SLAM Tour Concert

Last weekend, I went to see these bollywood actors/actresses such as Deepika Padukone, Shahrukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Yo Yo Honey Singh & plenty more. It was held at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ. I had a blast and enjoyed all the dances and performances and I thought I'd share some memories with you guys as well!

6 Tips for a Salon-Perfect Manicure!

Don't want to spend tons of $$$ on going to the salon and get your nails done? But, still want professional results? Well, aren't you lucky to have such a smart person like me :P because I have all the tips for a salon perfect manicure and all the do's and dont's. Yes, you heard me right!

1. DON'T: Dip your nails in water


Fact: Water can change the shape of your nails

You should not do this because your nails will absorb the water and this will prevent the nail polish to stay on for a longer time and cause it to change the shape of your nails. 

2. DO: Push back your cuticles


Fact: Moisturizing cuticles with conditioner in the shower will make it easier to push it back

This will make your nails look longer and is much better then cutting your cuticles which is painful just as much as it sounds especially if you have hangnail. Cuticles are surprisingly important for your body and if you take too much of it off then it will cause it to grow back thicker. 

3. DON'T: Use a rough nail file


Fact: Coarse files can cause your nails to split 

All nail files have grit which is basically how smooth or rough the surface is and if you use a rough nail file, it's not good for your nails because it peels of the layers causing it to weaken. The lower grits are rough nail files and the higher numbered ones are smooth (the one you want). 


4. DO: Buff your nails + cuticles


Fact: Buffing the cuticles smooths it out

This technique smooths the cuticle and makes it super clean (hygiene is key!).

5. DO: Don't skimp on the base/top coat!

                                       
                           Fact: Base coat acts like a double sided tape

This helps the nail polish from staining the nails (especially if you paint them blue) and prevents from chipping. If you're in a rush, many brands carry quick dry base/top coats.

DIY Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Mask for Fall



Did you know that honey is an anti-irritant? So for those of you with sensitive skin and acne, honey is a preferred ingredient to help manage breakouts while keeping your skin moisturized. Honey actually attracts and retains moisture and may keep away early signs of aging, like wrinkles, by maintaining proper moisture. 

Ingredients: 
  • ½ cup – oatmeal, uncooked
  • ½ cup – water
  • ½ cup – milk
  • 1 tablespoon – pure honey
Directions:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook oatmeal, water, milk and honey for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently with a spatula or spoon. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Massage a thick layer of plain honey all over your clean face and neck before applying mask. Apply mask to your face with upward strokes. Lie down and relax for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and rinse by using a soft facial wash cloth and warm water.
And that’s it- fresh, clean and moisturized skin. It doesn’t get any easier than that!
