My Skin Diary – September 2013

· · 2 Comments

Ok, so, I can see my entire life changing in front of me now. And, now is the main time to take care of my skin 😀 So, what all did I do in September? I was pretty serious about using sunscreen this month. And, now I have run out of my favorite one so I need to replenish it in my shelf.

Guess what, MVO has started charging shipping for India. It has become so damn expensive so I have to wait till my friend comes from US and I have asked her to get me a few bottles. Till that time, I have to survive on lesser spf. Well, hopefully, I should not get too tanned.

  • Cleansing Milk – Mustard Oil + Coconut Oil

  • Moisturizer – Rustic Art aloevera gel
  • Facial Oil – Turmeric infused Almond Oil + Primrose Oil

So, I did not really do anything much to my skin. Yes, one experiment I did was removing makeup everyday using Oil Cleansing Method. It worked out really well for a few days in the starting but then I thought my skin was not really accepting such a heavy treatment everyday so I left it at that!! So, I would suggest OCM only once a week at max. Do not do it everyday. Ciao with another post tomorrow. Its a bridal update post 😀

How to start planning the wedding? [Part – II] {Bridal Files}

· · 4 Comments

Ok, I have to mention here that these days are just rolling by crazily even if every second feels like an eon. And, the worst part is that I have really no idea of how much planning and everything really goes into all of this. In fact, I should be thankful I don’t have to worry about what to wear during the actual wedding as it is fixed.

 
What will you wear and what jewelery you will pair it with?
Now that you have a list of all the customs from the last post I wrote on the topic, you can start deciding what all to wear. 

What color combinations you would like, what kind of clothes you would prefer (may be start learning wearing them and feeling comfortable like sari), what makeup would you want and what kind of jewelery you will pair each of your clothes with, whether artificial or diamond or platinum or gold or silver or white gold or what not!!
Sigh…there is so much for females and this is just the starting. May be start browsing around for jewelery and trousseau designs if you have never done so.
Hunt for the perfect tailor and MUA
Ok, these are probably the most difficult. The tailor is important even if you go to the most exquisite of the boutiques and this is an issue especially when you have recently relocated or are staying at a place where you have never really bothered to get your clothes done!!
And, of course, ask around for the makeup artist in your friend and family circle or of course the blogs 🙂 And, don’t forget getting a trial by either of them!!
Get a list of things you actually wanna get done or may be get a Bridal Package!
Ok, so I was sitting with my friends yesterday getting totally bored and suddenly this girl pops up what exactly are you going to get done for your face and body and hair. 
I know this is a point which anyone can take care of but if you are like ME, you really need a tutorial on this. I think I will put up another post narrating my experiences for your benefit. Hopefully, you will find it amusing 😀
For now, these are the things on my mind. I will of course add to it as it comes my way!! Ciao till then 🙂
Do send me some tips as well 🙂
