Mango Breakfast Facial

Mango being the king of all fruits, does not only taste amazing but also has beauty benefits. Few months more and mangoes will no longer be available so let us make full use of this delicious fruit now!

I am not much into diy, I only indulge in homemade stuff when I actually find the diy procedure to be simple and very effective.

Mangoes are high in Vitamin A & C, which make it a power house rich in anti oxidants. This means mangoes impart younger looking skin, and thus prevents ageing.

Why is the word 'breakfast' added to the name of this facial? Simply because it includes almonds,oats and milk!

I like using raw milk as it has so many benefits which arent destroyed by boiling. It contains lactic acid and has various kinds of healing and skin lightening properties. Oats and almonds are excellent for exfoliation.

Aztec Print Attraction: How to Style & Mobile Cover

Hello all you beautiful people. Today I am going to talk about my love affair with 'Aztec Prints' in the fashion world. There is something about the geometric designs and the color combination which makes me love the print so much. Aztec Fashion is inspired from the Azetc people, who belonged to ethnic groups of central Mexico.

How to style?

The Aztec Print is somewhat loud, so i prefer to style it with nuetral colors and keep low on the accessories. I stick to solid colors which compliment the print. Also I dont go 'all bling' with this print as i want the beautiful Aztec Print to draw everyones attention.
I have an Aztec print dress from Myntra that I love. See how I style it HERE

Summer Outfit: Cuteness Personified

Shorts and tank tops scream summer to me. I prefer loose-fitted comfortable clothes in summer so that my skin can breathe. When it comes to colors I like indulging in bright oranges and pinks. I have never come across a pair of shorts and tank top combo that looked cuter than the illustration below-

Embrace this summer with a pair of denim cut offs, team it up with a bright bow back tank and nude shades. The bow back tank top is my favourite. It is super easy to create, however, let me know if want a diy. To add to the look go for a cute pair of black (kitten) flats. 

 

 

kohlcrush tip: try to tie your hair up with this cute bow back top so that the 'bow' can be seen and appreciated by others. The bow is an eye candy and so one does not need any added accessories!
