I haven't been a "shower person" all my childhood. I kind of dreaded going in there especially in summers (Awkward? Well there's more awkwardness to come.) because I hate cold water and I can bathe in warm water even in July (told ya!). Overtime, however, I countered my idiotic preferences and now I am a good and regular shower-er. I am a person who will straight on throw it on your face that you smell like the post omelette you had. So smell bad is a big no no in my good books. I like scents that linger on and this little trio got the honor of being in my shower faves because this stuff smell yum! P.S. you can read the review here.

Lastly, although I don't have a huge audience who would cry for me not posting but seriously I AM SORRY. I have been a couch potato lately and have been neglecting this space for like a gagillion years but I just can't manage school and my blog simultaneously because both are pretty labor intensive. A small thanks to my friends who actually missed my blogposts.

1. Makes your skin softer. So if you're like me, you're probably sick of your rough dry skin. Now it's not that I am suggesting your to dive in this gooey goodness cuz of course it's a serious pain to rinse off. What you can do is, you can dilute it by using half Vaseline and half body lotion(my favorite). apply it amywhere you want before going to sleep. However, a shower next morning is mandatory. BONUS! It's a great alternative to cuticle oil.

2. Make your scent last longer! Probably weren't expecting this one, right? You heart it right Vaseline or any petroleum jelly for that matter can make any scent last longer. Just rub in some the gooey goodness in your pressure points and spray on and any scent. It's bound to make you smell great all day!

3. Lightens your lips. Has someone ever asked that you smoke cigarettes because of your awfully dark lips. That happens due to excessive use of makeup and licking. Worry not, I have got the perfect solution for you. Put some Vaseline on your lips before bed or wear it as a lip gloss and let it work its magic. It works.
4. Give you thicker, longer (silky-er?) lashes. This is the chief reason for my love of Vaseline. A couple years back a lash gel was all the rage in the beauty blogosphere. I won't say it's particularly expensive but it insn't cheaper than Vaseline. Grab your spare mascara wands, dig it in the tub of this magical jelly, coat your lashes and go to sleep(of course). IT WORKS! It actually works. The key is patience. People swear by this technique and it is a part of their beauty regime. I myself tried it, however not long because I just can get over my laziness. Whenever I used it, I woke to lashes that were silky as ever. My sister used it for a longer period of time and se saw a difference in her lashes too, they were longer, thicker and healthier.

In all honesty, I am an extremely spoiled gal when it comes to mascaras. I hardly ever buy mascaras of my own. Instead I use my mother's and she always uses high-end mascaras; Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Victoria's Secret etc. Considering my personal hygiene and my ever-growing love for make-up I decided I will buy a mascara of my own.

The first thing I kept in mind; start small. So that if I am not happy with the mascara, I won't be banging my
head against a wall and mourning for the hole in pocket. I hopped on the internet and since essence was the first drugstore brand that popped in my mind, I started my review reading spree. And I was convinced by the 'blackest black' written in bold. [ I didn't make a thorough research about this mascara since it was three in the morning and I was fed up of reading reviews by now]

First of all. Don't get lured by the blackest black written in bold. It is black like an other mascara in my opinion. The core reason why I bought it was it's ability to curl and lengthen. It has a very ordinary wand. Nothing special. It's not small nor its big, plain ol' mascara brush. I comb my lashes through, wiggling the wand at roots just to ensure I have some volume there. It dries really quickly so applying a second coat can be a nuisance as the dried mascara clumps up when a second coat is applied. It's not very heavy either.

It claims to volumize, lengthen and curl your lashes right? It does. In many of the review I have read, people complain that it doesn't volumize. I disagree to some extent. It does volumize but not to the extent of va-voom volume. I love curling my lashes! I don't need an eyelash curler with this thing! It gives a really nice curl and it's lengthen you lashes! What else can I ask for $4? It surely doesn't beat my favorite Clinique mascara but it does a good job and I am pretty happy with my investment.

Hope you enjoyed! Happy blogging.

I have been DIY-ing a lot lately. I love that the things I create have a touch of me in them. I went to Khaadi the other day and was drooling over a black top that had studded cuffs. My mother is not a fan of black at all, and unfortunately there were no other colors so my mom decided we could get the top tailor-made and I can add studs my self. I absolutely loved the idea! So here's what you've to do.                
SUPPLIES:
Flat glue-on studs
Sewing pins
Iron
An extra piece of cloth


One important thing that will make this DIY a bliss is to ask your tailor sew your sleeves only half way so you can easily arrange and glue on the studs.
1. Iron the cuff, pulling at the end a bit and pin them to your craft table.
2. Arrange your studs. Mine were 6*18 which in total were 108 studs on one cuff. They shouldn't be aligned perfectly but try to go along the lines of perfection as much as possible.

























3. Iron the extra piece of cloth and place it over the arranged studs. Now iron the studs. DO NOT MOVE THE IRON. This is very important just place the iron over the studs don't sway it here and there otherwise you studs won't stay in place and you wont be able to get them aligned perfectly. Lay pressure on the studs with the iron gluing them in place. Don't forget the corners. Pay extra attention to them. Now flip the cuff over and iron the back. The unfortunate thing is they won't be permanently glued on in the first go. I think I had to repeat this process like 5-6 times and still I had a few coming off. Please pay extra attention to the ones in the outermost lines.

























Now ask your tailor(or sew it yourself) to sew the cuffs and you're good to go! These look really nice and I know I'll be doing absolutely crazy with these studs in the future.

xx Seemal!
