Hot Tip | To Buy The Perfect Gift


1. Think Smart:

Never ask the person you want to gift what he/she wants as it sort of ruins the surprise. Try to learn as much as you can about the likes and dislikes of the person, make a list of brands, color, scent etc that the person likes and choose a gift accordingly. Also, if you already know what the person really needs at the moment, go for that.

2. Make a budget:

Make a budget and stick to it. Going blindly for an expensive gift isn't a good idea.Invest your valuable time and money on the right gift.

3. Trust your choice:

While you are shopping for a gift, make you mind before buying do not buy just sake of gifting.

How to Get Beautiful, Glowing Skin.


Wash your face at night


Over the course of the day, makeup, dirt, and oil build up on your face. Make cleansing your skin part of your bedtime routine.Use makeup remover. Not only does this prevent it from clogging up your pores and causing breakouts while you sleep, it also stops you from smearing bacteria on your pillow — where it can get into your skin night after night.Use a gentle soap. Remember that you want to clean your skin, not completely strip it of all oils — if it feels tight and dry after washing, you're using something too strong.
Avoid the eye area; the skin around the eye can be too delicate for most cleansers.
Rinse off by splashing water on your face. Using a washcloth or rag to roughly wipe your skin clean can irritate it more. Instead, bend your face over the sink, cup your hands together, and bring up small amounts of water to splash over your face. About 10 splashes should do it.
Pat dry. Don't roughly rub your skin dry with a towel. Instead, dry it with small, gentle pats or let it air dry.

1. NEED TO ORDER WITH CARE :

Ask for dishes that are steamed, grilled or boiled instead of the deep fried or sauteed ones. " Skip foods with creamy sauces and gravy. You Can also ask the chef for customization.Ask for pizza without cheese baked instead of fried vegetables, a yogurt or any other low calorie topping,"

2. GO FOR APPETIZERS:

Go for an appetizer instead of the main course. That way, the serving size would be smaller. When ordering from the mains, if you find the portion still big, cut the portion in two, get it to take home.

3. PICK LOW CAL SALAD: 

Its not as if everything listed in the salad section would be healthy. While ordering a salad, skip the ones thet have cheese and cream. Also ask for lighter dressings such as vinegar, lemon, olive oil etc.

4. SKIP HIGH-CAL COCKTAILS:

Cocktails such as daiquiris and margaritas are quite high on calories (Around 300-350 calories).

5. MIND YOUR PORTIONS:

Do not over load your plate with food, no matter how tempted you are.
