Long hair can be styled in many ways to suit one’s needs. It can be straightened, curled, wrapped in buns, braided and more. Hair styling can be done in numerous ways when you have long hair. It gives you the opportunity to experiment with a lot of hairstyles because of its length.

1. Curly Hairstyles For Long Hair:

Curly hairstyles look very attractive for women with long hair. Long hair when straightened most of the times has a very monotonous effect. So curling it adds a lot of texture and makes you look very pretty. The above style is very easy to recreate. Just curl the bangs outwards and curl the rest of the hair into semi tight curls. You can use a curler or use an overnight curling method to curl. Apply some hairspray to keep the curls for a longer time. This hairstyle for girls with long and curly hair is perfect!

This is another girls hairstyle that would look great if you can sport a big chunky hair accessory with it. The hair accessory should be huge and this is what makes this look so feminine and attractive. This hairstyle is styled with super tight curls and it needs a pretty good length of hair for the hairstyle to come out good.  If you have shorter length, then some loose curls might work better with this look. Add a chic humongous hair accessory for this style to make an instant hit.

This style looks very chic and is apt for any special occasion too. Just middle part your hair and curl them. The curls can be slightly loose too. Bangs should not be left over the face and the face should be left clean. You can try this for day and evening parties too.

Can’t get enough of Beyonce? Well, it’s time to try her trademark hairstyle too! For these small tight curls or corkscrew curls, you might need professional aid or the help of a friend or family member, especially to get the back part of your hair done. To do the corkscrew curls at home, follow these instructions:

• Get hold of thin, round curling tongs. The thinner they are, the tighter your curls will be.
• For doing this, you need to have dry hair. Hence, make sure your hair is dry and then take your hair section by section and roll around the curling tongs.
• This is a time-consuming task; hence, patience is necessary.
• Take someone’s help to get the back part of your hair done.

Quick pimple cures

• Apply sandalwood paste on pimple-affected areas and leave it overnight. This heals pimples and reduces its aggravation to a great extent

• Apply tulsi leaves’ paste on pimples. Leave it on for 15 minutes and wash thoroughly thereafter. This is a great natural and home remedy for pimples.

Winter care tips

• Dry and flaky skin is a common phenomenon during winters. It leaves your skin feeling stretchy and itchy at times. Good moisturization is essential to overcome this. So even if you have oily skin, using a light face moisturiser is a must in winters. This helps control moisture loss, hence balancing it.
• Most people don’t realise that going out in the sun even for few minutes can be damaging for skin. Always use a sunscreen lotion before stepping out. Yes it is vital in winters too. Make sure you apply sunscreen lotion at least 15-20 minutes before stepping out. Reapply it once in 2 hours for better results.
• Using a good moisturiser in the night helps nourish your dry skin. This is the secret behind a soft and glowing skin in winters. Use a Vitamin A and E-rich cream. Apply it on your face in gentle and upward motions. You can also add a little water to it.

Homemade cleansers

• For dry skin – mix 8 drops of sunflower oil to 3 tablespoons of milk. Use this mixture as your cleansing milk. Dip a cotton ball into the mixture and gently wipe your face.
• For oily skin – mix cucumber juice, lemon juice and rose water together. This works best for cleansing skin and removing excess oil from it.
• For normal skin – aloe vera gel mixed with lemon juice acts as a good cleanser for normal skin. It moisturises skin enough and fights signs of ageing with regular use.

Top 10 Fresh Flower Jewellery For Your Mehndi Design

A wedding is a special occasion. All eyes are on the bride. One thing that everyone pays attention to is the bridal mehendi. Recently I was at a friend’s mehendi ceremony. Here, I came across some of the most beautiful mehendi designs. Another interesting thing was the inclusion of flowers in the mehendi design. Beautiful fresh flowers were used to decorate the hands and feet of the bride. They actually made the mehendi look brighter and more attractive.

Later, when I was looking at the pictures of the bridal mehendi, I saw how well the flowers and floral garlands accentuated the bridal mehendi. The flowers were bright and fresh, and the red mehendi looked like a painting of a garden. I found the concept unique and special. Later on, I got the mehendi done on my palms and decorated it with flowers on the hand.Flower jewellery has become very popular for weddings and mehendi ceremonies. Brides from various cultures no longer prefer the huge array of gold bangles or jewellery at their wedding. Flowers that are fresh are available in a plethora of colours. These flowers are further decorated with gold and silver beads. They look delicate and with the mehendi, they somehow look prettier. These flowers delivered with utmost care to keep their freshness and vibrant colours intact. When you order fresh flowers in advance, you will have ample time to make uniue flower jewellery for mehendi ceremonies, making it a special occasion for the bride.

The flower jewellery does not last very long and wither away in a day or two. However, they make beautiful wedding memories and when the bride looks back at the mehendi ceremony photographs, she may get transfixed by the beauty of the jewellery.

There are hundreds of creative ideas that can be incorporated while making flower jewellery. Or, you can let your imagination lose and see what it brings with it. Just to give you some support, here are the top 10 flower jewellery designs for a mehendi ceremony that you can use for your own ceremony or a friend’s.

1. During a wedding, a bride usually has to hold something in her palms. You can create a peacock-like jewellery with the fresh flowers for the bride to hold. In addition, making delicate bracelets with inter-woven flowers, such as jasmine can further accentuate the hands and palms of the bride.

2. How about a bouquet? You can create a bouquet with daisies or chrysanthemums. This is a simple and yet beautiful fresh flower jewellery that can be used to decorate the bride or her sister. You can let your imagination run wild and use coloured beads or pearls to accentuate the bouquet and as a strap to keep the bouquet fixed to the wrist, much like a prom corsage.

3. Roses are apt for weddings. After all they symbolise love. The warm red color of rose buds can accentuate the hue of the mehendi. You can easily turn delicate red rose buds into rings to decorate the fingers of the bride. Why go in for gold and silver rings when you can make eye-catching ones with fresh rose buds?

4. Flowers make the most beautiful bracelets. Just intertwine delicate white chrysanthemums with red rose buds using a stringed beaded with pearls and viola! There you have the most eye-catching and amazing bracelets to adorn the wrist of the bride and her friends.

5. A beautiful posy made from red roses packed tightly can be used as a bouquet or even can be pinned on to bride to make a unique flowery brooch. Of course, the posy would have to be small to be used as a brooch or it will look weird. Decorate the posy with silver thread and beads to give it a more glamorous look.

6. Yellow chrysanthemums make the perfect contrast to the lovely, warm redness of mehendi. You can use the chrysanthemums to create a tiara for the bride and let it adorn her head. It will make her feel and look like a princess on her very special day.

7. Taking a small detour. You also can use flowers and flower petal designs in the mehendi itself. This can make the design look more appealing, especially if the bride is wearing fresh flower bracelet or necklace.

8. A bride needs to wear a necklace and what better than to create one with fresh flowers. Instead of garlands, weave the flowers into chokers and decorative necklace that the bride can wear for the mehendi ceremony. Be sure to use small flowers and buds for this purpose, such as chrysanthemums, jasmine and rose buds. It is best to mix and match to come up with a colourful necklace that matches the bride’s outfit.

9. Have thought of using flowers to decorate the bride’s hair? No? Then here is a brilliant idea. Interweave yellow rose buds in a linear manner to adorn the bride’s hair. Use silver thread for this purpose and you will be amazed at the results.

10. Use delicate white rose buds to create a wreath-like head dressing and let the bride wear it. It has a bohemian appeal that can make the bride look gorgeous as well as modern on this very traditional day.

4. Drink up

To rid your body of toxins, flush out your kidneys and boost your metabolism, drink two glasses of water in the morning on your commute to work.

7 Wonderful Foods That Will Give You Great Skin

There are many tasty foods that can give you great skin, and including some of them in your eating plan is essential. When you have a healthy skin, you look much younger and fresher, no matter how old you are. The foods you consume every day play a significant role in the health of your skin as well as your overall health. Nowadays it’s hard to choose foods that are tasty and healthy at the same time. Hopefully, this list of 7 foods to eat to have a gorgeous skin will help you keep your skin healthy and young.

1. Flax seeds

Flax seeds are rich in omega-3’s that play a critical role in controlling the appearance of age spots and fine lines. A study shows that consuming flax seeds every day helps relieve skin redness and irritation and helps make skin look fresh and soft. Add some flax seeds to your oatmeal, smoothies or your favorite muffin recipe.

2. Purple and blue fruits

Purple and blue fruits are among the best foods to eat for a great skin. Blueberries, blackberries and plums are all rich in antioxidants, which combat free radical damage. If you don’t know, free radicals come from a poor diet or chemicals in the environment. Purple and blue fruits can also help keep your skin looking younger longer.

3. Sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E, an important nutrient that helps protect your skin from the daily sun damage. Sunflower seeds make a perfect, portable snack to eat on the go. You can also use these wonderful seeds in your oatmeal, salads, cereal, or trail mix. Just make sure you don’t add too much salt to your salads, salt isn’t good for your skin.

4. Chocolate

The great news for all chocolate lovers, chocolate is good for your skin, despite all the myths that it causes acne. I love dark chocolate and eat it almost daily (of course, in moderation), and from personal experience I can say that chocolate doesn’t cause acne. Chocolate actually increases flavonol intake that translates to gorgeous skin. Since chocolate has some calories, make sure you it eat in moderation.

5. Sweet potatoes

I was really happy to learn that sweet potatoes are good for skin. They are high in vitamins A and C, which are both essential for glowing and healthy skin. The thing is, vitamin C increases collagen production that keeps your skin supple and smooth, and vitamin A is a potent antioxidant that fights free radical damage and prevents skin cancer. I think it’s a great reason to add sweet potatoes to your eating plan.

6. Tomatoes

When I did my research, I was surprised to find out that tomatoes are good for skin. Many people say that eating tomatoes can cause acne. But tomatoes are an excellent source of antioxidants, namely lycopene, which helps improve skin health as well as protects pigmentation. Add tomatoes to your salads or put some on a sandwich. When you cook tomatoes, you increase their lycopene content, so feel free to eat pizza sauce and marinara too.

7. Yogurt

One of the best snacks that most of us like is yogurt. Did you know that it’s great for your skin? Yogurt contains protein that keeps your skin firm and that helps fight the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Stay away from fruity versions since they are packed with sugar. Opt instead for plain yogurt and add some fresh fruits to it to make it more delicious.
