10 things to take care of before your Christmas party
Our most auspicious moment is knocking the door. Whole year we have been eagerly awaiting for Christmas. A day which forgets cast and creed, rich and poor. Christmas is a symbol of our unity in diversity, a mixture of bliss and sorrow, some people who were with us in celebration, their remembrance with us this time.
We are ready to bid adieu to a promising 2014 and on the verge of welcoming another lovely year 2015. Our festive jubilant mood makes us overenthusiastic and careless. If we take care of our common mistakes, we can make our celebration magical.
Here are 10 things to take care of before your Christmas party
1) Attire
We all are fashionholic, we follow the trends. It is good to follow the current vogue for catching the attention. Christmas is an annual get-together moment with family, friends and colleagues. Following fashion trends is good, but on which occasion, what we have to wear is important.
We usually choose slim fit, short, voluptuous dress, but it creates problems in crowded place. When we turn into jubilant mood, having drinks and dance together, slim fit dress pushed you in a nasty situation. It is important for you wear a comfortable and flexible dress.
2) Sandals
High hill or pencil hill enhances your look, but it may make you feel uncomfortable when You play games, dance and do other movable activities. Christmas and new year are fun loving moments, your high heel may create cramp or damage your ankles. Wear a comfortable sandals and enjoy your party.
3) Credit and Debit cards
It’s true you have to carry your credit or debit cards. If it is possible, chalk out a plan with your friends. Only one of your friends will use the card and you can repay him or her later. If you frequently use the cards in drowsiness, you may forget it anywhere. It can spoil your party mood.
4) Alcohol
Our celebration starts with liquor, it makes us relaxed but, we know everything has its own limitation as drinks too. When we get delighted on a great occasion and celebrate it with friends, we start taking drinks nonstop. It completely makes us unconscious and in that pathetic situation, we may forget our belongings. So always drink in a limit.
5) Party place
We go disco and other large gathering place. We need to be careful in choosing a celebration place. The place should not be overcrowded or beyond its capacity. Smoking creates suffocation and affects adversely on passive smokers, so, It should have proper ventilations and entry and exit doors should be wide enough. Keep above mentioned things in mind before choosing a celebration place.
6) Mobile
When we go to a party, often we keep busy in selfie or give the phone to our friends for catching pictures. When we are drunk, we can forget our cell phone somewhere. Missing cell phones might be a big threat to your privacy. You must avoid frequently using your cell phone in party, it is a big distraction and get you into trouble.
7) Common Medicines
When you go for a new year party, you don’t take care of diets, even your continuous shouting and dancing exhaust you terribly. You may get fainted, or may have vomiting, dehydration and other problems. So, you must carry some first aid medication with you and avoid this panic situation. Medicines may include some common anti NAUSEA/VOMITING tablets.
8) Strangers
Big parties get organized on Christmas and new year’s eve, where we interact with new people. They come from the different part’s of the world and enjoy great moments with us. Interacting with new people is good, but be cautious. Avoid too much mingling with them, until you know them well.
9) Smoking
If you drink, avoid smoking and other drugs which contain caffeine and nicotine. Continuous drinking, smoking and mixing other prohibited drugs together can be the reason of sudden cardiac arrest, chest congestion, blood pressure and other health disorders. Even continuous smoking creates suffocation. It must be avoided; it can paralyze your life and of course party too.
10) Drink and Drive
When we go out to a party, we try to grab every moment of happiness, forgetting our misery, problems and all. Being terribly exhausted and heavily drunk, we get back from party late night. We need to hire a professional driver who will drive you home safely. If we do this arrangement, we can avoid many unprecedented events.
HOMEMADE SKIN CARE TIPS FOR WINTER
Winter is the coldest and yet the most beautiful season of the year. Winter is the time, when most of us enjoy a holiday traveling with family and friends. But, the cold winter season can be harmful to your skin because, It makes your skin dry, dull and dehydrated.
To get the spark on your face back, follow these simple natural beauty tips:
Skin care in winter season
Cleansing is essential in all seasons, not only in winter. Chilly weather makes your skin dry; creates dead cells and black patches on your face. When the temperature starts going down, you need to start caring your skin up.
1. Natural cleansing:
Take 1 tbsp. of tomato juice and 1tbsp lemon juice. Mix it, put all around your face for 15 minutes and wash it off with lukewarm water. You will get back refreshing and flawless skin. It is far better than any branded cosmetic face wash.
2. Natural Scrubbing:
Scrubbing is also equally important, but in winters you need to avoid daily scrubbing.
1) Take 1/4 ripe banana and 1/4 Apple. Mash it in a blender, take 1 tsp. of honey and make a paste. Massage smoothly for 10 minutes on your face then rinse off.
2) If you are exhausted and don’t want to use mixture, then the best way to is to Mix honey with coffee; massage lightly for 10 minutes. You will get a sparkling beauty after that.
3) Grapes are natural scrub. You can directly use the grapes on your face and rub it all around your face lightly. This will make your skin soft and bright.
3. Natural winter face pack:
1) Mix yolk of an egg, 1 tbsp. of honey and 1 tbsp. of almond oil. Apply this mixture on the face for 20 minutes, then wash it off with lukewarm water. You can use only yolk on your face for 15 minutes and rinse it off with warm water. It will bring your complexion back.
2) Take two tbsp. of oats and 2 tbsp. honey. Mix it properly and apply on your face for 10 minutes. Splash with lukewarm water. You will get a soft, smooth and glowing face.
3) Mix half messed banana with half cup of butter or skimmed milk cream. Put this mixture all over the face for 10 to 20 minutes and rinse with Luke warm water. It is a natural face mask and a healthier moisturizer for winter season.
4) Take 1 tbsp. of honey, 2 tbsp. yogurt and 1 tbsp. rose water. Mix all of the ingredients properly. Now apply this paste smoothly all over the face for 20 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water.
4. Natural moisturizer:
Moisturizer is the most essential to keep your skin flawless in winters. Moisturize your skin several times in a day to reduce the dryness on your skin. There are many brands available in the market, which is very costly and not affordable for everybody.
Even artificial moisturizer has side effects. Olive oil, almond oil, mineral oil, avocado oil, primrose oil, sesame or jojoba is the best natural moisturizer. It pampers hydrates and protects the skin. Personally, I use jojoba oil. It stops scars, dryness and adverse effects of cold winds. You can also mix two and three oils, use it as a night massage routine.
Skin care in winter season is not a difficult task. If you follow above mentioned natural beauty ingredients; it will slough off your dry and dead skin. You will be a classic and a fabulous example of beauty.
PS: Any well known brand can’t compete with natural beauty therapy
HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF HAPPY: 6 SIMPLE WAYS
6 ways to be happy
1. Understand your dreams
It is most important to recognize yourself, your potential and your dreams. You have to think what you want to become and what you enjoy doing the most. There may be huge pressure on you from your parents and peers, but you need to overcome that pressure. Choose your desired path and channelize your energy in the right direction.
Don’t start doing anything for the sake of others. It’s your life and you have to be in commanding position all the time.
You have to be strict and communicative while convincing others about your decisions.
Last word – Make a goal keeping in view your interest, competency and potential.
2. Stop over thinking
When you think about starting anything new and unconventional, your mind starts processing as a whirlwind. Many questions arise in your mind and start puzzling you. You think about your friends and family members reactions. What if you don’t succeed in your new venture? What will you answer to the people? It is called over thinking syndrome; and it’s a big hindrance in the way of fulfilling your dream.
If you are not confident of your success then what about others. When you see the background of Brad Pitt, Michael Jordan, Aishwarya Rai and Nelson Mandela, these personalities never looked behind, once they decided to go ahead.
Go ahead with strong determination and enthusiasm in your life. Don’t bother about others
.
3. Let bygones be bygones
Many opportunities and breaks might have come in your earlier life, but you had not grabbed it. You are not the first person who missed the chance, just read the biography of well-known personalities. All have mentioned their past failures. You have to learn from them, how they made a comeback with strong impacts. Failure is the beginning of any success.
So, get over your past failures and move ahead with a new beginning.
4. Education is not an excuse
You may not have excellent academic records. There might be several reasons behind this, ranging from your lack of interest in studying to your poor financial background.
Undoubtedly, education is the most important part of your life, however; it can’t be an excuse for you, not being successful in life.
Mark Zuckerberg to Sachin Tendulkar to Oprah Winfrey, all was school dropouts, but they were very practical, focused and determined towards their goal. If you have skills and proper strategy, education can’t come as a big barricade in your way to success. There are many professional and academic courses where age is not a concern. So, if you think you need some higher studies, you can start today itself.
As someone says” where there is a will there is away”.
5. Stop blaming
Maximum people think that they didn’t get support from family or friends. I firmly believe, everyone gets equal opportunities in their life to become successful. It is true that everyone has a different family background and financial situation. If you accept this reality and move on to fulfill your dreams with a killer instinct, you will get over this easily.
When you see the successful people like Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, they all had the zeal to prove themselves. They all fought against the adverse situation and won. They accepted the harsh reality of life as a challenge and changed the adverse situation in a favorable environment.
It takes time to get recognition but your strong believe in your skills and knowledge will make your presence felt in this world.
6) Avoid comparing:-
World is diversified. Every country has different races, languages, religions and cultures. Besides this, every one has different mind and different physical abilities. No human being is like the other. So it is completely irrational to compare yourself with others and having an inferiority complex. It affects your way to approach with others and your happiness. It only weakens your confidence and hampers your success.
No can make you feel inferior without your consent.
You too can make your presence felt all around the world, if you follow these 6 ways to be happy in life. All successful personalities who crossed these 6 barriers in their lives become path makers for us.
Beauty parlor is a waste of time and money
by: Rashmikhushbu
When I say, Beauty salon is “A Waste Of Time And Money”, It sounds weird, puzzling and certainly raising your eyebrows.
When we take a look of ancient times, there are thousands of books available in different languages. But, we never see any artificial beauty products being used at that time. Let us go back to 1950th century of Hollywood and Bollywood. We don’t see the use of parlors and artificial products. Even, we don’t see the use of branded products, spa, saloon and parlor.
Let me recall you a few names Marilyn Munro, Madhubala and Ava Gardner. They all are still enthralling and mesmerizing us with their natural beauties.
Why I am saying that “beauty parlors are useless”? Yes, i agree, it gives you an artificial temporary beauty. These days, saloons are opened as mushroom and maximum parlors don’t have the knowledge and skills. Even, they are not a dermatologist who could find out the reasons behind pimples, black spot.They don’t have the knowledge to understand about your skin type. Whether it’s oily, dry or normal. They don’t care about hygiene and sanitation.
Then, why we go to the parlor? It is an utter waste of time and money. All beauty therapies easily you can do at your home. Now, let me share with you, how you can do all beauty treatments at home, step by step.
Here are top 7 beauty treatments with natural products:

When your nail paints are dried up, massage all around with almond or coconut oil. Now, you get a soft, clean and well shaped nails, feet, arms and legs.
4) Waxing
Waxing is not easy to do. It demands continuous practice. I firmly believe that only a well-known salon can wax smoothly and without scars.
Before waxing, don’t wash your skin. Just apply talc on the skin and softer wax will make your waxing easier and painless. Now heat your wax to a liquid, and keep it in that same way throughout the process. Use the thinner layer of wax in the direction of hair growth, and use strip immediately extended beyond the waxed area. After that, Zip-off strip in the opposite direction of hair growth. Just do it swiftly and only once. After waxing, don’t use water or any chemicals. Instead, put almond oil all around the wax area and continue it for the next few days.
