Get set to splash

The playfulness this festival entails makes us forget about our anxieties and makes us relive the youthfulness, the fun side of us. Get set to splash with the brightest colours of holi.

How you are going to style the whites this holi?  White makes the perfect background to showcase all the rainbow colours. White is the colour that keeps the spirit of holi alive. Grab different bright colours with open arms like the way white does. Always wear something that you won’t regret even if it gets spoiled in the colour splash.

Have a look at few picks that may interest you:

Salwar/ churidar and kameez – Go the ‘bollywood way’. Pick a white kameez pair it with a churidar or salwar like our bolly heroines do in many of the holi songs. Go for a full white ensemble that will show off the Holi colours brilliantly.

 Kurti & palazzo - If complete white is too boring then combine whites with prints to create some interesting combination. Palazzo is very much in trend these days. It’s comfortable and you can look trendy this holi.

Shorts & tops/shirts - Use your imagination and go crazy, after all it is Holi – the festival of colours! Everybody remembers ‘balam pichkari’. I just love the way deepika styled herself in cute hot pants and a red shirt. Yes of course go ahead and pair white with red or yellow or anything bright, Even its bright, who cares, it’s holi!

Some tips to play safe :

1. Oil your skin and hair before the play.

2.Protect your nails from being coloured, coat them with nail paints.

3.Use a sunglass to protect your eyes from a misfire of colour.

4.Use sunscreens 30 minutes before you start playing holi, dyes in the colours makes the skin vulnerable to sun burns, darkening and rashes.

5.Do not scrub before washing off the colours, instead use cleanser or baby oil.

Have A Happy & Colourful Holi..!!

DIY : FIGHT BODY ODORS

Are you a smelly baby?? Do people stay away from you calling you 'stinky'? Do people gift you deodorants on your birthdays?? If the answer is 'Yes'..then you are gripped by the most unlikable thing- Body Odor!!

Body odor a huge embarrassment and awkward moment for many. And now that the summers are here, its difficult to stay sweat free. Body odor can really harm your confidence and social life. Even after using deodorants and antiperspirants few people still face the problem. What's the solution?

Three glands are responsible for body odor apocrine glands, eccrine glands and sebaceous glands. The best way to prevent body odor and sweat is to wash away bacteria thoroughly and regularly.

What cause body odor?
- Wrong diet, gorging upon spicy food, fungal infection, lack of hygiene, zinc deficiency, alcoholism and lot many reasons causes body odor.

Remedies to eliminate body odor :
1. Avoid Spicy Food: 

Certain foods have the potential to make our sweat more pungent. We don't fully digest garlic onion curry, they leave the pores open with the sweat and create a strong smell.

2.Tea tree oil: 

It is a bacteria killing agent. Dilute tea tree oil and rub some on the underarms. Go for a patch test before applying it.

3. Lemon:

Citric acid not only kills bacteria but also whitens underarms. Rub a slice of lemon on underarms before shower.

4.Vinegar: 

Use white vinegar on cotton balls and apply on arm pits. You can also store it in a spray bottle making it easier to use.

5.Baking Soda: 

Mix baking soda and lemon juice to form a paste. Apply this on underarms, wash it off after 10 minutes. It acts as a natural deodorant.

6.Alcohol: 

While bathing add alcohol to a mug of water, rinse your underarms, this reduces pH of the skin and eliminates odor.

7.Keep it clean: 

Wax your underarms regularly. Hair slows sweat evaporation. It is very essential to keep your underarms clean.

8.Wear breathable clothing: 

Its very important to watch what you are wearing in summers. Wear natural fibers that can breathe and decrease sweating.

I hope few of these tips work for you, if you know more to combat body odor, will be happy to hear you. Do let me know in the comments below.

Stay odorless this summer :)

The suit has a cut in the middle and palazzo pants at the bottom. The cut gives a view of the wide palazzo. It makes your legs look longer and are so comfortable, that you would wish to live in them.

Its smart, elegant and stylish. I paired it with high heels, to get the maximum glam effect and ensured that they graze the floor even with the tallest heels i own ;)

Today's pick: Purple Dress

Hello everyone!

Hope that everyone had a great weekend..Hubby and i had a great one, hosting friends at our place. I quickly snapped few pictures for my blog of this little purple dress before weekend party.

 It is inevitable that the dark colors like black will make your body look slimmer, but get out of your comfort zone and try striking colors like purple. I simply love the fit of the dress,it is super comfortable and cinched at the waist. It's cut gives a feminine flair for a perfect look. It is simple and elegant & can be dressed up depending on the occasions.

Since purple and gold look so well against each other, I paired it with a black n golden clutch, golden pumps & a beaded necklace from Fashion N You.
