Winter Whites








Sweater, leg warmer - malik / boots - baluchas / ring - westside / necklace - applow tower / beanie - max


Ola Peeps,

It might be the last month but it always brings out the most. As it is the season of holidays and endless parting. So it becomes mandatory to pile up all the festive things-may it be gifts or cards or cloths (new ones).

Keeping in mind the vibes of Christmas, I feel that one should always have something red whether a sweater or a coat. Because red never needs any styling as it is complete in itself..

Likewise I styled a basic red sweater minimally so than the color does not get over saturated! Also I added a hint of white to the whole look. To overcast red I added a white beanie, ring and spiked clutch.

White-red combination is absolutely fit for the moment as red gives the festive feeling and white indicates winter! Adding white was an alternative as the combination of red with green almost gives a feeling of a Christmas tree. (Haha) J

So let’s keep it festive until New Year!

Happy holidays!

Hello Beautiful,

I have been a lot busy lately as my semester ended this month so I was caught up in assignments, lectures and what not. And how can I forget my finals! It took almost one and a half month to finish, which pretty much resulted in no more outings and just studies! 
As I was at home for the most of the day so I had my pamper evenings quite frequently. I am a blind follower as it completely relaxes the mind and rejuvenates the body! 

Basically it means pampering yourself (not with chocolates or presents but by taking special care).
I mean everybody needs a little 'me' time. Right!
Simple steps can really change the mood by showing some love for your body.
For some weird reason I like my products to be of the same company. That makes me buy products from Body Shop. I like it too much as they have a complete range of skin, hair and body products

Oiling – I get myself a good head and body massage for at least 40 minutes as it helps in the proper circulation of blood. Mostly I use body shop oil (as it is less greasy and gets absorbed easily), but it’s almost winters so I have switched to olive oil. Usually I take a nap after massage.

Exfoliating – I use strawberry scrub on my body to remove the oil. Using a body scrub weekly will result in soft skin as it removes all the dead cells and open the pores of body. It is not necessary to use some high off scrub. You can mix brown sugar with olive oil and honey. It will do the exact same job.

Then I use shower gel to cleanse my body. After cleaning it is very important to properly moisturize the whole body. For this I use body butter.
In winters I usually switch to ‘Brazil Nut Shower cream’ and ‘Shea body butter’ as it is thicker than the strawberry range.
At last my strawberry mist and lip balm does not hurt either.

After going through the pamper process I am totally relaxed plus it also leaves me with a Cinderella feeling. ;)    

NOTE- I am not suggesting these products to you. You can buy anything that suit your skin type. I am only mentioning these as they work for me.

Till then be gorgeous,
XOXO
