10 Ways to Make Your Hair Awesome!

To put it in a way Khalil
Gibran once famously did – 
Forget not that the
earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair
.”
I’m sure this puts
everyone, as even myself, in a fix. We all love our hair and looking at
gorgeous hair because it makes us feel beautiful on the inside. But the
predicament remains: How do we get there? The process is too tedious, isn’t it?

10 Ways to Make Your Hair Awesome!


Well, not anymore! I’ve
compiled together a simple list of to-do’s to achieve the kind of hair you only
dream about! These to-dos however fit right into your life and are extremely
easy to follow.

•    It all comes down to the right shampoo
Rule no #1 is to avoid
all kinds of cheap and unreliable shampoos and only opt for shampoos that
guarantee damage control, because that’s when they really work wonders on your
hair. Dandruff shampoos make a bigger difference as they cleanse your scalp,
even if you don’t have any dandruff. So you know what to do. An bonus would be
a shampoo that doubles up as a conditioner and hence does all the work that you
don’t have to worry for later!

•   
Conditioning
Speaking of conditioners,
not only are they essential for heat protection, but they make your hair super
shiny and take care of it as they are a better source of coating hair. Great
conditioners are the secret to voluminous and lustrous locks. Shh. Don’t tell
anyone.

•    Oil
One of the most basic yet
most underrated liquids that keeps our hair alive from the within: Oil! They
make everything better- improve hair growth, result in shinier hair, reduce
dandruff and get rid of the unwanted dry skin as also other unnecessary
particles. Ayurveda, as most of us are aware is the idea of a balance in bodily
systems which uses diet and herbal treatment. Luckily for us, there are hair
oils in
Patanjali, ranging from Coconut,
Amla, and Almonds, that can also be used for dandruff to make the process
easier!

•    It’s
time for that foodie in you to come alive!
Almost everything you
consume has everything to do with how your hair looks and feels. 
It’s true. Maintaining a
proper diet will go a long way for growth and volume. This is how:

1.   
Protein.
Meats and fish are
unmatchable when it comes to a healthy hair growth. What’s essential is that
they contain the required fats which help to sustain the hormones and keeping
you healthy.

2.    Vitamin
Spinach, Citrus, and
Brocolli are some of the examples of Vitamin C that are commonly used to
promote the extensive growth of hair. Regular use of these will ensure you
flourishing hair.
•    Cold water
Simply put, heat or hot
water can reduce the volume of your hair. If cold is too cold for you, go for
lukewarm water that doesn’t tear up your strands, even if you end up with a
cold later! As for conditioning after the nourishing shampoo, it works best
with cold water to leave you feeling like a princess and utterly satisfied with
your hair.
•    Even
your hair needs special treatment
Every once in a while,
don’t forget to treat your hair to a little something extravagant. Deep
conditioning treatments like all organic and exquisite oils, conditioners,
natural treatments and hair masks are all a day’s work for you that are
everlasting with your hair. It’s these little things that will relieve you and
work their magic in a mystical way!
•   
Cleanliness is Godliness
Probably the easiest and
probably the most difficult for all of humanity. Keep your
hair clean! From using quality
products that are suitable along with your hair, chopping off those split ends
when you see them coming, washing your hair regularly according to the climate
of the area you live in to tying it up and handling it with care, these are the
most known yet unknown cheats to achieving better hair over the years. Practice
makes a man perfect, doesn’t it?

•    It’s
that time of the day.. hormones!       
The next time you don’t
sleep well or are stressed out because of something’s been bothering you: think
again. It might be the reason you’re losing hair. Literally. Not everyone knows
that our hormones also play a vital role in hair growth, which can ultimately
be poor, if the hormones stay unbalanced. So, work towards your health and have
a balanced lifestyle that is easy for you to maintain and beneficial for your
locks.
•    This
might hurt: Avoid heat styling.
The first tip to heat
styling goes: don’t do it. It’s a common phenomenon that it affects and damages
hair to a certain extent and no matter what your hairdresser may tell you, it’s
always a good option to avoid it so you don’t have any permanent damage to your
hair. If you absolutely must, use heat rollers and ones that have the heat
protectant spray to protect your lovely tresses.

•    Trimming
Ugh, the very thought of
this is excruciatingly painful. It’s difficult to chop off hair when you
literally live with, and have grown (with) it all by yourself, however, this
only brings you a step closer to fuller and shinier hair. Trimming a little of
those unwanted split ends help hair prevent breakage and hence maintain a
healthy balance without all those split ends living with you throughout the
years.

It’s going to take some
work, yes. But it’s going to be worth it, because we’re all worth it!

Stylish and Fashioned: What Do Spanish Women Wear?

Let us imagine the character and appearance of Spanish
woman. As a matter of fact, the appearance of Spanish women is not very bright
or impressive. They look like Italians, but less delicate by silhouette and
character. So, what do they usually wear?



What Do Spanish Women Wear?
What about Spanish style? Are Spanish women stylish by
dressing? You may go from the city to city, looking for something interesting,
original and similar features. Never forget that Spain is full of tourists:
Americans, Italians, French, British women, but not Spanish. So, Spanish style can
be characterized in the context of 2 parts: Spanish style in the cities and Spanish
style in Barcelona. It is impossible to do in different way.



STYLE AND FASHION IN PROVINCES AND
TOWNS
It is time to speak about style and dressing in Spanish
cities and provinces. Their style is characterized as casual. The look is not glamorous, but often layered. This is an
interesting fact: Italians look elegant, but Spanish women look sportive.

Girls
Young women wear stretched blue jeans with ugg boots or
high boots. This style is comfortable and admirable. Nevertheless, Spanish
women are not very slim. So, their stretched jeans look rather silly. Women do not
wear heels, using platform.
Aged Women
It is interesting, but all women in the age of 60 wear
similar clothes by style: short pink or beige sweater, black pants of original
fit, boots, glasses and short hair. You may count! There is one more interesting
moment: it happens that Spanish girls have deep thighs, but the most of aged women
are slim and fitted.
Layered Look
As you know, local brands are popular. Pay attention to
big size clothes: sweaters, cardigans, tunics – they are popular. Spanish women
prefer wearing one thing above the other, combining sweater, poncho and cotton
leggings.

Colors
Of course, black color is the main color in Spain. The
weather is warm, but people prefer wearing black clothes. Pay attention to
stylish combination of black and brown. You meet many women dressed in black
clothes and brown shoes, or black clothes and brown bag. This is true, but Spanish
style prefers mostly brown shoes.



Clothes and Accessories
Spanish girls really like wearing girls and women
dressed in skirts and dresses. Of course, the dresses and skirts are midi,
masterfully combined with black tights and platform shoes. NO heels! There is one
more popular thing to wear – shorts. The shorts are usually worn for tights and
leggings, as you like. Speaking about must have clothes for girls, every second
women must have sunglasses and scarf. They wear scarf not for keeping warm, but
necessary accessory even inside.

Spanish women do not like accessories, such as rings, bracelets
and ear rings. Nevertheless, the samples of jewelry in the local shops are high
class and high quality. It is better than Italian jewelry, indeed. It is
interesting but Spanish women do not hunt for popular brands and fashion looks.
Nevertheless, they have a unique quality to combine clothes for day or evening
clothes set. The most of women that you meet in the street of Spanish provinces
and towns are stylish and well-dressed. Their

style
is
special, socalled casual elegance.

STYLE AND FASHION IN BARCELONA
Wow! Barcelona is a paradise for highfashion and stylish people. If you
want to meet new friends, who know everything about fashion, you should come to
Barcelona. Their style is not Spanish. The city is full of different people
from different countries of the world. They are Americans, English, French,
Italians and others. So, the style in Barcelona is mixed. You know, there is a
feeling that you read the pages of fashion magazine, one by one. You can find many
interesting looks and crazy ideas.


By the way, you cannot understand but see the Spanish
passion to wear clothes from Gusto Barcelona
and Desigual. Desigual is much cheaper,
of course. Every second women in the street (age of 20-40) wears clothes from
Gusto Barcelona. The clothes are bright: black T-shirts, coats, dresses and jackets
are decorated with bright houses, flowers, animals.

Barcelona Shopping Line
The best simple way to visit all popular trade points
in the city is city bus. You should buy ticket for 10 EUR for Barcelona Shopping Line. It usually goes
the route Port Vell – Raval – Ramblas –
Ribera – Barri Gotic – Placa de Catalunya – Eixample – Passeig de Gracia –
Rambla de Catalunya – Avinguda Diagonal
. As you can see, the route takes
you through the main important points: trade centers and shopping streets. The
ticket is valid for one day. You can go out where you want, spend your time
there, waiting for the next bus of the same route. It is really comfortable.
There is always a chance to make your route special
and seriously shopping. You do not have to waste time for visiting cheap and
standard shops. You may
Hire aCar in Barcelona
and get whenever you want to find the best exclusive shops on the go. There is
nothing better than spontaneous things and emotions.

Vintage
Barcelona is a real paradise for all who like vintage
clothes. Firstly, you can find the street, where the most of vintage shops and
boutiques are situated – Riera Baixa.
There are many second-hand shops, gothic shops, HOLALA shops chain. All you
need is going from one shop to another. The street is full of interesting shops.
You cannot keep in memory all of them. It is not about only vintage. There
are many extravagant showrooms. Pay attention to Produit National Brut, for example. The
assortment of unusual and original silver jewelry is impressively big.



Welcome to Glories
Catalanes
– city square, where you can find the oldest second-hand market
in the city. Of
course, it is said about Els Encants. The shop was opened in the 14th century. It is considered to be the biggest market in Europe. You
can find vintage accessories here (pay attention to sun glasses), jewelry,
second-hand clothes, vintage furniture and other artifacts for your collection.

KNOW YOUR DIAMOND!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Shining Star, How I wonder How Real You Are?
Doesn’t your inner conscience hop up and down in frenzy whenever you are buying your favorite jewel especially when it comes to diamond?
And when it comes to shopping jewelry online. I’m sure it must be doing a hula hoop just like mine.  Face it. We all have been through that phase, unsure, confused, an eerie little doubt jumping whether this deal worth it?


But don’t panic, just frolic, because after going through this, you can brag your knowledge about diamond like a pro. We cover up everything, from the index to the glossary you need to know before you again and click on the ‘pay’ button of that pretty piece of diamond stud earrings.
The basic concepts which should be kept in mind while buying diamond jewelry online consist of the 4 Cs. Which are as follows:
1. Color :
Yeah, you must be wondering that how on the earth color can be a characteristic property of diamond? But, even being transparent, it can be different from other diamonds on the basis of their absence of color.
Did you know that just like us, diamonds are also graded after their evaluation? Finally, someone can understand our pain. But also, their grading system starts from D and ranges till Z. Intrigued?
Okay, so what actually happens is the purest form of diamond is as crystal clear and transparent like a water drop and is graded as D. But as we move to less transparent diamonds because of the presence of impurities in them, their grades degrade and thus their price and quality.



So before buying a diamond, make sure to know the grade of your diamond.
2. Clarity:
Just like clarity in our thoughts is necessary, similarly a diamond also needs to have clarity. No wonder diamond are called a woman’s best friend. They are so much like us. There are chances that while polishing a diamond, a few polish marks remain which may reduce the clarity of the diamond. Apart from that, during the growth of the diamond, a few minerals may get trapped in it which also cause the diamond to be impure. Apart from that, a feather also causes the degradation of the clarity of a diamond. Don’t worry, we’re not talking about the feather of a bird but it is a general term for a break in a diamond. This not only decreases the haziness of a diamond but increases the price. Pheww..They have it more difficult than us. We really don’t have to  be flawless every time but diamonds, they need to immaculately perfect.

3. Cut:
By cut we don’t mean princess cut, emerald cut and all, the perfection with which all the faces of the diamond interact with the light. We don’t want to scare you with all the technicalities but just for hint, the angle by which the light gets reflected back on the surface determines its shine. Also, the symmetry and the proportions of different sides of the diamond are an important factor too. Too much maths eh?

4. Carat:
Please don’t tell me that you misread it as carrot! Obviously not.
Just like we girls are conscious about our weights similarly our diamonds are as well. But in their case, they think heavy and healthy is good and not like us, who lift the whole world up if the weighing needle dares to shift to the higher side of the number line. A carat which is equivalent to 200 milligrams is also one of the major factors determining the pressure on your pocket. The heavier it is, the lighter your pocket will become. But its gonna be worth it when that stone shines on your ears as dangler earrings or shimmers on your neck in the shape of a necklace. And it would surely turn heads when you rock that rock as an engagement ring. You would definitely love the spotlight.
So now that we have enlightened you with the basic rules of the diamond-shopping game go ahead and splurge.

Shine bright like a diamond!

How to Transform Your Loungewear from Frumpy to Fabulous – Free Guest Post

A funny thing happens when you start to practice yoga. In addition to staying fit and believing in mindfulness, meditation, and karma, you start to live in your yoga clothes—outside of the yoga studio.
First, you feel ashamed of it, wondering where your formal style (and perhaps a sense of decency) went. Then, you start to make excuses for it, like the fact that fitness stores pay you to advertise their stuff (full disclosure: they don’tbut I can dream, right?). And then, the best thing starts to happen: you stop caring about what other people think and just do your thing. These days, stores like Lululemon and Lucy are making some great yoga gear. Why not wear it daily?
This situation is the inspiration for our blog post on transforming your loungewear from frumpy to fabulous. Say you are headed from a light yoga class to a brunch with the girls and have little time in between. (We are assuming you haven’t sweat too much in your yoga gear, so don’t try this after a hot Bikram class!) Little did you know, you are just a few steps away from frumpy to fabulous?
Step 1: Fix your hair. A little mess can actually go a long way in creating a great hairstyle, especially when it comes to updos. After a gentle yoga class, forget about washing and blow drying your hair. Save yourself some time—and save some of your hair’s natural oils—by pulling your hair back into a messy updo.



The goal is actual to look less put together, which makes you look more put together (fashion is a funny thing) because it doesn’t seem like you are trying too hard. That is a style cheat if we ever heard of one!
Step 2: Select your pieces well. One of the best things that you can do for instant glam is to wear a pair of stylish, loose-fitting yoga pants. These are made in such a way that it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between a very fancy pair and your basic loungewear item. So put on a pair of effortlessly chic pants with a Pretty Yoga Top, and you are set to go.

Step 3: Accessorize! The simple outfit we put together in Step 2 just needs jazzing up before heading out on the town. Put on a statement necklace, some small, sparkly earrings, and a pair of flashy sandals. Find a patterned bag to pull it all together, and you are ready to head out.


Step 4: Use a cardigan. If it’s cool outside, just add an elegant cardigan to the ensemble.

You can put together outfits that work for you using some of the steps that we outlined above to easily transform loungewear to everyday wear, as well as discover some tricks of your own. The secret to a happy life is taking care of you, without guilt or inhibition. So go the extra mile to make yourself look and feel your best.

Then, you start to make excuses for it, like the fact that fitness stores pay you to advertise their stuff (full disclosure: they don’tbut I can dream, right?). And then, the best thing starts to happen: you stop caring about what other people think and just do your thing. These days, stores like Lululemon and Lucy are making some great yoga gear. Why not wear it daily?
This situation is the inspiration for our blog post on transforming your loungewear from frumpy to fabulous. Say you are headed from a light yoga class to a brunch with the girls and have little time in between. (We are assuming you haven’t sweat too much in your yoga gear, so don’t try this after a hot Bikram class!) Little did you know, you are just a few steps away from frumpy to fabulous?
Step 1: Fix your hair. A little mess can actually go a long way in creating a great hairstyle, especially when it comes to updos. After a gentle yoga class, forget about washing and blow drying your hair. Save yourself some time—and save some of your hair’s natural oils—by pulling your hair back into a messy updo.



The goal is actual to look less put together, which makes you look more put together (fashion is a funny thing) because it doesn’t seem like you are trying too hard. That is a style cheat if we ever heard of one!
Step 2: Select your pieces well. One of the best things that you can do for instant glam is to wear a pair of stylish, loose-fitting yoga pants. These are made in such a way that it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between a very fancy pair and your basic loungewear item. So put on a pair of effortlessly chic pants with a Pretty Yoga Top, and you are set to go.

Step 3: Accessorize! The simple outfit we put together in Step 2 just needs jazzing up before heading out on the town. Put on a statement necklace, some small, sparkly earrings, and a pair of flashy sandals. Find a patterned bag to pull it all together, and you are ready to head out.


Step 4: Use a cardigan. If it’s cool outside, just add an elegant cardigan to the ensemble.

You can put together outfits that work for you using some of the steps that we outlined above to easily transform loungewear to everyday wear, as well as discover some tricks of your own. The secret to a happy life is taking care of you, without guilt or inhibition. So go the extra mile to make yourself look and feel your best.
