Stay Chic, Stay Stylish!!

Hiya, Good Morning people. Well practically it’s dawn but after spending the last five hours in tossing and turning in my bed I decided to give up and start my day early (Really early). So I sprung out of my bed at 3:55 A.M, opened my drawers and fished out this beautiful coral-coloured nail paint which I just bought the other day and varnished my nails. Then idly I started browsing through Daily Mail on my laptop and came across an article about beauty secrets of French women (aka how French women stay chic and young throughout their lives). To be honest half of the “secret” mentioned there were either too tiresome, expensive or simply waste of time. So I though why not write down the list of the things (in general) which women can do to look impeccable at any point of time. So here it is:

- Never wear ill-fitted undergarments. Undergarments are as important as your dress. The shape/size of undergarment can make or break your look so choose wisely and rightly.

- No matter how tired you are when you returned home after attending your best friend’s wedding, night out or from business meeting, always always remove your make-up with good make-up remover before going to the bed. Surely you don’t want to wake up next day with bad break out and blotches on your skin.

- Always moisturise your skin after bath. Keep a pot of hand cream in your purse and apply it after every hand wash.

- Never leave the house with minimal make-up. Tinted moisturiser, kohl, single coat of mascara and some lip-gloss is sufficed to get you through the day.

- If you don’t have time for painting your nails then keep the buffer handy. File your nails and give it a good buff and voila you will have healthy looking nails in just 5 minutes.

- If your nail paint is chipped then remove it immediately.

- If you have dry hair then wash your hair twice in a week and if you have really oily scalp like mine that wash your hair four times in a week and if you don’t have time for wash then apply some dry shampoo. It works wonders.

- Drink loads and loads of water as it will flush out all the toxins out of your body and will leave your skin radiant.

- Introduce some raw veggis and salads in your food as it will keep any bloating or puffiness away.

- Work out for at least 30 minutes to stay fit and healthy.

- If you have got swollen or puffy eyes because of late night then use refrigerated cucumber or tea bags to get instant relief.

- Last but not the least never go anywhere without checking yourself in the mirror, fix whatever is a miss. AND please don’t step out without confidence.

Follow these simply tips and I promise that there won’t be a day when you’ll look anything less than impeccable. Stay chic, stay stylish! x

Single Girl In The City !

Yes. This is what it’s all about. This is what Bridget Jones is all about. A girl in her thirties, with few wobbly bits, one giant granny pants and couple of friends lives in the city and works in the office where she has fallen for totally wrong guy-a moron.

This is the first every chick-lit book I had read. This is the first ever chick-flick I had ever watched. This book introduced me to the genres chick-lit and chick-flick. Even today whenever I feel bit rundown it’s my “go-to” book/comfort movie. The reason why I feel so comfortable and confident with Bridget Jones around me is because she is a woman like you and me. In my life so far I haven’t come across one woman, single woman who didn’t like this book or loved its movie adaptation.

Though I have met few guys who wonder that what girls love so much about this book/movie because as per them it just tells an average story of an average woman. Tell you what, there is nothing average about it. Every girl identifies with Ms. Jones and I have a good list of reasons to prove this:

- Every girl falls for some bastard or total loser at least once in her life time.

- Every girl has had her heart broken. (Normally more than once)

- Every girl fills her mouth with tons of ice-cream and chocolate as a way of mending her broken heart.

- Every girl has her fair share of wobbly bits.

- Every girl has a pair of spanx tucked in the back of her closet. (She will never confess)

- Every girl feels that she is few pounds over her ideal weight. (Even if she weights 8lbs)

- Every girl has received some embarrassing gifts from her parents. (A stupid skirt, ugly skirt or horrible jumper)

- Every girl hates her mother as much as she loves her. (It’s complicated!)

- Every girl wants a man like Mr. Darcy.

- Every girl doesn’t get a man like Mr. Darcy.

Few of my favourite scenes and quotes from the movie:

And They Lived Happily Ever After….?

Lately I have been super busy in attending bucket loads of wedding ceremonies and receptions and trust me you have no idea how much I love weddings. Beautiful cloths, breathtaking jewellery, scrumptious food, lavish ceremonies, music, dancing, laughing, eating…every single thing about wedding is my favourite. Soon everything comes to an end when one bid adieu to bride and groom who are already dreaming about their amazing new life together.

Time passes and one day you get a call at 8o’clock in the morning which literally made you jump out of the bed. It’s your friend, screaming, sobbing, yelling, shouting and muttering. “This is hell” she yells and all you could think is “huh”? This is the same girl who was the happiest girl on whole of the plant just couple of months back, this is the same girl who danced more than anyone else on her bachelorette and this is the same girl who announced a night before wedding “This is the best thing ever happened to me”. So why is she yelling that it’s so hard to manage everything? Why is she sobbing and muttering this is the worst decision I had ever made? Why is she screaming that what the fuck I’m doing here when I should have been on my way to that big meeting with my boss?

Let me say what I have observed in most of these bucket loads of weddings: This girl signed up for the wedding not for the marriage! (Yup! You heard me right). This girl thought that life was actually a fairy tale! SHUT UP! Beautiful cloths, breathtaking jewellery, scrumptious food, lavish ceremonies, music, dancing are the things which come with wedding. Adjustment and compromise are what marriage demands. A marriage needs your time, patience, love and care. You are no singleton now. You can’t sneak out for drink with your friends as and when you want. You absolutely have to manage the pile of dirt laundry and meeting with your boss, all in one day. Wake up girl! You are no Cinderella who is going to stay in a palace full of maids and servants. It’s real life for fuck sake! Stop complaining and work towards your relationship.

There is no happy ever after because life doesn’t end when a man aka prince marry a woman aka princess. It happens only in movies. Real life starts from here and real life fulls of up and downs, failure and success, happy and sad moments. No one can be happy each and every day. Every day is different. Take it as it comes and you'll see that life is so much more beautiful and difficult than what you have imagined!

AND girl whatever you do.. DON’T fucking call me at 8 o’clock in the morning. It’s a bad time to talk to anyone who is suffering from insomnia and who manages to doze off at 5: 30 A.M!

Happy Holi!

Hey People! How are you doing? Me? Well I am doing fabulous because it’s the time of the year where I can actually paint my face with as many colours as I want and move around with my head held high without the care in the world and the best part is that nobody is gonna laugh on me. Why should they? After all it’s Holi and it gives me a right to put fuchsia pink in not only my hair but your hair as well and dance into the water without being cared to called pervert.

I love festivals be it any, my religion or some other religion because it is my excuse to try my hands in making sweets and cuisines and eating my heart out! HA!

Keeping my blabbing aside, Here I am wishing you and your family a very Happy and Colourful Holi.

“May god fill your life with colors and give your dreams the wings so beautiful….”

Trying to fill in the blank!

Hello! Hello! I am so sorry because lately I have been out of the touch with my lovely readers and I do feel guilty about that. BUT trust me you guys have no idea that how difficult these last few days were for me. I am doing nothing but trying to do:

1)      Write a new novel (While waiting to hear the reply from few publications regarding my first novel)

2)      Write this gorgeous short-story for Belinda Travel’s Sunloungers  Short Story Competition (Which I had written in less than 36 hours and next morning deleted all the 5,345 words in less than 36 seconds)

I am going through that phase where I have so many adorable ideas and believable, relatable characters, I have words, I have thoughts but what is missing is that emotional connect with my story. This is the reason which is why I have spent last one week in writing and deleting, writing and deleting, writing and deleting. It feels like that I am stuck in some sort of writer’s block.

Now I am seriously trying to work the things out and I am sure that in a day or two I’ll be there. All I need right now is may be some time to sit and think (but not in front of my laptop because blank pages are terrifying). I am trying to bring out my emotions and passions and put them in words, words which will make people fall in love.  

WISH ME LUCK!

P.S: If you have any suggestion to help me in filling this vacuum than feel free to leave a comment below or email me. xx
