The one beauty hack you need...

I have constantly had dark circles every now and then along with some occasional acne and even though the acne doesn’t bother me, dark circles and certain dark spots on my face do. Since I am not a fan of chemicals and face products (well I am constantly scared to use them what if I am allergic to something that I don’t know and my face breaks out?) which is why I stick by natural DIY face care.

Anything and everything that I can whip up in my kitchen is good to go on my face. I am sure a lot of you would be facing similar issues (Men and women alike).

I just discovered this amazing face pack that can be made easily and without the use of complex ingredients. I know too well the struggle we all face when something like this is in question and usually the ingredients are difficult to locate and read more…

The constant borrowing from my mother took a toll on me and I thought well its time. I bought my earphones from Philips and they are amazing. I feel great now that I have them, I can watch movies and listen to music without disturbing anyone which I used to do a lot back in the day.

I think it’s time we decoded men’s footwear read more…
