#MiniBlog Week 2 of quarantine has definitely been

#MiniBlog Week 2 of quarantine has definitely been tougher due to the lockdown.
✨My morning (if I sleep well) starts with a gratitude journal: I use my work diary to jot down all that I’m thankful for. It’s a new habit so I forget sometimes( I just say it instead of writing down things I’m thankful for) followed by breakfast. ✨Breakfast is often accompanied by anxiety...when will this end, will we have a vaccine or if we’ll get bread, milk etc when we need it (there are problems already) as most online suppliers face their own problems.
✨Then my husband and I go into cleaning mode: jhadu, pocha, dusting and disinfecting every room, surface, handle and switch. By the end of it, I’m bubbling with guilt about my privileged life. I think of my mother, I think of my didi and finish chores.
✨When you’re sweating, there is no question of not bathing. So if you’re feeling too lazy, get cleaning and you’ll see what I mean.
✨it’s usually past 1 when I start working on my laptop (everything before this is on the phone), taking breaks to cook, water plants or watch TV. ✨every evening, one of us gets a panic attack. I can’t meditate yet (Srijan meditates twice a day) so I’m trying 5-4-3-2-1 mindfulness method. This, and cutting news hours helps. 👉🏻I don’t know when we’ll go back to our normal lives but I know times like these make us realise what we need, what we take for granted and what we should be thankful for.

Glad to have contributed to Shobhita Dhar’s piec

Glad to have contributed to Shobhita Dhar’s piece in @thetimesofindia on women wearing menswear. .
“The appropriation has a long history, though now women are less likely to be jeered at. In the US, women started wearing loose fitting trousers called bloomers in the 1850s and got rid of constricting corsets and heavy petticoats worn under the skirt. The trend towards more masculine clothes gained steam when women joined the workforce after WWI and got the right to vote.
And the biggest push came from Coco Chanel. “She used to wear her boyfriend’s (the Duke of Westminster) clothes because she believed they were more comfortable than those made for women. Then she came up with the idea of the Chanel suit: collarless jacket and a feminine skirt made of tweed, a fabric worn only by men. It stood for a lot more in its time. It was an icon then and is an icon now,” says Manavi Siddhanti, a Delhi-based writer who likes boyfriend jeans, loose sweats and, chunky male watches.”

#texturetuesdays Does anybody else record videos

#texturetuesdays
Does anybody else record videos when they’re getting a facial? Or talk the doctor’s ears off? I do. Sometimes I’m testing the staff without telling them what I do and other times, I’m trying something new. In this video, I’m getting a Hydrafacial in which they use a specific machine called, yep, you guessed it, Hydrafacial - a medical treatment with vortex technology which has 4 tips to
- [ ] Cleanse
- [ ] Exfoliate - [ ] Hydrate - [ ] Infuse serums
I’ll be doing a step by step breakdown on my blog. 💎It suits all skin types and is one of the few facials where you’ll see a difference in skin texture without the use of laser.
Price 💰
In the US, the facial can cost between USD 100-200 but in India, I mean Delhi itself, the costs are as low as Rs 2,000 and go up to Rs 7,000. I paid Rs 3,500 . My only advice would be to go to a dermatologist instead of a spa unless you’re completely secure about their standing. 🌟My favourite part of the facial was the oxygen infusion while removing my vitamin c mask. I’m not sure if this is done in all clinics because a lot of YouTube videos showed LED facial to reduce redness or application of creams and sunscreen.
Results
👍🏻As usual, my skin was red until up to an hour. I enjoyed a week of super soft, hydrated skin and a difference in texture without a non-ablative laser in the picture. 👎🏻Unfortunately my blackheads were back on Day 4. And I didn’t feel extra glowy which is a bit sad. 👉🏻I’d like to end this post by requesting all dermatologists to put a yellow light in their treatment rooms, or have enough natural light 🙂

I have chronically dry lips, thanks to use and abu

I have chronically dry lips, thanks to use and abuse matte lipsticks 💋 and living in overheated rooms without using a humidifier. My lips were severely chapped all through the year and I’m experienced enough to know that most lip balms just sit on your pout but I added the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask to my cart via Nykaa 7ml which retails at Rs 500. I’ve been using everyday for a month and here’s what I think.
Pros - [ ] A little goes a long way. It’s a good amount of product. - [ ] it has no mineral oil which is a trend and we’ll know clean beauty must have. #cleanbeautyrevolution - [ ] Applying it makes you feel like a step closer to selfcare. #selfcareroutine - [ ] You can double it up as a lip balm.
Cons
- [ ] I spent an hour googling the ingredients which cannot be understood. All the good ingredients like hyaluronic acid, fruit extracts, coffee are towards the end which means the product has very little.
- [ ] It has red dye for colour as well as fragrance which can cause irritation or worse, breakouts. - [ ] Beta glucans are great for hydration but the hero of the product it’s the microcrystalline wax which avoids trans epidermal water loss. - [ ] Unfortunately it’s a temporary fix for my problem which goes deeper than surface damage. Deficiency in vitamin bB and using super matte lipsticks has left me with really flaky lips.
@laneigeindia really has a sort of minor just because there aren’t really any products in this particular segment and with social media marketing and most influencer reviews, they have really stood out with their night time masks. - [ ] You can buy it if you’re a lip balm addict ( I know a few of you) but otherwise you can give it a miss. .

Sometimes I keep scrolling through my Instagram to reach my first few photos in 2014. I’d just left my full time job as an assistant editor at @indiatoday and a colleague had introduced me to Instagram. I used to post photos of how I’d dress everyday. Now, the narrative has completely changed. Instead of wearing what we wear everyday, a lot of us dress up for Instagram. People go out of their way to try to look like someone else or ape another influencer’s look. The worst part is to feel so much pressure that you constantly doubt yourself before going out to an event or before taking a picture. Let’s go back to taking photos just because you wanna remember that moment. Like this one. My sister came to India after a year and we spent this entire afternoon giggling. 📷 @pragatisiddhanti .
