Life Hack Tuesday: Fit into those shoes!

Hey Dolls,

We all know how sale days get, gathering all the things you like, picking up things with the best deals & making sure you don't pick up a damaged piece or leave anything you want for others. I bought this pair of shoes from sale & in a hurry the salesman gave me 1 shoe from the pair a size smaller than my actual size, when I realized and went back, the pieces was sold out, So yes! I have a pair of shoe in my closet which is not of the same size.

Do you have a pair of shoe that you love but its a little tight on some areas of your feet or you really want to buy this beautiful pair you had your eyes on but is not available in your size then this is the post for you!

All you need is a hair dryer, pair of socks & your shoes, you can skip the sock if you fit into the shoes but just want it to be more comfortable, wear your socks and slip your feet into the shoe, then blow dry the shoes focusing on the tighter areas, repeat as required, then remove your socks, you'll easily fit into the shoes, My sister does it all the time to fit into my shoes! It works with all the fabrics and vinyl!
Take care of your shoes by storing them in dust free area.

Life Hack Tuesdays: Remove Egg Yolk Perfectly Everytime!

Hey Dolls,

Today I'm going to share with you this amazing trick I found on the Internet here, Its supposedly how Russians do it and I've tried over a hundredth time and it always works!

I specially do it when making Macrons to perfectly remove the yolk as a whole, its a great way to get your egg-whites separated!

All you need to do is follow these 5 easy steps!

1. Break an egg in a bowl (If you're quick enough you can do it directly on the pan too, works for me!) 
2. Take an empty plastic bottle (uncapped), give it a mild squeeze.
3. While still squeezing it place the opening on the egg yolk, don't press on it, you don't want the yolk to break.
4. Release the squeeze, it will vacuum the egg yolk in and you're left with your egg-whites! Mind Blown!
5. Try not to play with the egg yolk!

Do try this and remember don't waste the egg yolk, instead put it your hair and roots for 40 minutes before washing for smooth hair, this will give your hair all the proteins it requires to be healthy. Do let me know how did you like this trick by commenting or take a picture and tag me in the tweets or on Instagram, you can directly follow me by clicking on the respective icons on the top right corner. Take good care of yourself and keep smiling!

Life Hack Tuesdays: Dilute Red Wine Stains with white wine.

Hey dolls,

If you love red wine put your hands up, you are awesome! But how many can you have before getting it on your clothes? I'm sure every red wine drinker has been been a victim atleast once! Whats worse then having a stain on your favourite clothes ot carpets? Staying with them, So heres a trick that can save us from the embarrassment, Use white wine! Yeah, you read that correctly. When you’re at a party and you accidentally spill some red wine on your blouse, immediately pour white wine over the stain and let it air-dry. The white neutralizes the red making it less visible and easier to take out the stain. Incase of couch, carpet where the object has soaked the wine add salt it'll soak the red wine neutralizing the effect further. This tip only make the colour neutralized & less visible, doesn't completely remove the stain.

So the next time you have Sangria on your dress, Don't obsess over it and continue to enjoy the party!

How to choose your mascara?

Hey dolls,

Ever wondered why does our favourite makeup brands have so many different mascaras in their product range? Yes! mascaras come with a wide range and its essential for you to know which one suits you the best. Besides color coating your eyelashes, it also gives them definition. Just as you choose shades for your eye shadow, mascaras also come in different colors and properties and ingredients. What may work wonders for your best friend may not work at all for you. Surprised? This article might help you to clear your doubts, here are a few guidelines..

Your Eyelashes Are Short and Stubby: If you have blunt, short eyelashes that are not so prominent then try lengthening mascara, don't just go by the words of the sales girl, choose between mascaras that emphasis on its lengthening ability. This mascara will give your lashes definition and will make them look much longer. They also make the lashes look deeper and darker. An eyelash curler is a good option to add in your makeup routine, it does create an illusion of longer lashes.

Your Eyelashes are Sparse

Worried about the thin, sparse eyelashes? Worry not, help is at hand. Sparse eyelashes are a common problem faced by women. And that’s where mascara comes in. The best mascara for sparse eyelashes are volumizing ones. These will add volume to your lashes, making them look thicker and better.They contain ingredients like polymer and waxes that helps in ‘building’ your lashes. Make sure you highlight your lashes from root to tip with the wand, held horizontally for a great effect. You can also try fake eyelashes for your glitzy parties.

Your Eyelashes have an Improper Shape

We all know that the perfect eyelashes should be long and dense with just the right amount of curl. Instead of opting for an eyelash curler, a simpler option is to pick up curling mascara. These mascaras will give your face a wide-eyed look and create dramatically curled eyelashes that last all day. They have a thicker formulation that dries quickly so as to hold the curled-up shape. Eyelash curlers can help you with it also try section false eyelashes.

Eye-catching Eyelashes

For special event when you want extra attractive lashes, you must pick bold and dramatic mascara that will add volume and length. Many brands have auto-powered and vibrating brushes that’ll apply the coat evenly to your lashes. Make sure you apply at least two coats in order to make an impression and try to choose a waterproof one that stays all day long.

Don' follow your favourite beauty guru's recommends blindly, go to the store and try multiple mascaras before buying them. Also try avoiding waterproof make up when possible as they may get a little difficult to remove and we all know that makeup residue is bad! I'll be doing a makeup cleansing routine soon, Do subscribe to my blog for more posts like this. Till then take good care of yourself and don't forget to remove your makeup everyday.
