Wedding Exhibition!!!!!

Hey people i visited this wedding exhibition yesterday & everything there was just sooo gorgeous...

The pastel shaded organza's,the delicate lacework,bold patchworks,the silk & the zardosi...everything was so exquisite & rich.

I personally love  fabrics that are semi opaque & fall with great ease and impart a refined & elegant look.

Indian wear has become so popular all over the world thanks to our designers who have taken designing to a whole new level...from the fabrics used to the drape of  their outfits..everything embodies a certain richness.Their impeccable styling especially in bridal wear makes them a dream for every girl to have!!

It was a lot of of fun trying out the immaculately designed pieces of jewellery...all so gorgeous.
I love costume jewellery too...especially ones made of crystals,faux oversized pearls,semi-precious & imitation stones.....so much variety to choose from!!

So all in all it was great fun...& i will follow up more on bridal wear soon!!

p.s :i was so tempted to buy most of them..haha!!

Yellow Yellow Turmeric

Howmuch ever said is less about the antiseptic,Turmeric.its known for ages for its healing properties.& trust me it always lives up to the word.
I am gonna be sharing a few ways of using this yellow powder for your beauty benefits.
In btwn if possible rather than using the normal turmeric(found in ur kitchen) u can purchase 'aami haldi' also a form of turmeric,but is more useful in cosmetic purposes.

1)add some turmeric with lemon juice,enough to cover your face & neck,keep it on for a while & wash it off.it will give you a good glow as turmeric helps in depigmentation & it also evens out skin tone.
2)turmeric is know to reduce acne.mix it with sandalwood powder & water in a bowl & apply this on face.it reduces the emergence of acne.
3)applying it to a cut or bruise will reduce the swelling,thanx to its healing properties.
4)for a body scrub,mix it with some gramflour & water and scrub it before a shower for a good glow.
5)mix a little turmeric with sugarcane juice & apply it on ur face,to fight with wrinkle problems,as it is said to banish wrinkles.

So discipline is the key & use it effeciently at least twice or thrice in a week to enjoy all its benefits.
p.s: u can also mix a liitle of it in ur sunscreen to match ur skintone!!

So happy tutmeric guys!!
