So when Ananya asked me to write a guest blog, I thought it would be good to start with my Indo western theme that I went with for my recent trip to India (Dec 2018). Hope you all find this blog interesting and can apply your own creativity when it comes to your style choices.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"\u003E\nIndo western wear is the fusion of Indian and western dress styles. The combinations may be done within the clothing itself, like pairing a western top with Indian pants, or a dress made in Indian fabric but draped in a western style.. For my recent India trip where my family was traveling through Rajasthan, Goa and Kerala, I decided to go with an Indo western theme to honor India’s cultural heritage yet being able to leverage many of the dresses that I buy from various boutiques around the world. So mostly all my theming was done by pairing western wear with Indian accessories.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px;\"\u003EFirst we visited Rajasthan, which is famous for it’s fairy-tale palaces and epic forts to colorful festivals and wildlife encounters, this is India at its vibrant best. One of our first stops was an overnight stay in Manvar Camp and experiencing the rustic way of getting around in the desert by embarking on a camel safari. For this excursion, I picked a simple and elegant jumpsuit paired with a vibrant pashmina shawl. I paired the dress with some big dangling Indian earrings from the local H\u0026amp;M store\u003C\/span\u003E.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"\u003E\nHere’s a closer look at the dress.

To add a little more color to the dress as well as match the theme of the dress I paired it with a polka dot small chiffon scarf. Usually I like to add a pop of color to my dresses, so I picked fluorescent orange for my scarf!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"\u003E\nThis dress did not have a good fit as I had envisioned but against the backdrop of such splendid array of colorful mirrors of these beautiful palaces and temples, I think it did not matter!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiZ6R6n8_9qnq9jBaovIgJ_wYP1lrZyWFreQsKCbAXSZLWnDzjB2YtAwt0LNLR3UfviRU2os_4J2WRtloQuwcX9GJTHn7GgNCgB5FyjIFuq4X7kxac_Fre9wSMR0bAhjkHcnVP0RE1T2FM\/s1600\/thumbnail_Image-6.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1280\" data-original-width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiZ6R6n8_9qnq9jBaovIgJ_wYP1lrZyWFreQsKCbAXSZLWnDzjB2YtAwt0LNLR3UfviRU2os_4J2WRtloQuwcX9GJTHn7GgNCgB5FyjIFuq4X7kxac_Fre9wSMR0bAhjkHcnVP0RE1T2FM\/s640\/thumbnail_Image-6.png\" width=\"480\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px;\"\u003EOn the last day of our visit we went to the Vintage and Classic Car Museum. Although there a lot of things in Udaipur that capture the luxurious lifestyle of the Mewar royals, the Vintage Car museum is one of the best ways to witness how grand it used to back then. Many of the amazing vehicles used by the Mewar dynasty in Uadaipur have been presented at this museum. I wore a simple gown with embroidery over silk and I was delighted that it ended up looking like a royal Indian anarkali gown against the backdrop of some of these antique cars!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"\u003E\nI just accessorized the dress with big Indian earrings that I bought at Fab India and let the pink highlights in my hair color add to the vibrancy of the dress!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj4RpZlm2QhrSzWNn_AQzk4PZmjaXJfZbp32xcg7V19FSwOLx9Ie-fU0G1JXfcmvVg3CbYOKf6G4-25WoVzVAO6SICX89qHs2Zjr0YEg-Hv23EgxUDl7uq3MaByNzMTXDOiurb3nXMElnU\/s1600\/Image-3.png.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1386\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj4RpZlm2QhrSzWNn_AQzk4PZmjaXJfZbp32xcg7V19FSwOLx9Ie-fU0G1JXfcmvVg3CbYOKf6G4-25WoVzVAO6SICX89qHs2Zjr0YEg-Hv23EgxUDl7uq3MaByNzMTXDOiurb3nXMElnU\/s640\/Image-3.png.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhy5LPgOZ68racH9ETwD4TS7fkui95M2wVCT9rvc9WRTbs2ji8Sdy92-_wCSI_hEBVqALzVIg_k2Dm53_xSDIjY6I_J5C89QsD_NYi-4z6fQNeb-e9vVRn-LxaP1AiPRIbEz5DenX-tafo\/s1600\/Image-10.png.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhy5LPgOZ68racH9ETwD4TS7fkui95M2wVCT9rvc9WRTbs2ji8Sdy92-_wCSI_hEBVqALzVIg_k2Dm53_xSDIjY6I_J5C89QsD_NYi-4z6fQNeb-e9vVRn-LxaP1AiPRIbEz5DenX-tafo\/s400\/Image-10.png.jpg\" width=\"300\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0px 0in 10.66px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"\u003E\nIn the last part of our India trip, we visited the scenic backwaters of Kerala which comprise of serene stretches of lakes, canals and lagoons located parallel to the coast of the Arabian Sea. We went on a tranquil backwaters sunset cruise which was definitely a once in a lifetime experience! For this excursion, I chose a Anita Dongre inspired skirt that I bought from Chelsea Market in NYC. Since there is so much going on in the skirt, I decided to wear a plain black top with shoulder cut-outs. I added some color to the black top by wearing a Kendra Scott necklace that I had bought many years ago in Neiman Marcus in Bellevue! The best part about this skirt is comfort and you can walk around with hands in pockets - looking super chic!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhVME5O_uzokF1YW6siYxAIenHt1z3fcOKKJRS6uRt6gb4HGRcJwGe0-l2Xp3lwrRvU4oF0UEn7Z3uTYe7VgAi1MF-hncshHtM6j09cjBh6IVb5gL6v4oyCkBkqgm3KANMDi_yfPyzdMOU\/s1600\/Image-1.png.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1050\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhVME5O_uzokF1YW6siYxAIenHt1z3fcOKKJRS6uRt6gb4HGRcJwGe0-l2Xp3lwrRvU4oF0UEn7Z3uTYe7VgAi1MF-hncshHtM6j09cjBh6IVb5gL6v4oyCkBkqgm3KANMDi_yfPyzdMOU\/s640\/Image-1.png.jpg\" width=\"419\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EGuest Post by\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"message\" style=\"color: black; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; width: 100%px;\"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\n\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cb\u003ESangeeta Mudnal\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EPhoto Credit: Jigar Thakkar\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.ananyatales.com\/feeds\/7855378737031880751\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ananyatales.com\/2019\/01\/indo-western-outfit-ideas.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1383562954178786919\/posts\/default\/7855378737031880751"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1383562954178786919\/posts\/default\/7855378737031880751"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ananyatales.com\/2019\/01\/indo-western-outfit-ideas.html","title":"Indo-Western Outfit Ideas"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Ananya"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/05156727486680867354"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEi4hwvyFhquEdqjEVhN_NRaZwAAvyHxpGnYTbR2J8hDgyZQAgd-hadrQfQEuHfI6gzyQ9XpOE9tjtAtjkmq8CjRW_InOXJEIqONlSZsbTm-J1-s80yx6e3Y80jyKpKmw-cpRC9TvC09OTE\/s72-c\/Image-8.png.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383562954178786919.post-3018670151307180802"},"published":{"$t":"2018-06-20T22:22:00.000-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2019-07-22T12:27:49.899-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Relationships"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Self-Love is Essential "},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh_900i85qHxEnOV-XdiCHbKMuAoLqBF-H2xFuwGLPnA3kpib_wQQ8RLvX0BJ7AHj0rVd85uj8h2l5rzAvx_e9W9DOaCn38qDYnOdo04qTqYwKfuyKm6vlTX20wcLC95yPy92BvIG1fdrQ\/s1600\/selflove.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh_900i85qHxEnOV-XdiCHbKMuAoLqBF-H2xFuwGLPnA3kpib_wQQ8RLvX0BJ7AHj0rVd85uj8h2l5rzAvx_e9W9DOaCn38qDYnOdo04qTqYwKfuyKm6vlTX20wcLC95yPy92BvIG1fdrQ\/s1600\/selflove.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSelf-love is a noun and is defined as regard for one's own happiness and well-being. It's chiefly considered as a desirable rather than a narcissistic characteristic. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhat are your thoughts??\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nTo be brutally honest I love myself more than this post can explain. I am not embarrassed by this fact. I usually say it out loud \"Main tho meri Favorite Hu\" way before this dialogue was used in 'Jab we Met', a famous Bollywood movie. That line literally means I am my favorite, sounds better in Hindi language ;)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIf you ask me was I always like this. No, during my childhood I was introvert girl with low self esteem. For reasons which only I understand better now but for sure had got nothing to do with my skill sets but were based on my social- economic conditions \u0026nbsp;and disruptive family history. Let's not go there in this post.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMaybe that changed during my teenage, while others got restless and lost their mind on trivial issues. I on the other hand, If I could say so my responsibilities grew and forced me into an early\u0026nbsp; matured adulthood. Please note I am not regretful that fate had this course for me, instead I am grateful as with more problems came more responsibilities and more Freedom :)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSo somewhere in that phase of my life, Self-Love became my defense mechanism and the only way to survive the harsh societal pressures. There were few people who misunderstood this self-love for arrogance but as much as I loved myself I never looked down upon anyone, so not sure why they misinterpreted me.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nJumping a decade further in my life now when I am almost going to be 30 in less than 30 days. I feel Self-Love has become a part of my nature, thinking and attitude. If you ever hear me when I am happy I really praise myself for small and big achievements, without hurting anyone's sentiments off course. When I fail, I am miserably sad and make fun of my short comings and have the ability to smile at it, after a while.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI would be lying If I say I have never doubted or questioned my self- love. There have been times like when I put on weight, when I failed at job interviews, when my face was filled with acne, acne scars and so on. But the that period has been a very, very short span of time. Maybe it lasted for few minutes or few hours depending on criticality of the situation.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nBut for most of the times I just love myself, to the extent my wallpaper on my cell phone is a picture of myself. I think I am not self obsessed because I don't believe- I am the best, I am the most beautiful or the most successful etc... I just strongly have faith in myself. I might not really be an extra ordinary person but I have the strength to put in efforts to make ordinary things come true. I may not be talented but I have the courage to learn and adapt new things\/situations \u0026nbsp;quickly. I might not be blessed with the silver spoon but I could make most of what I have. My skin might be scared but my soul isn't and definitely nothing in the world will stop me from loving myself and smile when I see my reflection in a mirror or a window pane !\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI love all that I am- Just as I am ...\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAnd you should too\u003C3 p=\"\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/3\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.ananyatales.com\/feeds\/3018670151307180802\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ananyatales.com\/2016\/09\/self-love-is-essential.html#comment-form","title":"19 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1383562954178786919\/posts\/default\/3018670151307180802"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1383562954178786919\/posts\/default\/3018670151307180802"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ananyatales.com\/2016\/09\/self-love-is-essential.html","title":"Self-Love is Essential "}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Ananya"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/05156727486680867354"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh_900i85qHxEnOV-XdiCHbKMuAoLqBF-H2xFuwGLPnA3kpib_wQQ8RLvX0BJ7AHj0rVd85uj8h2l5rzAvx_e9W9DOaCn38qDYnOdo04qTqYwKfuyKm6vlTX20wcLC95yPy92BvIG1fdrQ\/s72-c\/selflove.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"19"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383562954178786919.post-978649953269034858"},"published":{"$t":"2018-06-20T22:21:00.000-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2018-06-20T22:21:13.223-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Fashion"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Black Leggings "},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgFCa2zP9bxCCqXy6l8oNblGdKX_okpdPU1zuIH15k4OzJ8Xr_HA_2BkdHGtT7s6GmA4Z3Ko5pGXllEbPlQ_WOTvq84nuGR3okbXx8T6or_rkJKXqJUHGfyI7RgGpodIYmBPEt5GaxWq9I\/s1600\/DSC01853.jpeg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgFCa2zP9bxCCqXy6l8oNblGdKX_okpdPU1zuIH15k4OzJ8Xr_HA_2BkdHGtT7s6GmA4Z3Ko5pGXllEbPlQ_WOTvq84nuGR3okbXx8T6or_rkJKXqJUHGfyI7RgGpodIYmBPEt5GaxWq9I\/s640\/DSC01853.jpeg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\nBlack leggings or tights are a staple and found in every woman's closet. It doesn't matter where you live, if you observe keenly then you will notice \u0026nbsp;black leggings around you all the time.

I do admire women who can carry the simple black leggings effortlessly because of their hot legs.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgzS1cn2ppjJ1qr2bziXZkHR1hFOhgLTcTxqoCohuaohunanWvEtDM433cGEzlOliq5-0Ie_AcjR8Wuhq53Xj2RwFVcG3gDJDo1712Qz-YFgZQzkdbyHOOgkl6JHf290qe23zm0EvRBeaM\/s1600\/DSC01860.jpeg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgzS1cn2ppjJ1qr2bziXZkHR1hFOhgLTcTxqoCohuaohunanWvEtDM433cGEzlOliq5-0Ie_AcjR8Wuhq53Xj2RwFVcG3gDJDo1712Qz-YFgZQzkdbyHOOgkl6JHf290qe23zm0EvRBeaM\/s640\/DSC01860.jpeg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjIZiRC6_NwkgVI8Jr8O1sENiTCoFPfb0xpbXCqfyMheLXUjTvXU06Zew7mq1NtVVf2Q3Ftigq-e_Iikxa_yLZkRaZBb05AXC0RfS0eYYsjBoXL_CwpARIGJI6ERlnK7AqTzBA55aPLX1w\/s1600\/DSC01861.jpeg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjIZiRC6_NwkgVI8Jr8O1sENiTCoFPfb0xpbXCqfyMheLXUjTvXU06Zew7mq1NtVVf2Q3Ftigq-e_Iikxa_yLZkRaZBb05AXC0RfS0eYYsjBoXL_CwpARIGJI6ERlnK7AqTzBA55aPLX1w\/s640\/DSC01861.jpeg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj00cLGMhP5_TU622edhTHWg-7zozMAQoU5Q1d9Kq7Y_u13DsSNB5yX1JDIf6O7QKCLTgYdTVD7RxyNBIMdRjxoBCbNA7pbh9guhQvhkDVl90-sHhOwJ50uB7GkXTKKTOgOotWx2KoAURA\/s1600\/DSC01859.jpeg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj00cLGMhP5_TU622edhTHWg-7zozMAQoU5Q1d9Kq7Y_u13DsSNB5yX1JDIf6O7QKCLTgYdTVD7RxyNBIMdRjxoBCbNA7pbh9guhQvhkDVl90-sHhOwJ50uB7GkXTKKTOgOotWx2KoAURA\/s640\/DSC01859.jpeg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhCrB4KLpb-RXi2c9iR341aRfhH7RxdOxtr2CYnqhqjhfXRr9IhbkO5u-3RcdM6j-5FPX8PdqaTpHTh1MWgAtAcwo5NDac5sZbbUv2tmIEtHvrJO1RMC7vDtcnj-NOTl1bLGjxQtFeH_BU\/s1600\/DSC01850.jpeg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhCrB4KLpb-RXi2c9iR341aRfhH7RxdOxtr2CYnqhqjhfXRr9IhbkO5u-3RcdM6j-5FPX8PdqaTpHTh1MWgAtAcwo5NDac5sZbbUv2tmIEtHvrJO1RMC7vDtcnj-NOTl1bLGjxQtFeH_BU\/s1600\/DSC01850.jpeg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEibDwPd7wKR5UD6CJk5BBHFojdHLe3YAcXqZWaojkQdtFvPlIfEqcEAmuRKtDJH16avy8cLuToxrn3iqAROUQhD5JWPg-37lHrsEAipOSSTTet4TxtT6hGZr4tZqzx-E4CxARC6gkgGz8k\/s1600\/DSC01862.jpeg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEibDwPd7wKR5UD6CJk5BBHFojdHLe3YAcXqZWaojkQdtFvPlIfEqcEAmuRKtDJH16avy8cLuToxrn3iqAROUQhD5JWPg-37lHrsEAipOSSTTet4TxtT6hGZr4tZqzx-E4CxARC6gkgGz8k\/s1600\/DSC01862.jpeg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nNevertheless this is a look I styled early this year just at the end of winter.

I was thrilled when I first saw these vogue printed shoes on their website. I am so excited to \u0026nbsp;review them as I love shoes which are stylish and comfortable. Comfort is very important for me when it comes to shoes. These look slightly bulky because of the added wedge heel at the bottom but surprisingly are super light.

Initial days were filled with bliss with utmost respect to each other. More like a genie granting unlimited wishes. It was a phase when I felt that my wife is flawless, not just beauty but in everything she does. As time passed certain aspects which I felt negative\/restrictive cropped up. One such thing was that my wife liked a clean house. This aspect troubled me a lot as I was lazy and hence not keen on keeping the house clean. Once, after an ugly fight, I decided to ask my wife the rationale behind being such a freak. Wife humbly said that a clean house sends positive vibes which in turn would keep our relation positive and on a lighter note let this be our home and not home to mites and bugs. This answer put me in a dilemma as to whether the habit of keeping the house clean was a negative aspect on her part or was I negative in not keeping the house clean. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003EFrom the aforesaid incident I learnt that our thinking is unidirectional where we think as per our convenience. What I thought to be negative on my wife’s part is actually my own negative aspect. It is by virtue of marriage that someone entered my life and nullified my negative habit through her positive action. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-8cb49fe7-bda2-bfdf-1561-f27faf9a4614\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003EIn my opinion, marriage is not as bad as it is depicted in the messages on social media, at the same time, it is not as good as it is portrayed in happily ever after movies.

After few minutes my friend asked what are you doing, I said ironing my husband's white shirt. There was a moment of silence and she asked again, What did you say. I thought due to some network issues she couldn't hear me so I repeated again. She burst into laughter.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIt took me few seconds to understand why she laughed and after that I giggled too.

Some of my friends will be shocked as they can't really except that from me.

Which if you know me is a huge personality change and this would really surprise the old me :)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nNot that I ever underestimated housekeeping work but just that it never came to me naturally.

During the nascent phase of lion’s life, it is handed umpteen lashes by the ringmaster for every instinctive move it makes. Lashes tend infuse a sense of fear in lion’s mind and compels the lion to act the way ringmaster wants it to. In doing so the killing machine is altering its true nature by believing in ringmaster’s order. Consequently, the lion stops believing in itself and starts believing in the ringmaster. Fear of lash has such a profuse impact on the lion that even after reaching its full grown size, possessing all the power to bring down the mightiest of opponents, the lion is not able to break the shackles of infused inability and starts underestimating its own potential. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003EThe lion in the above story is none but we ourselves and the ringmaster is that someone who judge us ever since we enter this world. The judgments, seldom positive, act as deterrence to self-development.

A candidate planning to appear for competitive exam or a girl planning to work independently should focus more on self-belief than believing in such trivial judgments. One should not be perturbed by such judgments by letting it have an impact on current as well as future opportunities.

Indian women (and men) observe fasts during Navratri. Streets are adorned with the idols of various Goddesses. The stages are decorated with lights and colors and prayers are offered twice a day. People take tours in the cities to watch these idols in different parts of the city. On Dussehra people build huge effigies of Ravana and burn them as a symbol of the end of evil. Festivities are exchanged amongst families and friends and everybody prays Goddesses to bless them with good health and prosperity.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-clip: initial;

I was thrilled to try it out for the first time. I have really thick hair and waxing is painful and its the highest degree of pain I can bear. Yes I got a tattoo done which pained less than waxing but thats different. I guess thick hair and sensitive skin make it really hard for waxing to be a pleasant experience. I also know so many other women who keep trying to find a less painful method of hair removal. So when Mala from Blossom Beauty told me that sugaring was a pain-free experience, I was skeptical it would be the same for me.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;\"\u003E\nI met Laura the sugaring esthetician at \u003Cb\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.blossombellevue.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EBlossom Beauty\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003Eand she said they used sugar, lemon and water to prepare the jel-like semi solid sugar.

Then she took the sticky semi solid sugar in her hand. She applied a layer of it on my hand and i was waiting for her to get a strip or paper or something like they do in waxing. But to my surprise she didn't use any strips, she just pulled the sugar by itself and poof like magic it did pull out the hair from my skin with no pain, it didnt hurt one bit. Let me add it was two months since I had last waxed so i had full growth. Every time she pulled the sugar off my skin I sub consciously thought its going to hurt and that anticipation made me react or close my eyes. But it doesnt hurt a bit, just a tingling sensation but nothing compared to the pain of waxing. Most of us prefer waxing as it removes a layer of tan as well and so does sugaring. I was more than shocked when i tried sugaring for my underarms and it worked like magic.No pain at all.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhd2dPa-ynD3Ia2nEDgLC6ERdKEhZ6-7oMnU_fNS3Y1JrDTw-7Rme5mCdATxoQ5ofrc3W54ArzFS5DNlvxV2TLmjKgMFbvJd0-Sj9zXK7QfBmNelXpUwFL0Ch6Khs5-ydEvOqoNktgXhxE\/s1600\/dotmatrixcreatives_0001.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhd2dPa-ynD3Ia2nEDgLC6ERdKEhZ6-7oMnU_fNS3Y1JrDTw-7Rme5mCdATxoQ5ofrc3W54ArzFS5DNlvxV2TLmjKgMFbvJd0-Sj9zXK7QfBmNelXpUwFL0Ch6Khs5-ydEvOqoNktgXhxE\/s640\/dotmatrixcreatives_0001.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj3peWlDR24kitwWuqqxpC_gfTj6Qn5oCFI2GXCRFztbSsgaqjUw-V8mzeJKZ-WibNs1ln7Z0MC_r1iGnao36zwiUN0jdupC37dGbam_6vpwMJ7Ln9XHRkGhG5SE-80-2VqxHmk5xZmvCE\/s1600\/dotmatrixcreatives_0003.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj3peWlDR24kitwWuqqxpC_gfTj6Qn5oCFI2GXCRFztbSsgaqjUw-V8mzeJKZ-WibNs1ln7Z0MC_r1iGnao36zwiUN0jdupC37dGbam_6vpwMJ7Ln9XHRkGhG5SE-80-2VqxHmk5xZmvCE\/s640\/dotmatrixcreatives_0003.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgwBUwL-FRaPvLCj0FoXRviJ0-ZSkpoPTYYj5oXJhTKoI-DIpNzhEK4lMRKdflo4qMGDnEguZHqogeVctjPmfPKhPJIRQF0F4kSIos353xtFGOXTcohZ9CbKEPp6fMFCJmkagwb8PePwhs\/s1600\/dotmatrixcreatives_0002+%25281%2529.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgwBUwL-FRaPvLCj0FoXRviJ0-ZSkpoPTYYj5oXJhTKoI-DIpNzhEK4lMRKdflo4qMGDnEguZHqogeVctjPmfPKhPJIRQF0F4kSIos353xtFGOXTcohZ9CbKEPp6fMFCJmkagwb8PePwhs\/s640\/dotmatrixcreatives_0002+%25281%2529.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh26BTqTT7quYhFMf_iTjCQj5F56IG0bI38GRKhBOFhy_MJikVU9MxPIXYGbEuxwZV7DZamVuSCl0UWokj_F3YB5ClMNHuAuXP9n61wARMoEu7RwPlnqvFN-2GtQBLEeBV4URw0hXOyC2M\/s1600\/dotmatrixcreatives_0007.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh26BTqTT7quYhFMf_iTjCQj5F56IG0bI38GRKhBOFhy_MJikVU9MxPIXYGbEuxwZV7DZamVuSCl0UWokj_F3YB5ClMNHuAuXP9n61wARMoEu7RwPlnqvFN-2GtQBLEeBV4URw0hXOyC2M\/s640\/dotmatrixcreatives_0007.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;\"\u003E\nFrom now on I would always prefer getting sugaring done instead of waxing.

For the longest time, I did the same thing, once I started experimenting and seeing more celebrities experiment, I realized that there were other shades that I liked as well.

When beauty brands advertise that something looks good on everyone and on “all skin types”, that may not be the case. It is important to pay heed to what your undertone is so that you can buy shades that don’t wash you out, or that just look odd. For warmer tones, wear warmer colours like maroons, oranges, and browns. For cooler undertones, wearing more shades with blue or purple hues would look best.

Some of my favorites come from NYX cosmetics, Colourpop Cosmetics, and Maybelline, which go for around $6 per lip product. On the more expensive side, I highly recommend liquid lipsticks from Huda Beauty, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and Kat von D. These are at a standard of $20 per product. If you really want to, you can go to an even higher level with Chanel, Dior and Yves Saint Laurent, but those lip products are always going to be way more expensive going from at least $35 a piece. Once I start making my own money, I wouldn’t mind paying for that, but since I am only 19 and dependent on my parents, I try to keep it as budgeted as possible.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-d73d1b57-1e7b-66ad-19a4-1831809a48dd\" style=\"font-weight: normal;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;

In this dress, the blouse was more conservative and had longer sleeves.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjTChy5mg5RtlGA1As_nZqwx_opFjWsSv1Q1bjURd3yFzYPQiQqWRYDPSpF3zk7uPzFBh6vCJ06vwVS0OcSufdYMF9yrx5K11IIpElolYtFXz28KjfPoXPuBLZgoyPx_vye1NAjYuSLpXU\/s1600\/pic+5.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjTChy5mg5RtlGA1As_nZqwx_opFjWsSv1Q1bjURd3yFzYPQiQqWRYDPSpF3zk7uPzFBh6vCJ06vwVS0OcSufdYMF9yrx5K11IIpElolYtFXz28KjfPoXPuBLZgoyPx_vye1NAjYuSLpXU\/s640\/pic+5.JPG\" width=\"424\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003EMoving onto more contemporary looks, this is a realm that I feel is constantly changing.

(what are these, describe!!!), just because they are easy to manage, and they look great! The pants that are usually given with the suits are not convenient, so I substitute those with a pair of colorful leggings that I purchased separately. Heavy jewelry isn’t necessary either. I usually just put on a pair of earrings and some bangles, and I am good to go. If a fancier party, I wear a pair of heels along as well. This is what I represented in my 3rd and 4th look. The last and final look is very grand and something I would wear to a huge party or a wedding. For more formal events, I wear more ostentatious outfits, made with more sequins and glamour.

This is an outfit that I would wear anywhere from dance to class. Sometimes I wear leggings like these to class, even if I have no plans to go to the gym that day.

I had a lot of fun walking around downtown Chicago and Millennium Park with my friends. For me, it is important to appear effortlessly put together. While the temptation to wear sweatpants and baggy t-shirts prevails, the fun I get out of dressing up pushes me to utilize the clothes in my closet better. Personally, I feel good when I look good. So, whenever I am stressed out about an exam or a lab, I dress up, which ultimately does make me feel a little better. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: calibri; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003EGuest Post by: SriLasya Reddy\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; white-space: normal;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003EPC: Vaidika Patel and Akshay Raju\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.ananyatales.com\/feeds\/4995402420832039997\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ananyatales.com\/2017\/04\/how-to-style-white-t-shirt.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1383562954178786919\/posts\/default\/4995402420832039997"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1383562954178786919\/posts\/default\/4995402420832039997"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.ananyatales.com\/2017\/04\/how-to-style-white-t-shirt.html","title":"How to style a white T-shirt "}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Ananya"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/05156727486680867354"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgmu-Shw1lcwHGVYeSY0CrRxBsO5Nb5ZIf9f1P7KohKZlWICPklemN_ucsCUJbjbzN0o88SZjxOQ8ySwYfXo9L4tYvYqHqz6FEaGSyAzWE3QbRMWAwcTUafW9JnnHb3y0GmmoVdk7g0ctE\/s72-c\/collage+%25282%2529.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383562954178786919.post-9157165988956861683"},"published":{"$t":"2017-03-23T21:35:00.000-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-03-27T21:12:58.090-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Mixed Bag"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Smile, while you can !"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEioPzzgdJXpKuMaE0fUjFVzbAUAkngoC668TNTdFiOQnwXM3oPqoZ6zAlvie8hDlu9fWmjGB5iBflNUGiz63YaEcjniSnm4wt0II2xqiIAjgyytPwsj4TOXmnisGIcqw1TlxVK0p7eZpxI\/s1600\/FullSizeRender.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhN_vsVlXNP5AdlmWEiXo6X0J1G9xHnKWk2MD6lZqSucKU6BCS3rDG5h1WVlqx-ybmADhxDXB-k4UsNRwOAlYqCLhMhp4ZkOLHpvpv32HjKZfXtdTXbVn9RsBkiSV6APTDun0NMcZ1PvgY\/s1600\/FullSizeRender+%25281%2529.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhN_vsVlXNP5AdlmWEiXo6X0J1G9xHnKWk2MD6lZqSucKU6BCS3rDG5h1WVlqx-ybmADhxDXB-k4UsNRwOAlYqCLhMhp4ZkOLHpvpv32HjKZfXtdTXbVn9RsBkiSV6APTDun0NMcZ1PvgY\/s640\/FullSizeRender+%25281%2529.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nPast few weeks have been really difficult. It was as if everything around me was falling apart. I cannot begin to describe how bad it was. If there was just one of few reasons I would write about it but it was everything around me was collapsing. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIf\u0026nbsp;I can pick just one thing to talk about\u0026nbsp;in this post that would be about my cold sore\u0026nbsp;boils. Now you would wonder why would I write about something as trivial and tiny as\u0026nbsp;sore boils. Yes I agree I wouldn't if there were not as severe as mine were. It all started with a small boil on the\u0026nbsp;right end of my lower lips and within hours they were more boils. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAfter two days all the tiny boils joined together to give me a tough fight and that resulted in long sleepless nights.\u0026nbsp;I was in a\u0026nbsp;pitiful plight but I wasn't gonna give it up, right !\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThere was a one big painful boil on the lips,\u0026nbsp;my right check swollen on outside and it\u0026nbsp;spread till\u0026nbsp;my eyes. The swelling was painful as it made my check very stiff and uncomfortable. On the inside there were several ulcers. The medicines weren't helping at all. The doctor said the cold sores will run its course and some\u0026nbsp;people need more time to heal than others, this has always been true for me. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe worst thing was I was not able to talk or open my mouth. I missed eating solid food, yes I am a foodie and not being able to eat makes me really really sad. My lips were burning all the time and with the swelling and the pain it felt as if they would start bleeding anytime. Did I mention I had rashes all over my face, reason goes undetected as always and my poor weak immune system gets blamed for that again.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI didn't go out for first two days tried to take rest and heal but later had to go out and work long hours in office. I couldn't talk for sure and neither could I smile. Yes I couldn't smile and I realized that was so hard for me. When I saw someone I instantly smiled like everyone else but for last two weeks I couldn't as my lips were swollen and weren't flexible at all.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI realized how much we take everything for granted, We complain about so many things but never really feel the gratitude for what we have. These days life has \u0026nbsp;become so busy as we are always on a run. We are running to catch the next train or the flight which takes us forward from where we are. We run and run everyday\u0026nbsp;to earn more\u0026nbsp;so we can spend more but never try to live more. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIts just so important sometimes to stop and just live the moment. To enjoy what we have achieved and appreciate what we have. To be able to give the gift of time and attention to our loved ones and not spend it endlessly looking at our phones. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSomeone said to me last year No one wants to know where you are today, everyone wants to know where you are headed to.\u0026nbsp;I totally did relate to that statement then but\u0026nbsp;now\u0026nbsp;I\u0026nbsp;think\u0026nbsp;its important to just slow down or possibly stop and live the moment\u0026nbsp;you are in,\u0026nbsp;the present and\u0026nbsp;most importantly Smile....

We very rarely think What do I make ? Yes spending money according to our budget and buying gifts is what traditionally we all follow. Sometimes its not the gift itself but the thought behind it what matters the most. Nothing beats the happiness and joy a person feels when they receive a hand made \u0026nbsp;gift.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI know most of us would give an excuse saying \u0026nbsp;we are not crafty or creative, I might want to but not sure if I can really make it happen etc. I would definitely insist if you haven't tried this route before, you should totally try making\/creating a gift instead of buying it. Here are few simple ideas to make your partner happy and fall in love with you all over again.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n1. Cook your partners favorite dish and add a romantic note.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n2. Bake a heart shaped cake or any other dessert.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n3. Write a expressive love letter.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n4. Send flowers and chocolate at workplace.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n5. Leave sticky notes around the house with Love messages.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n6. Go for a long walk and express your love.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n7. Arrange for a hot bath with wine and candles.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n8. Decorate your bedroom with flowers and candles.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n9. Make a video with your old pictures or paste them on your wall.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n10. Sing a song or play an musical instrument, even if you are not an artist.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n11. Do whatever you think will make the other person happy and put efforts in what you do and remember in the end thats what counts the most.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI have tried most of the above ideas and it works wonders. But today for this post I am sharing pictures of gifts exchanged by the most romantic couple I know of - Sai and Phani. They are a couple who know how exactly how to make their partner feel special and loved. I can't thank them enough for letting me share these pictures.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nLastly, Happy Valentines Day to all my readers. I hope you always Love and are loved.
