Secrets of Simone's flawless skin and gorgeous hair. Her daily beauty regime:
I don't follow any strict beauty regime. Fortunately, I am genetically blessed with good skin and hair and  I have to do very little to maintain it that way. Cleansing and moisturizing my skin is one skin care routine, that I never miss.  However, I am very careful about the products that I use and never compromise on quality. I always choose the best  products and never settle for cheap stuff, as this can prove disastrous for the skin in the long run.  And that  goes for hair as well. For my hair, I pick only high-quality Garnier products that have natural ingredients and are devoid of  harmful chemicals.

Her hair care routine:
You might not believe me, but I don't have any special hair-care routine. Due to my hectic time schedule, I don't get enough time to fuss over it. The only thing I use is Garnier Hair colour and Ultra Doux Shampoo and conditioner. Ultra Doux has a very mild range of shampoos and conditioners with natural ingredients like figs, olive oil, walnut, lemon and other such things which not only nourish your hair but also give it the required lustre, volume and fullness to your hair.

The role of diet  on skin and hair:
I believe that what you eat always reflects on your skin and hair. I make it a point to always include a lot of fruits and green vegetables in my diet. Staying well-hydrated also helps. One vegetable that I recommend is cucumber and eat loads of it during the day. As our food mainly has lots of carbohydrates and proteins which are essentially acidic in nature, cucumber with its alkaline nature and almost zero calories sort of balances it.

Her diet regimen:
I don't believe in following a strict diet regime and eat what I feel like, but sensibly and in a right proportion and I do maintain healthy balance between healthy and junk food.  I love to gorge on a pizza or a burger once in a while.

To go from drab to fab in seconds:
Use a voluminizing mascara. Its effects are miraculous!

Simone's idea of de-stressing:
Reading!  It's a great stress-buster. The world of books mesmerizes me and transports me to an entirely different land and time. In fact, I devour everything -- Fiction, non-fiction, chick-lit, biographies, history, anthropology and so on and so forth....

Simone's favorite quote:
Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans by John Lennon

    Make washing your face when you wake up and before you sleep a habit.
    I was my face with a scrub, it doesn't have to be expensive.
    It scrubs off the dead skin. at night i apply vaseline on my face to hydrate it and in the morning i use clean and clear.
    Its in a little purple and white bottle that helps get rid of and prevent pimples.

    If you do this regularly it'll start to go away within a week. i do this everyday and night. i've never had a pimple.

    her favorite quotes---
    1. "Don't compare your life to others...You have no idea what their journey is all about."

    2. "What other people think of you is none of your business"

    3. "Time is the coin of your life. Be careful how you spend it, lest someone else spend it for you."

    And this is the hardest one, but the person who masters it is truly remarkable:
    4. "Forgive everyone, everything!"

  6. My recommended skincare regimen:
    1)get 8-9 Hours of Sleep every night
    2)Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
    3)Always wear sunblock/sunscreen when going outside,make sure it has an SPF of 50 or higher
    4)Moisturize your face 2x a day.In the Morning/AM,use a moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher.At night,use a moisturizer with Retinol or antioxidants
    5)For dark circles,use a cream with Vitamin K.Hylexin and Strivectin are two very expensive products with Vitamin K.

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them. So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker. 

Home remedies for common cold

Common cold is a very common malady which affects people during monsoons. (Also see the post Beauty and body care in monsoon for a monsoon beauty regimen.) It can be caused by any one of more than 200 viruses. Normally it is confined to the nose and throat although the virus can infect the larynx and lungs. It is said that there is no particular cure for colds, they are naturally relieved within a week. Treatment is just an attempt to relieve its symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, sore-throat and congestion. Paracetamol tablets are generally taken to get relief from these symptoms.

Beating stress – some tips

It is very difficult to come across a happy, contented face in a crowd these days. Stress has become a way of life with people these days. Sure, we all need to be a little tense once in a blue moon. After all it acts as a positive force and helps us get things done. But when tension becomes a habit with us and we are unable to cope up with it, we say we are undergoing stress. Some people are simply born more tense than others. Children of over-anxious parents generally grow up to be more anxious than the others.

For a good night's sleep

 Everyone of us, at one time or the other has been pestered by sleep problems. Sleeplessness could be transient and short-term or chronic. When it becomes a chronic problem it takes the form of insomnia and requires special attention. The first noticeable signs of poor sleeping habits are dark circles under the eyes pale skin, hair loss. Getting enough sleep is a must. Without proper sleep, your mind does not work as clearly and efficiently. You feel drained physically and mentally. Exactly how much you need to sleep depends on your own individual internal system. While some can do with 4-5 hours; most of us need 7 to 9 hours of sleep. But instead of reaching for a pill or a glass of wine, it’s wise to try out these time-honoured remedies and lifestyle changes.
