In this forever changing weather (read more here), I have found a new interest in my life.. And that interest is called 'SCARVES". Yes people, the more the merrier it is! There are hundreds of ways to tie a scarf, use it as a belt, a bandana, a head wrap, a cover-up, a sarong and the list goes on..

It would not be wrong to say that 'different ways to wear different scarves' may get featured on the blog in near future! Stay tuned for that! And I am sure you would like it.

Scarves - Here I come..!!!

On this post -

A windy afternoon. It was sunny (thank god), but quite cold too. The hair were in full motion and so was I.

Husband acting as a photographer, later got a change to get clicked with his muse.. Score!!

Cheers

On New Year 2013

A big Hello to all. I have so much to talk about, however, so many other important things (like work, shopping and cooking) eat up all my time lately! But I sure do take time out to blog once in a while.

I miss being regular on Blogosphere, I seriously do, and I hope so do you all and I would definitely keep trying on blogging more frequently, and that’s a gentle-woman’s promise!

So on new year, We (along with our few friends), went to Flagstaff and Grand Canyon to spend the New Year playing in the snow. Yes, another road trip. And do I even need to mention that we had a gala time there! This was my first ever experience in snow, as I am from New Delhi and it does not snow there, well neither it does here in Phoenix, so we traveled few hours to enjoy the other side of the weather.

We stayed there for few days and what a fun road trip it was. Travel is on the cards this year too, I guess. 2013 started with a 'Bang' for me. As we traveled  had fun, ate delicious food, laughed, joked, chatted, played in snow and did I mention – I bought a car for myself? Yeah, right! That’s the Breaking News today. I bought my own car. I was dying to share this news, by the way. And more than that, I am waiting to drive it, as I have yet to get it’s delivery. Waiting.. Waiting..

January is one of my favorite months (besides July and May, my birthday and marriage months) because it’s my husband’s birthday month!!! Yayyy… and his birthday is due in about 10 days. I am super-duper excited about it and have already started collecting gifts for him. I hope he likes it all. Can’t wait to celebrate the day, on which my loving Husband came in to this world (for me).

Well, that’s pretty much summarizes all the current news in my life.

On other note, these days I find myself in the ‘excited’ mode all the time! Be it going to work, chatting, watching movie, cooking, eating, shopping, driving.. basically everything! I can say, I am excited about ‘Life’. Hope that’s not stupid, but I seriously am! I find everything nice and peaceful in life. I suddenly feel so content! I can say this is the best time of my life so far and I pray it never ends! Thank you God for everything :)

With those words, I would leave you with few pictures of my trip to Flagstaff and Grand Canyon. Enjoy.. And may God bless you all.

You're Beautiful!

Sometimes people are beautiful.

Not in looks.

Not in what they say.

Just in what they are.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.

You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance.

“You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life."

Get off that scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life.

It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!

“The human body is the best work of art.” 

Think of nature! Nature didn't need a surgery or an operation to be beautiful. It just was!

To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they’re blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul. Your shortcomings then dim by comparison. The people who care about you are willing to let you be imperfect and beautiful, too.

I think happiness is what makes you pretty. Period. Happy people are beautiful. They become like a mirror and they reflect that happiness. No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

When I lay my head on the pillow at night I can say I was a decent person today. That's when I feel beautiful.

Crying is for plain women. Pretty women go shopping :)

At last, I would like to say, a fit and healthy body - that is the best fashion statement ever!!!

Cheers

Block the Colors

Hello all my Lovelies..Happy Monday!! Hope you all are great and your weekend went quite well.

This is what I wore when I went for shopping this weekend. I simply love this color combination - Mint Green and Blue. I feel these colors are made for each other.

My weekend was awesome as it included some shopping.. and some coffee.. and yummy food..!

Actually, it was love at first sight for these sandals. I love how the vibrant color match my jeans.

Bonus: Last pic from the Coffee Shop, with my Iced Cafe Mocha :)
