutes. Dry them with a fresh towel.

Put some cuticle cream on the base of each nail and leave it for some time, by that time use a foot filer or a pumice stone remove the dead skin. Remove the cuticle cream and push the cuticles gently. Now its time for my favorite part of a pedi, the scrubbing. Start scrubbing your feet and give them a gentle massage. You'll love it.

Wipe the scrub off your feet wash them with fresh water and put some moisturizer and again do a massage till your feet absorb it.

Use a toe separator to put your favorite nail paint. Style your feet with a beautiful anklet and flaunt them.
