5 Things That Your College Taught You

Ask any adult how often s/he uses what s/he has been taught at school or university. Ask to calculate the logarithm or derivative, multiply or divide three-digit numbers without a calculator – even these simple operations cause difficulties for most graduates.

Therefore, academic knowledge is definitely necessary, and often useful, but the college and the university can teach you such things that you would never have done before. Here are five of the most important skills any college may teach you.

Search and Find a Way out of Any Situation

A modern training program does not imply a single free minute. Students receive dozens of voluminous assignments every day, and it is impossible to physically cope with them alone. Student savvy is useful for this. And overall, college teaches you to find solutions from the most difficult situations. For example, it is always realistic to ask someone to “write my essay for me,” pay for it and sleep calmly.

To Be Honest

In the continuation of the preceding paragraph, the college teaches the understanding that being cunning, flexible, and resourceful does not mean being a cheater or appropriating other people’s achievements. And by the way, the aforementioned qualities are excellent when studying in college. Even if the essay was purchased, it does not negate the need to study its content and be ready to answer questions.

Respect People

When you study in college, you automatically find yourself in a multi-environment, which consists of people who come from different cities and countries. All of them have their goals, support individual spiritual values, believe in different gods, or do not believe in them. It is this cultural pluralism that makes it possible to learn to respect people, their opinions, views, goals, and ways to achieve them.

Prioritize

It has been said so many times about the versatility of student life, that there is no point in going back to it again. However, the essence does not change. It is impossible to tear oneself apart between study, sports, the university’s extracurricular life, entertainment, friends, and personal relationships. Therefore, college teaches you to set the right priorities. Today, from morning to night, your priority is training, tomorrow you need to be present at the university football team gathering, and this is a priority. This is a very important skill to be able to determine the main thing at the moment.

Build Relationships

The college teaches another important thing – a good relationship between people is almost a guarantee in the success of any business. It is important to have a good relationship with everyone in college. It is important to find a common language with senior students since only they can tell what to prepare for and, for example, warn about teacher leaps. It is important to have a good relationship with this instructor since it is beneficial to have his approval when you are in sports training tomorrow. It is important to be friends with classmates, with whom you can always ask about the latest events at the lecture if you missed something. Finally, it is important to be friends with your campus neighbours. Otherwise, your life runs the risk of becoming hell. The conclusion is as follows – you will not graduate from college without communication skills of 100 level.

This is not all useful things that can be learned in college. A college education is a real life, and after graduating from it, you will never be the same person. Fortunately, all acquired skills and knowledge will remain with you forever, so use them wisely in adult life.

The Benefits and Importance of a Nap

People, who know the power of a daily nap, know too of its benefit. Having a nap somewhere in the middle of your routine is the best improvement you can have for yourself. If you work from home you have an added advantage since you can lay down in your Casper mattress, put relaxing music on and have a fast nap. Those who are away from home too can get somewhere within their work or school environment and enjoy a quick nap as well. A nap lets you power up for the remaining of the daily duties. If you have a pet you have witnessed how often they take naps, and also other animals that are not necessarily domesticated. There is a great secret that animals seem to know that we humans take for granted. We tend to think naps are for the lazy and undetermined individuals. Hence through this socialization people who take a nap feel ashamed especially in public scenes.

Counters burnout

While most naps are taken during the middle of the day. The reason is mostly since they help counter the burnout and the information overload that has been gained in the first half of the day. Although most people find naps as unnecessary, especially with the workload that is laying ahead of them. It is vital to know naps are awesome ways to boost your productivity and feel refreshed to finish your first half of the day. The difference of people who nap and those who do not is evident in their performance in tasks that they are assigned not limiting to the various daily routines of people.

Lifts mood

You could have had a bad night’s sleep and considering you have to show up at work or school. The cranky mood is evident and it easily rubs off on others unknowingly. Taking a nap at your lunchtime break is the deal breaker for a fresh mood and energy boost to finish up the day. This feeling of contentment after a nap gives you a shift in your mood that is worth it. Hence, the nap stigma that most people are affected with especially when working shift jobs or 12-hour jobs should stop to enable people to experience this self-improvement sleep tool.

Multiplied alertness

A study by NASA found out that a 40-minute nap increases your alertness by 100% a better percentage outcome from the caffeinated and energy drinks we consume to keep alert. When you are overcome with sleepiness especially during your shift work for an instant as a nurse. Taking a short nap will enable you to serve people better, and careless mistakes that can occur when administering medicine to a patient are minimal to none compared to other nurses who despise taking short naps. This works all the time and even short naps after work if you have an event to attend take a short nap to glow you up instead of making you look all weary at the function.

Improves your senses

Our senses can be affected by a relaxed body that has come straight from a nap. Such a case is when you feel almost everything is beautiful. Viewing a sunset is beautiful, food tastes better, bird sounds or music is fantastic to hear and even weird smells don’t smell as horrible. Basically, your senses improve and become clearer and profound after a good nap. Through this, your creativity is also given a boost and you are able to easily get those light bulb moments after a nap than when you are exhausted.

Suppressed cortisol hormone

The cortisol hormone is also known as the sleep hormone. Whereby while you nap for thirty minutes to one hour your cortisol hormone is suppressed. Through this, your body is able to rest and heal effectively from any stress issues that might arise when you were sleep deprived. This is crucial since if the cortisol hormone levels increase they will increase abdominal fat, glucose intolerance and weaken your immune system which has risks that can lead to diabetes and heart ailments.

Keeps you sane

People who are sleep deprived due to poor sleep cycles tend to have hallucinations and imagery’s that they cannot even describe. This is due to the uncoordinated circadian rhythm and a mix up of brain chemicals that make you fatigued. These fake memories due to poor sleep patterns can be improved by taking short naps if a complete rest is impossible due to commitments and to keep you insane before your colleagues think you are going mad.

Other benefits

Napping will assist a lot while handling complex subjects and a lot of workloads that you should study in your school work. Through this, it boosts your memory when you have a nap consistently. It becomes important to retain both your short and long term memory. Another awesome benefit is napping saves your money in a unique way. If you count the amount you spend on a cup of coffee or an energy snack daily to a nap. You could have an excess of thirty dollars with you. Choosing to nap is an inexpensive and natural way of enjoying the benefits you seek out in these caffeinated products.

The western trends and habits have cocooned as to a certain lifestyle of hard work and not taking naps. You may call it a nap or siesta but enjoying it and not going different to your circadian rhythm will improve your life tremendously. The world’s great men and women were also great nappers. Some of them as Churchill, Napoleon, and Edison among others neither did nor forfeit taking their daily nap. Just as having quality sleep is important to every human. A nap has the same effectiveness especially when it is consistently taking the performance of the mind and body to a new level. In summary, since naps take only a few minutes giving it a try and practising it for a while you will be able to see the differences when you napped and did not.

I hope you enjoyed reading so much about the quick naps. Now, don’t feel guilty of them!

The Grandest Day of Your Life: 3 Ways to Immortalize a Wedding

Every couple wants to remember their wedding day with fondness and pride. It doesn’t matter if they had a small immediate family only ceremony or a huge affair with hundreds of guests. This is a day that never loses its importance in a person’s life. So, how do you immortalize your perfect wedding? Good photographs and a movie would keep the event fresh in your mind and let you relive it whenever you want. The wedding should be made to be worth photographing with planning and decor.

When the Plans Are Set, Look for A Photographer

Anyone can take photos, but only a few talented photographers can bring the wedding to life with still photos and movies. Plan to hire a videographer for your special day. These special photographic experts are trained and talented at taking videos and still photographs of a wedding capturing all the most special moments and people.

Look for videographers near the wedding site and visit their websites to view examples of their work. Compare several videographers and compare their work and their prices. Then call each of them to check on their availability on your wedding date. Ask for references. Will they meet with you before the wedding so you can tell them the most important shots to get and plan when photographic work will be allowed? How long will the wait for the finished work be?

Making the Wedding Worth Photographing

Once the wedding photographer, date, and location are finalized it is time to plan the perfect wedding. This wedding should be within an affordable budget for the couple or the bride’s parents depending on who is paying for the wedding. Make the venue pop with beautiful flowers and carefully chosen décor. Choose a colour scheme and a theme for the décor.

Decorate both the wedding site and the wedding reception site in coordinating colours. Bridal bouquets should be echoed in table bouquets, desserts and wedding cake. Choose an attractive and meaningful site for the wedding and reception. Coordinate the invitations, table linens, table and place markers, and more. And, don’t overdo the décor. Sometimes less is more.

Making the Wedding Mean More to Guests

Now that you have a beautiful place for a wedding and a good photographer, go one step further and take a few steps to make the wedding more meaningful and inclusive for guests. At the beginning of the wedding ceremony, thank all the guests for their attendance and the contributions they have made to your lives.

Next, tell the story of your romance and lives. This can be done in written format each table, during the wedding ceremony, or at the reception from the head table. Then, invite the guests to be part of this meaningful event. They can be invited to write messages about how they know the couple, giving blessings, or giving well wishes. These messages can be tied to a special tree or slipped into a box or another container.

The reception is another chance to include guests in your happiness with music chosen to commemorate the romance, sing-along songs, and more. There should be a time when guests can speak to the new couple and give verbal blessings. A photo booth could be fun. Disposable cameras at each table for guests to record the event from their perspective work well.

A wedding can be truly monumental if it is well planned and thoughtfully executed to include guests. The photography choices can enhance the event. A lovely setting completes the event.

Review June 5, 2019

Amrutam Face Clean-Up Review

Hello, beauties! Today, I am back with another review. You know how much I love taking care of my skin. I think it’s more like an investment than just a routine. A few months back, I got to try two products from an all-natural, Indian ayurvedic skin and hair care brand called Amrutam. One of them was a hair care product (which I’ll review very soon) and the other was a skincare product called Amrutam Face Clean-Up which is what I am going to review in this post.

Price- ₹1,199 (Buy here)

Packaging-

Amrutam DIY Face Clean-up comes in a plastic bottle with a metal screw cap and with a plastic stopper cork to prevent spillage. The packaging is very sturdy and convenient to carry when you are travelling. I wish they had included a pump dispenser for easier use.

Product Description-

This product is a do-it-yourself face and skin repair. It can also be called an at-home clean-up that deep cleanses your pores by extracting dirt from the skin and rejuvenates it from within. It has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties which help in acne prevention and dark spots.

How to use:

Place a small amount of Face Clean-Up in your hands. Massage into skin in a circular motion with fingers to get all areas. Leave on for 20 minutes for deep pore cleansing. Wash with warm water and pat dry. Enjoy soft, balanced skin!

Usage:

2-3 times a week.

Ingredients:

Badam (Prunus amygdalus – Fruit) 2 gm, Ghrit Kumari (Aloebarbadensis – leaf) 1 gm, Khus khus (Cannabis Indica -Fruit) 1 gm, Chironji (Buchanania Lanzan – Fruit) 1 gm, Kesar (Crocus sativus – style & stigma) 500mg, Yashad Bhasam (Ayurvedic classical medicine -A.F.I.) 5 gm, Haldi Powder (Curcuma long – Root) 1 gm, Chandan Powder (Santalum album – Stem) 1 gm, Natural Preservative 300mg, Water Base Q.S, Fragrance Q.S

Almond helps in the anti-ageing process as they contain Vitamin E and other antioxidants in them. They help in eliminating the harmful free radicals from our body and help our skin maintain its young lustre and glow.

Aloe Vera is a wonder plant for our skin and overall health as well. It is beneficial in the treatment of acne, moisturizing the skin and act as an anti-ageing agent for our skin.

Poppy seeds or Khus Khus will help with achieving clear skin, treatment of eczema and inflammation and they also work as a wonderful moisturizer.

Chironji with its rich vitamins and minerals is very important for healthy skin. It’s highly effective in the treatment of acne and pimples as well.

Kesar is a luxurious ingredient we add in Amrutam Face Clean Up, because of its numerous benefits for your skin. Saffron has been used anciently by Romans and Egyptians as well as a healing agent, it is told that Cleopatra used to use Kesar in her baths because of its cosmetic properties. It helps in the treatment of dry skin, improves skin texture, tones your skin, treats acne and dull skin and also helps in skin lightening.

Yashad Bhasma is an ancient ayurvedic bhasma formulated with aloe vera and zinc oxide, it is highly beneficial in the treatment of acne, pimples and scars.

Product Texture-

The texture of Amrutam Face Clean-Up is very runny, slurpy texture. I think the aloe vera in it makes it a little slurry and viscid. The liquidity of the products helps in spreading the product all across the face very easily.

My Experience with Amrutam Face Clean-Up

I know how happy my skin feels when it is treated with natural ingredients. That’s why I always prefer playing around with natural skincare products. When it comes to Ayurveda, I have not tried too many brands but those I’ve used has left me satisfied. So, when I got the chance to try out Amrutam Face Clean-up, I did not hesitate to say yes to the collaboration because from my past experiences, I have a huge trust in Ayurvedic products.

Before starting with the review, let me tell you what was my skin condition before I started using this product. I started using it in January. Usually, my skin is very dry and dull during winters. I also had an issue of roughness on the skin due to the lack of moisture. I did not have a breakout issue or pigmentation or scarring.

After the very first use, the roughness of my skin was 98% gone and it felt so smooth on touching which was so unusual for my skin during winter. It did not make my skin dry or dehydrated after the whole procedure, instead, it added balanced moisture to the face. It also eliminated the dullness to quite an extent and added a healthy glow.

I have used this even during summers and it did not break me out or made my skin oilier (because I have combination skin and my t-zone becomes super oily in summers.) Even in summer, this product has made my skin glow from within.

I would highly recommend you guys to give this product a shot if you are feeling really fancy and want to take your skincare game a notch higher. The ingredients are 100% safe and it works pretty well without the damaging your skin. I would also like to emphasize on reading the instructions carefully. This product will only work for you if you follow all the steps correctly.

How to be More Productive Everyday | Pep Talk #Ep2

Productiveness is not something that can be acquired by following a set of rules. Productiveness is a state of mind that can only be achieved if you genuinely feel productive. In this post, I will share with you how to be more productive every day. These points are something I personally follow or you can say I feel productive when I follow these.

Be a Morning Person

I know, I know! It’s easier said than done. But trust me, you can. I’ll tell you a trick that is 100% effective. Put an alarm next to you and once the alarm rings just get out of the bed and get yourself moving. No social media checks, no pondering, no dozing off again! It has to work. Also, make a list of tasks that you need to do for the day the night before. I am sure the pressure to complete the task won’t let you snooze your alarm clock.

I have always loved waking up early in the morning. The tranquillity and the freshness of the air have always played a major role in bringing out my inner productive person. Also, one of the boons of waking up early is you get plenty of time to finish all your chores. Maybe, you’ll get more time to enjoy your tea or your coffee or to upload more Insta stories!

Start the Day off with Relaxing Music

Last year, when I started facing some anxiety issues (I’ll tell you about it in a separate post), I started using some meditation apps which, to some extent, helped. Soon, I felt like I was not in a state of mind to completely concentrate on some for 15-20 minutes. All these meditation sessions had some amazing relaxing music in the background that made me think that maybe I can listen to this type of music while doing my daily morning routine and it worked! It de-stressed me, made me calmer and soon my restlessness was gone.

“Music is the Medicine of the Mind” – John A. Logan

Before starting a productive day you must enliven your senses. That’s what relaxing music does to you! You can find plenty of them on YouTube.

Plan Your Day Ahead

Let me share a fun fact about me with you. I cannot function without writing everything down in my notebook. I cannot take mental notes. Kudos to you if you can. I like to plan my day ahead, typically the night before, because A. it saves time, B. you already have a plan to follow.

Recently I have found a great app that is the most efficient online planner. The best part about this is that it takes very little space (2.5MB). Earlier, I used to use a physical planner but I found it hard to maintain. Then I went on to plan on Google Calendar, but then again it was not convenient enough for me. Finally, I found Dreamie Planner. This is available on the Android Playstore and it’s completely free. (#notsponspored)

Make a Routine

This helped me a lot in time management and getting better at it every day. A daily routine can help you be more productive every day. Making a routine and getting accustomed to it helps a lot in achieving daily goals and in dividing the time evenly. Allot time-frames for each task to some extent that it doesn’t get in the way of your flow or ease of work. Also, keep a recreation gap for you in the routine. Getting a break is also as important as working. In short, make a routine that is more practical and doable than an overtiring one.

Find a Cozy & Peaceful Corner

Your workspace plays a very important role in setting your mood for a productive and creative time of work. It acts as a mood board that inspires you and helps you stay focused. The main issue I used to have when I started taking my work seriously is to lose focus and get disorganised at times. A peaceful corner really adds up to the overall mood. Even if you are a student, try studying in a peaceful spot. That helps a lot.
I like to decorate my little workspace/desk with things that inspire my work and my goals. Do whatever suits your needs- add cute or quirky objects, fancy stationery, things that will invite you every day to that space.

Create a Vision Board

Mood boards or vision boards are really helpful if you have issues in focusing on certain things. A vision board is a collage of pictures, quotes or random things that you take inspiration from. A vision board gives you an atmosphere that helps you create and produce content. It’s like the dots that you join with your imagination to acquire valuable content.

Here’s an example of a mood board/vision board-

Set Small Goals for the Day

I don’t know about you but I am the happiest when I am productive. I know being surrounded by work can be really tiring and hectic but hey! isn’t it the purpose of our lives? To be working and make every moment count? At least for me, it is. I have always wanted to be the independent woman that I am slowly becoming. I have always wanted to be my own boss, which I am today. In short, I am living the life I have always wanted to live and in the way I wanted it to be. But you know the drill, no pain no gain! Nothing comes easy in life, everyone has to sacrifice something or the other in the process of becoming themselves. For me, it was my sleep, my laziness, and my sensitiveness. But then, I am in the process of overcoming all these obstacles.

I know how hard it is to cope up with the hell lot of work that bloggers and influencers are supposed to do. It’s very easy to get detached and lose motivation at times. I hope incorporating these little things in your daily routine would make a change. With this, I wrap up #Episode2 of Pep Talk. If you want me to cover any other topic then let me know in the comments. See you soon!

How to Adjust Size of Your Lace Front Wig to Be Suitable

The most popular full lace and front human hair wigs, they are very popular and selling well whether online or on offline shops. Lace front wig is typically worn by women, it has lace mesh base at the front area where is hairline, the rest of the wig mainly made of hair wefts and there is not wig cap base at all. A full lace wig can be worn in a high ponytail and whole full lace wig cap was made with many types of lace base material. the lace base commonly used include french lace,swiss lace,stretch lace,monofilament lace(#3 lace),etc. there are adjustable straps at the back of cap of lace front wig that can be adjusted the size of the cap when you want the wig more suitable and wants to feel comfortable.

Style your natural hair, as usual, would wear it with lace front wigs. That may include braiding it or slicking it down. Remember that the bulkiness of your natural hair will affect your lace front wig fits well.

Secure your hair with a stocking cap or wig liner. This is to create a flat surface so that you can attach the lace front wig for better fitting.

Place the wig on your head to check where the hairline goes. When the lace front wig is in the position you want, compare which side is too small or too big. sometimes it’s caps may be larger from the crown area, back of your head or around the ears.

Remove the wig from your head and turn it’s inside out, then you can check the wig cap carefully.

Lift the ribbon below the ear tabs that runs from bottom to top and fold it over. Sew the ribbon to the wig cap with a needle and thread that matches the colour of the wig cap. Put the wig back on your head to determine if it fits accurately. If the wig fits good, you are done. If the lace front wig is still too large, you can adjust the straps at the back of the wig cap to make the circumference of cap smaller.

Continue in this manner until your lace front wigs are as small as what you need. Make sure to leave enough room to accommodate the normal motion of your head.

Summer Shower Routine Ft Skinella

Summer is at its fullest and it’s reaching up to 40°C every other day here where I live. In this condition, there is no other way to survive than having a shower twice or thrice a day. Every time you have a shower, you need to make sure you smell good because summer makes you all sweaty and stinky. A nice fragrant bath can make you feel a lot fresher. So, choosing good shower products is very important now. Today, I’ll be talking about two of my favourite products for a perfect summer shower routine from the brand Skinella– Skinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash and Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub.

My Summer Shower Routine

My summer shower routine includes only two steps- washing my body and scrubbing my body. I wash my hair thrice a week so that doesn’t include in the everyday shower routine. Thrice a week, I also use an intimate wash. Currently, I am loving the Everteen Intimate Hygiene Wash (read the review). Coming back to the two bath products, I use the Mandarin Gel Body Wah for squeaky clean my body and then the Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub to get rid of the dead cells.

Skinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash

Price-₹260 for 200g (Buy here)

I love using shower gels during summer. Shower gels are more fragrant than soaps and the fragrance lingers for quite some time. Also, shower gels are more hydrating in comparison to soaps. Because you cannot put oil or heavy creams on your body post-shower, it is clever to use a moisturizing body wash in the first place. You can then hydrate your body with a light lotion if you feel the need.

Skinella Mandarin Gel Body Wash has an exotic mandarin fragrance which freshens you up and makes your shower time pleasant. The citrusy smell is apt for summertime.

As I can already make out, the body wash comes in a gel form, a little product goes a long way. This product is suitable for all skin types. My body is dry most of the time and this product doesn’t dry it out and provides long-lasting hydration because of the essential oils in it.

Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub

Price-₹285 for 150g (Buy here)

No matter what the season is, I love scrubbing my body. It doesn’t only help me get rid of the dead cells but also makes me feel a lot fresher and my skin feels supple and smooth. Skinella Pink Guava Body Polish Scrub is one of my favourite body exfoliators because it has very finely milled scrubbing particles that they claim to be real oink guava. It works very gently yet effectively on my skin. I hate scrubs that feel like wet sand on the body. I don’t like exfoliating my body so much that it feels like ripping my skin off of my body. A mild scrub with tender particles works best for me.

I am quite disappointed with the fragrance. It sounds like an exotic aroma but in reality, it doesn’t. The smell is so faint that it almost smells like nothing.

This scrub doesn’t dry out your skin. You don’t feel the urge to apply body lotion right after the shower. This is hydrating to some extent.

Where to Buy Skinella Products-

Skinella products are exclusively available on Amazon.in. They are available in singles and also in kits and combos.

What I love about the brand Skinella, is that they provide the best results within budget. You don’t get to try different exotic variants in such a little price. Everyone can try their products from professionals to college students. Their products are 100% safe to use. I’ve also got three more products from their face care range. Feel free to let me know if you want me to review them as well.

Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil Review

It had been quite a while (read ages) since I last oiled my hair. The last time I had oiled my hair was when I was in school. Recently, I decided to give the Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil a go because of two reasons. One, I was planning to include hair oiling to my hair care regime. Second, I have got sent a bottle of the hair oil by the brand right at that moment. It’s been a month since I started using this hair oil religiously and today I’ll share with you my experience.

Price- ₹185 (Buy here)

Packaging-

Lalam Oil Plus hair oil comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a flip cap and the bottle comes inside a white box which has all the information printed on it. The packaging is nothing special but it is totally spill-proof, thus very travel-friendly.

Formulation & The Science Behind-

RootBioTec HO
Prevents hair loss, stops premature greying and promotes growth.

Based on an extract from a hairy root culture from basil, Root Phytotec HO helps reduce hair loss by inhibiting 5α reductase activity and by stimulating dermal papilla cells.
Hair loss affects both women and men. In 95 % of all cases of hair loss occurring exclusively on the head,
the cause is an increased sensitivity of the hair follicles
to the androgenic hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Androgenic alopecia, which is the name of the condition, is hereditary, permanent and continues as one gets older.

Root Phytotec – a Novel Technique developed to produce Cosmetic Actives
For the production of Root Phytotec HO, Mibelle Biochemistry developed a novel sustainable technique to produce high amounts of the active compounds of basil in bioreactors.

The “hairy roots” technology is a type of plant tissue culture that is used to produce high quality, phytogenic compounds of pharmaceutical value.

Long lasting benefits of Root Phytotec

• Prevents hair loss
• For fuller hair
• Stimulates hair papilla cells
• Rejuvenates scalp

My Experience with Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil

My scalp is always very oily. That is the reason why I wash my hair more often than I should. It tends to trip off the natural oils from my scalp. So, it was necessary for me to oil my hair at least twice to stop my hair from getting dry. I always thought, if I oil my hair it will make it worse since my scalp is already very oily. But, to my surprise, it did nothing of that sort.

I use this oil thrice a week to avoid any extra oiliness in my hair but the company says the best results will show up if you use this oil every day. If you are like me, use it thrice a week and you will get a good result too. It has arrested my hair fall for about 60%.

The best thing about this oil is that it is non-sticky and does not cause any irritation to my scalp or facial skin. A great tip on hair-oiling for you would be- always apply hair oil on a clean scalp. Shampoo your hair first and then apply the hair oil the next day. It will allow the oil to come in contact with your scalp and provide nourishment.

When I massage my scalp with this oil, my hair looks and feels more manageable than ever after I wash my hair. It has a mild fragrance of herbs, mostly methi. The smell lingers for long even after a couple of washes.

I am satisfied with the Lalam Oil Plus Hair Oil. Have you used it yet?

Five Best Outfits for Exercise

‘Take care of the body. It’s the only place you have to live’- this simple little quote by Jim Rohn continues to hold its own decades after it was said. Maintaining a sound body is indeed something whose importance can’t be overstated. At the same time, it can be a gruelling task which demands the perfect workout outfits. So, this summer, just pull your hair into a bun, get into the sporty groove and hit the gym looking like a million dollars. Here are five of the most perfect outfits for exercise that speak to both comfort & style:

Track-pants & T-shirts

Kick up your cardio in track-pants and breezy crop t-shirts. Go for fabrics that are soft on the skin, non-irritable, breathable, and versatile such as bamboo pulp, polyester, nylon, polypropylene, and spandex among others. The reason for using these lightweight fabrics is that they wick away sweat. Make working out a fun affair by choosing striking colours such as fluorescent pink, electric blue, and deep plum. Printed track-pants look great with solid T-shirts and vice-versa. Set a target & challenge yourself every day!

Playsuits

Playsuits are a type of jumpsuits for women which can be worn for a simple yet stylish look during workout sessions. Go for attractive and unique styles of workout playsuits such as open back cross strap jumpsuits, sleeveless backless bandage cut-out mesh playsuits, and catsuit cosplay playsuits. These are great outfits for your treadmill work-out and weight training sessions. Also, you can go for ems training suits to workout better.

Tube Tops & Shorts

Exercising in unusual, chic clothes not only boosts your confidence but also gives you a chance to flaunt your hard-earned figure with aplomb. Tube tops and shorts are a distinctly edgy combination, be it for regular gym workout or yoga. Good-looking and comfortable, this sartorial duo is sure to lend oodles of oomph to the wearer’s look. Perform, feel and look great with tube tops in vivid colours and high-rise shorts that will make you stand out of the crowd.

Kurta and Tights

For those with a more restrained sense of style, and those who do not like to really show off their body, the best option is to don a kurta and pair of leggings or jeggings. While the gym or jogging track may not be a fashion show or fancy get-together, you shouldn’t let clothing consciousness come your way. When you go to the gym or perform yoga, it’s best to wear kurtas for women that come in plain as well as printed designs. Soft, three-quarter sleeve kurtas made of cotton and lycra leggings will give you plenty of comfort, flexibility, and inhibited elegance while exercising.

Tank Tops and Capris

Burn up the sweat with trendy tank tops and capris. The best thing about this outfit is that it is comfortable and super-stylish at the same time. Just make sure that the tank top has a snug fit and the capris are loose, in order to give your body the perfect balance of attractiveness and comfort as extremely tight clothes, while appearing stylish, are considered unhealthy for the body (particularly while exercising).

The best workout clothes are those that conceal your flaws while highlighting your assets. Make fitness a habit with these chic workout ensembles and inspire others to do the same!
