How To Dress For An Interview

  • Want to play it safe by avoiding make up totally? Na ah!  The employer may think that you are in the edge of an emotional breakdown or under depression. Dont totally avoid make up.
  • Blush is not meant for a professional interview. Try to avoid it as much as possible. If required, use soft hues of natural pink.
  • In case of eye make up, Use  a mascara to open up your eye and give a thin line using eye liner for the lower eye. This is more than enough for an interview.
  • Keep Your piercings away - If you have a number of piercings, keep them away when you are getting ready to attend an interview.
  • Be careful about what you wear- this is the most important of all. If you are taking an interview for a professional , post dress professionally. Minis and little dresses are not meant for interview

How To Prevent Acnes


Acnes are often nightmares… Not only for teens but for all age groups. It can be embarrassing when you are going out on a date or have an important official meeting.Here are some useful tips to help you fight them back:

 Clean your face -  keeping your skin clean and clear so as to ensure you don’t have dirt stuck in your pores is important whether you have acne or not.Use a gentle cleanser ( a anti acne face wash will be good avoid harsh deodorant soaps)

Use a moisturizer - Use a moisturizer that prevents skin drying and peeling.  If you have oily skin ,use gel moisturizer and if you have dry skin, use moisturizing lotion.

Keep a watch on what you put on your hair - some fragrance oils and chemicals used on hair can cause skin irritation and thus acnes. Always stick to a gentle shampoo and conditioner.

Eat healthy – avoid too oily and fries foods. Drink plenty of water as its vital for fleshing out toxins off your body. Also avoid junk foods as they have an adverse affect on your skin ( and of course weight!) Recent studies show that taking foods rich in vitamin A and Beta Carotene can help build a beautiful skin.

Exercise daily – Exercising not only helps in maintaining shape and having a sound body, the more you sweat the more cleaner your skin pores get.

Don’t pop or sqeeze your pimples – you probably would have heard this like a million times and you know you should keep your hands off your pimples. But often to get rid of visible acne you tend to pop them. This increases the risk of acnes coming back again along with leaving scares.

Use minimal make up – try to avoid foundations. If you have to use it make sure that you wash it off at the end of the day.

Beware of sun  - every time you step out, use a good quality sunscreen ( the ones you get from a drug store are the best) Make sure you buy a sunscreen which suits your skin type. Re apply during the day if you are out to protect your skin from sun

How To Prevent Pain From Heels


High heels…the most common and integral part of every women’s wardrobe. We do love the way classy high heels make us look. Tall, modern and  of course  sexy. But the health problems associated with heels are never ending. We may see Angelina and Nicole kidman wearing 4  inch heels and running around in screen but it is not so easy in real life. Here are a few tips to avoid pain from heels-
  • Use an antiperspirant – even if your sole helps in reducing sweat and absorbing it,  a little bit of moisture in the air can cause the straps of your shoes or sandals to irritate and chafe  your skin. Thus resulting in blisters.
  • Most important of all, Buy shoes that fits! Even a a few extra pounds can alter your shoe size.
  • Buy leather shoes and avoid synthetic. Leather is more easygoing
  • Always buy shoes at evenings. Swelling can cause dramatic change in shoe sizes.
  • Avoid really high heels. If you use heels in your day to day life, don’t exceed your heels by 3 inch.
  • Wear a regular heel height. Unstable heel height can effect your Achilles tendon
  • Get a regular pedicure.
  • Stretch your toes in regular intervals. This helps improve blood circulation to your toes which are the poor bearers of your heels’ cruelty.
  • Core strengthening exercises will help calm down your feet after wearing heels 
  • Dip your feet in warm salted water for about ten mins. after that, gently massage your feet using a pain reliever (if you experience severe pain) or massage a moisturizing lotion to help your skin and feet be relieved of the stress from heels.
