Recently, our team was invited at Swami Parmanand Prakritik Chikitsalaya (SPPC), a Health and Wellness Centre which offers Lifestyle Management through Complementary and Alternative Healing principles to have a brief understanding of the services they offer.

We tried a few massages. The therapies were really relaxing. For those people who have a bent towards yoga, ayurveda and naturopathy this is a good place to feel rejuvenated and relaxed.

For diet and naturopathy they have specially designed programmes. Loved the ambience there. I would really love to visit again and try other services.

If you are looking to become a top interior designer and turn your passion into a successful career, you should follow these six helpful guidelines.

Get training and experience: One of the biggest first steps you can take is to gain experience in the field of interior design. Maybe you can start by taking a short course in interior design at a fashion institute like this one and learn the skills you will need to begin working. It is helpful to know what your strengths and weaknesses are beforehand in order to take the right classes and improve upon your skills. Another useful way to gain experience is to get an internship. This will show you what it is like to work as an interior designer and help you grow in the industry.

Put together a portfolio: Document all of the projects you work on whether it is at an internship or at school. It is also helpful to keep a digital portfolio that you can share online or in blogs to show off what you have accomplished so far. You never know who will notice!

Don’t search for perfection: Interior design is not about staging a picture perfect room all of the time. When you are designing keep in mind that rooms are meant to be as comfortable and warming as they are beautiful to look at. Design draws on how people feel.

Believe in yourself: Always remind yourself that if you put effort into your passion everything will be okay. Setbacks and trialing times are inevitable in a competitive industry so it is always important to believe in your talents.

Practice your math skills: Interior design and architecture have many things in common and math plays an important role in everyday work of both professions. The best interior designers are skilled and know how to scale drawings and calculate their vision. Brushing up on your math skills will set you apart from the average designers.

Keep looking for inspiration everywhere and know your clients: Always absorb the world around you and take your inspiration for future projects from everything. Picking up on how every type of room is designed and learning different styles will make you a very successful interior designer. It is also important to know and understand your client. By getting to know your client you will be able to design a space for them that they will love. Function and style go hand in hand.

The divine love called, FOOD, now celebrated with a Tops Selfie Contest

Baked, fried, toasted, roasted, boiled, steamed, raw and fresh or prepared and preserved with the harmonious mix of love and culinary talents (just like your ever-favourite Tops Pickles); if this is how you prefer your tastebuds to be treated, then you fall under the hearty category of “foodies”. For this bunch of food-lovers, dishes and cuisines are not merely a regular, cumbersome affair; rather a flavoursome ritual, where each morsel is cherished and every bite touches the sensitive cords of the heart. Not for nothing has such a love for food been celebrated daily by thousands of people around the world, but also quite aptly its joy and pleasures have been referred to as “food porn” by the netizens. Welcome onboard the journey to the centre of the heart – food!

One of the highest points of this foodsome journey is the fact that it is all-inclusive, it takes into account the eccentricities of its various patrons; the health conscious ones, the mid-night bingers, those with a nose for the junk and even the plain old homely food lovers; there’s something for everyone. As varied and wholesome the community of foodies around the world is, there’s a dedicated platform, a social network connecting people for the love of food. Foodiye.com is a unique online space that allows food-lovers to connect, share and express their mutual affection for scrumptious, delectable and tempting savours.

Above all, the divine reason, why foodies around the world should connect and contribute to this amazing food archive is an exciting contest that assures the winners fun and happening prizes and hampers. The #TopsSelfieContest became the ultimate contest for food lovers that needed the participants to click a selfie with their favourite Tops Pickles and upload it on Foodiye.com. With several enthusiastic participants posing with their choice of Tops pickle (there's a wide range of flavours to choose from), the contest soon gathered pace with a hoard of pickle selfies flooding the food-social-network. Better still, the winners of this fun and simple contest were treated with exciting gift hampers and prizes.

This story expedition of spreading smiles, and creating a space in the hearts and kitchens of foodies across the world have been a long-borne journey for the now-revered brand, Tops. Over a period of three decades, the well-known FMCG brand has spread its wings not only across the length and breadth of India, but also in as many as 25 countries around the world. And all this, under the skilled and visionary guidance of its founder, Brij M. Seth. The dream of acquiring the position of popular provider of high-quality processed food was fulfilled marvellously over this tenure of evolution and progress by Tops.

Apart from supplementing most of Indian homes and eateries with its savoury pickles (the varieties include 21 delightful flavours), Tops has been smart in its product choices. Today, this food-giant supplies several other processed foods like Jams, Jelly, Tomato Ketchup, Instant Mixes, Custard Powder, Vermicelli, Culinary Sauces among others. In the truest terms, Tops has sufficed every need of a modern household to become the most-preferred brand providing convenience food.

As Shaw proclaimed that there is no sincerer love than the love for food; remember to have fun and make merry on your next eating experience. Who knows, another exciting contest could be waiting for you foodies? Having said so, on your next trip to that favourite restaurant of yours, do not forget to click beautiful pictures of those savoury dishes you try.

Till then, happy eating!

The city stands at an elevation of approximately 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) in the bowl-shaped Kathmandu Valley of central Nepal. Kathmandu is the gateway to tourism in Nepal. It is also the hub of the country's economy. It has the most advanced infrastructure of any urban area in Nepal, and its economy is focused on tourism. The city has a rich history, spanning nearly 2000 years, as inferred from inscriptions found in the valley. Religious and cultural festivities form a major part of the lives of people residing in Kathmandu. Most of Kathmandu's people follow Hinduism and many others follow Buddhism. Patan, Durbar Square and the neighboring areas stand as an evidence to this.

Gillette Venus organised an interactive a panel discussion with Kriti Sanon along with renowned aesthetic physician Dr. Rashmi Shetty and make-up artist Namrata Soni to educate and bust myths around shaving. They shared their expertise and enlightened women on the techniques of shaving and vouched for shaving being one of the most hassle free and painless methods of female hair removal. I gained confidence on shaving and now I prefer shaving rather than waxing. In my next post I will be discussing how a person can shave hassle free.

For my readers to gain confidence on shaving I am in this post discussing some of the common myths associated with shaving:

Myth

Post shaving skin is dry and flaky and itchy.

That’s absolutely wrong, using razors in right way never leaves the skin dry, flaky and itchy. The correct way to use a razor is to wet the area you want to shave or use a shave gel for better results and after shaving apply a moisturizer.

Myth

Shaving leads to skin darkening.

That’s not true. The fact being hair growth is hard or fast depends on the genetics and your body type

There are a number of options for hair removal like waxing, using epilators, Laser for hair removal but I feel shaving is the fastest, easiest and one of the inexpensive options and at the comfort of your home.

I guess. It’s the opposite! Shaving very subtly exfoliates the top layer and so the question of skin darkening doesn’t arise at all.

Myth

Shaving leads to hair grow hard and faster.

That’s not true. The fact being hair growth is hard or fast depends on the genetics and your body type.

Myth

Go to a salon to get smooth and soft skin.
