Beauty and Personal Grooming

Generally weddings are quite stressful especially for a bride-to-be. At the cost of sounding like a pessimist, sometimes, the bride witnesses pimple outbreaks or puffy eyes as a result of sleepless nights and distress.

Feeling sexy is important and helps develop self-confidence. If you look and feel your best, you can put your best foot forward whether it is in business, friendships or other relationships. Sometimes, you may need a little help to boost that self-confidence to the next level. Body contouring procedures are performed to help enhance areas of the body that may be less than perfect.

If you feel awkward wearing your clothes because of sweating, it will show in your whole demeanour. And if you are out on a first date or a job interview, that is the last thing that you want.

No one wants to have a bad hair day. Your hair, after all, is your crowning glory, and it is likely to be the first thing that people see about you. So it only makes sense to want to maintain it, to keep it fresh and manageable — and to have it fit your personal style. And this can only mean getting the right hairdresser.

Though this year, the monsoon was slow initially, later on it picked up and overall the rainfall in India has been good!  Well, what with most of our towns and cities with inadequate drainage facilities and little planned facilities in villages, water is bound to stagnate at most places. And stagnant water being the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, there is a surge in mosquito borne diseases like malaria, dengue and chikungunya .

Shopping for clothes and accessories is fun — and to some extent, quite therapeutic. Unfortunately, the fun tends to get overshadowed by a looming (or ballooning) credit card bill.
