Styling this winter with Leather....

Hello winter lilies..... 

Winter is chilling all of us and its time to take care and look stylish this season. Bestest way to dress up this winter is to invest in a good leather product.

Leather products are usually expensive because of their quality, durability and appeal. However, I like to recommend leather products for those exact reasons. Leather products, although pricey at first, pay themselves off because of how long they last. Once you buy leather products, you’ll find you won’t have to replace them as often compared to non-leather products. Anyways, here’s a list of recommended leather products you should own.

1. Leather Jacket

A must for leather products is a leather jacket! Not only do leather jackets look boss but they usually last years and insulate from the cold. With that being said, they are definitely worth the investment. Plus, leather jackets can be dressed up or dressed down and are perfect for when you’re feeling edgy.

2. Leather Boots

Today, it’s hard to find quality shoes at reasonable prices. Plus, some shoes that do cost a leg and an arm also have quality issues. However, boots made out of genuine leather don’t fall apart as easily. In addition, leather boots can withstand a lot of wear and tear, making them another great investment for your fall and winter wardrobe.

3. Leather Purse

Nothing says luxury like a leather purse! Women definitely use and abuse their purses by throwing them around, toting them around in the worst weather conditions and filling them up past their holding capacity. However, leather bags can withstand a lot more tough love than fabric or polyurethane bags.

4. Leather Wallet

What goes with a leather purse better than a leather wallet? Wallets also endure their fair share of hardship. They hold a frenzy of cards, old receipts, and occasionally wrappers. However, with a quality leather wallet you won’t have to worry about overusing your wallet.

5. Leather Couch

Over time, leather becomes softer, making it the ideal fabric for a couch. Plus, today leather can be treated so it repels stains, making it even more suitable if you’re a messy eater, throw get-togethers often, or if you have young children. Finally, leather is durable and always in style, so replacing your couch every few years won’t be necessary.

6. Leather Car Interior

One of the ways to increase the value of your car is by installing a leather interior. However, a better reason for having leather seats is they are easier to clean and maintain. Plus, after a while fabric seats fade from sunlight and begin to smell if they are not taken care of properly. Most importantly, leather seats are perfect if you have an animal that sheds since you only need to wipe the seats clean, whereas fabric seats require vacuuming and spraying with harsh chemicals.

7. Leather Gloves

Leather gloves are the ultimate winter accessory. I prefer leather gloves to any other type of glove because leather gloves have a sleeker, chic look, whereas fabric gloves can look juvenile and winter gloves are bulky. Another reason why I prefer leather gloves is because of their durability – fabric gloves usually need to be replaced every winter, sometimes even more than once during the same winter. In addition, winter gloves start to fray or get holes in them. Finally, I recommend leather gloves because you can wear them to work as well as to dinner after work!

I love leather products because I know I’m buying something of quality and prestige. Plus, leather products are timeless and classic, so it’s never out of style or tacky to be seen around with leather. What are some of your favourite leather products?

Boosting your metabolism through Yoga

Most people think of yoga as a stress reliever, but did you know that there are certain yoga poses to boost your metabolism too? That's right: there are certain yoga poses that are great for increasing your metabolism, helping you burn more calories throughout the day. Along with its relaxation and mood calming benefits, yoga can be a great weight loss tool as well. Try any of these 7 yoga poses to boost your metabolism today!

1. Forward Fold

All yoga poses to boost your metabolism have a few things in common and one of those certainly occurs in forward fold: anytime your heart is lifted or lowered above or beneath your head, your thyroid gland is stimulated. Your thyroid gland is actually the gland located in your throat that regulates your hormones. Since your head drops beneath your heart in forward fold, your metabolism is stimulated and starts burning like a well oiled machine!

2. Shoulder Stand

Shoulder stand provides a great stretch for your upper neck and back. In shoulder stand you also have to use your core muscles to hold your ankles directly over your shoulders. While it might be difficult to get into this pose as a beginner, by slowly working into this inversion, you will be doing wonders for your metabolism!

3. Plow Pose

Similar to shoulder stand, plow is an awesome inversion for boosting your metabolism. Since your heart is lifted above your head and your feet are dropping on the floor behind you, core and muscular strength are required for holding this pose. This is a great pose for improving circulation and for thyroid stimulation.

4. Bridge Pose

Bridge pose is my favorite pose for a full body inversion. With your hips pushed toward the sky, your chest and shoulders slowly open up. Again, since your heart is lifted above your head, your thyroid is being stimulated, waking up your metabolism. This is my favorite pose to work on muscular strength in my lower back. Love handles, no more!

5. Bow Pose

Bow pose is a great pose for opening up your chest and stretching out your back. This pose requires the use of not only your back muscles but your upper and lower body too, therefore, it increases your heart rate and metabolism too. I love this pose because it leaves you feeling open, strong and confident to face the challenges of the day!

6. Boat Pose

Boat pose is a great pose for strengthening your abdominal muscles, hip flexors and back muscles. This pose opens up your chest and elongates your neck, stimulating your thyroid gland, and thus metabolism, yet again - a little bit differently than the rest of the poses. Since this pose requires the use of so many different muscles, your heart rate will get a boost increase too!

7. Twisted Chair Pose

Twisted chair requires that you use not only balance but flexibility too. By twisting your entire upper body over your lower body, your internal organs are stimulated, wakening your digestive system. This pose requires the use of every muscle in your body, increasing your heart rate and boosting your metabolism.

As you can see, yoga does so much more than just relax you after a long day. Along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, consistent yoga practice is a great way to boost your metabolism and stay fit, healthy and happy! Have you ever thought of yoga as a weight loss tool? Will you now? I sure hope so! 

Stay beautiful....

Tips for keeping your nail paint last longer....

If you are wondering how to make nail polish stay on longer, then this is the article for you! Nobody wants to do their nails if they are going to have to deal with chips and dullness the very next day. They want to enjoy their beautiful nails! I’ve got seven little secrets to keep your nails looking just as glossy and gorgeous as they did the day you painted them. These are the secrets you have been searching for all that time you were wondering how to make nail polish stay on longer.

1. Clean Beforehand

Make sure you do all your heavy house cleaning before you do your nails! Your nails should be able to handle doing some dishes, but scrubbing bathtubs can wreak havoc on the best manicure. Take the time to get all of your heavy duty chores done before you do your nails. If you want to know how to make nail polish stay on longer, it all starts with doing your deeper cleaning chores beforehand.

2. Choose a Quality Polish

You cannot possibly expect your nail polish to be long lasting if you go to the dollar rack to purchase it. Every now and then you can get lucky, but I have always got my best results from purchasing a quality polish. A quality polish that is designed to give long lasting color is going to make my favorites list in a hurry. Don’t feel you have to rush out to the nearest nail salon; drugstores now carry some awesome brands. If you are unsure if a brand will give you quality results, read some reviews online.

3. Give Your Nails Two Coats

One coat of nail polish is too thin to have staying power and three coats gets you into layering, which isn’t pretty. Two coats is the perfect balance for your nail polish. Painting your nails with two coats also assures you that you won’t have a cheap see-through look to your manicure. Give your nails one coat and wait two minutes for the second. This is the rule of twos: two coats, two minutes apart.

4. Finish with a Top Coat

A top coat is an absolute must if you want your nail polish to last. A lot of women skip this step because they don’t recognize the importance of it. A top coat locks in your color, gives a protective shield to your nail polish and adds a shiny gloss that we all covet for our nails. Just like with your nail color, you want to purchase a quality brand. Also, don’t make the mistake of buying a clear nail polish and thinking it can double as a top coat; it can’t.

5. Give Your Nails a Chilly Dip

Most dings we get on our nails occur in the hour right after we paint them, when our nail polish is tacky and easily damaged. Dipping your nails in a cold bowl of water will help the nail polish harden and prevent this from happening. You want to wait until your nails are tacky for this step. This won’t benefit completely wet nails. A dip in some cold water can shave hours off of that time you must be overly cautious with your nails.

6. Watch The Exposure

You know, our nails are exposed to a lot of different things each day that we never think of. You might use products such as an exfoliating body wash, makeup or hair products. All of those products can scuff or dull your nail polish. You can still use all of those when your nails are done, but do so carefully. One trick I use is put the hand not holding the hairspray can behind my back so it doesn’t catch the excess spray.

7. Guard Your Nails Carefully

Nails are not tools. Sometimes, we are tempted to think that they are because they are so convenient to use, and they work. We often use our nails to pry things open or apart when there is another perfectly good way to accomplish the task. Take the time to retrieve a tool or ask someone else to help you. If you take care of your nail polish then you will be rewarded with a long lasting manicure that will be the envy of all your friends.

Manicures are the finishing touch to make you look totally put together. A manicure lets others know that you value yourself and want look your best, but is no good if your nail polish doesn’t last. What are some tips you have to keep your polish looking awesome and freshly painted?

The tiger print or snake skin or crocodile design have always been in vogue and a fashion seekers delight... So have incorporated it in nail design as well with this stylish art.

Paint the ring finger with a nude or any light shade. I recomend a golden glitter since its the most classy tone and goes well in all occasions and all dress types

Design with the same glittering gold in the pink nails as shown

To design the tiger make pink spots randomly with brush and then black spots around pink ones like shown below to get the same effect of tiger skin..

Secure the design for long by applying a transparent nail paint to avoid chipping off soon.

Hair Growth Booster 💁

Hey chics!! This time i have come up discussing the most important trouble in a girl's life.... Hair fall....OMG....I know I’m not the first girl who’s spent way too much time Googling ways to grow your hair quickly! We’ve all been there, and after spending too much time researching this I can honestly give you some foolproof ways to grow your hair quickly. Whether it’s by taking a few vitamins everyday, or something as simple as eating protein, it is super easy to grow your hair quickly! I promise you that you will see results; they are my go-to ways to grow my hair. 

1. Folic Acid Vitamins

 Citrus fruits (such as oranges and lemons) and leafy vegetables (like spinach) are amazing sources of folic acid! In my opinion, this is one of the easiest ways to grow your hair quickly!

2. Drink Water

Staying hydrated sounds easy enough, but sometimes life gets busy and you forget to get your 64 ounces a day. Drinking the appropriate amount of water everyday obviously has many benefits. However, in terms of your hair, the more water you drink the healthier your hair will be, and that means it will grow faster! It’s an easy tip that will not only benefit your hair, but your body as a whole!

3. Stay Away from Heat

This one is tricky depending on your hair type. I’m lucky enough to have a hair type that allows me to go almost completely heat-free, but if you have a different hair type this may not be as easy for you. If you are able to, let your hair air-dry, and don’t flatiron or curl it. The less heat you put on your hair, the less it breaks and damages your hair, leading to healthier hair that grows faster.

4. Protein Is Key

Eating protein is essential when it comes to growing your hair as quickly as possible... Protein is necessary for healthy and long hair growth. The more you eat, the faster your hair will grow. You may even be getting a good amount of protein already! Turkey, chicken, fish and cheese are all great sources of protein that you may already eat regularly!

5. Scalp Massages

You don’t need to go anywhere fancy or pay a lot of money for scalp massages. You can, but you don’t need to. Simply taking five minutes out of your day everyday to massage your scalp will stimulate your hair follicles and help your hair grow. It seems too easy, but it really does help.

6. Don’t Pull Your Hair Back

The more you wear your hair pulled back, the more hair you pull out and break. Wearing your hair pulled back too much leads to damage and breakage and only hurts, not helps, hair growth. Wear your hair pulled back in moderation, not excessively; it’s not helping you grow your hair!

7. Excessive Brushing

Try to stick to brushing your hair once or twice a day. Anything more than that is excessive and will also pull your hair out. Sometimes it may feel like brushing your hair is helping your hair’s health, but in excessive amounts brushing damages it. Be careful! 

There are a ton of easy ways to grow your hair quickly! You may already even do some of them without realizing it! What are your go-to tricks for growing your hair quickly? Let me know in the comments! I’m always looking for new tips!

Stay stylish & glowing,

Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hot Nail Shades for the upcoming Winters

Hello gorgeous chicks!! With the fall season already in session, we finally get the chance to layer up our looks and sport trendy nail polish colors on a darker spectrum. Although you are never limited to only a set of specific colors for each season, personally I always gravitate toward deeper and warmer colors during fall. It might be due to a colder climate and gloomier atmosphere, but nevertheless it’s an opportunity to switch nail looks and explore the darker side of me. Here are 7 trendy nail polish colors that you’ll enjoy sporting for fall.

1. Good Old Black

Ninety precent of the time you’ll catch me wearing black nail polish no matter what season it is, but for some reason fall is really the time when I wear it more frequently. It just looks really edgy and it is a perfect color for fall. One of the most recent trends that I have been noticing among celebrities is that they tend to rock the matte black nail polishes, which look equally as daring and unique! Black is one of the trendy nail polish colors you’ll keep seeing during the fall.

2. Milky White

Nothing looks classier on your nails than milky white nail polish! It automatically makes your nails appear well cared for and elegant. Although milky nail colors were also big on runways in 2012, it seems like they are here to stay. There is a wide variety of light milky colors on the market so it is just a matter of you finding the best shade that complements your skin color!

3. Blood Red

Red nail polish is a classic that is always in style. It suits every skin color and every age group. There are so many shades of red available to us that every person can find their ideal color as long as they keep searching. One of my favorite shades is more of a blood red color, which is perfect for fall. It really stands out without being ‘too in your face.’

4. Rose Gold

I was recently watching a YouTube guru and I noticed that she had the most stunning nail polish color on. It was a rose gold nail polish that wasn’t too shimmery but still shiny in the light. I still don’t understand why I haven’t tried colors similar to rose gold, but this season I am determined to add this color to my collection.

5. Burgundy

Burgundy is THE color to sport during the colder seasons. It’s rich, deep and it goes well with anything. What I have also noticed with dark nail polishes is that they are very convenient to use if you are in a rush. They tend to conceal any uneven strokes or mess-ups, allowing you to still achieve a perfect look without going to a salon.

6. Army Green

Army green is another polish color that is perfect for fall. I used to shy away from any dirty green nail polishes because I was afraid that it would look like throw up. However, I have learned that any color can look attractive on nails as long as you find a shade of it that goes well with your skin color. So don’t restrict yourself to only a few basic colors and reach out for more unconventional and daring shades.

7. Deep Navy

One of my all time favorite nail polishes is deep navy. No matter if it’s shiny, matte or glossy, it never seems to disappoint me. Navy goes well with ultimately any skin color and it really puts the accent on your hands. Navy nail polishes are especially prevalent during fall and winter so if you don’t have a bottle of it already, it’s time to finally purchase it!

Fall is the most appropriate time to rock nail polishes that are bright but still lean more toward the darker and warmer colors, but hey, no one will judge you if you feel like rocking a neon yellow or hot pink. What are your favorite nail polish colors to wear during fall??? Reply your tones on chestapunjabi@ymail.com

7 Amazingly EffectivTips on Prepping Your Skin for Winter ...

Prepping your skin for winter is going to be easy peasy this year because I’ve got seven helpful tips on how you can prepare your skin from the fall to winter. Even if you’ve never changed your skin care routine according to changes in the seasons in the past, it’s never too late to start and your skin will really appreciate it! Let’s get right into these 7 amazingly effective tips on prepping your skin for winter.

1. Start Switching Formulas

One of the top tips in prepping your skin for winter is going to be to switch formulas in your skin care regimen. You don’t have drop everything and invest in all new skin care products right this minute, but think about switching your lightweight formulas to thicker ones. Depending on where you live and your skin type, some people are able to get away with using the same skin care products all year long. I’m not that lucky so I need to start buying thicker creams for my body and face.

2. Don’t Stop The Sunscreen

Just because the weather gets cooler doesn’t mean you get to take a break from sunscreen. If you aren’t currently in the habit of wearing sunscreen all year long, it’s time to start! Even if the skies are gray, our skin still needs the protection, so it’s best to permanently incorporate sunscreen into your skin care routine. If you ski or are outdoors a lot, make sure you use a minimum of SPF 30. Don’t forget to look for SPF when you buy lip balm, too!

3. Exfoliate

Exfoliating is another skin care tip that might sound played out but it’s because it’s just that important. Whether you’re applying self-tanner, shaving or just wanting softer, smoother skin, it’s all about the exfoliation, baby. Exfoliating your skin will help you get rid of dry, flaky skin and keep your stems looking top-notch for those dresses and skirts. Make sure you make or buy an exfoliator for your lips, also.

4. Wear Gloves

If you live in some of the colder areas of the country, start wearing gloves outdoors. Dermatologist Deborah Sarnoff recommends wearing gloves now so you avoid any minor chapping on the hands, which can turn into fissures that can get infected. Once skin gets infected, applying lotion can burn, so you end up forgoing moisturizer and the vicious cycle starts.

5. Layer Your Skin Care

Another tip in winter skin care is to layer your skin care products. Try using a serum or face oil to create a barrier between the elements and your skin and help skin appear smoother and more hydrated. Apply a moisturizer on top and you should be good to go! You can do the same for your body care; simply use a body oil and apply lotion on top.

6. Use a Humidifier

If you’re like most people and crank up the heat when it gets cold, consider buying a humidifier. Using a humidifier can help your skin and lips from drying out by dispersing moisture back into the air. Humidifiers can help keep your nasal passages moist, which is helpful when you have a cold, allergies or get a bloody nose. They’re also said to help with snoring by keeping the throat moist, so if you or your partner snores, a humidifier could be helpful!

7. Moisturize More

Since the winter weather can really do a number on your skin, make it a habit to moisturize more often this time of year. This is especially important if you’re planning on traveling to a cold area or plan on flying frequently. Keep skin hydrated on the go by using a rose water mist or Evian mist and drinking plenty of water..

Enjoy the winter chiliness & hope my tips help you keep glowing & maintain your blush... Love u gorgeous ....XOXOxOXO

Styling your LBD

No closet is complete without a fabulous little black number, but if you’re looking for new ways to wear a black dress, you’ve come to the right place. Black is a neutral color that looks great with a variety of other outfit choices, so you’re sure to find a new look or two that you’ll turn to all the time. The only problem is, with so many ways to wear a black dress, you might have a hard time picking which one to try first. 

1. With Lots of Jewelry

 
Bling looks awesome against the backdrop of a little black dress. Next time you’re headed out a slinky dress, pile on necklaces, bracelets and fancy earrings. Silver and gold are go-to options, but don’t stop there. There are plenty of ways to ramp things up by wearing pink, turquoise, lime green and yellow. Mix and match the colors to create new and different looks every time you wear your favorite black dress.

2. With Boots

 
Maybe you always throw on a pair of heels with your black dress, but it might be time to branch out to a new look. Pair your favorite with a pair of tall boots with spiky heels. Black is a classic choice, but red, purple and blue look great with a black dress too. Wearing boots with your dress means you can carry it into winter by tossing on a pair of tights for warmth.

3. With a Jacket

 
No, I’m not talking about a rain jacket or slicker. I’m talking about a fitted little jacket. Try one made from denim for a semi-casual look or go all out with a custom-made blazer in a bright jewel tone, such as emerald or purple. This is a great way to wear a black dress to work without looking inappropriate or like you’re headed straight to the club at quitting time. A soft leather jacket is another fun idea.

4. With a Belt

 
To accentuate your curves, wrap a belt around your little black dress. Choose one in black for a seamless and classic look. Or, go ahead and choose red, bright blue or pink to add a little pizzazz to your favorite black dress. Chain belts are a fun way to add personality to your dress too. Simply drape it at your hips and watch the heads turn.

5. With a Wrap

 
If you want to move more freely than you can in a jacket, opt for a wrap, like a shawl or pashmina to dress up your black dress. Choose one in black if warmth is your goal or pick one out that has a classy pattern or bright color to create a look you won’t see on anyone else.

6. With a Headband

 
A headband is a fun and modern way to add oomph to your little black dress, but still look different from all the other girls in town. Try one with a demure silk or felt flower. Try one that wraps around your head with a feather in back, a la the 1920s, if you’re headed to a cocktail party. A plain, but sparkly, headband is ideal for a dinner party or work event.

7. With a Scarf

 
Nothing says chic like a great scarf. And it adds that little something extra to your black dress. For work, try one with a small pattern, such as flowers or plaid. If you’re headed out on the town, go for something in bold, punchy colors or patterns to make your look one that will leave everyone talking. 

I love my black dress. I wear it to so many events, I might need to invest in a new one. Where do you wear your favorite black dress? Do you make it fancy or stay with a minimal look?

Hope u love this article. And ur suggestions are always welcome....

Be stylish....XOXOXOXO

Love rings✨

Love is in the air... Winters are approaching so time to get cosy with your love......My love for nail designing inspired me to make a cute & sassy art to make you blush this winter.. Love rings💅

We start off with applying the base coat... I use glitter since i am in love with it....

 

Use a red/ pink nail colour to make stripes... ( i make this art only on the ring fingers) Can use a brush or with art brush or colour pen... Works well every way...

Once when the stripes are done; paint a heart with brush or pen with black colour to highlight and look elegant.... Leave it to dry.... Apply transparent top coat on all nails for long sustain..

This art goes well on all routine & occasions and on all outfits.....

Hope you liked it... Keep painting...XOXOXO
