  • Problems every Delhiite faces on a normal day

    Problems every Delhiite faces on a normal day

    There’s no two ways about the fact that Delhiites are very proud of the city they live in. They have great malls to shop at and amazing places to eat at but like every other place in the world, Delhi comes with its own set of problems too. Don’t believe us? Take a look at these few problems every Delhiite faces on a normal day, well almost.

    #1) Traffic

    Every Delhiite is aware of what’s coming their way when they leave their workplace or home. Delhi traffic has killed more plans than a sudden change in weather.

    #2 Pollution

    That moment when you step out of your car and breathe in a fresh whiff of air only to realise that you are choking on an LIIT of various toxic gases in the air.

    giphySource

    #3 Parking

    Delhiites loves their vehicles whether it’s a bike or a car. But, things get real when you realise that there is no place to leave them other than the reserved parking spot outside your house. And this problem starts before you start working, early on in the day paving way for the other problems that are waiting for you.

    #4 Driving

    This is what Delhi is known for, its reckless way of driving.  To hell with the traffic lights and the brakes we have in our vehicles. Till the time you haven’t pissed someone off on the road, you haven’t done it right. 

    giphy (1)Source 

    #5 Basic etiquettes

    Most Delhiites have forgetten the meaning of basic etiquettes like holding the door open for the person behind you, or letting pedestrians cross the road first. It’s more like quid pro quo here. People are too busy (sometimes scared) to help the needy. 

    tumblr_mbradrp1gg1qbgu0jo1_500Source

    #6 Eve-teasing

    Walk around with your female friend at the busiest, most chilled out places Delhi has to offer and chances are you will hear a voice singing a cheap song for her. That’s when you know, Delhi has welcomed you.

    #7 Encountering the age old “Jaanta Hai Mera Baap Kaun Hai?” type of people

    This breed of egoistic morons is very easy to find. Just bump up into someone’s vehicle and that’s it.

    #8 The Delhi Metro

    We like people. Having them around is nice. But travelling in the Delhi Metro is an experience on its own. We take pride in the fact that Delhi has an amazing system for public transport but the pushing, the stepping on each other’s feet and not maintaining the right distance with your fellow passengers makes it slightly unpleasant.

    giphy (3)Source 

    #9 Arguing with the Autowalas

    If you think it’s easier for Delhiites to travel, sorry to break this to you, it isn’t true. Many people prefer auto over other means of transport but it’s not always easy to find a ride home that too at a reasonable price. One has to argue till they drop and at times, pay more than they are supposed to.

  • Trend alert: Strobing is the new contouring

    Trend alert: Strobing is the new contouring

    Contouring has been around for a while now and we all love it, thanks to Kim Kardashian for making it popular. Sadly, it is intense and difficult to master and involves heavy blending of light and dark shades to create the illusion of more defined features. Fret no more, here’s everything you need to know about the latest anti-contouring technique: Strobing.

    Popular in France, strobing is all about the natural dewy, glowing complexion and highlighting your natural features using highlighters. Strobing focuses on the areas where natural light hits on your face and applying a highlighter to amplify it. Ditch those expensive colour palettes and pick up a simple highlighter to master this art. Strobing is less time consuming and doesn’t make your face look cakey.

    How to master strobing?

    It’s all about brightening up your face and creating a dewy glow. Here’s how you can master the art of strobing with these easy steps.

    Step 1 – Start by preparing your skin the right way. Add a little bit of luminizer into your moisturiser for a brighter look all over and then use a primer to neutralise redness or dark spots.

    Step 2– Apply a lightweight illuminating foundation for even skin like YSL’s Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation.

    Step 3– Apply a dash of blusher and keep rest of the makeup minimum and natural.

    Step 4– Dab a highlighter (like Mac’s Strobe Cream or Benefit’s High Beam Highlighter) on the high points of your face where natural light hits the most, onto the apples of your cheeks, the bridge of your nose, centre of your forehead and your cupid’s bow to highlight the main areas of your face.

    Step 5– Seal the luminosity with a translucent setting powder such as Nars light reflecting pressed setting powder.

    wpid-screenshot_2015-06-24-16-44-56-1Source

    You can also build up the intensity of the highlights by layering both cream and powder highlighters. Make sure that you blend the products well to avoid blobs of product.

  • Spectre to be Sam Mandes’ last Bond movie

    Spectre to be Sam Mandes’ last Bond movie

    After delivering one of the best Bond movies, Skyfall director Sam Mandes confirmed that Spectre is going to be his last association with the Bond movies. He said in an interview to BBC Radio’s Test Match Special, “I don’t think I could go down that road again, you do have to put everything else on hold”, finishing off by telling how a Bond movie is “really more a lifestyle choice than a job”.

    He also shed light on the theme song for the movie stating that it’s ready but didn’t let the name of the artist or the song out.  In addition, he said that viewers “won’t have to wait long”. As of now we just know that the song will hit the stands sometime around October.

    Must see: Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj’s Twitter war is making headlines and how!

    It’s that time of the year when nominations go in for the MTV Video Music Awards! Sadly, this time it didn’t go very well for the pop diva Nicki Minaj.

    Capture1

    Nicki recently blamed Taylor Swift on Twitter about not being nominated for the video of the year category for her song Anaconda at the VMA’s! Now now, that’s unfair!

    Here’s what she tweeted.

    Capture1

    Upon this, Taylor Swift reciprocated with a (sorta) dejected tweet saying:

    Capture2

    Minaj also ‘felt’ to be a victim of slight racism with the award nomination process as she claimed that ‘other kind of artists’ always take away the rewards by tweeting this!

    Capture3 Capture4

    And then the rest is history! Take a look at these others tweets by the divas.

  • Skin care myths that you need to know now!

    Skin care myths that you need to know now!

    There are a whole lot of myths and misconceptions out there in the falsehood when it comes to skincare, and sometimes it’s difficult to tell fact from fiction. Skin care myths have been around since centuries and everyone has their own set of beliefs. The only way to get good skin is to take good care of it on a daily basis by keeping your skin clean and moisturised all the time. Here are a few common skin care myths debunked.

    Myth #1 If you have oily skin you should not moisturise

    Skin produces excess oil as a defence mechanism for keeping it clean. Lightly moisturising the skin keeps the skin soft & supple but also helps in regulating the excess oil.

    Myth #2 One should exfoliate only once in two weeks

    The number of times one should scrub is completely up to you. Scrubbing removes dead skin and makes it look bright and soft.

    Myth #3 You don’t need sunscreen on cloudy days

    Sunscreen is a must as it also provides protection from ultraviolet rays and should be applied on any given day.

    Myth #4 Botox can prevent wrinkles

    Theoretically yes, but no long-term studies support this myth. Using sunscreens and keeping up proper skin care are still the most reliable and certainly less expensive methods to fight wrinkles.

    Myth #5 Skin should feel tight after washing your face

    Skin should feel fresh, soft and supple and at ease, if it feels tight after washing, you are probably using a hard cleanser that might be drying out your skin more.

  • Skin care tips for monsoon

    Skin care tips for monsoon

    After being tormented by the heat of the Sun, and the scorching summer days, monsoon is finally here! But while we enjoy the pitter-patter of the drizzle, the damp, humid weather wreaks havoc on our skin. With a few clever quick fixes you can continue to look your flawless best even in this sultry season. Here are some skin care tips to keep your skin looking fresh and fabulous even in the rains.  

    DRY SKIN

    Dryness occurs due to lack of vitamins which are essential to keep dry & damaged skin at bay. Here are a few tips to help you combat this problem.

    1) Drink lots of water to keep yourself hydrated. This cleanses the skin and removes all the unwanted toxins.

    2) Before going to bed, wash your face with a mild cleanser, then dab rose water all over your face and finally apply glycerin. It works like a miracle. It not only hydrates your skin but also gives a healthy glow.

    3) Use a mild cream-based cleanser.

    4) Do not use alcohol-based products as they tend to dry out the skin further.

     1-Dry-skinSource

    OILY SKIN

    There’s nothing much one can do to get rid of oily skin. You can only take small steps that will gradually reduce the oiliness on your face. Try the following:

    1) Wash your face at least three times a day with a foam-based cleanser.

    2) Scrub your face at least once a week to open clogged pores.

    3) It’s always advisable to wash your face with luke warm water as it dissolves oil better.

    4) Use home remedies such as a face pack made of chick-pea flour and milk or lemon and honey to rejuvenate your skin.

    COMBINATION SKIN

    This skin type is categorized by an oily T-zone and drier cheeks. Since it is a combination of two skin types, it has to be treated separately. The dry area has to be gently cleansed whereas the oily area has to be deeply cleansed. Here are a few tips:

    1) Drink lots of water as this is the best way to attain healthy skin.

    2) Always dab your face dry instead of rubbing it as this makes the skin look rough and patchy.

    3) Always use a gentle cleanser and apply a homemade face mask of milk and honey regularly.

    4) Scrub your face twice a week.

    Fuel your fitness regime with these power foods

    You have to eat the right foods to fuel your workout. Before you get set to hit the gym, you may want to re-consider your diet. Sometimes unknowingly we eat things that instead of helping our workout go against it. The result is… well… no result, even hours after sweating it out!

    Balance is the key. You can’t run on an empty stomach or even stuff yourself after your workout.

Here is a list of food items that get the best out of your workout.

    Pre-workout Food

    1) Greek Yogurt– Greek yogurt is high on protein and is easy to digest. It is great if you’re going to follow it up with a high-intensity cardio workout.

    It’s very important to be impeccably dressed at work especially when you have a job that involves meeting clients on a regular basis. The normal dress code for work is professional and women generally tweak it a bit to suit their personal style which is great. However, sometimes we tend to cross that thin line between professionally fashionable to erm… just uncomfortably fashionable. Don’t know what we are talking about? Here is a list of fashions rules every woman should follow at work to keep her style in line with work ethics.

    1) Understand your industry’s etiquettes

    It’s imperative that you understand the kind of attire that’ll make you look professional in your own field; for instance a corporate lawyer would not like to dress as a fashion editor. But some simple rules apply everywhere for women. It’s best to avoid short hemlines, plunging necklines, exposed under garments, body hugging clothes and heels that are too tall. Work is not a place where you should be remembered for a deep cleavage or short dresses. Keep it simple and be a lady.

    2) Get the right fit

    Not just at work but otherwise too, women should always wear clothes that fit right. Wearing clothes that are too tight or too loose just reflect how comfortable you are in your conduct. If you are one of those lucky few who lose weight very easily, we recommend finding a good neighbourhood tailor and getting your clothes altered from time to time.

    3) When in doubt, go for pumps

    Footwear plays a very important role in dressing up for work. Sharp and clean footwear reflects a sharp personality and that’s the only one thing you need the most at work. If you’re ever confused about your footwear for work, go for pumps in black and nude but remember that sky-high pumps are not what you need at work. Go for heels that are maximum at 3.5 inches.

     4) Wear the right accessories

    Wear a watch, small earrings and maybe a delicate neckpiece if you are a jewellery-lover. Do not load up on accessories and make it look like you are about to topple over the weight of your jewels.

    5) Hair

    Although women have a lot of hairstyling options to work with, the one important thing to keep in mind is that they are cut well and clean. Never, we say never, go to work with wet hair and water dripping all over your clothes. If you don’t find time to dry your hair in the morning, let them air dry on your way to work and tie them up in a bun or a ponytail.

    6) Makeup

    When it comes to makeup at work, lesser is better. Avoid putting a heavy face on and dark lip colours, we’re at work not at a lipstick convention. Wear neutral shades of eyes, lips and nail colours and use a light foundation or concealer if you need coverage.

    7) Act your age

    You don’t want to be dressing up like your daughter at work or in general. Act your age and dress like it at work. Women need to be equally equipped to handle crisis at work during the day as well as having a glass of wine later for a work meeting. Understand that and dress your best.

    8) Invest in timeless basics

    Every woman must have a black dress, a well-tailored navy/black pinstripe suit, a crisp white shirt and a pair of black trousers. Wear any of these when in doubt, it saves you time and makes you look effortlessly chic.

    Fashion rules every man should follow at work

    “The men of the world! You have the right to remain silent and read below!” The fashion police are here! You may be pretty confident about the way you dress at work (who isn’t?), but there are several other very important things every guy should keep in mind while dressing up for office!

    Take a look at this crisp list of Fashion rules every man should follow at work!

    1. Getting the right fit

    Knowing the right size of the clothes you wear is extremely crucial. A slouchy ensemble or an over-fitted outfit is bound to reflect unappealingly on your personality.

    2. Avoid low waist bottom wear

    If you want to look professional enough for people to take you seriously, stay away from low waist trousers and denims at work! It is plain wrong.

    3. When in doubt, go for brogues

    Brogues are the must-have classics for men! If you’re unsure about what shoes to pick with those trousers you’ve recently bought, go for brogues. They come in different colours and are sure to make your dapper look stand out!

    4. Wear the right accessories

    The right cufflinks and a cool watch are just about enough when it comes to accessorising for men! Remember, don’t overdo your accessories. Bracelets and neck pieces are meant for women!

    5. Watch your hair

    Looking sharp is the key and your hairstyle at work adds a lot to it. Spending an extra 5 minutes on your hair so it looks neat and sharp is a must for every guy out there. Shabbily kept hair is a huge turn off for the people around you!

    6. Invest in timeless basics

    Something like a grey suit and a black tie will never go out of fashion. Even a pastel coloured polo tee works just fine when it comes to business casuals. It’s time to invest in such clothes! Remember – it’s not always good to follow the trends because they eventually die! Opt for style that makes you feel most at comfort and boost your confidence.

    7. Button up

    Yea yea, we know you’re a man. But flaunting your chest hair with that unbuttoned shirt on the top would not take you anywhere. The only button that needs to be open (if you’re not wearing a tie) is the first button below the collar!

    8. Act your age

    No matter what you wear, if you don’t have the right attitude to carry it – the whole point gets defeated! Remember to act according to your age and keep the swag on!
