Hello #blogfam,
Eid-ul-Fitr is around the corner, so me and my friend Divya got together to share our Eid outfit looks with you all. Before we share our looks, let us read about Eid-ul-Fitr and importance of this festival for Muslims.
About Eid-ul-Fitr
Eid-ul-Fitr is an important religious festival for Muslims that is celebrated to mark the end of Ramadan. Ramadan is the Islamic Holy month of fasting. Muslims fast for 29 or 30 days from the dawn to the sunset. At the end of Ramadan, Muslims offer prayers and wish 'Eid Mubarak' to their family, relatives and friends. Immediate relatives and kids are also given gifts known as 'Eidi'. They also prepare sweet dish named as 'Sewaiyan' and enjoy having it with all.
Eid Outfit Look-1
Green colour has traditional association in Islam (In Quran, it is associated with paradise), so I wanted to create traditional green outfit look. I picked up Libas Women's Gold Foil Printed Skirt Style Kurti with Adjustable Side Dori.
Outfit Detailing...
This outfit is made of best quality crepe that can be worn on special occasions like Eid-ul-Fitr, weddings or any other family occasion. I wore an anarkali style kurta. The top of the kurta has golden foil print on green base. The top also has golden border to differentiate the top with the lower part of the kurta.
Extra Detailing...
The kurta has adjustable side dori hangings with which you can loosen or tighten the top according to your body size. The sleeves are plain green in colour with a printed foil border at the end.
The Twirling Skirt Kurta...
The lower part of the kurta is an anarkali skirt with golden border. The area of the lower skirt is large enough for you to hold and twirl in joy.
Add Some Glam...
Never forget to add some glam in your outfit looks with makeup and jewellery. I wore simple makeup look with a winged eyeliner and magenta lipstick. I also wore a silver clip-on nose ring.
Eid Mubarak to All! May Allah Bless You All With the Best.
We hope you liked the Eid outfit ideas. Do share the blog post with your family and friends. Also let us know how did you like the outfits and what you have planned for your Eid outfit look, in the comments section below.

Hello #blogfam,
Last month, I visited one of the most famous place in Old Delhi with my friends. We wanted to get a photoshoot done, so we choose Chandni Chownk as our location. Chandni Chownk is a busy place in Old Delhi which is famous for historical monuments, wholesale shopping and some oldest eating joints. We planned the entire visit beforehand so that we could complete our photoshoot before the sun get's high on us (as it is hot in Delhi from April). So, let me take you along with the experience of A Day in Chandni Chownk, Delhi, India.
Wake up Early...
We went on a Sunday as the markets are closed and we would see less crowd. Whenever you plan a photoshoot then make sure that you wake up early. It is said that morning pictures come out to be really good. So, all of us got ready and met at Kanhaiya Nagar Metro Station around 7: 15 am. By the way, let me tell you Divya and Vishakha joined me for the photoshoot and Chanchal was our photographer for that day.
Travel Options...
If you want to visit Chandni Chownk then one of the best travel mode is Delhi Metro. There are multiple metro station around this area like:
Red Fort : If you have to visit Red Fort then get down at this metro station and walk for 10 minutes.
Jama Masjid : This metro station is just near Jama Masjid and Meena Bazaar.
Chandni Chownk : If you want to visit the main market then get down at this metro station and walk freely while shopping on the go.
Chawri Bazaar : This metro station is near the areas like Chawri Bazaar and Nai Sarak.
Our First Location...
We got down at Kashmere Gate and took Violet Line Metro (going towards Escorts Mujesar) and got down at Jama Masjid. The metro station exit gate is near Meena Bazaar.
Meena Bazaar
In Mughal Era, Meena Bazaar was mean to be a market to entertain women. In historic times, it was known as Khus Ruz (Day of Joy). The market was opened on particular days for women only. This market is located between Jama Masjid and Dariba Kalan. It has different shopkeepers selling various items on local stalls. If you are looking for affordable or low priced items then you can visit Meena Bazaar and shop. But remember, you need to bargain well and search for good quality things, so visit this place when you have some extra time in hand.
Jama Masjid
We went through the street of Meena Bazaar and reached Jama Masjid. This was our first location to get clicked. Jama Masjid is one of the largest mosques in India. It was built by Shah Jahan and inaugurated by an Imam from Bukhara. This is an Islamic architect structure and enlightens with lights and joy during the month of Ramadan (Muslim's Holy month). When you are visiting this mosque then you should not wear short dresses as you would be prohibited from entering the place or you would be required to wear a long gown available at the entrance. We located a good place at the entrance stairs of Jama Masjid and got clicked there by Chanchal, our photographer.
Red Fort
Once we were done with our shoot at Jama Masjid then we walked down (for 20 minutes) to Red Fort. Red Fort is an historic fort in Delhi which was the main residence of Mughal dynasty emperors till 1856. It is a fort open for public to visit and see the best designs of our historical architecture. There is large open space outside the fort, so we prepared to get clicked there. You will notice a lot of public at Red Fort, so just ignore and get best clicks. We wrapped up from this place soon and then headed to Chawri Bazaar.
Chawri Bazaar
We took a rickshaw (paid Rs. 80 for four people) from Red Fort and went to Chawri Bazaar (near Chawri Bazaar Metro Station). Chawri Bazaar is a wholesale market for brass, paper and copper products. It was established in 1840, being the first wholesale market of Old Delhi.
You can get down at Chawri Bazaar metro station to visit this market. As we went on a holiday, so the markets were closed and we could see different coloured shutters around. These shutters became our photography backdrop and we got good pictures clicked.
Chandni Chownk
We roamed around Chawri Bazaar to get random clicks and then took metro to Chandni Chownk. You can also take a rickshaw to Chandni Chownk, but that day some construction work was going on so the main road of Chandni Chownk had one way traffic. We got clicked in vehicles too for some extra fun. We head over to the famous Old Jalebi Wala shop to enjoy some samosa and jalebi. This shop is very famous and serves one of the best Jalebi. It is opposite Central Bapist Church, Dariba Kalan. It is a small shop since 1884 being run by different generations till date. They serve hot and delicious jalebi and samosa. We enjoyed the delicious treat a lot.
Last Stop...
As we finished our photoshoot then we headed to Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib. This is historic sikh gurudwara where the ninth Sikh Guru, Teg Bahadur Sahib Ji, was beheaded on 24th November 1675 on the orders of Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb (because Guru Sahib refused to convert into Islam). This is a peaceful place where Ragis recite hymns all day long. People visit the gurudwara and bow infront of Guru Granth Sahib and pray for themselves.
Not to Miss...
Opposite Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib is famous Benagli shop named as Annapurna Bhandar. This shop serves authentic Bengali sweets and few snacks. This shop is so famous that all their sweets are sold by 5 pm. You must taste some Bengali sweets from this shop.
Back Home...
Around 12 noon, we took metro from Chandni Chownk metro station to our respective stations near our home. All of us enjoyed the day at Chandni Chownk and came back home with lots of good memories.
That's all from this one day experience! Do comment and share this blog post with others to spread the news.
Thank you!

Hello #blogfam,
Here, I am back with another #kbeauty review. I am a fan of Korean Beauty products since 2017. Earlier it was little difficult to get Korean beauty products in India, but now you will find many Korean Beauty products LIVE on NYKAA. Isn't this great? Recently, Nykaa launched TONYMOLY on their platform, so I immediately ordered my favourite range TONYMOLY Pureness 100 Sheet Masks.
About TONYMOLY
Back in 2006, TONYMOLY was born as a brand in Seoul, South Korea. Their dedicated team always wanted to provide the best and be pioneers in Korean Beauty. Their hard work and intensive research made, TONYMOLY one of the best Korean Brand in few years. At present, this brand is known for their high-quality ingredients which are combined with latest technology to bring out the best product in the market.

Their fusion of ideas and innovations makes people go crazy for their every launch. At present (by 2019), TONYMOLY is present in 50+ countries and have around 950+ Brand shops and 12000+ CS Shops worldwide.
About TONYMOLY Pureness 100 Sheet Masks
The fact that made me buy TONYMOLY Pureness 100 Sheet Masks is that they are non-bleached 100% cotton sheet masks. I have sensitive skin, so I prefer using 100% cotton sheet masks to hydrate my skin. The sheet mask is soft and enriched with lots of essence inside the pack. It not only gives moisture to the skin, but also caters to different skin concerns with regular usage.
Features
1. These sheet masks are made up of 100% cotton sheet, so they are safe for every skin type.
2. They are free from paraben, benzophenone, triethanolamine, talc and colour additives.
3. Each variant of sheet mask in this range provides moisture and glow to the skin.
4. It has 10 variants which cater to different skin concerns as mentioned below:
Pureness 100 Green Tea Mask Sheet (Skin Soothing) : Green tea is a nice ingredient for people with oily and acne skin types. This sheet mask helps to soothe skin and provide necessary hydration to control the occurrence of sebum on the skin (with regular usage, over a period of time).
Pureness 100 Caviar Mask Sheet (Nutrition) : Sometimes, we neglect our skin due to busy schedule, so as the end result our skin lacks nutrition. This variant provides enough nutrition to revive your skin and fight against sings of ageing. It is suitable for all skin types and best for people above the age of 25.
Pureness 100 Pearl Mask Sheet (Brightening) : Who doesn't want glowing skin? Well, pearl is one of the best ingredient known to provide brightening skin. With regular usage, your skin gains the benefits of pearl and makes your skin appear brightened. Pearl is also a good anti-ageing ingredient.
Pureness 100 Red Ginseng Mask Sheet (Shine) : Ginseng is a popular ingredient in South Korea. It is known to increase the lifespan of skin cells. Red Ginseng helps to improve skin's elasticity and makes your skin shiny. It is also good for anti-ageing skin properties.
Pureness 100 Placenta Mask Sheet (Vitality) : All of us go through the ageing phase, but if I say we can delay ageing or even prevent it for long? Yes, if you keep your skin moisturised well and protect it from harmful rays and external factors then you can delay ageing of skin. This sheet mask is known to revitalise skin and provide anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle benefits too.
Pureness 100 Collagen Mask Sheet (Elasticity) : As we grow up, our skin looses bounce and elasticity. It is necessary to take care of skin when we enter our 20s. Collagen is one of the main ingredient that helps to maintain the elasticity of the skin, so this sheet mask caters to elasticity and firmness skin concerns.
Pureness 100 Propolis Mask Sheet (Skin Soothing) : Youthful skin lacks immunity if it is not given good care, so this sheet mask takes care of the skin's immunity and also provides anti-inflammatory benefits. If your skin is sensitive or you have infections then you should give this variant a try.
Pureness 100 Shea Butter Mask Sheet (Moisturising) : You might have noticed that I spoke about moisturising skin well to protect it from various skin concerns. So, shea butter is one of the best ingredient to provide ample of moisturising to the skin, making it look soft and youthful.
Pureness 100 Hyaluronic Mask Sheet (Hydration) : Specially in summers, the heat takes out the hydration from our skin. We need to drink enough water as well as keep it hydrated from outside too. This sheet mask has the best ingredient that hydrated every skin type, keeping it supple and soft.
Price and Shelf Life
Each Sheet Mask is priced at Rs. 100 in India on Nykaa.com and $8 in other countries.
The sheet mask has 12 months of expiry. I got sheet masks which are Manufactured in January 2019 and Imported in India in April 2019. These sheet masks will expire by December 2019.
How to Use?
I am sure, you would be now excited to try out these sheet masks after knowing their benefits and the price being reasonable too. Now, let's dive into the usage of sheet masks:
Select the variant and tear the sheet mask pack...
Take out the sheet mask carefully...
Unfold the sheet mask...
Apply the sheet mask on the face...
Make sure it fits nicely onto the face...
Leave it for 15-20 minutes...
Once the time is over...
Remove the sheet mask from the face...
Massage with the sheet mask or a facial roller or with your fingers for 1-2 minutes...
And you are done!
Usage Time
It is recommended to use sheet masks at least thrice a week for better results. You can also use them on alternative days or even every day to see best results. I have started using it every alternative day and my skin is much better than before.
My Experience
Using of sheet masks have been popular overseas. Busy people, overseas, buy one month packs and use sheet masks every day to take care of their skin. I have been using sheet masks since 18 months three times a week and I have seen a drastic change in my skin.
TONYMOLY sheet masks are surely made up of cotton and safe for every skin type. It stays well onto the face. It doesn't slip and neither irritate the skin. You can wear the sheet mask and relax with closed eyes for 15-20 minutes. The first effect that you would see after using a sheet mask is that your skin appears to be moisturised and little brightened as well. With regular usage these results last longer or even become permanent as the essence goes into the skin and provides the missing nutrients to the layers of skin.
Rating
I would rate TONYMOLY sheet masks 5/5 as these are now my favourite. Whosoever wants to try sheet masks would surely go for TONYMOLY Pureness 100 Sheet Masks and enjoy the experience.
I hope this blog post would make you try sheet masks at least once! Do share this post with your friends and family members. Also leave a feedback comment below and keep supporting.

Hello #blogfam,
Few months back, I was gifted Motorola Pulse Escape Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones by iRobot during the launch of iRobot Roomba Robotic Vacuum Cleaner. The headphones are customised by the brand as there is iRobot logo on the top of the headphones. I have been a Sony lover since 10 years, so I am used to the high quality technology when it comes to sound. Now, let's see if Motorola Pulse Escape Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones met my expectations or not.
Motorola Pulse Escape Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones
Motorola Pulse Escape Headphones were launched in India around September 2017. They are lightweight and can be folded as well, which makes them travel friendly. They have soft over-ear cushions that are comfortable to wear and listen to music (or any other sound) for long hours.

The MRP of the Headphones is Rs. 6499/- but you can get heavy discount on Amazon (Click Here).
My Experience
I got Motorola Pulse Escape Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones as a PR gift from iRobot, so I was excited to try them. When I opened the box then I took out the headphones. The headphones were folded, hence they take less space when I carry them while travelling. I connected the headphones to the power bank with the USB so that they get fully charged. It is always recommended to charge devices before using them for the first time.
Once the headphones were fully charged then I turned ON the Bluetooth and connected the headphones to my mobile phone. The headphones were visible as "Pulse Escape", so I paired them with my device. Once the headphones are connected to the device then you don't need to reconnect every time. The headphones gets connected automatically every time you turn ON the Bluetooth. Just wear, play and enjoy!
There are play, pause and forward buttons with which you can Play Music, Pause or Move to the Next Song respectively. You can also answer a phone call through the headphones by clicking on the Play button.
The headphones work well for 8-10 hours in single charge. But I don't let the battery drain completely as it is not good for the life of digital devices, so I put the headphones to charge when there is 30% battery left.
As the brand claims, the music experience is noise-free and yes I enjoyed listening to my favourite song and didn't care what was going on in the background. But there is one thing that I didn't like that the song which I was listening could be heard by my family too. Though the person listening to music will have noise-free experience, but the world outside would be able to hear what you are playing if the volume is full. The sound comes out of the headphones, which I didn't like. Except this, Motorola Pulse Escape Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones are amazing if you are looking for budget friendly headphones to enjoy music or talk hands-free.
Rating
I would rate these headphones as 4/5. I am using them and love to hear music while working or travelling around. So, you should give it a try if you are on tight budget and want a good quality headphones.
I hope you like the review. Do share with your family and friends. Don't forget to leave a comment below and read other blog posts as well.

Hello #blogfam,
I am back with another healthy product review. When I was a kid then my mother used to massage my body with coconut oil. Since my teenage days, I am using coconut oil every night to wake with moisturised and better skin. Not only this, I also use coconut oil in my homemade face packs and hair packs. But when it comes to selecting the coconut oil then I prefer using Natural Virgin Coconut Oil. Three weeks back, I got introduced to Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil and placed an order for it. It has been three weeks that I have been using Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil for skin, hair and cooking. Surprised? Yes, one oil can cater to all your problems related to skin, hair and cooking. Read further to know more about it.
About Farm Origin
Farm Origin is a brand name Marketed by Rosas Food Products, Coorg and Manufactured by SA Exports, Dindigul. The brand aims at providing Pure and Healthy products to the consumers for the betterment of their health. They don't compromise on the quality of their products. The Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil is extracted from fresh coconut milk which is enriched with lots of benefits for our body.
About Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil
Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil is unrefined, cold pressed oil that is extracted from fresh coconut milk.
Why Cold Pressed?
Coconut oil is available in two forms - cold pressed and refined. Cold pressed coconut oil is unrefined, so it has higher levels of anti-oxidants than refined coconut oil. Cold pressed oil doesn't undergo any heat process, hence it retains all the necessary nutrients and is pure form of oil. Refined coconut oil is suitable for sautéing and stir-frying while cold pressed oil is good for heat cooking and baking. Cold pressed coconut oil has natural flavour while refined coconut oil has a hint of flavour (the natural flavour vanishes away when additives are added during the refining process).
Features of Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil
You must have known till now that cold processed coconut oil is better and good for our health. I would prefer using Farm Origin Coconut Oil for the following reasons:
1. It is unrefined, natural and 100% pure.
2. It is extracted from coconut milk, which has healthy benefits for our body.
3. It is superfood that is enriched with anti-oxidants.
4. It can be used to have a better skin and healthy hair.
5. It can also be used for cooking as well as a dietary supplement.
6. It improves immunity and promotes good digestion.
7. It has Zero Trans Fat and Zero Cholesterol, hence it is good for people on diet as well.
8. It is rich in Vitamin E that moisturised skin and helps in having even skin tone.
9. It can also be used as baby oil.
10. It is suitable for all skin and hair types and can be used by women as well as men.
Ingredients
100% unrefined coconut oil (Vegetarian)
Packaging, Colour and Texture
Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil comes in pack of 500 ml bottle. It is unrefined, so the colour of the oil is transparent. The coconut oil is not at all sticky. It penetrates into the skin when massaged for few minutes.
Price and Availability
500 ml of Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil is priced at Rs. 380/-. You can purchase it from Amazon (click here) or WhatsApp on +91 9447488231 for more information.
My Experience
I have been using Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil since three weeks and I have been liking it. This is surely the natural form of coconut oil because the oil is transparent. (As you can see in the image below, it is colourless). The package came packed well in Amazon packaging. The bottle was bubble wrapped to avoid damaged during transit. I specially like the cap of the bottle as it is stiff and closes well, keeping the oil secure in the bottle (the cap is also spill proof).
Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil is non-sticky and penetrates into the skin, hair and scalp easily. It doesn't leave any cast when used on skin. You can:
1. take 2-3 drops and massage well on your face, neck and hands at night.
Results : Wake up to moisturised skin and even skin tone after regular usage.
2. use 2-3 drops in your homemade or ready made face packs to get extra added benefits.
Results : Moisturised skin
Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil doesn't make scalp and hair sticky or oily after use. It conditions your hair and makes then appear soft and shiny. You can:
1. apply it on scalp one night before washing hair or apply 1 hour before washing hair.
Results : Conditions and makes hair healthy
2. apply 2-3 drops on hair after drying and leave-in as a conditioner.
Results : Leaves hair shiny and protects from further damaging
For the first time, I used Virgin Coconut Oil for cooking and surprisingly the dish tasted well and it had a hint of sweet coconut in the taste as well. I asked my mom to cook dishes for a week in Farm Origin Virgin Coconut Oil so that I could notice health benefits of using coconut oil for cooking. After seven days, I noticed that the food tasted good, my digestion improved and I didn't feel bloated any day. Not only this, I noticed that it was maintaining my body well and I could see little inch loss as well, so I am still consuming (since two weeks) food cooked in coconut oil and I feel energetic and healthy. So, if you face digestion or weight issues then you can shift to using Virgin Coconut Oil and get health benefits (Remember that you need to have patience because health results would be slow. Also include some exercise routine in every day life and live a healthier life ahead).
Rating
I would rate this product 5/5 as it is natural and beneficial for our body. I would recommend this specially to people with dry skin. You will see your skin moisturised well within 1-2 months of regular usage. If you face hairfall or dandruff problems then use it twice a week and see reduction in hairfall and dandruff after a month. If you are a fitness freak then replace cooking oils with virgin coconut oil and add on health benefits to your fitness routine.
I hope you this blog post is beneficial to you all. Share this with your family and friends. Leave a comment below with your feedback.
