Parachute Advansed Body Lotion - Bring Back The Touch

This post is a part of the IndiBlogger Happy Hour Campaign in association with Parachute Advanced Body Lotion

Love alone can survive is what I used to believe but it is not true is what life has made me realize. Although I still go by the fact that love is very important in any relationship but it is also true that there are many other things that build a relationship. Love is certainly one of them but it's not the only one. There is trust, faith, care and also touch that strengthens the relationship.

Here is a little story of my friends Raj and Alisha who everyone thought were the perfect couple and loved each other to the moon and back (as they say). Theirs was a love marriage so obviously there was a lot of love and this is what made people think and talk so much about it. They seemed like the perfect couple, back then in college they matched the color of their clothes, ate together or simply put they were always seen together.
But as it's said once you get married it's not love that keeps the relation going and in a culture like ours where the girl just doesn't get married to the boy but to the whole family, there was a lot that they had to go through. Adjusting with different family values, different cultural and religious norms is not easy, the two of them went through all of it. No doubt they survived all taunts and all the "tannas" but that spark that they used to have went missing!
The love no doubt was there but it's that passion, that spark which is vital for any relationship was found missing. They had got so busy with their lives that they did not even realize that they were not the perfect couple that they used to be. They needed that GENTLE TOUCH in their life.
Then it was that day when all of us (our old college gang) went to meet them on their 2nd Marriage Anniversary, we reminded them of what a perfect couple they used to be and that's when they realized that they needed to bring back that touch in their relation and the cutest moment was when Raj went on his knees and held Alisha's hand like the old college days and kissed it with so much love.

So it's really important to love a person but to have that passion is also equally important. This is what keeps a relation going. Get back that touch in your lives too-  #BringBackTheTouch

My beautiful home

Hello everyone, this post is a part of an IndiBlogger Campaign in association with Porcelanosa

Procelanosa has variety of products to choose from that can make your home look very beautiful.We all like doing our bit for our home, don't we? If I were given a choice I would choose to do up my home all over again with products from Procelanosa.

It's true that it is family and love that makes four corners a home but I am sure that you will agree with me that who wouldn't love having a house as luxurious as that of Ambani or Shahrukh Khan. We all would, right? So Procelanosa has given all bloggers this lovely chance of designing ourdream home with their varied products.

So here is what I would include in my dream home:

Floor Tiles: anti-slip tiles

Oxford Antracita Antislip 14,3 x 90 cm

Why this? Because currently I have marble flooring and I often tend to slip. To be honest, all this while I didn't even know there were tiles that could prevent you from slipping but hey Procelanosa had them and yes they are perfect for me.

Wall Tiles: Xlight Tiles

Code Beige Nature 300 x 100 cm

They are pretty and nice. I like how they look and I think they are very trendy and would go well with my flooring that I have selected from Procelanosa


Next is Kitchen, this is my favorite place. I love eating and cooking food, So I will ensure I choose the best for my Dream Kitchen.


Furniture-G100 Camel/ Hueso
G100 Camel / Hueso

 Simple and elegant. In my opinion a kitchen must be simple and away from all other complexities of the house, whatsoever and thus this furniture would be best.


Chairs
Curve Roble Blanco Cal

Curve Roble Blanco Cal

Elegant and pretty much goes with the kitchen theme.


So what's next on the list?
Bathroom it is...

Bathroom furniture
In Luxury Blanco Mate / Oro Mate
In Luxury Blanco Mate / Oro Mate

I have a always wanted to have a luxurious bathroom and this one fits perfectly in the description.



Bathtubs
Minimal

Minimal

The name says it all. Minimal and elegant. I would love to have this bath tub in my dream home.




This is what every girl wants, a nice and a big wardrobe. Spacious with as many as doors that it can possibly have. Below is my favorite.

So thats pretty much it. Do watch this space for more- http://www.24kliving.com/

Toilet for Babli

Toilet for Babli
Babli is a young girl from a remote area in our country, and today what she is asking for is not money, not a job, not for an expensive dress or not for a cheese burst pizza, all she is asking for is a place where she can attend what they commonly say is the nature’s call, which is a human requirement. I mean today do we have control over something as silly as this? No right? So then why do we let go or just ignore issues like these for people who cannot afford it, why can’t the rich donate some money for a human need than spending it for their kitty parties. Why can’t the women today see, what the other women is going through and why is that we are able to do very little for them

Babli today is asking for a helping hand from the society and is asking for nothing but just proper sanitation facility so that she does not go to the local public toilet where there are many people, and where she needs to wait in a queue. She is asking for this, so that the next time she goes she does not fear that a tiger from the jungle behind is going to drag her away in the dark and she will lose her life. 
I can only imagine what people go through when there are denied the most essential requirement. Domex is doing a wonderful job by promoting this issue and bringing this to the light of the government today. 

Let us all join hands together and support this social cause or to put it is simple words, a need of every individual.Babli will not just improve the condition of her family by asking for this support but she will be able to help millions of other girls like her who are not even aware of this basic right of an individual. It will also help us in improving the health condition of our country and make India a place where all citizens are working together and improving the condition of the country jointly.

With proper sanitation facilities we can uplift the development of women in our society as they are the most affected with issues like these and are ashamed to even get these issues to the notice of the public as they shy away from this and feel that they don’t deserve this in a male dominated society. 

Let us as women today uplift the women of our society and be at par with the men in all aspects. 

Let’s take this pledge to  get away with all and orthodox thoughts of our society and let us build a better and new India, where women are equally respected. You can bring about the change in the lives of millions of kids, thereby showing your support for the Domex Initiative. All you need to do is “click” on the “Contribute Tab” on www.domex.in and Domex will contribute Rs.5 on your behalf to eradicate open defecation, thereby helping kids like Babli live a dignified life.

This post is for the Domex campaign to support Toilet for Babli.

Garnier BB Cream

My Perfect score Cream xoxoxo

Today I would like to share my personal style statement to all of  you reading...
There were days when I use to spend hours in front of the mirror trying several times for the perfect look, too much makeup is just not fine for all the occasions and no makeup meant dull and lifeless face.
Attending work, family get together, other social gatherings I just would be late for all of them and still not satisfied, until I tried the new Garnier BB Cream. Initially I was reluctant because I thought it was just like any other TV ad promised.
When I used it I could feel the difference for the first time a cream did it all. I was ready for work in just 5 minutes and the BB cream works like my work hours.
My family and office collegues complimented me, they noticed a spark on my face.
They said I was glowing, and asked me the secret.
It just worked like magic, now I don't have to use a sunscreen, moisturizer, compact, blush , shimmer.... BB cream is all in one.

Garnier claims that the use of this BB cream gives:
-Lasting fairness
-Healthy glow
-Even skin tone
-8 hours moisture
-Reduced imperfections
-Sun protection with SPF 24
Guess what, it actually does. This is rated as a perfect score!!!

What I like the most is that-
It blends easily. It evens out skin tone very well which does the work of a foundation. It is not greasy at all and leaves a soft glow on your face. It stays for as long as 8 hours and moisturizes very very effectively unlike many other creams. Now, this cream blends like a dream and it doesn't get patchy at all. It decently evens out skin tone and imparts a subtle glow like how it claims making your skin look pretty and very natural. Personally I am very happy with the moisturizing part . It moisturizes my skin really very well including the drier areas.
It works as a foundation giving you an even skin and making your skin look fairer as desired by use of foundation and compact powder. So, with the use of BB Cream you can do away with your makeup kit and all you need to do is take some cream on your palm and simply spread it like any other moisturizer, it's that simple. We spend so much on getting the right shade of foundation for our skin but this BB Cream works for all skin tones. It gives an instant perfect skin as it combines derivative of Vitamin C and mineral pigments which help unify skin.

A HEALTHY CHILD MAKES A HAPPY HOME

Yes Guys, it is rightly said, a child gives birth to a mother. In fact I would even add to this that a child gives birth not just to a mother, but a family as a whole. A child brings in different relations to this world.

When a child is born, he brings a life to this world, different emotions, feelings; relations are formed on the birth of a child. Now, moving towards our statement “A healthy child makes a Happy home”; yes, this is true in every sense, and aspect. Like I said, when a child is born, people not just celebrate the birth of the child alone, but also celebrate the relations that are formed, let me explain this to you in simple terms. For example; When a child is born, two individuals who are in an institution of marriage are now given the term of becoming parents, the parents parent, also get a promotion in their life, which is much more than the promotion that one gets in the corporate, yes, the satisfaction, and joy of becoming grandparents; the joy of becoming a masi for the first time, the joy of celebrating, that I am now an elder sister or brother to a new life on this earth is not or cannot be measured in life.

So, yes it is a fact that when a child is born, as parents we are emotionally connected to the child, especially the mother, because it is her who can understand what a child needs, what is troubling the child, or what gives happiness to my child, so it is only a mother who is awake till late night, until the child is back home, it’s the mother who will wait for dinner, till the child is back home, and hence it is the mother who knows and understand the true value of the fact that a healthy child not just brings happiness to the home , but also gives her an immense satisfaction internally that her child is strong and is ready to fight the battle, which starts from school, to college, and then finally to the work place.

Today, I as a mother will be secured to know that my child has the right food and nutrition’s, and is strong enough not just physically but even mentally, and I will be a proud parent, and hence this cycle moves on. It’s a circle, which starts from the fact that the child is fit, then moves to giving satisfaction to the parents, which in turn brings an atmosphere of joy and celebration in the family, thus making a healthy and happy living in the house.

To conclude this I would just say that guys, it is very important to give your child the right nutrients from an early age, as we are living in an era, where burgers, and cold drinks is what attracts our children the most, and hence, given the right food, and diet our child will be strong enough to live happily in the world, and thus bring in another life into this world, as I mentioned this is a circle of life, it is all about giving back to life, and that is how we must successfully complete this circle of life, and move on to making this world a better place to live in.

Jifi is Here

Ohhh Banking.....Gone are those days when we were an alien to the world of Banking, this generation has it in their genes.
I mean even a child knows how to shop online and have all the fun in just a click.
Banking is now a hassle free experience infact it is so much fun.I can have my bank with me anywhere anytime on my phone, at work ,at the mall outside every where.
Where does it move for us without money but with the KOTAK experience its its a tweet away, its convenient.
One can track the inflow and outflow, make payments,search locations for ATM's always updated.
Personally, I am a shopaholic for me its absolute fun, i shop and get rewarded, i make any transactions get rewarded at the same time i don't have to worry about the maintaining balance.
