REVLON Colorburst Experience

Just another day and i went up to the  REVLON cosmetic shelf and wanted to try some new lip color...  I totally fell in love with just the case of the REVLON COLORBURST lipsticks . It comes in many colors, but i chose PEACH.

The lipstick gives a fine glossy yet natural shine...Its more like something between a gloss and lipstick. The color is amazing.

What i love the most about the casing is that you don't have to open it to see what color you re using , the top is colored same as the lipstick... (REVLON is INTELLIGENT he he :D)

Staying Healthy Isn't Only About Diet

Been a long time since i posted last ! Well i did come up with something useful to write about.Something that not many realize... This post is particularly on a friend's request, i was mentioning these things to her and she asked me post it up online as it might be a good read for a few in need :D

In recent years more and more people are becoming health conscious. They want to fix their diet as a part of taking care of themselves.But a fraction of them often forgets that diet is just ONE of the many things that contribute to your health. Another major thing that contributes to your physical health is your 'emotional health' !

It is vital to be healthy on an emotional level as well. By 'Emotional Health' i mean, how well can you balance your emotions. I wont go into too much detail, however i will list a few things below that are most common killers of any emotional health and how you can control them through a little paradigm shift :)

1. Worrying too much over a problem that you cant do much about:

Liked the quote so captured it.

• If you are a student preparing for an exam, writing a report, submitting a thesis, doing your MS, Ph. D  Bachelors, or even a college/high school student, who keeps on worrying or is pressurized by the study load.... First of all, DO YOUR HOMEWORK: Do all the tasks you are supposed to do on your part. i know it is hard to stop yourself but seriously, stop procrastinating! Once you do all the work that you are supposed to do and u keep your things ready(i.e prepare for an exam etc), just sit back and relax. You've done your part all you can wait for is the results. there is no use worrying too much or being paniced. It will only make things worst for you.
  If you are a last minute person and u can only work good under pressure, enjoy until the last minute :) you are BLESSED
  
• If you are a housewife/Girlfriend/Boyfriend/husband: Firstly COMMUNICATE and be honest about your feelings. Communication does wonders!! Secondly TRUST your partner with heart and SAY IT. When they know that you trust them, they will feel the guilt before even breaking your trust, don't suspect them, don't spy on them, that is WRONG!!!.Give your partner freedom and Stop controlling each other too much.Give them time to miss you, don't stick with them 24/7. Remember, relationships are all about making each other feel special and good. Its not about being selfish and keep on hoping for the other person to make an effort ! Stop being selfish and life will be much easier for you. If u have tried everything and things between you and your partner are still not going well, let everything be, sometimes doing nothing solves the problems like they never existed :)

What ever the case, remember, not to worry about anything that you cant do much about. Worrying will only make things worst for you. it will disturb your brain, your hormones, your sleep...diet and eventually your health.


2. Wanting another person's lifestyle/getting jealous of others lifestyle: 

Often i hear people say " i wish i had his kinda life". IF you are the one saying this , STOP saying it. Human mind is fragile and complex, it does listen to whatever you say and on a subconscious level it behaves accordingly. When you say statements like " i wish i had his life" or similar things, whats happening is, that you are lowering your own self esteem. And you are doing it in vain. Why? because you do not know what problems are faced by that very person whose life you are desiring. Remember, nothing is perfect. No body's life is smooth, some people face a lot of problems yet they can smile and pretend that they are the happiest, others face lesser problems yet they whine about it all the time. Be the prior one :)


RULE OF THUMB : IF U HAVE A PROBLEM, FIND A SOLUTION TO IT.IF YOU CANT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM, STOP WORRYING ABOUT IT. 

MORAL: Stay happy, Be positive :)

Putrajaya : Sight Seeing in Malaysia

Putrajaya -The Federal Administrative Center of Malaysia

If i were to rank all the cities in Malaysia based on man made Beauty, i'd rank Putrajaya no.1

Since i visited this city I wanted to promote it among all the people I know :P (YES ITS THAT BEAUTIFUL) Putrajaya is the federal administrative center of Malaysia. I visited this city at night about a few days ago and you wont believe how breathtakingly awesome the view was.

Anywhere you look your eyes will be frozen and you would not wanna turn your eyes away from the view. Unfortunately my phone battery died and i could not capture the beauty around me. However i visited the city again but it was in the day time. It still looks beautiful though :)

The best part of PutraJaya

The best part of Putrajaya is the Seri Wawasan Bridge. I was on the moving bus when i captured this image. So i only managed to capture a part of it! :P But THIS is how it looks like at the night time :)

The most amazing part is when the bridge changes the colors. you would wanna see it over and over again, its so mesmerizing!!

                                                                                                                                                                       

Perdana Putra

Perdana Putra is the building in Putrajaya where the President of Malaysia has his office located.The building appears to be a Magical Palace at night with all those yellow lights glowing...Below is the image that i managed to take at the day time.

Mosque at PutraJaya

Here's one of the most beautiful mosques I have seen known as "Masjid Putra" located at a little distance from Perdana Putra.

Some how i lost my way into the crafts shops located nearby this area, They had these amazing hand made pillow covers and other fabric wall hangings with elephant motifs...  

If you're visiting Malaysia, you've got to give this place a visit :D Enjoy!

Revive your Dinner Table!

Something caused me to think today, how busy our lives have gotten. Work-Home-Sleep-Work.... Most will agree that we don't really get time to think about the tiny details of our daily eating habits that need a change. But they haven't even gotten our attention!

Well, here's a few I find worth mentioning.

1. Table Salt: If you are using table salt, you IMMEDIATELY need to get rid of it! Table salt is acidic and can add to your gastric problems! salt is a natural antibiotic that kills good bacteria in the body. it messes up with the normal absorption of water  since it  retains water ; which possibly leads to constipation and the accumulations of toxins in the intestinal tract. Most table salts are depleted of minerals the body needs and have additives that are harmful when ingested.
    Tip: Get natural or partially refined sea salt! It will give you the vital minerals that your body requires.
2. Refined White Sugar: Of all the food known to us today, White sugar is the WORST!! I can keep on going with the amount of disadvantages;first of it will increase your dental bills,It can make you obese, over-weight, can cause you osteoporosis, and make you diabetic, weaken your eye sight, cause drowsiness, impair the structure of DNA, can cause food allergies.Tip: Encourage yourself and your kids to replace sugar by other natural sweeteners, honey could be the best option and it tastes great if you add a few table spoons of honey to tea and lemon water! Don't be fooled by consuming brown sugar, its almost the same.
3. Carbonated Drinks: Carbonated or fizzy drinks (Coke, Pepsi, 7Up, Fanta etc) contain a great deal of sugar content. They also make your blood acidic. Body needs 37 glasses of water (pH 10) to neutralize the effects of one glass of Coke! IMAGINE the damage it can cause!

Things you need to add to your daily routine:

1. Lemon Water: There could be nothing more refreshing than a glass of

fresh squeezed lemon in a glass of Luke warm water! Add a pinch sea salt and a table spoon of honey for a kick off!

2. Nuts and seeds: We take nature for granted!  If you're a cereal lover, you might want to add nuts to your bowl of cereal. Just to name a few ; walnuts,almonds, amaranth, cashew nuts, coconut, hazelnut, millet, oats, peanuts! They contain a great deal of potassium, calcium, vitamin B1-B2, omega3 etc.

3. Carom seeds and mint leaves: Carom seeds might not be that popular in west, but i am sure you can find them at local food stores, or maybe an Indian shop. Carom seeds contain thymol and are quite good for indigestion problems.

Mint serves the same purpose. In addition mint also helps lessen blemishes and cleanses skin inside out, the trick is to include it in your daily routine! You can add mint to your daily diet by simply adding mint leaves to your lemon water, or make yourself some tasty mint chatni.

Water; A miracle...

To begin with, the first miracle is that i am writing this blog, LoL, YES i'm 22 and  this is my very first blog. So here's a little about me, i'm not really fond of reading (i.e reading books, novels newspapers/ magazines etc...) or WRITING... i am more of a person who likes to draw,sketch,paint etc... 

So what caused me to miraculously start blogging today...? 
Well its simple.... WATER !


So today i was going through a health article and i came across a quote 

'Water is the only drink for a wise man.' -Henry David Thoreau 

This took me back somewhere around my 1st grade science book that said  body is made of 60% Water. Made me wonder how essential it is to life. In fact Water is LIFE, it can contain life within it. It is so essential that none of the human body organs would function well if Water intake is not well maintained. Its just common that we take this miracle for granted. And yet some of us say "Miracles don't happen" , well my answer to that is; true that they dont happen, they are already there, we re just too blind to see them.
