FASHION FOR A CAUSE : INDIA MEETS INDIA STORY

Few days back , I met the folks who run a social profit organisation named as India Meets India that provides individuals and corporate organisations a unique opportunity to help the needy.Not through charity, but through empowerment .

Their way of working is simple and is believed to bring a change in society . In simpler terms what they do is ,they connect with lots of NGO'S and platforms who work  with socially challenged or a certain section of the society who can not market their products to the larger masses. For instance, we all have been to Sarojini nagar and Janpath, and for sure have bought accessories or handicraft at least once in our lifetime. India meets India sells the same products and more to the buyers in the same price and makes sure the money goes to the person who is the actual manufacturer of the product instead of the vendor or any other middle man. In this way a lot of skilled people, from different parts of the country are getting empowered. Head to the portal www.indiameetsindia.org and you will see more than 3000 products including phulkari embroidered clothes or dupattas, belts, lots of beaded accessories, shawls, DIY products and lots of household products ready to be delivered at your doorstep. The quality of goods is as promised. Lets help them in bringing a sustainable livelihood opportunities for the underprivileged communities.

UP YOUR GAME WITH SMAAASH

So this happened recently when I spent my day at the newly opened Smaaash at DLF Mall of India .I was a little unsure as I am hardly a sports person ,I mean really the only time I watch cricket match is either a world cup final or a India/Pak match. So I thought lets give it a try and the next 3 hours I spent there were hell of a fun. So let me get into the details about #Smaaash ,
 

Smaaash presents an unmatched  range of games that offer a superlative experience, and combines the best of sports, music and dining into a highly immersive, interactive, innovative and involved entertainment experience .A never seen before gaming experience with fresh concepts.

“The concept of Smaaash is as exciting as it is unique. It provides the perfect haven to let your hair down and have some fun, and leave behind the stress of daily life. Smaaash not only redefines sports entertainment, but also allows one to immerse themselves in a sport they love and experience it first hand, not just as a spectator. And we’re now ready to smash it out of Noida with the newest Smaaash outlet at the Mall of India!” added Sachin Tendulkar

At Smaaash Noida, one can also immerse oneself into virtual reality technology that is so close to reality that it completely absorbs one’s senses. A mix of motion & amp; positional tracking, virtual reality high definition Head Mounted Displays (HMD), along with a state of the art graphics engine that renders in real time, adds thehigh definition thrill to adventure gaming. Games like Walk The Plank, Finger Coaster, Fly Max, Face Ronaldo and many more provide for a completely immersive experience and transfer you to a world beyond your wildest imagination.

The launch of Smaaash Noida also commemorates the launch of Mighty Small Café & Bar in NCR. Mighty Small @Smaaash is the new concept café being launched at all Smaaash properties across the country. The café features a carnival theme space with elements that exude fun, joy and vibrancy. A café designed especially for children and those that are kids at heart, the idea is to have a place so alive that it reflects life as in a carnival. The bar features a scrabble inspired façade with names of drinks on it for the amusement of the customers. All elements, like the origami birds, 3D animal art installations, red glass panels come together in a beautiful way.

A DAY AT ISAAC

What is beauty to you ?

Beauty to me is a form of self-expression, feeling good about yourself and radiating positive vibes .But in this busy daily life we cannot take care of our skin and body as we should and we face the consequences . The effects show on our health and shake our confidence .So this is what happened on 2^nd april when I visited ISAAC  which is located at Chattarpur, New Delhi. To be honest, when I was invited I had a mental picture of the place similar to a hospital but when I reached I was literally shocked to see that the ambience of the place was amazing, they made sure that I felt comfortable at every point .  The day was planned in such a way that I had the opportunity to consult two doctors, the first one Dr. Geetika Mittal Gupta, a beauty with brain, a very warm and gentle person at heart. She had one look on my skin and told the history and geography of my skin, followed by a good consultation to change the physics of my face. And let me be clear when I say no surgical changes were performed, just pretty good and healthy practises. I have been practising her medication and suggestions and its really working well for me.So I thought I should share this with you guys.

The treatment I went through was MICRODERMABRASION accompanied with instant glow facial 

Benefits :

 Instant Glow

 Reveal Fresh & Youthful Looking Skin.

 Smooths & Exfoliates Dull Facial Surface.

 Cleans Clogged Pores.

 Decreases fine lines and wrinkles.

 Lightens pigmentation.

 Skin feels significantly more smooth and tight post-treatment.

Technology and Procedure: Cleansing, Scrub, massage with Aloe Vera Gel & Vit C serum, Microdermabrasion, mask according to skin type. It’s a quick procedure for instant results. Microdermabrasion combines vacuum suction with tiny abrasive crystals to polish away the uppermost layer of skin, eliminating roughness as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It is a quick and virtually pain-free procedure that uses tiny, rough aluminium crystals to vigorously exfoliate the top layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells.International skin and anti-ageing centre ( ISAAC ) also holds expertise in other beauty and body treatments .
Hope this review was helpful to you . 

LEAF IT TO ME : TREEWEAR

Lately Sustainable fashion is becoming a thing now. With luxury brands like Armani going fur-free and Stella mccartney's take on sustainable fashion industry, we really hope to save the planet as well stay in the fashion loop. A lot has been going in our county India as well. Brands and designers are working on a sustainable approach to fashion using organic clothing and zero-waste policy.

Meanwhile I came across this brand named TREEWEAR, a responsible approach to clothing. They carefully design contemporary clothing keeping comfort, enjoyment and raising awareness in mind .Not only just they make eco-friendly garments but they make it in eco-friendly way keeping in mind minimum waste strategy and locally sourced materials and low impact AZO-free dyes and yeah at last recycled packaging . 

Not only this ,people at Treewear also plant a tree for every product you purchase and you can actually locate the place where a tree has been planted on your name .Isn't that cool and responsible at the same time .

I tried on the Tee-shirt I received and I have to say that it was a very summer-friendly fabric yelling comfort to the max and it kind of looked cool too. My brother is already after my life to get his hands on this one .

All I am saying is it's a good strategy as well as much needed change. You never know

                      "Sustainable clothing may be the future of fashion "

POST-HOLI SKIN AND HAIR CARE ROUTINE

Hey guys , I hope you had lots and lots of fun playing Holi, but we all know how its ends for us girls (and may be guys too ;-) ) .Even if you prepare yourself mentally to be drenched in colour by family and friends, you can't do the same with your hair and skin. It’s extremely important that you protect yourself from toxic colors.We all know that colors now-a-days are made up of ingredients like acids , glass powder and we can pretty much guess how they will turn out for us.
So I jotted down some skin and hair rituals which i think might help you guys to regain that charm.

Post-Holi skin and hair care routine

1) Deeply cleanse and condition your hair. Apply a hair mask after 2-3 days to treat the damage done to your hair texture.

2) Do not rub the skin vigorously with soap to get rid of the colours. Use a mild cleanser instead and follow this up with a soothing moisturizer, preferably a type meant for sensitive skin.

3) Do not bleach, shave, wax or go for facials or clean ups the following week.

4) Do not use kerosene, petrol and spirits to remove the stains as that can dry up your skin.

5) Treat your skin with a mixture of sea salt, glycerin, and a few drops of aroma oil. This natural beauty mask has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

6) Oil is good. Dryness makes skin and hair more vulnerable 

to toxic colours.

7) Don’t over wash your hair as it can make your hair dry

 and unmanageable. Instead you can always opt for a hair

 spa which will help you get all the nutrients back into hair.

 Another option would be to use curd as it is very moisturizing

 and the colours will come out from hair very quickly.

TRAVELLERS AND STYLE

 

    Hey guys , so here I am posting a small blog of my street style work around the city Jaipur. I came here mainly to visit Jaipur literature festival , but there was so much more in the city that I felt the need to capture . So a quick post because I won't be in the internet zone for the next couple of hours. For all I know, I came in like a tourist (well planned) but left like a traveller .
