Gorgeously Flawed

In this post, I will be talking about my daily skin care routine .As everyone knows, the three basic steps to follow daily for a good skin are Cleaning ,Toning & Moisturizing.
I wash my face with a facewash [ soaps don't suit my skin ], currently I have been using Lakme. It basically removes the dirt & the impurities from the skin.However you should always use Warm water to wash your face as it opens up the pores.Splash your face with warm water & apply facewash properly & then rinse it with Cold water, that will close the pores. I have normal skin so I keep on trying different  products but If you have oily or dry skin, you should choose your facewashes accordingly.

After washing your face ,pat dry it with a clean towel and apply Toner.
For Toning, I use Rosewater. I have been using it for quite some time now  & it has really worked wonders for my skin. My skin is glowing like never before and also gives a feeling of freshness. If you want to  feel relaxed and get rid of your tiredness,just soak some cotton guaze in rosewater and keep it over your closed eyes and relax! you can apply rosewater using a cotton pad or just sprinkle enough to make your face feel damp and let it get absorbed on its own.I also apply it over my arms and legs.
After about 5-10 minutes, you can apply moisturizer on your skin. I prefer Olay and Ponds for my face and Vaseline Lotion for my arms and legs.
During daytime , I make sure I use a cream with SPF in it and apply it half an hour before I go out in the sun as my skin really tends to get tanned!
If you want a  lighter skin tone, you can go for Ponds White Beauty with SPF 15. It also lightens the dark spots. However you have to apply it evenly or else patches will be visible on your face. Its really light and you dont get the oily or sticky feeling.
On my arms and legs, I use Vaseline Healthy White with SPF 24 during daytime. It moisturizes and also gives your skin a lighter tone .
Before sleep I follow the same routine of cleaning ,toning and moisturizing. However I dont use creams with SPF.
Simply because its not required and also if you use plain moisturizers, it gives your skin a chance to breathe.(Creams with  SPF may clog your skin pores ).So for my face I use Ponds Silk cream and for my arms and legs  I use Vaseline Total Moisture.
For my palms and feet, I use Vaseline Jelly because my skin in these areas tends to get more dry .
Scrubbing your skin  is also important to remove the black heads and white heads ,exfoliate and remove the dead skin cells ,leaving your skin really soft and also giving a glow to your face .Different kinds of scrubs are available like apricot, stawberry etc. However it should only be used once or twice a Week...because if used daily, it can really dry out your skin . Foot scrubs are also available for your feet skin care.Lately I have been using Lakme facial cleanup at home. It is a set of three : facewash, face scrub and face mask. However I use the scrub and mask only once a week. Face masks work amazingly for your skin and again you should always choose the one that suits your skin.
Last but not the least : Water ! lots n lots of water to help your skin Hydrated !
There are some homemade natural masks that benefit your skin, that I have personally tried and tested. Will be writing about those in my later posts !
Till then Keep reading & Feel Beautiful !

Just few days back, an image popped up on my phone ,it was a message from my friend.
the pic was mine ,it was a facebook profile ,but that profile wasn't mine ! It was under a different name...a name that I hadn't even heard before.
I got panicky, right away I knew, someone was stealing my pictures. But my Fb pictures were locked. I checked to find out that all the pictures that were used were my Instagram photos !
My friend was alert enough to inform all my other friends and asked me to do the same. It was the right decision. Though some of my friends were in a different city...They called up the police and also reported the fake profile. I gathered my senses and did the same. Also I was fortunate enough to know some people who could contact Fb directly and informed what exactly had happened. Next morning I got up to the news that the fake profile was removed.
That was fortunate for me.Maybe most of you dont understand the seriousness about this , but those who have actually been through something similar , will know how scary this can get.
 I would definitely advise especially girls, Instead of getting scared and hiding something like this, Inform as many people as you can. You will definitely get all the help and support that you need. And there is no need to worry because your real friends will never judge you ,and always support you.
All such things are not less than any crime and should be reported immediately. The Police and Cyber Crime Cells are there to help. Such perverts should be punished. Because who knows there will be so many more fake profiles like this and many of the girls whose pictures are being used wouldn't even be aware about this!
Many people told me that its better if I keep my photos private on Instagram. What I dont understand is how will I ever know what kind of people send me follow request , I mean are they good or are they sick by mind?!! You can never know !! And is this really a reason to give up what you like and share it with your friends and family?!! For what??? For such pathetic people??!!!
I actually think that there should be a pop up notification when someone screenshots your photos on Instagram! Why not ?!!!!
Also If Fb notifies you when you get tagged in a picture, Why can't they have something like a face recognition ?!! So when someone uploads your pictures ,you can get notified ! and people who are celebs can always choose to keep that notifications off ! I guess something like this can be really helpful.
I have been reading news about how some kids photos were stolen ,and then that photos were used to sell the kid for a certain amount of money & how the kid actually got kidnapped for ransom!
I mean all this is really serious and social networking sites should really consider this and upgrade for everyone's safety.
I really hope that whoever reads this ,can pass on the message, so that all such cyber criminals can stop messing with other people's life! To use anyone's photos to accomplish your own lame purposes is not right ! and severe actions should be taken against such sick people ...!

Bodies - They are beautiful only if they are lean or delicate...or they are beautiful only if they are curvy or voluptuous ?!!
If you are thin ,you are called skinny. If  you are healthy ,you are called fat.
Beauty doesnt have a weight limit.
If you are dusky , you are called dark ..if  you are fair, you are called pale ?!!
 Beauty is not based on a shade card .
If you wear short clothes, you are showing off too much, If you are all covered up, you dont have that body to flaunt ?!!
Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
You are going to try all the beauty products ,gym ,and every other measures possible to be the perfect girl, but there will always be someone who will point out a tiny flaw and in that moment you will forget about all the hard work you did to look perfect and you are just going to feel low liked you felt before...
Even if you opt for cosmetic surgeries, eventually people will call you fake !
Its not going to be possible Ever to live up to everyone's expectations of the perfect looks! and there is no need to try to do so either ! Imperfection is beauty , Its interesting !!
Just love what God has given you and  believe that you are Beautiful.
Carry yourself with Confidence ,Dress yourself in Strength and Dignity.Be proud of Yourself .
and If people take that as an Attitude problem, then they are not strong enough to handle your presence !
Always remember, you are not here to impress anybody, you came alone into this world, the only person whose opinion should matter to you ,is your own !  If you are unhappy with your body or how you look , work on it . But only for your own self ,only if  You want to.. not for anyone else!Your body is your Own!
 Just keep smiling, be happy ,be kind and do your thing !!
You can change someone's waist size but you cannot change someone's heart !End of the day, Beauty is all about having a beautiful soul !
So stop worrying and
Be your own kind of beautiful ! :*

I was sitting on my bed ,my back resting on the pillow against the wall. I had the earphones on, but I could hear no music ,Instead too many thoughts were playing on my mind...felt like a war was going on ,like there was a huge crowd and every single person was talking at the same time... and these thoughts kept on repeating...
So much chaos inside me & when I looked around ,there was no one & it felt so much calm outside ...but inside my heart and my mind ,there was no Peace at all..Peace was all I needed!

I knew I had decided something that was going to be amazing but was it going to be possible? and the answer was going to be in a text that I was waiting for! I closed my eyes and every passing minute felt like an hour...and suddenly I heard a tone and it wasn't of a text message , but my phone was ringing !! I opened my eyes and looked at the screen ..the name flashing on my cellphone brought a smile on my face...the wait was over! I could hear myself thinking .."maybe it  is going to be possible afterall..!!"

I have never been much of a Makeup person.
 Until last few years, I never even cared how I looked!
but ever since I started using a Kajal / Kohl ,it has become a must - musthave for me..I never go out without applying it !or else I always feel if there is something missing..!Using a Kajal pencil just enhances the beauty of my eyes . I am addicted!
I have tried many products but I always needed something that is smudge free and long lasting.
Collosal kajal Maybelline New York and Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate & Mascara are two of my favorites.

Second thing I am a big fan of is  Maybelline New York Babylips Color .Just gives my lips the natural feel and also keeps them moisturized.
And whenever there is a social event to attend or a party ,I Always go for a lil bit of shimmer and gloss .
Lakme Absolute Plump and Shine 3D Gloss being one of my favorite ! Also I go for lighter,more natural shades that suit my Skin tone .[ Too much of anything is bad!]
That pretty much sums it up about my Eyes and Lips routine.
However I will be posting about Daily Skin Care routine a bit later on my blog, so keep reading and any suggestions or questions are always welcomed !
'Stay Gorgeous !'
