Why do v/bloggers get so much hate

Okay, not all of them. But some of them get some hate. I admit I have a few vloggers on my sub list that I like to cringewatch because they either sing the funniest songs out of tune or say the dumbest things about products. But that's about it. I know most bloggers / vloggers get the occasional hate comment, but I was surprised to land upon an actual "hate-site" one day while using google to find a few articles on one of the blogs I read regularly. The "haters" were vicious, and I couldn't imagine what the original "vlogger" could have done to be the receiving end of such comments ..read more

A few of my favorite fashion items

Any self-respecting style fashion book starts off with a list of the author's top ten must have items. In the last one year, I have read a lot of such lists. And have found most of them to be odious! It is full of staples like a silk white shirt, tailored black blazer & such items designed to help you, adult, successfully. Only, I am not that person. I have barely any fashion/style credentials to talk about. I am just a regular girl and my main goal in life is to hide my insecurities and overcompensate for my dull life through my clothes. Before I start putting up more extensive posts ..read more

ATB BB Series: My 10 JERF food rules

I will complete five years (or six?) this September since I first decided to go on a low-carb diet. I lost the weight I needed to in about 15 months, and since then have maintained my weight loss (touchwood). In the meantime, I have experimented and cycled through a number of diet variations to now arrive at what are my food rules through trial & error. I say trial & error because while there is a lot of information online on "How to lose weight", there isn't enough on "Maintainance". In addition, there are those random websites (who me? lol) who keep adding to the confusion with misi ..read more

The Tattered Clothing trend - Recession or Romanticizing Poverty?

It started off with the 10 piece french inspired no color wardrobe trend. Minimal. Lived In. Soon Kanye was onto it, and now it is everywhere. I am talking about holes. Holes in jeans, holes in sweatshirts. It is in H&M now and may be the biggest trend in 2017. It is the distressed clothing trend. I don't include the clothes that have artfully placed cuts in them in this category. You know, the cold shoulders & cut-out tops & dresses. Those look good. They remind me of the grunge look popular in the 90s.  I talk about clothes where the distressing is such that you can't make ..read more

Australian Beauty - Things I love & hate

I will soon be completing a year living in Sydney. When I moved here, I carried all my MAC & Revlon lipsticks, and some makeup from Lakme & Colorbar, essentially Indian brands. But not too much. After all I wanted to try out the brands here, including Sephora! Over time I have come to love certain aspects of the beauty market here, but there are some things which honestly India does better. Let's start off with the things I love: 1. You can wear makeup. Or not wear makeup. Without Judgement! There is no beauty standard. If you were to visit Sydney from India, you would probably leave ..read more

Do beauty gurus inspire you?

Are you bored too? With the cookie-cutter highlighting till they look like a discoball and filler-videos like "Watch me blend my makeup with a boiled egg?" (Yes. this exists on youtube, I believe worse exists involving man-parts. I would rather watch the Red Wedding again.) I saw Wayne Goss's video on this, and I couldn't agree more.  I can't identify with the Instagram-makeup trend, which seems like a mix of drag queen & kardashian makeup on steroids. It takes massive skills to do that kind of makeup and also time. While the videos are speeded & edited to be short, I doubt i ..read more

Why plus-size clothing sucks
Addicted to Blush

Plus-size fashion has come a long way, thanks to the increasing presence of plus-sized bloggers/YouTubers. They have been vocal with their feedback, and the change is now percolating to high-street brands. Target just launched their Victoria Beckham collection that goes up to a plus-size. Five years ago I would have scoffed at the idea of Victoria's designs being available in plus-size. It would have seemed unbelievable. I have always been very fond of dressing up and having traversed the spectrum from plus-size to straight-size, I feel, plus-size clothing sucks, and will never match up to st ..read more

Does your white tee bring you joy?

Kon-Mari's famous words in her best-selling tome on decluttering, was to pick every item in the house & ask yourself - Does this bring me joy? If your heart says no, throw it away! Your space should only be full of items that bring you joy. By that logic, I would be sockless and would have no plates to eat out of, coz neither inspire any joy in me. Inspired by her, thousands of fashionistas have whittled down their closets to 30 items, all based on a carefully curated color scheme that builds on neutrals and is environmentally sustainable. But I don't buy it. This new "carefree wannabe ..read more

Makeup Resolutions for 2017

I was browsing through my draft posts, and came across one I did in 2014 about makeup trends. Of all the things I noted there (which to be honest was just one item - thicker eyebrows), I could have never guessed how different makeup would be in 2017. In the past few months I started to feel old & outdated with my brown eyeliner & red lipstick while girls around me have been wearing so much makeup I would probably say their skin type is "Banana Powder". This was rather unbecoming of my past as a beauty blogger and I needed to find a way to burn money, so I made a list. Of makeup resolu ..read more

Sorry, I couldn't think of a more interesting blog post title. I am a bit rusty. First of all, I am surprised that my blog post yesterday was read by 51 people! One of them was my adorable younger sister, and she's my constant cheerleader! Thank you, Sims! And thank you to the other 50 people too! and a big shoutout to Abha, Ashima & Budget Belleza who even commented! Also Shweta, who has been encouraging me to get back to blogging for the last three years. I wasn't anticipating more than 10 views, to be honest. But then I was also convinced that there would be stray kangaroos roaming ..read more
