MY BLOGGING STORY

0
0
by Chrisylla Octavia from the blog Colors in my Bubble


"Let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences." 

-Sylvia Plath

Back in 2012, I knew nothing about blogging world until a friend of mines introduced me to Blogger and convinced me to start writing on the internet to inspire teenage girls like myself. At first, I thought fashion and beauty should be my niche; I thought I should focus on those fields because I like them. I began writing all of my opinions about make ups, perfumes, and clothes that I bought for myself. Even though I knew in the back of my head that I didn't have a lot of readers and I'm not an expert in any way in these territories, I didn't care, I just kept focusing on my writings, my photographs, and my background. For the record, I didn't know there are blogging communities on social medias like Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. I was too busy with my content to realize that communities and getting to know other bloggers are very crucial in a blogging world. 

I stopped blogging for quite a while because I was occupied with my school works, moving to other country, making new friends, and all other things I gotta do to help me decide my major. Once I was ready, I realized that I missed writing and reading and creating a beautiful set of words. I started blogging again after six months of hiatus. However, beauty and fashion aren't my interests anymore, and to be honest, I don't know what has changed. They just don't excite me like they used to; I was bewildered to the point where I just stared in a blank piece of paper without knowing what to write. I was thoroughly stuck and uninspired for a second because I don't just want to write about my "OOTD" or "fall fashion and make up". I want to write things that I love, I want to be heard by the society; assuredly, I come to a realization that I can't focus on one particular field. After an hour of confusion, I decided to read my feed on Bloglovin, and I realized that the websites that I'm actually interested in are the ones who share advice, tips and tricks, beautiful stories, and perspectives. I love writers who come up with unique topics, unpredictable stories, and beautiful yet simple words; something about them astounds me.

At the end, I am proud to say that I don't have a niche. I am going to write whatever and whenever I want because even though I love writing so much, I'll still feel pressured if the topic I'm able to write is restricted. The other day, a friend of mine was telling me to try writing about China's economy because it's related to my major, and I told him that I'm scared my readers won't like it and be bored the second they read my title. Then, he said something that astonished me, "Let me ask you, do you love to write or do you love to blog? Is writing/blogging your hobby or your job?" I told him I love to write, and blogging is just a way to spread my writings to the whole world. He answered, "Why do you have to care if people enjoy your writing or not? You write for yourself, not for other people. Don't confuse writing with blogging because they're two completely different things." I knew he was right; however, when you have readers, you just can't help but think about their expectations too, you know? I understand now that I gotta be a little selfish and start thinking of myself because this blog is simply MY life's experience in a bunch of words.

                 
                                              What's your story?

                                                         LOVE

Brows A Few Things You Need To KNow
Hello lovely people. Firstly, let me introduce myself - my name is Brenda and I blog over at BRENDA BUSYBEE. I blog mainly about beauty, but there is some fashion, family, hauls and well, a little bit of everything thrown in. Karishma has been kind enough to let me do a guest post today, and I have decided to do a little post about brows......
 
Is there anything more high maintenance on your face than your brows? No. They need constant love and attention and at least a weekly seeing to. Neglect them, and you will regret it. Brows are vengeful little buggers that have a habit of spiting you when you don't shower them with the attention they desire. Which is where I come in with this handy little post to keep your brows ship shape.

SHAPING
Your main weapons of defense here are going to be waxing, threading or plucking. I would recommend seeing a professional if you are serious about getting your brow shape perfect for your face. They will look at your face shape and using your nose, define where your brows should start, end and where the highest arch should be. Whether you wax, thread or pluck, this is going to need regular upkeep. I would suggest every 4 to 6 weeks to keep stray hairs at bay.
If you are determined to conquer this mission on your own steam, under your own roof, there are some basic rules to follow....
 
Brow Shaping

DEFINITION
PENCILS // Best for a quick fix and those of us lucky enough to be blessed with bushy brows.
POWDER // Best for thin on the ground brows that need filling in.
GEL // Best for brows that need an uplift of colour and for help keeping those pesky hairs in place.
WAX AND POMADE // Best for perfectionists who want a clean cut finish. 
Don't forget to seal your brows with a gel to keep the colour and hair in place. You can also add a little highlighter to your brow bone to give your brows that edge.
Until next time xx

BE A SUPERSTAR WITH adidas Originals

0
0




If you remember the “adidas Originals Collision” campaign that took place last year, you would remember how the event brought together the most talented personalities of contemporary urban street culture in major cities all over India.

Personally I have been drooling over Rita Ora’s adidas Original superstar 80's shoes (the magnificent customizable black-based sneakers with a multicolor sole have my heart) and the Superstar Bling. But adidas is known for much more than coming out with shoes that look fantastic. These iconic shoes represent individuality and street culture all over the world. From their origin in 1969 when the superstar shoes came out as the first low-top basketball shoe to feature an all-leather upper and the rubber shelltoe, to its transition into a street fashion favorite, the line has always been a trendsetter and the epitome of individuality.

 

adidas is known to continually introduce campaigns that promote self expression and creativity in youth, and they intend to do the same this year with the #AllSuperstarsUnite contest. If creativity runs in your veins and you would like to bedazzle the world with your originality, this may be the chance that you had been dreaming about! adidas Originals is looking for creative masterminds in the fields of  fashion, EDM, photography and graffiti, and a few lucky ones will not only get to a chance to collaborate with the very best in these fields but also be featured in the next adidas Originals superstar video! 

Just share your brilliant idea within 50 words or with an image/video, and if your idea gets picked you get to work with Nida, Nucleya, Rony or Daku to make your idea come alive.

Give it your best shot guys. May the odds be ever in your favour!

SPA LA VIE - L’OCCITANE

0
0




On my list of the things that can turn around a bad day (or even week) for me, the top three would be: A conversation over dinner with my best friends. A pyjama party which involves extra cheese pizza and re-watching my favourite comedy sitcoms (because a ‘Friends’ episode is funny even if it is being watched for the 17th time). A pampering and revitalizing body massage session. So when in the midst of a mother of all stressful weeks kind of week, I was  invited for an experiential at the Spa La Vie L’occitane, I more than happily said yes.

This 8,000 sqft Mediterranean Wellness Sanctuary is situated in Apollo Mills, Lower Parel and boasts to be one of Mumbai’s largest Day Spas, featuring one of Mumbai’s only Hammams. On stepping into the Spa’s tranquil premises, I was greeted by smiling faces and almost immediately offered bamboo slippers that I could change into. After being served a detoxifying concoction of basil, honey and ginger, I had a brief session with the Spa manager where he asked me my preferences and other necessary questions which would help my experience at the spa be more pleasant and personalized.  

I opted for a relaxing Aromacologie massage and had a blissful 60 minute session where Swedish effleurage strokes, Chinese acupressure, Balinese massage techniques were brought together to stimulate circulations and ease tensions. This indulging session indeed made me experience ­­Spa la Vie by L'Occitane’s motto L'Art de Vivre, the French art of slowing down and savoring each sensuous, fabulous moment.

Whether you like to indulge in Spa therapies once in a while or regularly, the Spa la Vie menu consists of a variety of facials, massages, body wrap and scrub treatments, to cater to your cossetting needs. And if you are someone who takes pampering and luxury seriously, you might want to have a look at their VIP couple’s suites, intimate area for spa soirées and annual membership prices!

MY CTM ROUTINE WITH HERBALIFE SKIN

0
0
by Tripti Bisht



Hey lovelies! Today I’m delighted to share my current skin regime with you all! I’m sure like me, all women strive for healthier and glowing skin (free from pigmentation, acne, pollution, ageing marks etc.) and to have a fresh look throughout the day, even on the days that we decide to keep our skin sans makeup. Well here I’m talking about the basic CTM (Cleanse, tone and moisturize) therapy that I am currently following for healthier skin.

The CTM routine is very widely preached but hardly followed by any of the young women that I know. I am myself guilty for skipping over the toning step time and again. With the arrival of winters, I decided to give my skin extra TLC and follow the CTM routine regularly, and trust me it’s working well! Now my oily/combination skin is quite sensitive, and displays cons of seasonal changes (breakouts) even in early winters. I picked up the Herbalife SKIN range which is infused with Aloe-vera, is free from harmful chemicals and had been designed to support healthy skincare, hoping that it would be the solution to my skin distresses.

Claims: Herbalife SKIN is solution-based skin care nutrition that balances ingredients, botanicals, and extracts with proven science for a luxurious experience and healthier-looking skin every day. An optimal blend of Vitamin B3, antioxidant vitamins C & E and Aloevera to enhance the appearance of skin. Paraben & sulfate free. Dermatological tested.

Step I: CLEANSE

Herbalife SKIN Soothing Aloe Cleanser (For normal to dry skin)

Price: INR 1424 (150 ml) 


Gently removes make up, dirt & excess oil with its nondrying formula that helps to keep skin hydrated & silky soft. It forms lather, effectively cleanses & rinses off easily leaving behind a rejuvenating fragrance.  Girls with oily skin can opt for there Herbalife SKIN Polishing Citrus Cleanser which is clinically tested to show reduction in skins sebum.

Basic ingredients: Aloe vera & coconut.

Step II: TONE

Herbalife SKIN Energizing Herbal Toner

As I told you that I am someone who has skipped using a toner 99% of the time, using this toner on a regular bases yielded an unbelievable difference to my skin. The basic purpose of a toner is to hydrate skin after cleansing so that it becomes prepared for moisturizing and I intend to keep on using a toner regularly henceforth. This toner is alcohol-free (yay!) and provides hydration to skin, making it feel fresh & clean without stinging.

Basic ingredients: Aloe vera, Fresh Mandarin citrus scent. Vitamin B3, Antioxidants Vitamin C & E

Step III: MOISTURIZE

Herbalife SKIN Daily Glow Moisturizer

Price: INR 2414 for 30ml

This Hydrating Moisturizer smoothens skin evenly adding a slight glow to the face. It is light weight and makes my skin feel smooth and soft. Also a little goes a long way! And I am super stoked to be using a paraben free moisturizer for a change!
Basic ingredients: Aloe vera, Vitamin B3, Antioxidants Vitamin C & E, sunflower seed oil & Macadamia nut oil.
_____________________

I can say that I’m totally loving the Herbalife SKIN range for my daily care regimen as I have felt the remarkable improvement in my skin texture by using it twice everyday. My only complain would be that I prefer my moisturizer to have some basic sun protection, especially with a price tag like this. But all in all these products are giving me good results and I am all set with my CTM routine for the upcoming winters!

MIRENESSE PEBBLE SONIC BEAUTY DEVICE FROM LUXOLA.COM - REVIEW

0
0



Face cleansing devices have been a rage since a last few years, and I have always wanted to get one but have been hesitant to make the investment, contemplating whether the results would actually be worth the price or not. Well here I am going to tell you about my experience with my very first face cleansing device, the MirenessePebble Sonic Skin Clearing Facial Beauty Devicewhich I received last month from Luxola.com.

Claims:                                    
60 seconds to a Happy Skin Glow! Introducing Zen-Sonic Tap Technology (ZST), 3000 tapping silicone tips at 100 taps per second that sounds pretty powerful! Yet ZST technology is gentle enough even on sensitive skin, but works amazingly efficiently to dislodge all impurities, purifying the skin to leave your skin looking amazingly clean, clear, relaxed and fresh.  Release The Inner Happiness In Your Skin Everyday!

Price: INR 9,451.50 

Usage and My Experience

The Pebble Sonic Device is recommended to be used twice a day and is gentle enough to do so, but I usually use it only once a day at night time along with its accompanying night cleanser. The device has to be turned on with its center button, which comes with +/_ buttons which can be used to vary the intensity if required. The recommended time for each usage session is one minute and to avoid overuse the device switches off automatically after 3 minutes. I use it for about more than a minute, cleaning one area at a time in an upward and outward motion. 

The device comes along with two cleansers, a USB charger and a travel friendly pouch.  One full charge makes the device usable for up to 300 sessions. I have been using the device for more than a month now and have not faced the need to charge it yet.

Likes
  • 10 years Guarantee
  • Helps to clear skin of breakouts and blemishes fast 
  • Makes removing dirt and makeup has become so easy!
  • Refines the skin by removing dead skin cells
  • Stimulates blood flow throughout the skin
  • Removes blackheads and white heads effectively
  • Claims to refine the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines in the long run

My Rating:  5/5

Though my skin has already improved a lot since its breakouts and blemishes phase, I have not even had those occasional breakouts (that make my blood boil) since I have starting using this device! I am happy to say that I am one happy customer who is going to continue using this device for a very long time. And about the price, well it comes with 10 years guarantee, and if it does last that long then the price seems fair to me.

You heard that right! It is facial, but (pun unintended) for your butt! Call me ignorant but I thought that when the word facial is involved, it should have something to do with you know, the face. This definitely sounds…. ummm…. interesting. To know what Lakmé has to say about their latest offering- The Buttylicious, read on.





 

Kim Kardashian broke the internet with it; Nicki Minaj has glorified it with a song while J-Lo has insured it. Lakmé Absolute Salon, known to be the purveyor of latest international beauty trends in India, brings to you the craze that has taken over Hollywood, New York and Miami. For the first time in India, you can now give your butt the attention it deserves, exclusively at Lakmé Absolute Salon with the all-new butt facial – Buttyliscious.

Disha Meher, Head - Skin Innovations, Lakmé Lever said, “We noticed a trend where a lot of women were hesitant about dressing for occasions like Sunday pool parties or beach vacations which made us come up with the Buttyliscious. This 45-minute ritual begins with a deep-cleanse which reduces the crustiness of the skin followed by a pampering massage with seaweed extract. The service is concluded with a hydrating mineral water spray which seals in the benefits of the facial, leaving your skin soft and supple.”

Now you too can #BreakTheInternet as you get twerking at a party or don that bikini at a beach! Get your lazy butt off that couch and rush to Lakmé Absolute Salon, Mumbai for a leisurely hour of some backside #buttyliscious pampering. Priced at Rs. 3,500 it is perfect for those days when life hits rock ‘bottom’!


Am I willing to give this a try you ask? I will if you will!

FASHION THERAPY: AN INTERVIEW WITH HARSHA GUPTA

0
0


Harsh Gupta’s modern, glamorous and fuss-free designs have been making heads turn. I caught up with the talented designer for an exclusive interview to know more about his dazzling creations. To find out the must have clothing this season, and this creative genius's inspirations and muses, read on! 

What trends according to you are going to be big in the upcoming months?
In India : prints, denims and 60s inspired looks will be big in fall winter 2014-15, I guess. Soft and clean looks would be preferred too. I see a good space for red colour other than black, white and gold. 

What are the top three must haves that every girl should have in her closet right now?
An interestingly cut vest-drape, a well fitted tea-length dress with low-back and a textured silk stole in solid colour or print.

What was your motivation behind entering the fashion industry?
I always wanted to design clothes. I loved and designed clothes since my childhood for myself and my family so it was natural for me to choose designing as a career. I could visualize, illustrate and drape clothes in an innovative manner much before i joined NIFT. I still have those childhood illustrations. I thank God for blessing me with this powerful ability to design.  
Which celebrity are you looking forward to design for in the future?
If I had to design for a celebrity then surely I have a long list! From Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor, Kangna Ranaut, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Aishwrya Rai, Anushka Sharma, Sri Devi, Rekha and my all-time favourite Sophie Choudhary, Ramona Arena to Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Frida Pinto, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, all of them. They are all simply stunning! 

If you could design clothes for anyone in the whole world, who would you want it to be and why?
Honestly, I would love to see my designs on every woman across the globe. It’s such a high after all! Being loved and accepted by the masses is another level of satisfaction and joy. Today’s woman is an inspiration to me and many of us. She is a true star!!! By managing work, family, friends and a great social life, she has conquered almost everything that one could imagine and still look her best. She takes such good care of herself; it’s just unbelievable to see the ability to balance. Dressing up each one of them and helping them look their best would be all what I would want to do for the rest of my life as a designer. When I see a happy, satisfied face, I feel really great and motivated. 

Where do you get the inspiration for your designs?
I always look around for an intriguing subject for my inspiration. What really excites me is nature, the unseen world, places, mystery, science and artists. I like to mix two ideas/stories to create a new story. I feel as a designer it’s very important to contribute or give something new to the industry and people. And to give something new, one must create new or invent. The will to invent or create new is what keeps me going. I always ask myself whether I have contributed in some or the other way as an artist, designer and entrepreneur to the fashion industry.  

How would you describe your pre-fall collection?
My pre-fall 2014 collection celebrates the individuality of an independent, confident and a determined woman of today. It’s designed for the women, who are liberal and wanting to celebrate their curves.  

What are your inspirations behind your pre-fall collection F ROZEN?
I was inspired by the bewitching beauty of "Lauren Bacall", the most prolific style icon of the 40s & 50s for my collection F ROZEN. She was an American actress of film, stage & musical theatre and renowned for her distinctive husky voice and sultry looks. ‘That gaze, the voice, the hair... It was just that confidence that I wanted to capture through my clothes.

What can we expect with from Harsh Harsh in the next?
Yes, there is something exciting coming up. We are aggressively working over developing a stronger and mass-centric product range under our brand HARSH HARSH that we plan to launch in the summers of 2015. We are quite excited about it. We believe and hoping that it will receive great love, support and acceptance amongst our lovely buyers and consumers. We have been working over various business strategies for the retail establishment of our brand across India lately. It’s been a great journey since the inception of HARSH HARSH. We have learnt a lot of new things. So now, it’s time to implement all that knowledge into constructing a more profound and enduring premium retail brand HARSH HARSH.

To keep up with Harsh Gupta’s latest designs, you can follow him on Facebook, Twitterand Instagram.

FASHION THERAPY: WINTER WHITES

0
0

If you are someone who stashes away their whites in winters, think again. Although the weather is just crisp and pleasant in Mumbai, it does not stop me from browsing through winter fashion outfits. And one delightful look that I keep on coming across again and again is the gorgeous Winter Whites. You can wear your winter whites with neutrals, a pop of color, sequins, leopard prints or dark accents, there are endless possibilities to make this trend fit impeccably from a day to day look to a holiday affair!

I have decided to extend my search for these creamy hues and sparkling whites,  to the Great Online Shopping festival, where I can have a better excuse to explain to my mum why I suddenly cannot do without whites in my wardrobe (hey it’s on sale Ma!) And what can be better than buying beautiful things at an online shopping festival? Getting those things with even more offers and discount! Cuponation is providing some amazing deals on the occasion of the GOSF. Even my mum may want to buy a thing or two!

Following are some more ways to wear whites in winters. With neutrals and reds lips is how I would like to style my whites, what about you?
