Hello to all the gorgeous ladies out there!!
I would like to share with you about one of the best video make-up artist that I came across online most recently. I am talking about the fabulously talented Michelle Phan. She is Vietnamese- American make-up artist and also the spokesperson for Lancome. I look forward to her tutorials for inspiration. She is a youtube sensation with over 98 videos that have been viewed 150,000,000 times!
Michelle is just 23, but, has already worked her magic backstage during Chris Benz fashion week 2009 and Michael Kors Spring collection 2010. Her beauty tutorials are a must see for all of us who love to play with make-up and look gorgeous. Whatever the occasion, Michelle’s make-up tutorials are so delightful to watch and do it on our own. W e cannot afford in terms of finances and timings to get a make-up artist at our doorstep all the time, but we surely have five minutes to have a quick look at her awesome videos on youtube to get whatever look we want for a particular occasion. Some of the popular tutorials on her channel are “Romantic Valentine Look”, “Seductive Vampire”, “Brighter Larger Looking Eyes”, “Makeup For Glasses”, and “Mysterious Masquerade Look”. Her most popular videos include the “Lady Gaga Poker Face Tutorial”. Her videos are very interesting and easy to follow.
So now you know where you need to go if you need an instant tip on any kind of make over!

I wish we have a never ending amount of options when it comes to dating and bedding the men in our lives. One lazy afternoon I discovered the stunning similarities we can draw for both men and the clothes we wear season after season, except that we normally don’t change our men every season! Can you for once imagine what it would be like if only it was so…
“I have clothes that are too frumpy which I wear at home for the simple reason that they are comfortable, I would also rather have a home made coffee with a frumpy looking guy,although, I intend to go on a date with a smart, intelligent and witty charmer wearing my lavender figure hugging lycra backless dress. No offence to the frumpy guy out there, it’s just that I am comfortable wearing my frumpy dress when I am with you but not with the charmer”.
Some clothes are too tight and some men are too possessive. We got form fitting clothes that are stretchable and men that are “very” liberal yet protective. Some clothing pieces are meant only for the bedroom and some men leave before we could say “good morning”. We wear old and torn t-shirts if we have to dye our hair and look out for the guy friend if we have to shed a tear over lost love. Shiny dresses make us feel glamorous for that moment but we can’t sleep in them, and wealthy boyfriends try to bargain love with expensive gifts for lost times. We stick to our woollens to combat the icy winters even though they take up huge closet spaces and we stay true to our man who demands a lot from us, for we intend to cuddle up to them when we need to feel the warmth of true love.
We see clothes being displayed on shop windows and strutted down the runways from season to season and then we also see men on the street, neighbourhood, work and everywhere. You choose both with great patience so it doesn’t go out of style even if the season does….

This season i decided to stick to what looks best on me and not experiment too much trendwise. I especially love the way short lycra & jersey dresses wrap the feminine torso. White has always been a dominant colour in my wardrobe and colourful geometric prints just flatter any body type, ofcourse depending on the size of prints for specific bodytypes. Oh and yes the blazer adds a lot of attitude when worn over a tight short dress!!!

I was hardly 9 when my parents took me to Shillong for my first ever outstation holiday. The best thing about a place like Shillong is the fact that its never boring; the climate, the markets and people most of all. A lot of people from different parts of the world come here for visits and the culture here is something to look forward to. They have a matrilineal society, yeah it’s different and its very interesting too. And, getting back to my original topic ie my puja holidays in Shillong, I can’t express to my fullest satisfaction the thrill i got just knowing that i was going to be there for a whole week! My dad always keep me informed of what exactly we are gonna be doin whenever he takes us out. We visited so many nooks and corners of the town that had the puja pandals. The highlight of this puja was this that my parents got me a saree that had red borders and mustard colour pattern in the body. It was the best gift ever!

Often i wake up thinking about how i don’t wanna die…this feeling is so intense that if i don’t get a call from someone at that particular time and tell me about something fun to look forward to then i would be on bed jus doing that! I have asked a lot of people; friends, acquaintances, colleagues etc bout the fact and how they deal with that, yet none of their answers make me sit back and think of Death as something that is simply to be taken as an ” I have lived my life and now it’s time for D” …i say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWAY. I NEED BETTER REASONS TO DIE FOR. I have to do so much and i am not ready yet i guess to even think about it but thoughts find their own way into my mind. Writing down my fear makes me feel better coz the burden seems to be lighter somehow as more people read this on….

The whole week has been some sort of malfunctioning in my calm routine. I skipped my laundry, my messy cupboard remains messy, and my thoughts revolve around the same old issues. Solutions.When. There was also a time when I thought about working as an english teacher in Korea, later i heard that the political situation in Korea is not stable and i forgot about my thought. I can’t even begin to explain how important it is for me to have some sort of change in my entire routine, its much anticipated!

The office is more than half empty as of now and the weather outside is still flirting with the everending day. I don’t know for sure if I dread to see my messy apartment( courtesy of the three adorable puppies ) more or the tussle with the rickshaw drivers outside my office to whom i would have to beg to give me a ride home. Times like this I miss my village Kangtsung, in Nagaland. Tried to google a couple of times but it is impossible to track it down, i should probably do something about it. There is so much that I miss about my village, unfortunately those are the things I miss only when it rains over here in Mumbai! So many random thoughts so many funny & unbelievable excuses for doing things to cheer myself up…and the quick smoke outside my office are some of the activity that’s keeping me busy until my shift gets over. This is one of those rainy days I guess when I have nothing specific to do or talk about.

I had a frown on my face when i seated myself inside the ” autorickshaw ” enroute santacruz east to visit my friend, we had plans to go shopping later. Nomatter what the weather is, a little trip to the busy shopping streets is always worth the squeeze! The hot weather was so not appropriate for the fancy “ordeal”. Girls will be girls 
This season Yellow tops my list as far as colours go, and I am sooooooo glad i found this top that has a wide neck which could be worn as an off shoulder piece at times…and the best part is it did not burn a hole in my purse as my MANGO Skirt suit did! This skirt is as good as one of Philip Lim’s Spring 2009 collection; high waisted, perfect cut, finest fabric, attention to details and the perfect size for a petite frame. I think i like it better than Philip’s wool blend ruffle skirt. So i can proudly say that i have close to 5 nos of high waisted skirts, one for each day of the week now!
“Highwaist” is here to stay.
Highwaist denims are next on the list. Keep coming to my blog!

I have always strongly believed in feng shui, astrology, tarrot reading ….you name it and I am in. My office hosted one such event today and it was obvious that I wanted to get my face “read”.
My enthusiam was fulfilled when I dashed to the face reading room irrespective of who’s turn it was because i knew that i lacked the patience to wait for my turn on this one! The first thing i noticed was how light hearted and casual the whole experience was unlike the one that i had imagined. This guy’s first question to me was ” aapko hindi samaj mei aata hai na?”…that was expected but i was so keen on the actual thing that i forgot to laugh. He was shorter to me and told me things that i agreed to a great extend, but my ears froze when I entered the room again a little later only to discover that he was narrating the exact scripts of “my” face reading to my colleague too.
I was happy when my session was over even if his prediction of my past was totally incorrect when he said ” you have been on your own since 18 years of age”, and i say to myself ”what rubbish? its been only 3 years since i am away from my folks and it would imply that i am only 21 now…hah!
Guys in my office did not get chairs to sit for lunch because the ladies were getting their nail-art done! Clearly they were mad at us…hahaha, but they were not vocal about the same…poor poor guys they are very compromising in my office. They deserve Men’s day…..nah not really , it doesn’t sound good enough.
So here’s a big cheers to all the lovely ladies!
