Money Saving - Part I

Saving Money @ Home.

"Money once spent, can't be got back"

Yes, this is true we all would have experienced this by now!!

But did we stop and think on how to save money?

I have done it in some cases, and though this would be helpful if i share this on my BLOG!

We being gals are very found of beauty and beauty products, and spend our money on those which ever says that will make you fair!

First of all we have to decide which is necessity and which is luxury for us and go accordingly!

You can understand were you are spending your money by using a simple trick.

Take a book and just write down your monthly expenses! though this sounds old way trust me this is the best thing you can ever do to find out your mistakes.

What i have found and what i did?

Yes, for me monthly twice a facial to get glow on my skin was very important. and i was blindly spending between 1200-2000 for 1 facial.

So for a month i was spending approximately 4000 on this! i felt 4K isn't a small amount to spend for a house wife like me, i understand, if there is necessity to do so. but before getting in to the parlor think once if it is really needed.

You can get your facial done by your self by spending 45-60 mins in a day. And by saving approximately 2000 in a Month.

Don't you think, if you do your own facial it is more hygiene than going to parlous and getting skin rashes?

I have mentioned some of the face packs which are effective for dry skin in my below posts. i wouldn't say just refer my posts. You have many online sites were you can find this information.You just have to spend some of your time on this. thats it.and you will get this information.

All you need is little patience and planning

Facial steps:-

 Face Packs:-

Before saying i don't have time i cant do it myself, just give it a try once, doing facial for yourself isn't rocket science. And our elders used to do this by them selves always!

Spending money is a minute task, to earn it is a circus.

So please think before you spend!!

Hopefully this post would be helpful atleast for some of the gals out there. Do leave your comments if you feel there is something i need to + or -.
Have a great day gals!

Weight Loss, MOTIVATION.....

MOTIVATION.

Yes, i also have gone through this phase of life were i go to gym and do dieting strictly from Monday to Friday.... and Saturday i go with my family and hop crazily and get those calories back :(

To make it clear, weight loss is not a day or a week result, its life style change!!

To keep us on track we have to get motivation from things around us...

Either your best friend can help you in this or there are many online stuff which will keep you on track. i would like to share some of them here.

1.) MFP:- My Fitness Pal this can help you in understading 

how many calories you have taken?

how many calories you need in a day?

how many calories you spent in a day in exercise?

a very helpful tool

2.) You tube:- i used to use youtube to see motivational video, the most effective person i felt was

amyNicolax who has lost a good amount of weight and kept herself motivated. and is practical in her approach.

Sapna Vyas Patel, you can even check this version.

3.)You can browse many websites which are available online for getting motivated...but before giving up saying i am not loosing weight please think that we gained this weight for years and expect to cut this off in days/weeks.


Keep going!! Never giveup!!

Weight Loss!!

Weight Loss, Walking.

Weight loss the most buzzing word, due to jobs which makes us to stick to chairs we all are crossing the borderline of over weight and now moving to Obese.

I also moved to this borderline and saw all scarcities with this.

Health issues, stress, anxiety and many more.

By changing very few things in your day to day activities you can make it up.

I see many people trying to loose weight, for a month and then say am not loosing weight. and stop all the trials.

Be practical, you have put on this weight in so many years and you think a month is sufficient to start loosing weight?

Below are some changes which i have made myself and found the result.

1.) Start.... Yes, first thing you have to do is you have to start it. never think in a month you will achieve your goal. keep long term goal initial days will be for managing your weight. so step back take a deep breath. weight loss isn't fr a month or day it is for a healthy life.

2.)Exercise.... start walking daily a minimum exercise which can be done by anyone at anyplace. the only concept is start your walking with 10,000 steps. make sure you do not leave this practice at any time. By walking daily  it will become a habit. a healthy habit.

3.) Eat Clean.... When you start eating clean this means you have started understanding your body. Exercise 40 : Food 60 this is how the ratio works. Do not think you can change yourself just by selecting this 1, either food or exercise. but health weight loss is combination of both.

These are some of the minimum changes which can be done by anyone, apart from this motivation is more important factor.

Get motivated

Good Luck and hope this post is helpful to some one to start there weight loss journey.

Meditation

Meditation for beginners

Isn't a easy thing to start with, in this busy life we are overloaded with stress and anxiety on its high levels. which in-turn is cause of many health issues...

Even i tried to meditate for more than some months, but still i feel i can only be on for very less time.

The time you have to meditate is as below

Your age=minutes

if you are 25 years, try meditating for 25 mins in a day..

Some of the tips which helped me are as follow:-

• Initially start with 2 mins of meditation.... Yes, you heard it correctly just try to close your eyes for 2 mins and concentrate on your breathing.
• Do not change your breathing pattern, just observe your breathing.
• Initially you have so many thinking striking to your mind which tries to disturb your silence. be practical and accept it.
• Slowly increase the time of the practice, best time to perform this practice is morning 6 or evening 6.
• it isn't compulsory for this time, even before you go to bed,fr 10 mins you can try doing this.
• If you cant take silence, you can meditate by playing silent music, or even OM. you can get this in youtube as well.

Instead of so many anxiety medicines, it is very great if we can control our thoughts which will inturn reduce our stress and anxiety.

PS:- please avoid Mobile phones and other smart devices when trying for meditation!! better if you can sit in a dark room initially to get catch of silence.

Enjoy what ever you do this will help you to get rid of stress too.

DO let me know if this is helpful!! :)

TAN Removal Packs

TAN Removal Packs:-

Summer is almost on its heights, with out sunscreen it is not wise to even step out. but as we already know sunscreen just works for 2 to 3 hrs after applying.... if i have to go out for more than 2.... i have to carry face wash & sunscreen with me...

I personally do not like carrying so many things with me... so was thinking to share these tan removal packs with you... which is beneficial and useful.

1.) Every first step for any pack is use normal milk to cleanse you face thoroughly than using cleansing milk. this helps in cleansing and keeping the moisturizer as well.

2.)You can use Curd alternative days to get rid of tan, a very useful home remedy.

3.) Try this pack weekly once:-
Rice flour and milk..mix rice flour with milk and apply this on face leave it for 10 mins and rinse off.

Try these out instead of expensive tan packs of chemicals in parlous.

It just takes 20-30 mins of time and is healthy one, chemical free and less expensive....

Try them out.....Do et me know if this helped you:)
