The Secret...

Hello Blog Readers!
A quick post about this book that I'm currently reading..Its called "The Secret" By Rhonda Byrne
I have to confess that I'm quite a self-help book nerd...any self improvement book around me will not be spared from my hands..So what happened was,recently (a week ago) i met my close friend for our usual evening walk/jog in the park and at the end we always relax..Does anyone else do this?We always sit down to chat all of life's mysteries and happiness and troubles...this is the whole point of us jogging the park lol..because no matter what our moods are..we always end up being infinitely cheered up when we go home..So anyway..On this particular evening...she noticed that I was not quite my chirpy self..(I'm the chirpiest of chirpy birds actually..)So she sensed that i was going to be depressed and she was like.."hey i have this book..self help..full of positivity and stuff..u want it?"..Do i want to read a self help book?I mean..DOES the sun rise in the east? Same question..

So..The Review yes..:-D

The first thing noticeable about this hard bind book is the shape..its not the dimensions of an usual book..its almost a square..with the width just a tiny bit lesser than the length..Now..this is really uncomfortable to hold ..But its a book with such a powerful message..So lets move on from the dimensions.

The first and foremost thing i like about it is..It reveals ..yes you guessed it.."THE SECRET" BAM right in the first chapter..there's no beating about the bush with this book...not like one those books which go.."Do you want to know what it actually is?Then go on to the next chapter "..I'm like.. TELL me already...you know?So i don't want to include spoilers in this post..but the secret is actually quite simple..right in front of our eyes but still unseen..But after that,,it gets strangely repetitive..Every chapter holds the same secret and message..book tells you to apply the same secret for all problems..I'm trying it everyday..trying to think like how the book tells me to and it definitely feels good..This book definitely needs to be read at least once in your life..just to try the secret...Its worth it...Oh and apparently this was a movie first before they published the book...I will watch it very soon hope they have it on YouTube..And also the website for the book has some really cool stuff you should definitely check that out..

If you want to start indulging in some self love then I suggest you start with one of my favorite self help books ever.."How to Win Friends and Influence People"...It holds such powerful concepts that I've been blown away when I tried applying it..A couple of other amazing self helps are "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff".."Who Moved My Cheese"(which is very short) and last but not least "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"(My absolute favorite short inspiring story..standing ovation for this one).Got any books you loved so much that you'd suggest them to me??

Lakme 9 to 5 Lipstick(Brownie Point)

Helllooo people!! aaargh its been quite a while since my last post..i wrote a few tips about motivation..if u want u can check it out here ..but now finally im back to write another post and it feels good..alright without further ado lets dive in!!

Another lipstick review??

Alright another lipstick review...honestly ive been thinking about what to write about in my next post and ive had quite a few ideas...but my cousin sister and I recently purchased this lipstick and i couldn't wait to write the review and finish it off..

Kylie Jenner vibe..

The reason we purchased this lipstick is because the moment i saw it i felt a very Kylie Jenner vibe around it...its quite a brownish lipstick..i was like hmmm i cant get kylies lipkits here so i might as well do a desi take on those...like..maybe this is a dupe..(always excited for dupes..lol)

Ok so..ive seen the lipkits ..so i can tell that this lipstick has a close resemblance to dolce k...but the difference is this is a legit matte lipstick..and kylies lipkits are liquid matte lipsticks..Alright enough beating about the bush.

The Actual Review-

Packaging - Might not be a new thing to most of you guys..All of you have seen these petty famous gorgeous rose gold tubes...Looks really really elegant one must agree.
Price - Around 375 INR....But i got it for a small discount in health and glow..the actual price was around 383 i guess..
Texture & Color - Applies soo smoothly and it's quite pigmented. The color is "Brownie Point"

Type - Matte
Staying Power - Not bad...Around 2 hours easily..but if u drink or eat something(which obviously we do..cause we don't belong to the Edward Cullen family hello)..the effects wear off ....I'm quite disappointed with the staying power actually.

Now i know that these aren't the best pictures(try to bear with me people I've got a crappy camera)..but these pics are pretty much accurate on the shade.Now i wanted to include one pic of my face but trust me you didn't want to see that..teehee.

On the whole this is a good brown lipstick but somehow it didn't quite suit my skin tone...if i apply two or three coats..it looks muddy..but a single coat looks delicious ..warm brown lips..definitely team this lipstick up with the right outfit otherwise it ends up looking gaudy..Do you guys remember the 1990s and early 2000s hindi movies and how they were obsessed with brown lipsticks?.(i mean literally you would see all top ladies like Aishwarya and Rani and Kajol wearing these deep brown shades)..if you loved those then you will definitely love this one!!

Motivational Rant and Other Random Thoughts..

Hello there!How you doin?( Dont imagine Joey Tribbiani saying this..this is a normal how you doin..haha)..What have you been upto guys???August 2016 has gone by...really??It feels like just yesterday that i heard a loud extremely drunk crowd shouting "happy new year! " on the streets..and now its already September!!..I dont know about you..but i always tend to reminisce or miss days..even if it was the previous week..like..if i see a photo i immediately check out the date and then i go..aw that was four months ago..but it doesn't feel like four months..it feels like one fifth of a second..where does all the time go?? And so..i decided to write this post...Like a random reminder that days fly past and you need to live every moment of it.

The past 8 months have taught me a lot of things...You can just be ..you can be a potato on the couch,,just scanning through the TV looking for something to kill the time..you can be this person..nobody would care(except maybe a few real well wishers)...that's the truth..nobody cares ..
YOU get on your feet and start putting your life back together ,because, YOU want your life to rock,,YOU don't want to be depressed anymore..YOU don't want to feel self pity..YOU don't want to hate yourself anymore..yes,it all starts and ends with you..so what do you do?..You pick yourself up...You start taking baby steps..one step at a time..I could talk about my depression but there would be no point because this post that Im writing right now,,,is a happy post..(but if anyone asks i might do a future post about it).

I feel like..in a country where being an engineer or a doctor is the stereotype..i feel that its extremely important to break out and do your own thing..because that gives you happiness..this is why i always admire people who leave everything to follow their passion..if being an engineer or a doctor is your thing then definitely go for it...But there are lots of people who are dreaming big but cant follow it up due to fear,doubt and other similar silly but scary reasons..and that's why if you love something you should plunge yourself  immediately into it...don't think,,,don't EVER think...just do it(now i know what nike means)...just do anything...you might be scared,doubtful,weary,hopeless....but get up on your feet...get up right now and follow your dreams..because nothing is impossible...this is all life,.and you live only once..(i dont want to include a cheesy YOLO here..:-)  )

Do you think you embarrassed yourself sometime and your'e feeling mortified?don't worry,...people dont care..they never do..they have already forgotten what you did...Do you feel your hands shaking before you enter the stage?Do it anyway...you have nothing to lose..and everything to gain..Are you a mother and sometimes you wonder where life is going and you dont know what youre doing??Then hang in there..life gets better..it ALWAYS does...Are you panicking and cant seem to think or breathe...count to 10 and take deep breaths and remind yourself that this is just life...you only have one life..You can either own it or go down..Because a week or a month or 6 months or a year from now,,you will think back to this situation and feel "oh i should have done that..now its too late"...never allow this thought to creep into your mind..because nothing can kill your mind like regrets and guilt..So..Go ahead and do what you've been thinking about...you can be awesome at it..and I KNOW it..but its time for you to know it..So..Go and be who you've always wanted to be because who knows..you might end up being successful beyond your wildest dreams and inspire others too along the process..remember somewhere in the future,there is a person waiting and wanting to look up to you and think "He/She is so awesome..thats EXACTLY who I want to be"..And that must be the best feeling...Right??
