I have been eyeing Alex and Ani bangles for sometime and recently picked couple of them from Nordstrom. Here is little bit about Alex and Ani for those who have never heard of this brand, their products are handcrafted in America and they promote sensitivity towards the well being of the planet, communities and individual path.
The bangles are expandable to fit different wrist size and each piece is customized to make it your own style. I picked up Scorpio and Path of life charms each with enclosed notes describing about symbols on the charms. Check it out as you might find it interesting as well.

Ladies, you got to try this mascara, I am really impressed with this one. It has mixed reviews but in my opinion, it’s a beautiful product. I find the formula dark, wet, rich and lovely. It definitely curls, defines and separate the lashes. A huge plus for me is that it doesn’t dry crunchy. It’s soft, but holds its shape. When I tried to remove it, I did notice it was tough to remove with makeup remover. After researching online found out that it comes out easily with oil based cleanser or any oil ( not sure.. haven’t tried it yet).
This mascara actually does what it advertises. The short bristles deposits most of the mascara at the base of the lashes and longer bristles fans out the lashes beautifully. The curved shape of the brush makes it easier to lift and curl the lashes. Overall a great mascara and a definite repurchase for me.
Have you tried this mascara? What are your thoughts?

Hello!! Ladies, 2015 is here, which means – new fashion trends, new makeup, innovation and lots of exciting stuff to look forward to. Recently, Pantone announced color of the year 2015: Marsala. I was intrigued so checked the nearby Sephora, and ladies if you are a fan of copper brick tone, then you gonna love this color. It’s a earthy red caramel tone and it resembles the Marsala wine. So to show you all I picked up Pantone color of the year multi finish eyeshadow palette. It has matte, shimmer, pearl and glitter finish eyeshadows and one can create endless combinations. It’s a very earthy tone palette with reds, browns, few greens, a silver and a blue shade. Overall good quality and most of them blends well except glittery ones, which can be slightly flakey. I love caramel, copper, brick, burgundy and brown shades, so for me 2015 color trend is a winner. Here is to color of the year
Are you a fan of this color?
How do you start your day, with fear or faith? I have noticed a pattern that when I sleep with worry or negativity in mind, I wake up next day with the same anxious thoughts, no wonder it’s recommended to start and end a day with positive thoughts, but sometimes it’s hard to shake that worry, which has been bothering for days. I am also guilty of feeding negative thoughts with more negativity, the result is fear and anxiety for no apparent reason.
For years I have been reading books and tried new stuff to overcome my anxiety but realized with time, that a simple shift within was all that’s needed. Books are great way to inspire and it surely helps to give perespective and motivation, but it’s ones effort that will make it happen. In this journey of life I met some wonderful people who always seemed happy and full of zest for life, and it got me thinking, do they have a perfect life ? No, they choose to be happy and enjoy this wonderful journey – LIFE. So, shift your thoughts from fear of everything wrong in your life to faith instead, and you will see nothing short of miracle.
Always be full of gratitude for the life given to us by almighty. This is a way to condition ones mind that faith in God will overpower all the obstacles and It’s waste to drown oneself in worries, self pity and negativity. Promise yourself today that no matter whatever obstacles thrown your way, you will keep SMILING, BELIEVING and let’s start New Year with all positivity and joy. Happy New Year 🙂
First time I heard of this brand was on Youtube and was curious to try. Recently, came across KIKO store and was blown away by how their products are laid out, each counter dedicated to different products like one counter for lipsticks, another one for eyeshadows and so on. The color range of KIKO MILANO products will blow you away. In my opinion, their products give the high street brands a run for their money. Here are few products I picked:
Long lasting stick 8 hour no transfer eyeshadow in #36 and #31- nice staying power and smooth application
Crystal sheer lipstick in #418 – it’s a light pink color and very moisturizing
Double glam eyeliner in dark purple and cream shade – smudge free and easy to apply
Nail lacquer in blue – last longer and opaque.
Pencil lip gloss – dark reddish tone with very fine glitter.
I own few of these Nail Inc shades, which at first didn’t came out as wow!! to me. I was pleasantly surprised when the color on the nails came out much nicer then it looked in the bottle. The formula is amazing with lovely lacquered sheen and the consistency of polish is opaque with self leveling effect so it gives the impression that I got my nails done at the salon. Here are few shades I own:
* Grosvenor Crescent
* Bruton Mews
* Alexa Cashmere
* Regents Park
Jewelry is such a beautiful way to show your care and a great gift to give on christmas or on any special occassion. Jewelry is a way to express ones personality and defines who we are. You can buy personalized jewelry from Pandora and share some unforgettable moments with your loved one or shop for bold statement pieces from sites like shopbop and baublebar. I am a huge fan of cocktail rings, bold statement pieces and delicate necklaces, which reflects my personality.
Here are few pieces from my own fashion jewelry label. Enjoy !!
What kind of jewelry you like to wear?
