They can help you in losing weight and keep heart diseases & accumulation of LDL cholesterol in check. A friend of mine recently introduced me to eating healthy seeds to deal with my daily health and immunity. There are more than five but here I'm gonna talk about five seeds which I consumed religiously for a month and I can totally feel the difference. This made me anxious about writing a blog post and to share the same with you guys. Yeah, they are super healthy and most of us ain't eating any of them. What I did was, I purchased the seeds, mixed them well in the desired proportion and crushed them in a fine powder. ( Best way is to eat the variety. ) I stored the same in a jar and consumed a spoon of that powder daily with my breakfast or before going to bed. You can also ad...

It's because a little mascara and our favorite shade of lipstick are all that we need to attack and conquer! We all love makeup and with that comes the use of various products correctly in a correct order and more importantly, with some basic and right tools and techniques. Kabuki, pointies, flats, buffers, stipplers etc. Yea, of course, we all are not experts but for our daily vanity needs, there are some basic makeup tools and brushes we all need.

I'm not really sure i...

The jumpsuit is something to slip on and forget about.  This one is about the most popular, cool and forever classic jumpsuits.  Firstly, let's start with differentiating between jumpsuit and rompers.

There are various things we Lucknowites are proud about and one of them is Sugandhco . Fragrances and exotic itar have always been an integral part of Oudh's culture.  The credit for patronizing and popularizing the perfumery in Lucknow goes to the Nawabs of Oudh, particularly to Nawab Wajid Ali Shah.
