Over a Cappuccino with

Sadhna Singh A National Fashion Model who had set fire on the ramp for more than 12 years now turned into a makeup artist shares her journey.

What had inspired you to become a Makeup artist by switching your career from Modeling?

After being a model for almost 12 plus years, I needed something more. But I didn’t know what it was that’s the time my three important people reminded me of what I am good at & told me to give it a try & see if this is what I want –MAKEUP. Since I always did my own makeup as a Model and understood the skill pretty well and here I am.

What is your dream to work for?

Someday start my makeup brand and of course, learn all kinds of makeup from the best of the best artist in the country What is a typical day like in your life?

Shoot - home - sleep - repeat ;-) What does it take to be successful in the field you excel in?

What do you in your free time?

Meet up my friends for lunch mostly or watch a lot of series on tv and spend time with my plants and My baby Daisy Tell us a funny incident which happened to you?

I have realised I have waved at random people at airports and malls assuming they are my friend (clearly when I wasn’t wearing my specs it is so embarrassing I can’t even express haha.

Another incident I can remember is - my last show as a model was two and half years ago for Tarun Tahiliani which my BFF, unfortunately, was present at- I say unfortunately because he saw me falling of five steps down. I have never fallen even at a fashion week or any show but I tripped n fell right in front of him at that show and he busted out laughing. Urghhh What inspires and motivates you?

Every time I do makeup for a bride or any client - the look on their face makes me happy and inspires me to be even better n give my best and be able to be good at my job. I work to be loved and respected How Covid has affected the industry and what are the ways one can evolve and deal with the situation?

Covid has definitely taken a toll on everyone.

It is very sad to read about how many have listed their job and business isn’t doing well.

The only way one can evolve with this phase of life is by not letting anything affect their mind n take this as a challenge and move ahead with more motivation power positive energy and NEVER GIVE UP attitude.

Rapid Fire If you are given a genie and have to make 2 wishes what will you wish for?

First, wish will be to be able to get a huge land where I could rescue all the stray animals and second wish will be to tell genie to change humans attitude towards every living being m be more giving n compassionate.

Are you a coffee or a tea person?

COFFEEEEEE ... I am having coffee while answering this Q&A too lol.

If you are paired opposite Salman Khan what will be the title of the movie?

Salman chalein sasural ( because he isn’t going to be Salman bhai to me in the movie clearly ) he will be my lover.

If you are left in a supermarket and asked to pick up only 3 things what would you pick?

5-star chocolate Surf excel Camphor (I am obsessed with good smell) or incense

The Elixir of Hyderabad There is poetry and fine sentiment, in a chest of Tea and that is the absolute truth for Hyderabadis. If you know the chai culture of Hyderabad, you know how important it is in our day-to-day lives. Before starting the day, after a day’s work or anywhere in between, there’s always time for some kadak chai to liven up the mood and conversation. Just as friendships are formed over a cup of tea, we’ve here for you a list of the best chai spots around and what snack goes along with it too!

- By Asna Abdul Haq

Chai Dukan

Chai Dukan in Banjara hills could be your new place to meet and catch up over tea, under a canopy of trees. The interiors are so welldesigned and quirky that you won’t stop taking pictures for the Gram! If one section of the wall is embraced by animated portraits, then the other is elegantly decorated with a typewriter and wall clocks. The outdoor section is where you want you be. Wooden benches under the trees, board games to play with the squad, along with some of the best varieties of tea.

Our favourite was the Strawberry Iced tea and along with it, a plate of hot and fresh Paneer Pakodas. This fusion of hot and cold turned out to be the best one we’ve ever tasted.

Chai Point

If you want to try an assortment of different Indian chais, the head over to Chai point.

Not only do they have the traditional Dum ki Chai, but also the classics like masala chai, ginger chai and lemon chai. Located in the Inorbit Mall, the place gives off cosy vibes and is a perfect corner to spend some me-time with your favourite book and some soul nourishing tea. The décor is made up of wooden accents along with comfortable seating.

Along with some good chai, they have some yummy snacks like parathas, samosas and sandwiches. We went with the classic pairing of adrak wali chai and aloo parathas, and needless to say that this pairing was delicious and refreshing.

Address: Inorbit Mall, Madhapur. Ph : 88801 41000

Niloufer Cafe

Located in Banjara hills, this branch of Niloufer Café has instantly become the new town favourite. In addition to their famous irani chai, they also have delicious coffees and milkshakes. To accompany your tea, there are numerous options like vegetable and paneers puffs, salt biscuits, Osmania biscuits, taste cakes, fresh breads and pista biscuits. They have a vast parking space up front, that makes it a drive-in café. Enjoy some gapshap with some delicious tea and biscuits in the safety of your cars. If you want to try something different yet authentic, go for their Irani chai and Brun Maska. The brun maska is absolutely divine, fresh buttered up buns with a sprinkle of sugar along with some of the best chai, will definitely be a good start to your weekend!

Chai Kahani

Those blissful evenings with your squad, over a cuppa and some tempting snacks, are the perfect ingredients for memorable times. Relive your days of nostalgia and brew new stories with your buddies at Chai Kahani, with several varieties of tea at a budget. The outdoor seating area is spread across the lawn with benches, and the indoor seating is simple and comfortable. Engulfed in greenery and sounds of students chatting away, Chai Kahani is a tea joint straight out of your college nostalgia books. The company of cute doggos make it even better. We had the almond rich almond tea along with pancakes, perfect for a peaceful evening. The tea was rich in taste and the pancakes were fluffy and delish.

Address: MCR HRD, Jubilee Hills. Ph : 98666 06706

Dostea

Dost and Tea, the best jodi you can find at a tea joint. Similarly, Dostea brings the best jodi of Tea and delish snacks like bun maska, pizzas, French fries and sandwiches. They serve they chais in a Kulhad, which make the experience all the more fun and memorable. The joint has an array of chai like Ginger tea, Kadak chai, Spl. Masala chai, Elaichi tea etc. The dĂŠcor is simple yet cute. The Kadak Asssam tea and sandwiches pair up really nicely for your fun evening food cravings.

Taiba Bakery and Café

CUISINE |

Hyderabadi tea culture is never complete without Irani chai and Osmania Biscuits, and everyone knows this. These two were made for each other. The richly prepared irani chai with soft, buttery Osmania biscuit will leave you in a peaceful trance. Some of the best chai and biscuit in the city can be found at Taiba Bakery and Café. The place is made traditionally like an Irani café with the option of enjoying your tea break either sitting down or standing up, along with your squad, with banter and quips. Though, the place offers salt biscuits, fine biscuits, puffs and samosas, our personal favourite is the Irani chai paired up with their buttery Osmania biscuits. If you’ve never tried this combo (which is hard to believe), you need to do that ASAP! Address: Masab Tank. Ph : 8142732786

Chai Pani Café

When was the last time you went out to enjoy delish chaat without having to be constantly worried about the hygiene? Well, here’s your chance to do exactly that. Chai Pani café at Jubilee hills serves lip smacking chat and amazing chai. The ambience is cosy, and the décor portrays historical monuments on the walls, corners decorated with antique radio, telephone and other collections. Totally Instagramable! The bustle is full of chai enthusiasts of the city and the air is filled with the tangy aroma of chaat. Though the place has some delectable namkeens and chaat, it also offers healthy organic teas like Jasmine, Rose Chamomile, Lemon Ginger etc.

And with the weather changing, nothing better than a hot cup of Organic Lemon Honey tea and Ginger biscuits to boost your immune systems. Though the taste is something different, it is definitely something you should try!

Draped in Elegance

S

arees is one of the riches of our tradition and culture. Be it down south or up north, every region and state have something unique to offer for our mutual love for sarees.

The nine-yard beauty is something all women hold close to their hearts. When we drape a saree around us, we don’t just drape a piece of cloth, but we also drape and immerse ourselves in centuries of tradition, emotional connect and elegance that comes along with it.

Have a look at these Boss Ladies, personifying grace and elegance with their looks!

- Asna Abdul Haq

Kanjeevaram

From the region of Kanjeevaram, comes the Silk Queen of Sarees. Traditionally woven from silk, this saree is rich in colour and texture. They define grace and elegance, all in one drape. No wonder the style icon of Bollywood, Rekha, always opts for this beauty. And nothing less will do for our dainty Indian classical dancer, Sandhya Raju, as she always looks beautiful and poised in an alluring Kanjeevaram saree.

Designer Drapes

Throughout India, saree is considered a quintessential garment, and so every region has its preferences in terms of fabric, design, style of draping and so on.

Many of these regional styles have been adapted by designers into innovative, cutting-edge patterns that express sensibilities of modern women. Hence, the introduction of Designer Sarees. With these tremendous varities, one can come up with infinite combinations of colors and patterns. Like here we see the ravishing Shilpa Shetty wearing a dazzling sequined saree with ruffles around the Pallu, creating a fusion of edgy and grace. Similarly, entrepreneur Anika Khara looks stunning in her exquisite designer looks, combining tradition, style and elegance in one drape, carrying the look ever so gracefully.

Phulkari

Phulkari is the darn stitching method which was earlier done on khaddar and cotton, but now is used to decorate and beautify any type of fabric. It’s known as the Rainbow Art from Punjab, as the illustrious handicraft is done with multiple-colored threads. Dia Mirza looks absolutely stunning in a simple cotton white saree with pastel phulkaris done on them.

Sizzling Silk

The Indian silk sarees are known for their lustrous beauty and incomparable grace. Though traditionally worn by Indian brides, silk sarees are now a popular choice for everyday wear, due to their aesthetic beauty and glamour. Shruti Haasan, here looks gorgeous in a golden brown Silk saree, with a poised fall of fabric, giving the outfit a flowy look. And our very own Sushmitha Bommidi, Celebrity stylist, looks dainty and exquisite in a shaded silk saree, that’s been embellished with intricate Zari thread work. Pairing the outfit with simple yet dainty gold jewelry completes the traditional look.

Zari Silk:

One of the reasons to stock up your wardrobe with traditional beauty is that it will never lose the charm and exquisiteness. Other reason being the intricate metallic threadwork that instantly elevates the look. The glistening zari work adds to the glamour and gives it a Royal touch, as it does to the ravishing Anushka Sharma. And though this saree is a good party wear, Celebrity stylist Shweta Malpani shows us how this saree can also be a worn comfortably around the home and still look chic, by pairing it with a statement neckpiece.

Our Fur Babies and their Buddies!

“I was clueless for a while that we had CasperD in my house as my brothers were trying to hide CasperD from our entire family because everyone was against a pet. And when I walked into my brother's room, where CasperD was sleeping on a pillow, he was so freaking cute (still is). We hid CasperD from our family for two days successfully until he started barking and we had to tell everyone about him, after some time we convinced everyone.

We used to let CasperD play in the hall so that everyone could see how cute and lovely he was- this plan worked to let everyone fall for him. CasperD is a Labrador, and he will be turning three on 25th February 2021. We still cannot believe this. I remember when he was a pup and was so frightened of the stairs that he used to bark continuously until one of us would hold him or help him climb down the stairs.

And now there is no stopping him. He is full of energy all the time. You can never sit still when he is around. He loves his bum massages, loves playing the tug of war with us, he loves his biscuit treats. The one thing I love about him is his patience and tolerance that is rare in animals. In short, he is a GOOFBALL, and we love him.”

Sushmita Singh, Student

“I adopted Sunny six months ago. Frankly, I feel I have known this fur ball forever.

After coming back from work, he is the best buddy to hang out with. One of these days, I took Sunny out for a long drive, and surprisingly, he loved it. We started sometime mid-day and got back home only late evening. I was intimidated a bit to take him out as taking a cat out is an alien concept to many, but he loved the free air and the car ride. It is one of my favourite day outs, and I really cannot wait to make more adventures with him together.”

Mohammed Minhaj Adnan, Social Media Manager at Siasat.com

“The ecstatic feeling of being in front of a large audience at her first performance at YouTube Funfest gave her the push to keep on pursuing this path." My family thought I wasn't serious when I said I wanted to be a social media influencer." says the Hyderabadi YouTube. Mahreen Syed is an engineering student. Apart from being well-known for her comedy content in Hyderabad, she is also an animal rescuer. She is currently taking care of more than 40 dogs. That is not all, she also feeds Birds including some Peacocks.

She has rescued more than 300 animals in distress and gets them vaccinated and sterilized. Mahreen is also the city head of being the real human foundation. She doesn't shy away from legal battles to ensure the safety of her four-legged friends. She aspires to use her popularity to raise awareness to create a world that is safe for her animal friends.”

Mehreen Syed, Influencer

“Snoopy and Casper are the two little brats I would not trade the world for. These two furballs of mine have consistently shown me how love can be unconditional and unbiased towards two lives at once. It warms my heart to see how Snoopy is protective of his younger sibling. Coming home to my babies snuggles and kisses after a mad day at college is the best feeling ever. These two munchkins know nothing but to indulge in a bit of mischief and show a lot of affection. I don’t know what I would do without these two lifelines of mine. In a nutshell, they are the representation of joy personified; or should I say dogified.”

SILVER LINING OF THE PANDEMIC The slightest transitioning in the daily- routine causes humans to be disturbed, there’s a switch in their behavior due to these changes. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the attitudes of humans in multiple ways; fear being the dominant emotion was followed by the feeling of sadness, we have observed several social media posts escalating these emotions. The pandemic has been worse for many of us. We have walked tiny steps to hold ourselves together, from self-care to being compassionate towards strangers!

Humans are often motivated to stay in a positive emotional state and interestingly: humans have developed a feeling of compassion amid the pandemic for strangers and; studies have indicated that the compassionate love for others increases the happy emotion and weakens the negative impact of fear in us.

While the pandemic has affected most of us with severe mental health issues, people have survived courageously and combated throughout discovering their interests and hobbies that have somehow seized in the hustle and bustle of the modernistic alley in city life!

With people uncovering the various ways to juggle through the pandemic, they have found contentment in discovering their interests and personal growth that has unconsciously fallen. People have also started prioritizing self-care habits and mindfulness activities such as volunteering, meditation, journaling, and exercising. It is not an easy task to stay positive constantly through difficult situations but mindfulness activities do partake in strengthening cognitive ability in all paths of life. Pandemic has made people uncertain about their plans and goals. But we all have fearlessly embraced this unpredictable period by exploring unique objectives that have metamorphosed our perspectives and, we have built dignity dauntlessly.

Pandemic’s Influence on the People When life seems bleak, there are things that we still have for which we should be grateful. One must always find the good in the bad. The pandemic was a blessing in disguise, people focused on mental health, they spent quality time with family and, fulfilled their hobbies, improvised their skills, they’ve started supporting local businesses and, also took care of themselves hygienically and physically. For me, it is an absolute boon; I got hired in the best company, and I have emphasized more on myself than ever, I’ve implemented new ideas for flourishing my business back. This way, I have evolved and explored. In the end, Corona has proved that everything around us is fleeting and taught us many lessons of valuing and being kind to each other. “In the rush to get back to normal, utilize this time to decide which part of normal are worth rushing back to”.

Nida Un Naser, Owner- Eleventh Urbane Coming back in March I thought I would be home for about a month and probably be back in Bangalore and back to usual college life, I had no idea I would be sitting making content and I’ve found containment in it for the next few months. (See what I did there). Boredom was the an inspiration for me to start creating content. Sitting at home I found inspiration in small things, like my parents scolding me to put out relatable content, I had no idea I would hit 10k followers within 6 months. My mother has been my only inspiration and I have seen her do so much for a society that I thought I could use social media and my active following to make an impact. I was overwhelmed at the fact that I could get around 1 lakh rupees which, I utilized to help people suffering during the lockdown.

Corona put us in unprecedented times but as my mom has always preached if you can do anything about the problem makes the most of it, so I started making jokes out of it. For me as a Hyderabadi, I felt the beautiful way we speak without filters should be out there and the aim was to portray our carefree culture in a not so lame way. People have found peace and containment in different ways, putting a smile on people’s faces during these times made me find a little bit of peace as well.

Farhaan Ahmed, Content Creator

All the plans were upside down as the pandemic hit, everything was uncertain and it was a difficult time throughout, the will to stay positive was lacking but eventually, I could push myself towards focusing on my well-being, and inculcate a positive attitude to make the most of it by indulging in activities that were kind of nostalgic to get back to like; playing badminton was one of them and I am glad that I could give extra time to physical strengthening as that helped me to a great extent in dealing with stress amid the pandemic and it did make me realize, this was a time to examine our self-capabilities and we can find richness in any damn thing - it depends on our perspective and attitude towards situations.

Hamza Mohammed (Aspiring Digital Marketer) Although the global pandemic took away our ‘normal life’ from us, I believe it also gave us a chance to unlearn and learn again the things we give value to, and the people we give priority to. I learned to feel liberated knowing that I don’t need all the things I thought I did. I learned to cook better; I learned to love better and to take care of myself and the ones I love around me better. I learned to be aware of the blessings in my life and the privileges that come with it. Most importantly, I learned to realize that everything I already have is more than enough than what I thought I needed.

Javeria Baig, Interior designer The COVID-19 pandemic did make me realize the importance of human or face-to-face interaction, and how we often undervalued it. I work on Hyderabad’s history most of the time, and it involves recording oral histories. It wasn’t until the pandemic that I realized how different it is when you talk to someone over the internet, as against meeting them in person.

I would not say the pandemic had a positive influence on me as such, but this was surely a life lesson for me. It has essentially made me a lot more sensitive when it comes to my work and just helps me give more attention to detail now.

Top Trending 2021 Perfumes

The most common fragrance categories are floral, fresh, woody, and oriental (or spicy). Upon first spritz, you’ll smell the top notes, which dissipate to reveal the heart notes and then the base notes, which last the longest on your skin. You’ll also want to make sure to smell the fragrance on your skin, as some scents differ from person to person because of their skin’s pH balance.

Whatever scent you settle on, you should never store your fragrance in the bathroom. Those hot showers increase the humidity in the air, which can damage perfumes. Exposure to bright light and heat can also ruin your scents. Instead, Burr recommends to stow it away in your fridge or a cool, dark place like a cabinet or sock drawer.

46 FEBRUARY, 2021 TULIP

For Men

Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum Luxury designer and filmmaker Tom Ford’s Black Orchid is a warm floral-woody fragrance with seductive top notes of black truffle and ylang-ylang alongside hints of bergamot and orange. It has heart notes of sweet black plum and black orchid extract and a woody base of patchouli and vanilla, and the brand suggests simply spraying (not rubbing) it onto your skin to ensure the scent develops as its makers intended. “It’s truly just an amazing fragrance [with] an extremely high diffusion and that is a specific aesthetic choice.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette

Burr maintains that Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue — not the “pour homme” version, he points out — is the superior formula.

“It’s not hugely expensive at all, there’s no niche premium added to it and it is absolutely amazing.

It’s a combination of three things: a beautiful lemon oil, a synthetic accord of a juicy tart fresh green apple, and a wonderful warm accord of cedars.”

Hermès Terre d’Hermès Eau de Toilette

Concocted by the previously aforementioned Ellena, this earthy and woody eau de toilette by luxury French house Hermès boasts notes of grapefruit, black peppers, and flint (which brings a mineral scent).

Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne If you prefer fruity fragrances, try Jo Malone’s Lime Basil & Mandarin cologne, says Burr. “Everybody has it, but the reason is [because] it’s terrific.” It’s reminiscent of the Caribbean breeze with notes of peppery basil, white thyme, and limes.

Christian Dior Sauvage

The vibe is outlaw-meetspoet and the mood is untamed sensuality. Sauvage evokes a combination of raw masculine power and a fresh and playful sweetness. The fragrance greets you with juicy bergamot and pepper-strong and unapologetic. Next comes the ambroxan, woody and musky. Hitting bullseye, last but not least, is Papua New Guinean Vanilla absolute.

Jimmy Choo Man

The fragrance opens with a zingy bouquet of mandarin and lavender, mixing sensual florals with powdery softness, plus the fruity notes of honeydew melon. A sweet sensation. Next are heart notes: pink pepper, geranium, and, rather unusually, pineapple leaf.

The scent closes with a powerful parting shot of patchouli, suede, and ambery woods.

Hugo Boss Infinite

Top notes are a disarming blend of mandarin bright and energising and apple warmed with a hint of cinnamon. Next get ready to charm and beguile with patchouli and lavender musky and sweet at once. To round it all off, base notes of rich olivewood and sandalwood that keep you wanting more.

For Women

Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud Cologne Intense

Elegant, sophisticated and glamorous: Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud Cologne Intense blankets its wearer with a magnetic and decadent mix of woody oud and velvety sweet rose. Dipped in praline, it’s toasted with smoky oud wood and spiked with a hint of clove. Underlying femininity comes from a rich floral depth that’s sweet but fresh, powerful and pleasing and simple all at the same time.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Tom Ford Vanille Fatale

Tom Ford’s Vanille Fatale is a force of nature in a bottle that’s beautiful on the outside and inside. It’s balsamic and sweet, stirring in a spoonful of spicy vanilla, saffron and a snippet of fresh coriander. Take a deep breath into earthy Africa with deeper notes of Madagascan vanilla and roasted barley.

A subtle hint of Mahogany lingers for hours, merging together for a wonderful blast of timeless glamour.

Black Opium’s adrenalinerich coffee mixed with sweet vanilla, orange blossom and jasmine will wake you up faster than any espresso ever could.

A firm favourite, it’s sexy, feminine and bold, with a wide-eyed and awake sprinkle of notes gently complemented by a sugary softness. Its sweetness makes this perfume almost edible, with depth, warmth and longevity adding to its winning combination.

Black Opium is wellblended and intoxicating with floral undertones that stay on the skin hours after the last spritz.

Calvin Klein Euphoria

A double take goes hand in hand with Calvin Klein Euphoria. Woody and warm, it’s inviting in a way that demands attention and draws out confidence.

The luscious fruit notes are glamorous and sexy, merging exotic fruits and seductive florals with notes of pomegranate, succulent persimmon, amber, black violet and mahogany wood. It’s impossible to go unnoticed when wearing Euphoria, with a beauty and quality that seems to almost encourage intimacy.

Montblanc Femme Individuelle

Hugo Boss Orange

Class and sophistication combine in this feminine, oriental perfume. Montblanc Femme Individuelle is the bottle hastily picked up from the dressing table with confidence, for the busy woman who wants a new signature scent. It’s elegant and warm, with an injection of sharp pink pepper and sour blackcurrant to add a pop of colour and heart notes of lotus blossom, hawthorn and rose reminiscent of a bed of petals.

With a patchouli, amber, musk and vanilla base, it’s a perfume with the confidence that removes the need for second-guessing.

Jimmy Choo L’eau

Jimmy Choo L’eau highlights the fun parts of life effortlessly with a fragrance that’s floral and fresh and almost thirst-quenchingly fruity.

It’s radiant and feminine, like a gentle caress on the skin, ideal for the free-spirited woman with top notes of bergamot and hibiscus flower.

Musk and cedarwood add an alluring depth while staying youthful with poppy florals that burst with flavour and an almost tropical finish.

50 FEBRUARY, 2021 TULIP

Monday mornings get an enthusiastic shake up when paired with Hugo Boss Orange’s incredibly light citrus scent. A burst of freshness turns up the vibrancy of an everyday routine with an uplifting spritz of crispy apple and bergamot.

Its modern scent is the urban, natural, feminine woman, filled with enthusiasm and energy. Base notes of sandalwood, olive wood and creamy vanilla accompany a brisk walk to the office. It’s a passionate fragrance that highlights a strong personality and is the best tonic for Monday to Friday.

Colour of the year – Illuminating And Ultimate Gray

Pantone has announced the colour(s) of the year to be ‘Ultimate gray and Illuminating (Yellow)’. The selection of two different colours that varies from each other combines to represent positivity and strength in the space. As far as interiors are concerned, use them wisely as too much of these colours can be overwhelming. Some of the ways to implement this combination in your home are: -Use gray as a base in the form of wall paint, arm chairs or upholstered furniture such as sofa or bed and then break the dullness by adding pop of yellow as accents.

For instance, a grey sofa can be made lively by adding yellow colored cushions and throws to it.

This helps in achieving a perfect balance of colour without making it appear too dull or too vibrant.

-Alternatively, you can incorporate the colour of the year into your space by using grey furnishings with yellow artwork and rugs.

Home office

With many of us working from home during these times, it becomes necessary to carve out a space for home office to increase productivity as well as to create a proper work environment. It could be a small corner of the bedroom, or a whole room depending upon the space available.

Choose furniture that is ergonomically designed to support the function of the task and that gives comfort. Using a wrong chair can cause spinal problems and injuries in a long run. Secondly, ensure that the workspace has adequate lighting. Use floor lamps for additional source of lighting.

When considering a desk, choose one with a good leg space to promote leg movement and which provides good storage options to place the stationery and documents in a convenient manner. Avoid placing the screen right opposite the window to prevent glare.

HOME OFFICE ONE - A mini home office designed in a bedroom corner.

Adding a little shine to your eyes never hurt, your eyes are the first feature your significant other is going to look at when they’re looking at you, make worth their while, let them be mesmerised by you. We suggest you rock the PAC pressed glitter eyeshadow in the shade vampire. It will make your eyes look drop-dead gorgeous and If you’re too shy to shine then dap some subtle yet pretty nudes from Huda Beauty’s nude eyeshadow palette and pair them with a glitter eyeliner of a gold shade called Hey Mr DJ from Too Faced.

Define your face structure, cheekbones and nose tip to a sleek and sexy manner with a soft but golden highlighter from Bobbi Brown in the shade bronze glow. Then add some perfect pink blush to your cheeks in the shade Downboy from The Balm.

Paint your lips red in shade single ladies with a metallic lipstick from Nykaa. If matte isn’t your go-to choice then let lips opt for a soft pop of burst lip gloss from Colorbar.

If you’re all about a natural look we suggest a nude shade lipstick like Whirl from M.A.C and a fleek a jet black beyond mascara from benefit cosmetics. Finally, end your makeup with a dewy look and spray Pixi’s rose glow mist. This will make your face glow and give it a rosy glow.

“Adding a little sparkle to makeup can always look fantastic but using glitter products can be tricky. These are some golden rules I stand by, glitter is a strong statement, always use soft colours like white, beige, copper or brown. Either let your eyes shimmer or your lip, never apply glitter on both. Always avoid glitter near your water, the texture is too harsh for your eye. Here are some of my favourite glitter products, Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow, Lime Crime Diamond Dew Glitter Eyeshadows, Heavy Metal glitter eyeliners by Urban Decay, Cream and Powder Eye Color Duo by Tom Ford, and NYX Professional Makeup Metallic Glitter.”

“Glitter is the essence of an elegant look. A simple way to use glitter is to apply a thin coat of a glitter primer to the eyelid and blend it. Then add the glitter of your choice with a finger if you’re a beginner, make sure the primer is damp so that glitter gets stuck on. You can repeat the process till you get the desired shimmer look. Some of my favourite glitter brands are Stila glitter eye shadows, Lit cosmetics loose glitter, NYX loose glitter and Urban decay glitter.”

Yercaud, a small hill station nestled in the Eastern Ghats in Tamil Nadu is 700 km away from Hyderabad if you go by road and a mere distance of 230 km from Bangalore. Yercaud – an underrated, and less visited hill station is an incredible offbeat destination.

Yercaud stands at an elevation of 4970 feet above sea level on the Shevaroy hills in Tamil Nadu. It takes 20 hairpin bends to reach Yercaud. Tall trees and monkeys are all you could see on the way up. As you get closer to Yercaud, be sure to roll down your windows so that you don’t miss the delicious scent of the coffee, fruits and spices, Yercaud is famous for.
