Childhood is a really precious time where a baby learns a lot about the world and his surroundings.
 It is also special for all the people who are involved with the baby in some or the other way for it provides a storehouse of special memories which can be cherished later on in life. As with everything good time flies by and he/she is no more your little baby hence I recommend that you get a baby portrait done to treasure all the good moments that you have had in your life.

A Baby Portrait for some Golden Memories

A Baby Portrait for some Golden Memories

Being mother is a true blessing . The moment i came to know that i am pregnant ,I can't even explain my feeling in words. The moment was very precious . From the day one of my pregnancy ,i was waiting for my baby soul to hold on my hand ,to see in-front of my eyes. I was literally counting every single day . Now I am pregnant with my second kid but the feelings of the #FirstTimeMom is very different and special.

Then the day came and I delivered my little soul . That day was the best day ever. Finally I held my little bundle of joy . The funny thing was ,i was looking at him continuously for hours and can't make myself believe that i have become a mom . The feeling and the experience is beyond happiness. I was eagerly waiting for, when he will also looking at me ,recognize me as his mom and will smile at my me . I know i am sounding crazy but i was like that in that point of time. Then after becoming 2 and 1/2 months he started staring at everyone and started giving tiny smiles and i was like in seventh heaven . Sometimes there were happy tears in my eyes. I couldn't thank enough to GOD for this . By looking at his naughty smiles , I always forget my whole day tired . When I got angry by his naughty tantrums , sleepless nights , continuous feeding , he always gave his baby innocent smiles to me and I completely forgot my anger within seconds. Even now when he has become a toddler , my anger couldn't sustain in-front of his smile. My husband sometimes called me crazy for this .



The baby is always very precious of a mom .His happiness ,his needs are always the first priority for the mom. During the initial days babies do fall sick very often as their body try to cope up with the outer world. We parents always feel helpless by seeing our baby in trouble ,isn't it ? When my son was only 6 months old ,he got  serious diaper-rash issue. Our pediatrician told that the reason was heavily use of wet wipes which was very surprising for us. He suggested us to switch to cotton and water instead of wet wipes and it worked too that time. I was shocked by knowing that the wipes are all polyester and has full with chemicals ,alcohol,etc. That time there was no options for cotton and water based wipes . Recently few months earlier i came across a brand Mothersparsh which has water based wet wipes for babies . I got for myself to test out first before suggesting to anybody and loving it completely .

About #FirstWaterWipes by Mothersparsh :

The brand Mother sparsh has come up with the first water based wipes which are extremely comfortable and gentle for baby's sensitive delicate skin. Mother sparsh wipes are made up of plant based material which is 100% biodegradable.  These wipes has 98% water content which makes it as good as cotton and water.  As there is no polyester and harm chemicals, these are so gentle on baby's delicate skin.  The wipes have goodness of aloe vera, jojoba oil and vitamin E which moisturised baby's skin and keeps hydrated.  After wiping the baby's skin it doesn't feels dry or sticky  at all rather it feels silky and smooth. To prove the purity of the mother sparsh wipes ,you can do a flame test . With a flame test it burns like cotton and becomes ash where as polyester based wipes become lumps after burning .

Price - Rs 175/- for 80 wipes


As the mother sparsh wipes has no polyester in them, hence these also very much environmental friendly.  There is no artificial fragrance in these wipes. There is no alcohol and other harsh chemicals, hence baby's skin will not get any allergies or skin irritations with regular uses .

I love the feeling of cold winter but my skin doesn't. During winter the humidity level in air is very low and the cold wind takes away the natural oil from skin and makes it dry and flaky . Dry ,crack skin is more prone to bacteria and it can be worse by getting itching or eczema . It is always necessary to take proper prevention beforehand . Today in this post I am going share about 10 essential tips which you should follow to lock down the natural glow in skin . So let's start..


1. Use Lukewarm Water : 



Taking hot water bath during winter is very relaxing and a pure bliss. But hot water takes away the moisture from skin and can make it further drier and rough. Instead of hot water ,use lukewarm water for your bath . Even do use lukewarm water for washing your face and hand . After bath ,never ever forget to apply a good layer of moisturiser when your body is still wet. Always choose a moisturiser with hyaluronic acid and ceramides in it.

2 - Keep Body Hydrated :


It is very important to stay hydrated during winter by drinking water in regular intervals. Normally during winter we don't feel thirsty very often but in-spite of that drinking water is very necessary. The dry weather evaporates the water content from body easily, hence having water ,juices,fruits are very important. It also maintains the natural glow on skin.

3- Choose Skincare Products Accordingly :


Always choose skincare products according to your skin type. Following the CTM routine regularly is very necessary. During winter ,sometimes skin behaves sensitive ,hence using of mild skincare products is advisable . Choose cleanser which has moisturiser in it ,hence you won't feel dryness after wash . For acne prone skin choose products with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin , hydration serum in it to maintain the pH of skin . Avoid using alcohol based products as it will make your skin further drier .

4- Don't Exfoliate Skin Much :

Exfoliation helps to remove the dead skin cells from skin and it is also an important step of any skincare regimen. But during winter , as the skin is already dry ,you shouldn't exfoliate more than once a week otherwise the outer moisture barrier of skin will damage more . If you have very dry skin type ,then avoid exfoliating completely and for normal to oily skin it is advisable to exfoliate once a week .

5- Protect Skin :

Protect skin from cold wind or snow is very important. Sun rays feels awesome during winter but UV rays can damage skin more. Apply sunscreen which has titanium oxide or zinc oxide. Another important thing is avoid going out with damped skin or immediate after shower as this might cause skin cracks easily in cold.

6- Don't Neglect Your Hands And Feet :


 We normally forget about our hands and feet to take care of during any season. The skin of hands is very thin and delicate as compare to skin of other body parts. Hence it tends to loose its moisture very easily and prone to dryness and itchiness . We should apply a heavy duty moisturizer or hand cream in regular intervals . Don't forget to wear gloves while stepping out during winter for extra protection. For feet ,exfoliation is a must to remove extra dead cells .Apply glycerin or petroleum jelly  based creams on feet to lock the moisture .

7- Choose Natural Skincare Products :

It's always good to go with natural skincare products over the chemical loaded ones. Honey, jojoba oil, banana, aloevera, avocado oil are really good for skin.You can also include essential oils into your skincare regimen.

8- Sunglasses :

Sunglasses are must during stepping out. Snow and sun rays can damage the skin around eyes which cause dark circles too. Wear a good UV protected sunglasses to avoid the skin damage around eyes.

9- Diet :


Taking a proper nutritious diet plays an important role in healthy looking skin. Eat seasonal fruits and vegetables ,  Berries are full of nutrients and vitamins . You can have strawberry, cherry,blueberry, grapes, raspberry ,etc. Having water, juices, soups, green veggies is a good decision during cold weather to boost up the energy.

10- Exercise :


 Like proper diet,exercise is also very important . Exercise or yoga makes body sweat and improves blood flow to the organs and skin. It detoxify skin and makes you feel healthy and glow-y  from inside and outside as well.

So all these are the tips you should follow to get a healthy looking skin during winter. I know that it's a bit difficult to follow all the tips in one go but if you follow maximum of these ,the result will be awesome and you will definitely gonna thanks me later.

That's all for today's post. See you in the next post ,till then stay hooked..

Heya girlzzz. . By now you guys must have known that I am a lipstick addict person . I love collecting lipsticks from different brands.  To be very honest, I always think twice or thrice before investing in any high end brand lipsticks but if the price is under budget, then I don't think much.  The only thing matters me is the formula of the lipstick because I have really dry lips and the humid weather of my city makes it more drier.  I love matte lipsticks but for dry lips it is too much to do beforehand to get a nice pout perfect lips look.


Recently Nykaa has launched their new range of lipsticks which named Ultra Matte Lipsticks.  According to the brand these are the liquid lipsticks formula in bullet form. All the shades are richly pigmented and smooth to apply on lips.  Water proof and transferproof and stays long hours without fading. There are 10 shades in this range.  All the shades named after the great women around the world which I completely appreciate.




I have the shades Diana and Marilyn with me.  There are nudes,  pinks,  mauve and red shades in this range.  I have really very high expectations from this range by Nykaa.  Let's see how these fair to the claims..

Price - Rs449/-
Available on Nykaa. 


Packaging - The lipsticks has colour coded packaging which is a good thing. The cap of the bullet has magnetic closure . The square packaging of the lipstick makes this look classy and chic. The bullet has lipstick name at its bottom . There is also outer cardboard box which has all necessary information regarding the products.


I love the lipsticks names of the ultramatte lipsticks. Nykaa has put the names after the super women around the world. Among the 10 shades i got Diana and Marilyn shades which are obviously very beautiful.


 The shade Diana is a very pretty mauve shade with warm pink undertone. It is more towards the warmer tone side and i personally love warm-tone lipsticks, hence i picked up this shade. Marilyn is a beautiful warm tone red shade . I am a big fan of red shades lipsticks because i found red shades always lift up my mood and complexion too.


The texture of these ultra-matte lipsticks are creamy and soft . These glides on lips very smoothly without tugging and pulling . After few seconds of applying these set into a matte finish look. Though these lipsticks are very lightweight and non-drying on lips ,but you have to prep your lips beforehand to get a smooth base. Both the shades are really pigmented. They gives perfect colour in just one swipe and you can swipe twice to get a opaque look. I am really impressed by the pigmentation abilty of these lipsticks. There is no shimmer or shin in these lipsticks ,these are pure matte ones.

Though the brand is claiming that these shades are transfer-proof but in real these are not completely. The colour transfers into things but it won't affect the colour on lips ,hence i won't mind. These are not complete water-proof as well. After having heavy lunch or oily food ,you will definitely need a touch-up . These stay on my lips around 5-6hours.



I love both the shades. Diana is my go-to shade right now. I almost wear it every single day while stepping out. I will try out 2-3 more shades from this range for sure. I will recommend everyone to try out the shades Diana , Marilyn to try out. I am going to buy Helen and Cleopatra shade next.. Nykaa is coming some of the awesome collections day by day which is amazing. Now enjoy the lip swatches..

Today I am going to talk about the Stay Quirky liquid lipsticks and I will also share the swatches of one of those.  I have bought quite few stuffs from the brand Stay Quirky (you might have seen my video HERE) . I had promised their to review the stuffs, so here I am with the liquid lipstick review first.  I have the shade ' Can I Borrow a Kiss' with me, yes it's the shade name...

Stay Quirky is a brand which makes good quality makeup products which are toxicity free and all vegan.  I love their nail polishes range and now when I saw their makeup range, I can't control my excitement.  By the way this brand is available in purplle.com . You can grab anytime with a great deal.  So let's straight jump into the review.


Price - Rs449/- 
Available on Purplle.com



I am in love with the packaging to be very honest. It comes with a tiny see through tube packaging which is very handy and easy to carry in purse too. The packaging is almost similar to the nykaa liquid lipsticks packaging. The applicator is small but keeps a good hold while applying. The due foot wand is a little bend to one side which is again makes the application easier. The applicator carries a good quantity of product in one go ,hence you don't need to dip the brush again and again.. the lipstick comes inside a cardboard box which has all information regarding the product. at the bottom of the lipstick you will find the shade name with colour coded label . Overall i love the whole packaging.

Baby's health is the utmost priority of any mother. It is really painful to see your baby in pain and being a mom of a toddler  I can totally related to the situation. Babies can't speak but they do express their feeling through laugh and cry.  When the baby is happy we can easily locate that but when the baby is crying, it is really difficult to understand what is actually the issue.  There are lots of things happen when a baby arrives and it continues till a certain age of 4-5years.


During the initial months diper rash is a very common issue happens to all babies around here and it is also easily curable , not a big deal . But do we ever think what is the actual reason behind the diper rashes on baby ? We usually blame the dipers we are using.  It is very important to remove the wet dipers in regular time intervals and clean the area, powder and allow the skin to breath fresh air to avoid rashes at those private areas of baby.  Along with that we should educate ourselves in choosing right baby wipes. Yes,  baby wipes are also takes a major role in creating diper rash.



Initially our moms and grandmoms were using warm water and cloth to clean baby's skin which is quite ok-ish , but this was also not the right way to clean and protect skin from bacteria.  Then we started using wet wipes which are very handy of course  and easy to use as well.  But again these are not safe in the other hand.  The polyester fabric of the wipes and the chemicals in it can cause really harm to baby's delicate skin. Most of the wipes has alcohol and other harm chemicals which cause skin irritation and allergies which ends up to rashes.


Recently I came across a brand Mothersparsh which is India's first water based wipes brand.  There are 98% water in those wipes and made up of viscos material (a fibre derived from wood pulp) which is extremely gentle on skin and as good as cotton and water.  The mothersparsh wipes are 100% biodegradable. These wipes has goodness of aloevera, jojoba oil, vitamin E which keeps skin hydrated and helps to maintain the pH level and doesn't dry out skin at all . The mothersparsh wipes are hypoallergenic and clinically tested and don't have any kind of harm chemicals. There is no artificial fragrance in these wipes. There is no alcohol and paraben which is another good thing. These are so gentle on baby's sensitive skin and not cause any allergies or rashes.


Price - Rs 175/-
Available on Amazon .

I personally use this for my son, hence I can vouch for it. We should understand that, it is not right to always blame to the diapers but we should consider to change the regular wipes with Mothersparsh water based wipes.  After all our baby is our responsibility and we should give our best to our little bundle of joy.

Hope you found this post helpful. See you in the next post, till then stay hooked.

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey and we should enjoy every bit of it . Giving birth a new life is not a simple task at all.  After getting the good news you have to go through lots of changes in body, mind and life as well and one should prepare for that before planning to move towards motherhood.  You shouldn't worry about the mood swings and also not worry about the extra kilos you are going to put on. During my first pregnancy, the one thing which used to come to my mind that, I should live these moment because these will not come again.

Xoxo.😊
