Room Tour! // New Beginnings

Hola beautiful people! How's everyone doing? Hope you're enjoying the brand new layout and theme of my website, let me know in the comments below. This blog post is rather a special one because after a really long time I've re-embraced my love for blogging and passion for fashion, yes that rhymed! From almost shutting my website to re-building it I'm really happy about my enthusiasm to create new content and share it with you guys. In this 2.0 updated version of my blog I want to change things up big time! Firstly, the content. I don't want to stick to fashion, but want to be more open about my life experiences. Be it traveling, funny anecdotes or experiences of my first's, I want to talk about it and make this website my online diary, quiet literally! No, I haven't started over with the intention of becoming popular or increasing followers, but I've done this for my love for blogging that I lost somewhere amidst the Instagram competition to stand out and reach the 'k' followers.I hope you guys follow me along with this journey and support me.

 In other news, I'm currently learning Spanish which explains the introductory hola :p According to the app that I'm learning it on I'm 12% fluent in the language, let's see how long it takes me to reach a full 100! One bummer this week has definitely been the underwhelming rains in Mumbai and makes me majorly reminisce 2007/8 rainfall.

If you've been following me on social media (which you should be) you'd know that I recently filmed and captured the fairly new elements of my room to put together a room tour. Here are a few photos and details of the items in my room. Full video is on Instagram, check it out!

 Here's the layout of my room. That's my bed from style spa which I've for many years now. The highlight of the bed is definitely the covers. Bought this 'high school musical' themed bed sheet from Shoppers Stop. The blanket is from D'decor and is undoubtedly the best one I've owned yet.

That's my favorite window. Irrespective of the fact that I live in one of the busiest cities in the country I'm fortunate to have a quiet amidst the noise in my little corner. It's the lush green trees and birds chirping that really get me going in the morning!

A major part of my room re-decoration was this wall. I've wanted a world map of some sort in my room for the longest time and this idea of painting it on my blue textured wall couldn't have been any better. The wall reminds me of how vast the earth is. The more you travel, the more you realize that there's so many countries yet unexplored and so many sights yet unseen. They say its a small world, but is it? The wall depicts my passion for traveling and makes me feel grateful all the time.

No room is complete without some tumblr inspo and DIY love. I saw this wall grid in one of Alisha Marie's videos and wanted to put up something similar in my room. So I diy'ed it (if that's a word) and used an old grill. Spray painted that and hug it up. It's still not done yet because I need to put up more pictures and accesories.

Next up is my desk that I truly adore. Woodwork really fascinates and FabIndia is literally a place I could spend hours admiring just that! I bought this table a couple of years ago and must say, it's still in great shape. I got it polished last month for the first time. On my table I have some plants and flowers. If you ever happen to visit my house you'd know my mom is a plant LOVER and over the period of time she has turned me into one too. Needless to say, I have a lot of plants in room including these cute saplings that I purchased from a store opposite Mini Punjab in Pali hill, Bandra. 

This gorgeous cane art that I don't like to call a bin stands beside this table. I bought it from Arabella (Pali hill, Bandra) and you must visit this store if you want to buy some cool home decor with intricate details.

Can't miss out this hanging lamp again from Fab India. 

Here's my 'vanity' as I like to call it! A huge mirror that usually distracts me while I'm studying, some fairy lights from Fab India (I'm quite a FabIndia hoarder) and of course my storage full of products, oils, comic books and random bits and bobs. 

A Kashmiri mattress because every Indian home is incomplete without one.

Wanted to include another pair of creepers in this blog post. Ah, the joy of having greens around you is weirdly enriching!

Gracias! Thanks guys for reading along. Adios, see you next week!

..Thought for the week..

We rise by lifting others and supporting others success won't dampen yours. Empower & grow.

Pots of positivity,

Running late Makeup Routine!

Hey, hey, hey you guys! How are you'll doing? It's been a pretty crazy week for me unpacking from my Goa trip and getting back to the grind. This week I wanted to post something different from my usual fashion posts. The reason I post very minimal makeup posts is because I'm no expert at it, but well, there's no harm in sharing a little routine with you guys! Over the past few months I've become a little accustomed to wearing makeup and I have been hoarding quite a few products. One common problem that every girl faces is running late. I thought why not do a post about that and share little tricks of getting your makeup done quicker for the last minute readers out there! Again, I'm not an expert so don't judge me. I've listed the products used at the end of the blog post, do check those out!

The moment of self realization when you realise
 you've been procrastinating the entire time..

You've got to prep your face before applying all that makeup. I usually like to start of with the Tea Tree BB cream because it contains spf which saves you a ton of time from all the sunscreen and moisturizer.
Next, it is super easy to blend. It gives medium coverage so you don't need to apply concealer unless
you want to really get rid of spots and under eyes.

Make sure you start off from the centre of your face and then apply it outwards. 

Blend using a sponge which is damp. That gives a better finish and makes
your sponge blend your makeup better.

Next I'm going to set the base using the Mac studio fix powder
plus foundation. Again, I like to use a damp brush for a better finish. This productis a must-have for any im punctual person because trust me it saves a helllot of time and effort. If you have clear skin you can use this as a base as welland you don't really require a base. Moreover, it is compact and can be carried on-the-go.

Next you want to do our eyebrows because it is something that really pops on your face.It gives it a very different shape all together and without much effort makes your face stand out. I'm using the Maybelline eyebrow product which has a pencil as well as a softer sponge side. That lets you blend the product better and doesn't take more than a couple of minutes once you're used to it.

Eyeliner! That's personally very important for me. Eyeliner adds so much definition to your eyes. Even if you don't have the time for a wing you should definitely line your upper lash line. It makes
your eyes look wider. Also, people have this perception that winged eyeliner takes up lot of time, but in reality if you're used to it you can easily wing your eyeliner in seconds in a single stroke! The Lakme liquid fine liner lasts relatively long, it very easy to apply because of it's fine brush and dries up in a few seconds.

Mascara, again something that's incredibly important! It makes your face look much more awake. Make sure
you're applying it right from the root of your lashes till the ends and swaying it to avoid the lashes from sticking to each other.

Alert! Introducing my current favorite product, The Bodyshop Lip and Cheek tint! This has been
my go-to product for the past few weeks and it's natural finish is to-die-for. I chose the shade Pomegranate which\
is a deep red. I like to dab some on my cheeks as well for some red cheeks that look very girly and natural. It dries up in seconds and can some so much time from that lip liner, lipstick and blush!

So this is optional, but you can go ahead and apply some highlighter and bronzer.

Products used:
Tea tree BB Cream
Mac studio fix
Lakme fine liquid liner
Chambor mascara
Maybelline duo brow 
Makeup revolution blush, bronzer, highlight palette 
The Body shop lip and cheek tint
