I’m not sure if there is something about the air around this time of the year coz man oh man, I feel so inspired. I don’t know what’s gone into me – whatever it is – I love it! Having said that, I’m going to kick of this week by some bloggy-goodness, yes! So I am introducing this new category to my blog, (which honestly I don’t work will work or not, but I can only try, right!?) I have been thinking about something like this from a long time. I wanted to start this series mostly because since I’ve started blogging regularly – I have also started to feel really narcissistic. There are so many people out there who inspire me in many ways, so I thought starting a series on them might be fun and also I get to know them! Win – Win! So in this category, I would cover stories of people who inspire me in terms of their work, style and beauty. (Note – These might or might not be popular people).

So let’s get started!

This year in March I visited Bhutan and I completely fell in love with the country. Apart from its astonishing beauty & culture – I was also amazed and mesmerised by the street style. I immediately started looking up for stylish people in Bhutan and Chyunid’s blog came up. I’ve been reading her blog ever since. I really wanted to know more about her and so I wrote an email telling her about the series and that I would like her to be a part of it and guess what – she said yes! I hope you guys enjoy you this! 🙂

1. Can you tell me a little about what you do and what kind of things you enjoy the most? ( these need not to be fashion related)

I’m a full time aircraft engineer. Besides that I just enjoy every bits and pieces of stuff to work with.

2. When I was in Bhutan, I realized women had great skin. What is your daily facial skincare routine?

Honestly, I think its all about hydration. I would totally recommend drinking lots and lots of water.

3. I also realized they had great hair.(:P) How do you care for your hair?

Oiling and hair mask. I would make sure I use conditioning all the time esp. at my tips of my hair rather than roots.

4. What’s the best thing about Bhutan? For me, the open mindedness of people towards women was really inspiring. Being right next to India, you can’t expect such an open culture for women.

For me best thing about Bhutan is fresh air and clean water and above all happiness.

5. I really like your style. I am a huge vintage fan and I always find a hint of vintage touch in your style and you completely rock it. How would you describe your style? Who inspires you?

I have never stuck to one style to be honest, I love trying different trends and its always fun. I love exploring fashion around different parts of world and those inspires me the most.

6. I see you do a lot of interesting DIY projects. What made you do so and from how long are you doing it? Any tips for starters?

I have always loved doing mini projects. I always made dresses for my doll as a kid and as I grew up I started making my own..haha.

7. Finally, do you have an overall fashion/beauty philosophy?

If you love doing something, just keep doing it and guess it just happens.

Oh hello there! How have you been? I’m sure some of you know that I’ve been fan of all things nail-paints for a long time and I can be often seen doing an impulsive happy dance with my new bright nails. I’m so pleased with all the hand-thrown goodness served up by POLISH Nail Spa. If it also tickles your fancy, find more about them here.

Special thanks to Gurbani of Spangle Street to arrange this amazing Sunday for all Chandigarh bloggers. With fellow bloggers around, the experience could be nothing but amazing. It was a great opportunity to pamper ourselves and have fun! So, about the experience – I’m more of a power polish kind of a person (pretty nails for at least 15 days! NO CHIPPING) so I chose that with nail art on top! But you get a lot of other options to choose from like Spa Pedicure and Manicure, Permanent Nail Art, Gel Overlays and Nail Extensions. I was getting this done for the first time and I loved it. Also, when I’m using someones services for the first time, specially skin related – I can be a little crazy about hygiene – but I was so happy and relaxed to see the staff in their proper clothes, absolutely clean workstations, technicians wore masks, machines and instruments were clean and the place was very well maintained.

My nail technician Martha was really nice and professional. She started the whole process with cleaning my nails, cuticle pushing and filing. After cleaning, she started with the base coat. It took me a while to decide the nail art and then I finally decided to get almost nude colour nails with the hint of glitter on top. I totally love it. I think it suits my personality and reflects many things about it. Martha did a fantastic job and artfully applied the glitter. I love how the whole look came out, I couldn’t stop staring at hands.

What could be more perfect then getting yourself pampered this festive season? Delicious results with minimal effort! It’s win win, really! 🙂
