Weekend Gossip Vol. 6 – On turning 27!

Swathy · February 6, 2013 · 11 Comments

Well, I turned 27 few days back. Yeah, that was day when I was in Jim Corbett. The plan was to call tiger and elephant for the birthday party 😀 Ok, jokes aside, back to the post.
But, as we age, our skin and health concerns change. So, I thought it would be a good exercise to catalog what changes are necessary from now on. Hopefully, they would be helpful to you too 🙂

Anti-Aging Skin Care

I have never really cared for the anti-aging skin care yet except being a bit diligent with sunscreen. But, I remember reading about the right time to start anti-aging skin care is in the 20’s and blah blah.
So, that’s something you might see on the blog this year. But, you are forewarned when I say you wouldn’t probably see many anti-aging products! I would still prefer simple and inexpensive ways.
Diet
When I was 18,19,20 or even 21, I used to eat anything and everything without any care. But, now, I have become more or less health conscious. So, less fats and more fruits are the agenda but lets see how much I stick to it 😀
Weight Control
Well, you don’t get younger ever, right? So, health problems become imperative in life. A little control over weight can ward off most of these issues so yup I shall have to make strong resolutions and stick to them.
Active Lifestyle
Diet, Weight Control and Active Lifestyle are all inter-related. One leads to another. And, anyways, I have always aspired to have an active lifestyle but I do love being a couch potato.
Give me a book and hot chocolate and a blanket and I shall love lying all day long in sofa! Btw, I am gonna do the same right now as well 😀
For those interested, I am reading “The Seeds of War” by Ashok Banker. Its his latest and I got it for review. Its another interpretation of Mahabharata and I am loving it.

Blogging Series Vol. 3 – Don’t forget to buy the domain first!

Swathy · February 5, 2013 · 7 Comments

tips on blogging

As you all would be aware by now that I have bought the domain recently for this blog, I suddenly realized its disadvantages! Yeah, you would ask, why? Ok, the details would be a little technical. 

Now, whenever I link to any post, whether within the blog or from outside, they create backlinks to the blog. These backlinks were all to the earlier valid blogspot address. 

Though blogger now redirects the blogspot address to the current domain but those backlinks are now invalid. And, these backlinks are essential to maintain blog page rank or popularity in the search engines.

Since these backlinks are invalid now, the blog’s page rank is back to zero and it will take probably a long time to get back to the same PR. Though I have not yet seen any affect on traffic but this change is disheartening. 
So, the first lesson in blogging is TO get your own domain. When you buy it from blogger, it costs 10$ for a year. Well, I would suggest this only when you are sure you would like to write regularly, only then you should spend this money.

Also, a custom domain gives your blog an identity of your own. And, don’t forget that going mobile is very essential for your blog business. That’s the next thing in blogging.

Hi Everyone!! How are you doing?? Yup, considering I have been absent from the blog scene for almost 15 days and a lot has happened in between, I decided to make this tedious Monday a gossip for my entire absence. 

Before I begin, for all those who have commented and sent me queries, a big thanks to you all and please give me sometime to catch up 🙂
Now, getting back, let me tell you it was hell of 15 days for me and I have never yet had a more hectic time in life where I have had so much fun and so less work 😀
I shall definitely be posting on all the things slowly. In fact, I am planning to put up the travel posts so that I can chronicle all the things I did and may be bring the places I have been to to life for you all so that I can tempt you to visit those places 😀
Btw, I shall be doing all those posts on my other blog and I shall soon get the domain name for that as well so that I can concentrate more on it as well 🙂 If you are interested, you can join me there 🙂
