Retail therapy is known as a means of shopping which instantly makes one feel happy. Once you have enough money to splurge on yourself something, you decide to to go shopping. Material wealth indeed brings one happiness but this joy and cheerfulness is only short lived. But why is that, you may ask? You might be thinking about a new watch, shoes or bag you want to buy, but as soon as you acquire it and use it for a few days, the pleasure and enjoyment of having it starts to fade away.
Once you use your new dress, shoes or bag, you start getting used to the product and thus your level of satisfaction associated with the item starts to decrease which in turn makes you want to go out and buy something new. This vicious cycle repeats itself over and over again from time to time.
This kind of addiction is unhealthy and the problem stems directly from us trying to buy happiness. Unfortunately, happiness is not something which can be bought. As a human, you can live with all the luxuries in the world and still be unhappy. Money does not buy happiness, it only helps to relieve stress and makes life simpler.
Interestingly, while the happiness derived from a purchase depletes over time, the same amount of happiness or even more can be obtained from travelling which does not deplete over time. This is because we can retain the beautiful memories we have made on our travels.
New purchases only make us happy for a short period of time, it does not maintain happiness for longer periods.
While on the other hand, travelling incorporates experiences of different cultures, foods, exotic locations, languages which is far greater than owning material possessions. Travel experiences are enriching and give us a lot to learn while purchasing goods does not expand our view on life. The memories we make on our travels are most cherished and loved by us and definitely make us happier when we think about them.
Being disconnected from our usual surroundings ends the monotony of our day to day routine even if it is for a short while but the happiness obtained is for a lifetime.
Experiences like these connect us to individuals which material possessions for sure can not. This is because whilst travelling, we spend more time with our friends and family which brings us closer to them. Book a baking class, do an extreme sport or learn new skills with your loved ones while on this new experience.
Hard earned money spent on travel will not only bring happiness but long term satisfaction to you as well.
This Eid wasn’t like any other Pakistanis or even Muslims the world over have celebrated before. Because of the pandemic COVID 19 and the PIA flight crash, Pakistan was especially in mourning. In such a situation there was no way of being sure if Pakistan celebrities will be celebrating Eid or not.

In an Eid show last year, Danish Taimoor and Ayeza Khan had shared just how happening their Eid has been ever since they got married. This time around, they were limited to their house and meeting close family because of COVID 19 restrictions.

Hira Mani usually keeps her Eid festivities simple otherwise too but this time around it seems she decided not to celebrate Eid because of the present circumstances.

There are a lot of Pakistani celebrities who chose not to post pictures on Eid and only shared their thoughts on Eid along with an Eid greeting for their fans.
There are so many people in this country who would love to be actors yet they have no idea where to start from. Many of the top Pakistani actresses did not plan to start a career in showbiz and there are others who always knew that they wanted to an actress. It is definitely impressive how far these actresses have come after years of hard work. Even though they have no relatives in the industry who could have helped them out, they were lucky enough to get some good mentors. Entering the showbiz industry is not easy nowadays since there is so much competition but it is even more difficult to retain a reputable position in the industry. That obviously entails talent, hard work, and dedication.
Here is how the top Pakistani actresses started their showbiz journey.
[lwptoc]
Saba Qamar
Saba Qamar landed in the field of acting purely by chance. She went with her mother’s friend to watch the shooting of a Pakistan Day special drama. As it turned out, the heroine failed to make it to the shooting. That is when the director asked her to perform the leading role. Saba read the lines given to her and was surprised that performing came effortlessly to her. Everyone in the room clapped when she delivered her first few dialogues and gradually she realized that this is what she was meant to do. She belongs to a Syed family in which it was strictly forbidden for girls to work in showbiz. When she decided to take this step, she faced a lot of opposition from her family. She started working in 2004 and she made sure that she proved to everyone that showbiz was a decent profession.
Mahira Khan
Mahira Khan started her showbiz career as a VJ when she was offered the chance to do so while she was still attending college. Mahira always wanted to be an actor but she was not offered an acting project at the beginning of her career. When she got her big break even then she did not realize just how demanding acting was. She was blessed with some great mentors and with a lot of hard work she managed to make it big in the industry.
Hania Aamir
Hania Aamir is the most sought-after actress in Pakistan right now. She was never even planning to start a career in showbiz when she got a call to do a supporting role in the film Janaan. Hania was discovered through tik tok and once she started acting she realized it came so naturally to her. When she performed for the first time, the portrayal came so effortlessly, and later on, she got so many other offers for dramas and films that she could not say no to such wonderful opportunities. Hania has definitely been really lucky in this regard and she has obviously worked hard to get where she is today. She enjoys her work and even though she never realized it, she was definitely born to be an actor.
Kinza Hashmi
Kinza Hashmi is also one of those young actresses who started her career in showbiz when she was only 16 years old. She always wanted to be a singer and never thought that she will end up being an actress someday. She was discovered by a director when she was walking on the ramp and even then she was really sure that she couldn’t act. Once she started acting, she came across such mentors who taught her so much, and now she enjoys acting so much that sometimes she stays on the set long after her work is done.
Ayeza Khan
Ayeza Khan was a tomboy while growing up but once she started realizing that she was a girl who could dress up and pose for the camera, her personality changed altogether. As a child, she was on the cover of one of the most popular children’s magazine at the time. When she was in 8th grade she participated in a beauty contest, Akif Illyas did her makeover at that time and told her she looked like the actress Reema. This was the first time that Ayeza got professional make-up done and was in the limelight. Her actual career in showbiz started in 2007 when she was given the opportunity to star in a television commercial next to Reema Khan, someone she had always idealized. That is where the journey started and Ayeza Khan made sure she worked hard from there on that is why she got this far.
Yumna Zaidi is recognized as one of the most versatile and powerful actresses of the Pakistani drama industry. The story of how she entered the industry and how she made it this far is really interesting. Affan Waheed was her older sister’s class fellow, he was the one who played a pivotal role in giving Yumna her big break. It was eventually Yumna’s persistence and talent which made her so successful in the field. She had never imagined that she would be so successful but she is also proud of the fact that viewers love her performance and not her look or glamour.
Iqra Aziz
Iqra Aziz has managed to make her presence felt in a short span of time. She was always fond of putting on make-up and putting up a show for her a family. Initially, she started her career with a television commercial. Although she was really eager to work in showbiz when she reached the sets of her first project she experienced stage fright and she thought she won’t be able to do it. Her older sister was a big support for her, she was the one who bucked her up and gave her the confidence she needed to carry on.
Mehwish Hayat
Mehwish Hayat started her journey in showbiz when she was only 8 years old. Her mother was a well-known drama actor at the time and she was the one who introduced her daughter to the world of showbiz. In an emotional post, Mehwish Hayat summed up her journey and acknowledged the efforts made by her mother. Her mother gave up her own career to further Mehwish’s career in showbiz. Since then, Mehwish Hayat has surely worked really hard to make such a big name for herself.
Kubra Khan actually started her career as a model from London where she was based. She got her first major break when she was asked to play a role in one of the most hit Pakistani films Na Maloom Afraad. She was a really good friend of Fatima Khan (Ahmed Ali Butt’s wife) who played a major role in helping Kubra make up her mind to work in Pakistan. After Kubra made her first appearance she got so many good offers that she just couldn’t refuse them and there was no looking back after that.
Sajal Aly
Sajal Aly is one of the biggest stars of the Pakistani drama industry yet she is also one of those actors who never really ventured into the showbiz industry because she was passionate about acting. Sajal revealed in an interview with Dawn that after her father left and got married to someone else, her mother was not able to run the finances and that is when she decided to work as a brand promotions agent in a mall. She auditioned for acting only because she was in dire need of a job and she wasn’t even accepted the first time! Who would have known that one day this young girl whose sole purpose was to support her family financially will end up being such a big star? Here are some excerpts from her interview.
Alizeh Shah
Alizeh Shah is one of the youngest Pakistani actresses yet it has been many years since she stepped into showbiz. She was only 6 years old when she did her first commercial and when she a little older, she decided she wanted to act as well.

Sarah Khan
Sarah Khan is another Pakistani actress who is liked by many. Like many other actresses on this list, she also did not have to struggle very hard to get her big break. Sarah Khan used to do voiceovers for television when the HUM team spotted her and cast her in the project Bari Apa. After that, she took a break for two years since she thought it required a lot of patience. Later on, however, she realized that this is what she really wanted to do.
Hira Mani
Hira Mani is one of those few actresses who entered the showbiz industry after having her children. She was offered a great opportunity to host the morning show by HUM but she left it because her son was too young. After both her children were slightly older, she decided to sign her first drama. Hira Mani rightly considers the only actress who joined the industry after having two kids and managed to make it big in it. She also gives her husband a lot of credit for supporting her throughout.
Aiman Khan & Minal Khan
Aiman Khan & Minal Khan started their showbiz careers at the same time. Their first project together was a television commercial and they went on to do commercials together. They also started working in dramas once they were a little older. Minal Khan was the first one to get an acting project and later on Aiman Khan too got many acting projects.
For Aiman and Minal being in the limelight came naturally since they started at a young age. They always had the support of their parents.
Sonya Hussyn
Sonya Hussyn is another leading actress of the Pakistani entertainment industry who landed into acting purely by chance. Sonya was always a confident young girl who used to love hosting while playing with her neighbors. When she had just started college, there were auditions being held for talk show hosts. She also participated in them but did not get a chance because she was too young. Later on, she got a call for her first acting project after the director watched her audition tape. Even then Sonya was apprehensive because she was sure that she could not act. Her father however asked her to give it a try and then there was no looking back for her! Sonya herself found out only after performing that she had a natural knack for acting.
Sonya Hussyn studied to be a physiologist and she wanted to pursue a career in the field, not knowing that she will end up making a big name in a completely different career altogether.

The male actors of Pakistan are just as talented as their female counterparts. Some of them were so passionate about acting that even after getting their technical university degrees, they decided to be full-time actors. There were others who landed in the profession purely by chance but ended up really liking the experience. It is always fun to know where these iconic actors started their journey.
Here is how the top Pakistani actors started their showbiz journey.
Noman Ijaz
Noman Ijaz is one of the most legendary actors of Pakistan. Although he has a degree in Law, he chose to start acting. He got his first break when he played a short role in Nusrat Thakur’s drama. He also calls Nusrat Thakur his mentor. For Noman Ijaz acting was always something he was passionate about. He pursued this career because of this passion. He learned from his seniors and worked really hard on the craft.
In an interview, he also shared that when he proposed to his now-wife, her parents were not happy with his career choice and as a result of that, he ended up doing a 9 to 5 job and pursued acting at the same time.
Humayun Saeed
Humayun Saeed is another phenomenal actor and producer who has given the drama viewers the most entertaining dramas and films. He is one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry because of his impressive standing as an actor and a producer. Interestingly enough, Humayun Saeed never really planned to join the industry. He had a steady job as a manager in a firm when he was offered a modeling job. He decided to take the offer just for fun not knowing that he will end up leaving his job and pursuing acting as a permanent career. Later on, he stepped into production and there was no looking back after that!
Bilal Abbas Khan
Bilal Abbas Khan is currently one of the most sought-after actors. His father always wanted him to act but it took him a little while to realize that he actually wanted to go into performing arts. When he started his bachelor’s degree in business it was then that he realized that he wanted to be an actor. He joined NAPA and although it wasn’t easy managing both college and NAPA training but his passion for acting made him do so. Bilal even mentioned in an interview that he made Dubsmash only because he wanted someone to notice him and give him a chance. Bilal also shared that he was never after fame, he only wanted to be in this field and do his best.
Imran Abbas
Imran Abbas is a really sensitive person who actually never really planned to be part of showbiz. Ever since he was a little boy, he liked to write his feelings down. So he was always a writer. As he grew older, he was more interested in sketching and painting. When he was in NCA he loved to sing in university functions. He landed in acting purely by chance when he went to see the shooting for one of Reema Khan’s projects. He was truly in awe of her and was a big fan. That is when he was offered his first project and that is how his journey started.
Muneeb Butt
Muneeb Butt is another actor who never really planned a career in acting but it hit him all of a sudden that he wanted to be in showbiz. It was when he went to watch a commercial shoot that he wished to be a celebrity. His family was supportive of him and it took him a few months and many different auditions to finally get an acting project. Interestingly enough after this project, he was not offered any work in the field for years. Muneeb considers this a blessing in disguise since he was able to finish his bachelor’s degree in the meantime.
Adnan Siddiqui never planned to enter showbiz. Like any other young man, he started his career with a more ‘serious’ profession. His first job was at a bank, one which he did not enjoy at all. Soon after, he decided to join an advertising agency since the job at the bank did not match his temperament. That is when he was offered his first modeling project. It was Anwar Maqsood who asked him to start acting. Adnan calls Anwar Maqsood his mentor and even calls him mamu.
Fahad Mustafa’s father was a really famous actor therefore acting was in his genes. However, he had to struggle a lot to get as far as he has come now. When he started doing his morning show, he thought that his acting career was over but then Jeeto Pakistan made him a household name and everything changed.
Faysal Qureshi
There is a solid reason why Faisal Qureshi is such a phenomenal actor. His mother and father both were associated with the showbiz industry. He started performing in theatre and dramas when he was only 8 years old. For him that learning experience added a lot to his expertise as an actor. He also went through a really struggling period after his father passed away and he had to work to earn for his family. This was a difficult period for him and now he feels relieved that he managed to make it this far.
Junaid Khan
Junaid Khan has an Engineering degree in mining and he has also done an MBA but his first love was always music. He pursued this interest in singing never knowing that one day he will quit his other job and opt for not just singing but also acting as a full-time profession. Just when Junaid Khan started getting popular as a singer, he was unsure as to which career path to choose since he also had a good office job. That is when he was offered his first acting project and from then on he decided to pursue acting and singing as a career.
Ahsan Khan
Ahsan Khan is one of those few popular television actors right now who actually started their career with films. He started his career at a really young age since he was always passionate about acting. He did not have to go through the struggle which some of the other actors went through, he got good projects right in the beginning and he obviously worked really hard to get where he is today.

Although it is essential to drink atleast 8 glasses of water during the day to stay hydrated, there are many other ways you can keep yourself refreshed throughout the day.
Have lemon water (Nimbu Paani)
Lemon water aka nimbu paani is a staple drink in most Pakistani households. It contains a lot of vitamin C which helps in flushing out toxins, helps with digestion, boosts immune system and cleanses the liver as well.
Have watermelons
Watermelons are made up of 92 per cent water and eight per cent fruit which makes them the perfect substitute for water. The carotenoid content present in watermelons also helps prevent cell damage, fight deadly diseases and helps regulate blood pressure and aids in recovering. Watermelons are also a good source of potassium, vitamin A and vitamin C.
Incorporate leafy greens in your diet
Leafy green vegetables are packed with water content especially lettuce. Lettuce contains 96 per cent water which is so much more than watermelons. The great part about lettuce is that it can be included in almost any main course. Apart from lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes are an excellent source of hydration as well. You can also mix all the ingredients together to make a delicious salad as well.
Have some hot soup
People enjoy having soup in the cold weather as it keeps them warm. It’s a great source of food intake when you want to skip on a heavy meal as well as nutritious and easy to make.
Say no to salty, fried foods
Avoid salty, fried foods and instead opt for lighter healthier options. Salty foods can badly dehydrate the body and make you feel thirsty really quickly. The human body only needs a minimum amount of salt per day which can easily be acquired through consumption of vegetables and fruits.
Ditch snacks such as crisps, crackers and sweets as they are heavy on carbs and contain little to no water content. Try binge-eating on healthier snacks such as seasonal fruits or make them into smoothies.
Drink herbal tea
Herbal tea keeps the inside of your body warm and cleans your digestive system as well. Herbal teas are also good for your skin as they keep skin clear and hydrated. You can have a cup of herbal tea after your dinner to help digest the food, it also helps one sleep better.
Keep your outside hydrated
Don’t use makeup everyday unless you absolutely need to, try doing minimal makeup. Take care of your skin by moisturizing it daily with the help of sun screens which can keep you fresh and hydrated.
Stop washing your face too much
Washing your face frequently during the day can strip the skin of it’s moisture and cause it to produce more oil thus actually make it more dehydrated, rather than the other way around. Our skin needs it’s own moisture to stay hydrated. Wash your face only twice a day to clear out dirt and other impurities accumulated throughout the day. If your face gets dry quickly use a moisturizer to keep it fresh and dewy.

Sometimes there are such problems in relationships that even with all the love you feel for someone, you find it difficult to keep the relationship growing. In such times, one or both the partners would be desperately looking for ways to save the relationship from dying. Sometimes a breakup hurts more when you know that you are meant to be with someone but the circumstances are such that you are headed towards a breakup. If someone wants to save a relationship that deserves saving then there are many different ways to go about it.
Here are some things you can actively do in order to save your relationship from a breakup.
Figure Out What The Actual Issues Are
The first step towards saving your relationship would be to figure out what the actual issues are. Why do you think you are headed towards a breakup? While thinking about the actual issues causing the problems, make sure you are neutral and fair.
Patience Is The Key
When you set out to save a dying relationship, make sure that you do not do with an angry mindset. If there are already issues in the relationship, it would mean that your patience is already being tested. Therefore, it is really important for you to understand that in order to make productive efforts, you have to start with patience knowing that it is not going to be easy.
Saving Relationships Is Teamwork
One person cannot save a relationship; it will take both the partners involved to work consciously towards developing a healthier relationship. If one person wants to save the relationship and the other one does not even want to stay then chances are that no matter how hard you try, the breakup will ultimately happen. Make sure your partner also wants to save the relationship so that your efforts don’t go to waste.
Work On The Issues
Once you have figured out what the actual issues are and your partner wants to work on them too, get into action immediately. Do not expect things to change first but start working towards resolving the problems immediately.
Stop The Blame Game
Most often when relationships are on the verge of a breakup, the partners are usually blaming each other. If you want to save your relationship stop the blame game because it will only widen the gap and will not help rescue the relationship.
Hold Yourself Responsible
If you have been blaming your partner for everything but still want to save the relationship, chances are that you too might have made some mistakes. It is not easy holding oneself responsible but it needs to be done so that you can share the responsibility and see things for what they are. Most importantly, this is the only way you can fix the problems which might be because of your irrational behavior or actions.
Give Each Other Space
Sometimes couples need to spend a lot of time with each other in order to strengthen relationships. Absence can make a heart grow fonder. Let them miss you, do something other than spending time with your partner, and make sure that they feel like you are giving them space, maybe that is all they need!
Spend Quality Time Together
When it comes to spending time together, quality should always be put before quantity. If you are spending a lot of time together but it is not benefiting your relationship than spend lesser time but make the most of it. Make sure this time is spent doing what both of you love. Sometimes a heart-to-heart conversation can do wonders as well.
Gratitude Is A Must
Make a conscious effort to appreciate every little thing about your relationship and your partner. Be thankful for those small gestures which you might have been taking for granted. Gratitude can change so much in a relationship.
Sharing Your Thoughts & Feelings
When you get together to spend quality time with your partner, make sure that both of you dedicate a few minutes to sharing with each other how you feel. This will help you and your partner understand each other.
Be Supportive & Understanding
When your partner shares his/her thoughts and feelings with you, make sure that you are supportive. Try to understand their point of view even when it does not make sense to you. Every individual has different needs and ideas; if you want your relationship to flourish you will have to accept your partner for who he/she is.
Believe In Your Partner
Even though things might look grim but when your partner tells you that he/she also wants to save the relationship, believe them. Both of you can only work towards a better relationship if you are willing to give each other a chance knowing that both of you want to make this relationship work.
Don’t Be Judgmental
Whenever you have a conversation with your partner about different issues make sure you have an open mind. Also, stop judging everything your partner does or says because that will create more misunderstandings.
Lower Your Expectations
Sometimes we get disappointed so often because we are expecting a lot from the other person. When these expectations are not met, they lead to fights between couples. If you really want to save your relationship from a breakup then lower your expectations. If you do so, it will change the way you look at things.
Distract Yourself
If you focus too much on the relationship, you are bound to get more anxious. If you get anxious, you will naturally have less patience. It would be great if you can distract yourself with things that bring you happiness. If your partner wants more time from you then obviously you do not need to do this.
Stop Over-Thinking
If you are in a relationship that you want to save but there are too many issues, there is a big chance that you are thinking about the problems all the time. This over-thinking will lead to distress and you will make scenarios that do not exist. Try not to think all the time about it.
Be Honest About Your Fears
It is really important, to be honest with your partner about your fears. Tell them that you are scared of losing them and want to save this relationship. Do not let your ego stop you!
Talk To Mutual Friends
If you have mutual friends who want the best for you, it will be a great idea to get them involved. They can perhaps guide you since they might be able to see things from a different perspective. Friends can help in so many ways, don’t be hesitant to lean on them.
Make Your Partner Feel Special
Even though your relationship might be going through a tough phase, your partner would still love for you to do something special for them. This could help you two get closer.
Go On A Holiday
Sometimes a change of scenery can do wonders. Plan a holiday even if it is a short one and this might be the break you and your partner need in order to start afresh.
If you want to save your relationship get into action today. Don’t let anyone or anything stand in your way.

Step 1: Log in to the Quotex Trading Platform
First, sign in to your Quotex account. Once you’re inside, you’ll be taken to the main interface of the trading website, where you can view live charts of different financial assets. The design is clean and intuitive, especially suitable for a platform for beginners.
Step 2: Pick What You Want to Use
At the top of the screen, you’ll see a list of available assets — currencies, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and more. Choose one that you want to analyze. For example, if you’re interested in trading EUR/USD, select it from the asset list. This selection will bring up the real-time chart for that asset on the binary platform.
Step 3: Set the Time Frame
Each candle on the chart represents a certain time interval, such as 5 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes. On this trading platform binary, you can change the time frame by clicking on the time icon. Shorter time frames are typically used for quick trades, while longer time frames give you a broader market overview.
Step 4: Understand the Candlestick Patterns
Quotex uses candlestick charts by default. Each candle represents price movement within your selected time frame. Green candles indicate that the price closed higher than it opened (bullish), while red candles show a price decrease (bearish).
Here’s how to interpret them:
Body: The thick section shows the opening and closing prices.
Wick: The thin lines above and below the body show the highest and lowest prices.
Pattern: Candlestick shapes and sequences (like Doji, Hammer, Engulfing) give clues to possible future price movements.
This chart format is common across any trading platform broker and is vital to understanding market behavior.
Step 5: Add Indicators and Tools
Technical indicators help you analyze trends, momentum, and potential reversals. On Quotex, click the indicators icon to choose from tools like:
Moving Averages (MA) – Show the overall trend.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) – Helps detect overbought or oversold conditions.
MACD – Tracks momentum and trend strength.
Use these tools wisely and avoid overloading your chart. These are crucial elements discussed in any quality trading platform tutorial.
Step 6: Draw Trend Lines and Mark Levels
Manually drawing trend lines helps you identify the direction of the market. On Quotex, use the drawing tools to sketch lines across price lows (uptrend) or highs (downtrend).
Also, mark support and resistance levels—areas where prices often bounce or get rejected. These levels are great reference points for setting entry and exit positions, especially in binary options trading.
Step 7: Identify Chart Patterns
Common chart patterns like triangles, head and shoulders, or double bottoms provide signals of market reversals or continuations. Quotex allows you to visualize these patterns clearly, even if you’re using the trading website mobile version.
Practicing how to spot these patterns is essential for website trading beginners looking to gain consistency in their trades.
Step 8: Make a Trade Based on Your Analysis
After completing your technical analysis, use your findings to make a trade decision. On Quotex, simply select the direction (Up or Down), input your investment amount, and choose the expiration time.
Remember, while technical analysis improves your trading accuracy, it doesn’t guarantee outcomes—discipline and money management are just as important.
Reading Quotex charts becomes easier with practice and a structured approach. Whether you’re on a desktop or using a website trading app, applying these steps will help you make informed trading decisions.
For those using a website trading beginners platform, Quotex offers a safe and simple environment to learn technical analysis without feeling overwhelmed.

There is no hard and fast rule to applying or having fun with makeup. But following a free pointers can elevate your makeup game to the next level and make things easier for you and save heaps of time. Check out our list of makeup do’s and don’ts for a smooth and easy everyday look:
Start with a clean face
Wash your face thoroughly and properly before applying any makeup to it. A clean canvas allows for smooth and easy application of makeup. Use the CTM routine for a flawless base to apply your makeup to.
Foundation
Try your best to match the foundation to your skin tone. A foundation too light will make you look like a clown whereas a darker one will make you stand out and not impressive at all. While buying a foundation, it is better to do a wear test by asking for samples from the makeup store and leaving it on for several hours. The best results are only seen once the foundation oxidizes into your skin.
Concealer
Don’t use concealer as an eye primer, it’s too oily and the makeup will slide off your eyes. Concealer is meant to be worn under your eyes to hide dark circles and brighten your eyes. Additionally, it is meant to be worn to cover blemishes, redness and any skin problems one might have. Instead use an eyeshadow primer, your makeup will last longer and provide better end results.
Mascara
Don’t pump your mascara wand in and out to get more product, as this causes air to go inside and dry it out, and will fill it with bacteria which is harmful for the eyelashes. Instead,swirl it around inside the tube to get more product out. Apply starting from the roots in a zig zag motion so the product spreads evenly on the lashes. This way you avoid clumping the lashes aswell and they look more natural.
Eyebrows
Eyebrows are an important part of your face but often overlooked by women. Doing your brows properly and using the right amount and shade of product can elevate your whole look. Brush through your brows and fill in any sparse areas but don’t go too dark or too light, try using an exact color which is the same as your brows. This will help define them and give you a chiseled, well made look.
Lipstick
Don’t overdraw your lips way too much. There are ways of giving the appearance of plumper lips, but overdrawing your lips too much will make them look like they have been stung by a bee. Slightly overline only your cupids bow to give the illusion of fuller lips. In contrast, you can also highlight the cupids bow which will also give the impression of overdrawn lips.
Brushes
It’s easy to neglect cleaning the makeup brushes you use everyday to apply products to your face. Unless you schedule a time each week to clean them, you’ll never even think about your makeup brushes until it’s time to apply your products. But, using dirty makeup brushes can introduce bacteria to your skin causing problems. Instead of taking the risk, set aside time on the weekend to thoroughly wash your brushes. Although, cleaning brushes or makeup sponges does take time, it takes away dirty products and the next time you apply makeup, it glides on easily and smoothly.
Preparing your skin for the big day might seem like a daunting task but once you focus on getting a routine you’ll pull through much easier and swiftly. Here’s a guide on how to prep your skin for your big day:
Hydrate yourself
Drink at least eight glasses of water a day and set a diet which contains fruits, vegetables and nutrious foods containing Vitamin C which will help skin being hydrated and glowing. Include foods rich in biotin, omega 3, Vitamin E, etc.
Set a good skincare routine
Exfoliate, cleanse, moisturize and use toners all over your body and face regularly for glowing skin. Toning the skin will help restore pH balance, reduce the appearance of pores and refresh your skin after you cleanse. Use natural, organic products as synthetic chemicals can cause skin to dry out and cause skin problems such as acne.
Get monthly facials from a good salon
Getting monthly facials before your wedding day from a good salon can enhance the effects of hydrated and glowing skin. If it is not possible for you to get facials from a salon, you can always do DIY facials at home. Make sure not to get facial from a salon a week before the wedding as the sensitivity of the time period can cause your skin to breakout.
Incorporate dry body brushing in your routine
Dry body brushing means using a dry brush to massage and exfoliate around the body especially on the legs, thighs and inner thighs to remove cellulite, ingrown hairs, dry and dead skin, eliminating toxins and unclogging pores. Dry body brushing can be done two to three times a week before taking a shower and does not even take that much effort or time.
Get manicure and pedicure for the hands and feet
Book your appointment for a manicure and pedicure to get glowing, beautiful hands and feet for your big day. Make sure to also regularly moisturize your hands and feet throughout the day to prevent calluses, dry skin, roughness and cracked heels especially on the feet.
Get adequate amount of sleep
Last but not the least, you need to get a good nights sleep before your wedding as you don’t want to show dark circles on puffy eyes especially on your big day. Not having a good sleep ruins your daily routine and causes problems in the metabolic rate. Getting a good sleep can be difficult especially with the dance practice sessions and all but try and sneak in a nap for an hour or two.
Marriage is full of many ups and downs, adventures, and incredible memories with the person you love. “A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” – Dave Meurer.
The reason behind unhappy marriages is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. The great marriages are partnerships. Husband and wife relationships are like the relationship of Tom and Jerry. Though they are teasing and fighting, but can’t live without each other.

Try to avoid making any negative comments about his thoughts and opinions.
Affection
Many husbands simply want to experience more affection. You can show him affection by different ways such as: holding his hand in public, leaving a love message on his voicemail massaging his shoulders, showing that you care about him through actions of fondness will touch his heart. Try different ways to demonstrate how much you care about him by being warm. Simple things you can do include telling him how much you love him, make him happy when he’s feeling doubtful, and telling him you’re sorry when things go wrong.
Praise him
Sweet words can make your husband feel extra special. Your encouraging words could change his mood and it can really give him a feel of being a great husband. It can also encourage him to do more great things for you. You can compliment him for being a good husband. You can appreciate the way he pampers you, and also on his physical attributes.
Stay calm
When your husband is angry try your level best to stay calm. Arguing or counter-attacking may fuel the fire and make things worse. Instead, let there be peace for a while. Wait for him to settle down, and listen to him if he wants to talk. Don’t make an effort to prove yourself right by making him feel that he’s all the way wrong. This can make him irritated and things can really be dragged into a longer fight.
Cook his favorite meal
Good food goes a long way to bringing people together. Making a great meal for your husband is undoubtedly great way for you to show him how much you love him. When he comes home after a hectic day and you’ll serve him with his favorite food that is definitely going to work as a mood booster for him Plus, you get to enjoy a good meal as well!
Accept him the way he is
The most important thing is never try to change your guy into someone that he obviously is not. If it is not something that can cause him any harm (alcoholism, smoking, drugs, etc.), then you ought not to create a conflict by making him feel that you want to change him. You married him because you loved him the way he is so there’s no point to change him after he becomes your husband. If you try to change his base nature then obviously it’ll be a mistake on your part.
It’s better to let things go
“A good marriage is the union of two good forgivers.” – Ruth Bell Graham
If we talk about forgiveness, it is ‘something that plays always a vital role in making a relationship successful. If he has forgotten anniversary, you birthday or anything else Don’t just indulge yourself in heated argument, just take a deep breath and say It’s okay. Your lenient and cool behavior would definitely make him realize his mistake.
Don’t spy on him just trust him
If you have been cheated on or hurt in a past relationship, don’t let that baggage follow you into your marriage. Don’t spy on him when he’s out with his friends. Let him know that you trust him and he will for sure do all that he can to ensure he does not break your trust.
Be strong and independent woman
Tell your partner where he is wrong in a respectful way. Don’t bend over to anything he says just to make it easier for his ego. Explain to him what he has done wrong and don’t make it a personal matter. Be a strong and independent woman he fell in love with.

Anyone and everyone who is a pet lover knows how much mess they can make which is why animal lovers need to make their homes pet friendly. Here’s a few tips on how you can do just that:
Ditch the carpets
Furry Pets tend to shed a lot and you don’t want your whole house covered in hair or be sneezing and not be able to clean up the place if you’ve got carpets all over. Instead of getting your whole room carpeted, try and get your room in ceramic tiles or wooden flooring. They are much more easier to clean than carpets (which by the way, cats really like to scratch to sharpen their claws). You can also invest in slip proof rugs to make the place look less untidy.
Choose furniture smartely
You can’t really stop your furry friends from sitting on your furniture so choose a quilt or rug to place over them. Be sure to wash them regularly though. Use non toxic cleaners and sprays to clean your furniture as well in case your pets tend to scratch them. Avoid investing in super expensive furniture though because you don’t want to be upset if it gets ruined.
Move small decorations out of sight
Move small pieces of decorations out of sight and reach of your pets. Any breakable items should be kept in enclosed cabinets as cats and dogs tend to get over excited and might jump around and such items may be prone to breakage. Again, you don’t want to get upset due to loss of such items especially if they’re expensive.
Get trash cans with lids on them
Surely you don’t want a mess around your house if your pet knocks over your trash can while playing or running around. In this case, it is advisable to get trash cans with lids on them.
Designate eating spots for the pets
Place your pets’ eating bowls in one designated spot and train them to eat their and also not create a mess. You can take a trip to the pet store and buy 2-3 bowls which look super cute. You should also place your furry friends food securely in cabinets and only give it to them at proper timings.
Bathe your pets regularly
Your pets need to be groomed and bathed regularly so there is less fur and less mess around the household. This way you and your pet can also be safe from any allergies.
Secure electrical cords properly
Secure electrical cords away and out of sight from pets at all times. You don’t want them to get tangled in them or worse get an electrical shock. Cover and tuck them as far away as possible.
The world has now become a global village and this is the reason why long distance relationships are becoming popular. This is the age of Facebook, Skype and thousands of apps like these and now contacting people is a piece of cake. Getting into a long distance relationship is very easy but making it work and last long is a big challenge. In this article I will focus on some of the ways to make your long distance relationship work and last long. After reading this article keeping and making a long distance relationship will become more and more easier for all the worried long distant couples out there.
It is very important to ask yourself the question that are you both clear on the parameters of the relationship. This means that you should name your relationship and define it as dating, seeing each other, commited, engaged or married. These questions are in some cases very difficult to ask but they save you from awkward confusions and misunderstandings. By doing this you can set a road map for yourself that what do you need to do. After clearly locating that where do you stand in the spectrum of relationships, it is very important to do things other than just a random phone call. Interaction over the phone can become boring and usual in the relationships so try other forms of interactions such as watching a TV show simultaneously or interacting through the video call. This will increase your interest towards the relationship as well as your partner’s.
It is necessary to communicate more than once in a day if possible. This is because you obviously wont be able to meet each other so talking to each other must be increased accordingly. Tell each other about your day, your plans or any problems. Ask for advice to show that the partner’s advice really matters. Be creative, writing letters, sending flowers or small gifts and emailing each other can also refresh the feelings in one’s heart. Remember that quality is better than quantity and small special gifts matter alot so dont be miser and try using ways to relax your partner. It is also necessary for both of the partners to enjoy the advantages of a long distance relationship. The advantages include more time to spend with friends, the pleasure of seeing your partner after a span of time, no arguments and much more.
Moreover it is necessary to pursue common interests. As if there is a movie that you both enjoyed seeing together then watch it individually and call each other to talk about it and how you felt seeing it alone. Apart from movies read the book you loved reading together, star gaze while talking and synchronize stuff together. Find ways to show the strong bonding you have for your partners. Small little things can show your love and make your partner happy so do not stop doing it. Another important thing is to know that people have their free will and no one can or should control another person. As long as you are both interested in being in the relationship you will stick with it and the distance will not matter. It does not make any difference whether you live 3000 miles apart, two streets over, or share the same bed with your wedding picture on the wall. You are going to have to trust each other completely if this relationship is going to work. Otherwise it will end with just the blink of an eye. Just because you are in a long-distance relationship doesn’t mean your lives will pause. So always give your partner enough space to breath freely.
Ultimately you would want to live together so discussing how you’re going to get to that point will help you prove to each other that the relationship is going somewhere and that your efforts and frustrations are not in vain. Talk about your goals. Support and encourage each other. Try to make the time to visit each other as often as possible. A relationship cannot last if the only thing you have is the phone call. You need to see each other up close and personal everytime you get a chance. Consistency can help a long-distance relationship survive. Give your partner a personal object of yours so, when they miss you, they will be able to hold on to something that belonged to you. This will provide the feeling of being with you. Remember that you’re still in a relationship. You have to be there for your partner if your partner is ever in trouble, or hurt. If they end up dealing with everything alone, they will not need you. Lastly, when you see each other, try spending as much time together as you can. Do not hesitate and keep those feelings of excitement and attraction alive. This is how your long distance relationship can become a successful one.

Good housekeeping habits not only keep our house clean but also welcoming. Here’s a list of bad housekeeping habits you need to let go of to keep the good ones intact:
Don’t pile up clean laundry here and there
After your clothes are out of the washing machine and dried, make sure to fold them immediately or hang them in their designated spots. Don’t leave them lying around here or there as a growing pile of clothes in the corner will only make your room look messy and unkempt.Make this a habit as it won’t take much time and your closet will remain organized.
Don’t leave your bed messy in the morning
Make it a habit to do your bed once you’ve awake. Not only does a messy bed look unwelcoming but it might need changing as well. It is really important to wash your bed sheets, pillow covers, quilt covers every now and then so they are fresh and new. Fresh bed covers also help you sleep better.
Don’t use dirty cleaning tools/appliances
For sure cleaning tools are used to clean other surfaces and objects around the house but it is as important to wash them as well. A dirty cloth will only attract more bacteria rather than picking up dust.
Make sure to also give your washing machine and vacuum cleaners attention in this regard. While washing machines can be cleaned with hot water and vinegar, vacuum cleaner bags need to be emptied out every now and then.
Don’t create a mess in your drawers
Mostly people forget cleaning out their drawers because they simply think if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. Try and empty out your drawers every now and then and throw things which you won’t need.
Don’t forget to empty and clean your fridgeand food cabinets
Mostly people buy food items and forget about it. In this way, they stay in the food cabinets and the fridge while getting spoilt and rotten. Don’t be that person! This will only accumulate fungus on the food and smell bad. Repeat this process every two weeks so you can make a habit out of this.
Don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink
Make it a habit to wash dirty dishes once you’re done eating in them. Some pots and pans need to be soaked for longer to get the grease and oil off them. A dirty sink will only attract bacteria, insects and bugs. So make it a habit as it is much more easier to wash lesser dishes than washing a huge pile of them afterwards.
Clean while you cook
They say a good cook is one who keeps his cooking area clean while s/he cooks. While your delicious meal cooks on the stove, make sure to wash a few dishes in the meantime. In the end when you’re tired and done with cooking, you won’t be welcomed with a huge pile of dishes and utensils thus leaving you time to enjoy your meal.
Staying organized can make your life way way easier. It helps save time, and get things done quicker than usual. One such place that needs to stay organized in your household is your closet. Maintaining an organized closet is ongoing process from time to time. Here’s a guide that can help you keep your closet neat, tidy and organized:
Rearrange your clothes by season
Make space in your closet by rearranging it at the beginning of winter and summer season. It makes your closet look neat and makes a lot of space in your cupboard for other items as well. You don’t need warm clothes such as sweaters or boots in the summer, and you won’t ever wear shorts or sleeveless clothes during the winter. Instead take a duffel bag or suitcase and neatly pack your clothes and shoes in that, when the other season comes, you can easily switch this way.
Color code clothes by hanging or folding them neatly
Don’t stuff your clothes in one place, color code them by hanging in your cupboard or fold them neatly. When you color code, you won’t have to rummage through your stuff frantically looking for a certain item. You’ll know exactly that it is in a designated spot and finding it would be much easier.
Put your favorite items in the front
If there are a few pieces which you absolutely love wearing again and again, place them in the front of the cupboard while the least favorite or seldom wear ones go at the back.
Buy trouser and scarf hangers or hooks
Trouser and scarf hangers help create space in your cupboard. Investing in these mean you’ll have extra space in your cupboard and all your trousers and scarves can be in one place rather than all over the cupboard.
Declutter your closet
Stop holding onto pieces just because there are memories attached to it or you simply can’t let go. Learn the art of sacrificing and start giving to charity and make others happy as well. You can always go out and buy new stuff, while there are so many others who can’t afford this luxury of spending all the time.
Buy storage boxes and drawer dividers
Put your makeup, undergarments, belts and socks in storage boxes and mark them accordingly. This way you’ll remember what items are kept where. You can easily pull out the boxes and get your items. Another great hack are drawer dividers. These keep your items secured in sections and look extremely neat and organized.
Invest in a shoe rack
Investing in a shoe rack will make your life ten times more simpler than before. This is because you’ll have your shoes neatly stacked instead of being piled up on one another. You can even place them the way you want to, heels at the top, then flip flops, then sandals and so on. Any other pairs of shoes that you won’t be wearing can go in shoe boxes.
A beautiful space can bring you great joy, but if your home feels like it’s full of bad vibes, then it’s time to banish that negative energy once and for all and increase positivity in the household. Here’s a few ways to welcome positive vibes in your home:
Remove your shoes while inside the house
Try and leave your shoes at the entrance of your house as footwear collects negative energy. A therapeutic technique known as Grounding or Earthing allows one to reconnect with earth while walking barefoot inside or outside. Grounding reduces muscle pain and damage, stress and even depression. In this technique, all your negative energy inside your body is absorbed by earth and substituted by positive energy.
Allow fresh air in the house
Open all windows in the house and allow fresh air and sunshine to enter the house. Free flowing air and sunshine are excellent negativity removers. Natural fresh air means you can save up on electricity bills too. Opening windows and doors also allows sunlight in the house which is a great source of Vitamin D and boosts energy and mood. Keeping the windows closed prevent positive energy from coming inside your house and negative energy from going out.
Clean your house thoroughly
Clutter is a negativity magnet. Clean your house every now and then and dispose off all the old unwanted things. Clutter and mess attracts and accumulates negative energy in the house. Do not hold onto any broken or unwanted stuff which does not bring you joy anymore. Let go of the sadness and welcome happiness in your life.
Burn incense around the house
Incense is a biotic material that releases a fragrant smell when it is burned. It is used mainly for therapy, meditation, etc. Incense attracts positive energies as it creates a calm and serene environment.
Keep potted plants around the house
Potted plants or trees around your house or on the balcony can also ensure more positive energy in the house and outside areas. Plants absorb harmful toxins in the environment, they bring peace and tranquility in your household, help you sleep better and most importantly bring luck and prosperity in the home.
Use rock salt as an ingredient for removing negative energies
Rock salt is a useful ingredient to remove negative energy around the house.It can cleanse, heal and balance energy, while repelling negative vibrations. Wash or mop your floor with a fistful rock salt in a bucket of water. This ensures that every nook and corner of the house is rid of negative energy.
Have a bath in rock salt once in a while helps removes negative energies attached to your body. You only need about one cup of rock or sea salt for bathing purposes. Even if you keep your feet in hot water or take a tub bath with some aromatic oil (along with salt) added to it then also you will feel recharged and fresh.
Try and spend more time outside
Try and spend more time outside in the open air. Take walks in the garden or open ground as this will help you re-energize and recharge your body. Spending time in nature also boosts brain energy, makes one productive and creative, improves immune system and definitely makes one happier.
Avoid negative thoughts, speech and actions
Be kind and welcoming to others through your way of speaking and actions. Being negative will only bring negative vibes in the household.
Everyone gets hurt but there are certain wounds that do not heal quickly. These wounds can result from your earliest relationships as a child. They can even be an outcome of the relationships you had as an adult. Irrespective of what caused these wounds, it is really important to heal from them in order to have healthy relationships. Many people cannot have healthy relationships because they find it really difficult to heal from what hurt them in the past. Some people are not even aware of how these old wounds are affecting their present relationships.
If old habits are hard to break then old wounds are even harder to heal. The good news however is that healing these wounds is in your own hands. You might think that you will never heal from these wounds but that is not true. Many people are living content and fulfilled lives even after being hurt and wounded by those people who were closest to them.
Here are some tips to heal from old wounds so that you can enjoy your present relationships.
[lwptoc]
Accept The Past
The first step towards changing the present is to accept the past. Do not run away from your wounds, think clearly about everything you have been through in the past, and accept whatever happened. Sometimes in an attempt to move on, humans tend to be in denial. The unpleasant memories are stored away from the conscious mind even though they are constantly affecting our present life with the subconscious mind keeping us in fear and distress. The only way to heal from past wounds is to accept that they exist.
Give Yourself Time
Do not expect too much in little time. If the wounds are old and deep, they will take time healing. Have realistic expectations and take one day at a time. Understand that this might be a long journey but once you are completely healed it will be worth the effort and time you invested in it.
Self-Analysis at Every Step
It is really important to analyze your reactions and responses when dealing with people. You will have to continuously question those reactions which might be extreme. You have to ask yourself why you are reacting this way and what can you do to change. While analyzing your own actions and feelings, don’t be judgmental.
Love Yourself
Loving yourself despite all the hurt other people or someone, in particular, put you through is really important. While you are analyzing yourself at all times, make sure that there is no self-blame involved. If you start feeling sorry for yourself because of what other people put you through, you are adding to the damage. No one is perfect and nobody has a perfect life, everyone is flawed in their own way. Learn to love yourself because if you don’t love yourself you will never be able to make someone else accept and love you for who you are. Your first and foremost commitment is with yourself, everything and everyone else in your life is an extension of you.
Take Control
You are in charge of your life; you are the only one who can help yourself heal completely. No matter how someone has wounded you, if you decide to take charge and change how you react to whatever has happened to you in the past will transform your life completely. If you are hurting in a relationship, take control, and stop that person from hurting you further. Whether the hurt is a thing of the past or the present, taking control of your life will change everything. Believe in yourself more than you do in anyone else. This will give you the confidence to make things better for yourself and you will not look at others for validation.
Don’t Hide Your Feelings
When you enter into a new relationship while you haven’t healed from your past wounds, you might feel the need to constantly hide your feelings. You do not want to come across as needy or overly sensitive because you are already healing from what hurts you. Stop doing this and be strong enough to share your true feelings with your partner. Your partner might be able to assist you in this healing process if you do so. If you keep on hiding your actual feelings then your partner will be clueless and might end up hurting you even more unknowingly.
Be More Forgiving
Forgive yourself when you make a mistake while in a relationship and while analyzing your past. Most importantly forgive your partner you are currently in a relationship with. When we are wounded from our past experiences, it is difficult to forgive, and sometimes we expect more from others. Break the pattern by being more forgiving and accommodating.
Conscious Responses
You will definitely be in relationships while you are on your healing journey. When faced with a situation that triggers you mainly due to your old wounds do not react instantly. This will require great strength and determination but this is really important so that you can have healthier relationships. When faced with such a situation react only after consciously thinking everything through.
Don’t Let Your Fears Take Over
When practicing all of this make sure that you never let your fear take over. When we let our fears take over, our body has a flight or fight reaction which will result in making the situation even more complicated. When there are wounds from past relationships, giving in to fear can be difficult but this is a battle you can win if you practice every single day and eventually perfect the art of healing.
Therapy & Mindfulness
Therapy can help you figure out where these wounds come from if you cannot figure that out on your own. Sometimes relationship wounds start so early on in our lives that we do not even recognize the fact that these wounds could be so deep-rooted in your past. Practicing mindfulness also helps to heal from past wounds, it also makes the quality of life and relationships better.
Whatever you are going through right now will heal if you want the status quo to change. You are in control, take charge, and do not let other people define your life.
Nowadays people do not value there relationships. Breakups and conflicts are becoming a trend in Pakistan and also in other countries. Many of my friends face problems in there relationships. There are many causes for this; the difference in mind sets, a busy routine, lack of understanding and a lot more. Every couple has their own problems and their own ways to solve the problems. In this article I will highlight some of the ways through which a relationship can be made healthy, happy and long lasting. This article is for people who are having a commitment and also for those who are looking forward to be committed in the upcoming years.
In a relationship it is necessary that you must know what you and your partner want for yourself and from the relationship. In easy terms if the girl wants trust and care from the relationship she must tell the boy before getting into a relationship and if the boy wants space and fun then he must also tell the girl before they take any step forward. In this way both of the people will be careful and they will give what each of them demands which will result in a lesser number of conflicts. Apart from this each of the people in a couple must know that not everyone is perfect and that not all needs are fulfilled. There will be times when your partner will not fulfill your need because of some problem then you must be able to understand him or her. A person only gets to know the feelings of the other person when he sees himself in the shoes of the other person. This is why for a relationship it is necessary to understand the needs of each other.
Both of the people must be ready to compromise on things to save the relationship. If you know that your partner does not like your late night socializing, then you must have the courage to stop or minimize late night socializing for the sake of your partner’s happiness. In this way he will also give up things for you. A relationship is not only about one sided compromise or sacrifice, it is about two sided compromise. Both of the partners must learn to be happy in other’s happiness only then they will have a perfect and happy relationship. Moreover you must work hard to accept the differences between you and your partner. The same is for him or her as well. Do not demand from him to change to meet your requirements because love is unconditional and you must love him the way he is. Changing him will only make him uncomfortable so it is important to stay happy with the differences of opinion. Remember that opposites attract.
Do not agree with one another all the time but do not be rude enough to criticize your partner again and again. Respect his opinions, views and thoughts and try to interlink you own thoughts with his thoughts. More criticizing and interrupting habit will make you look like a teacher which is not suitable. You must learn to be your partner’s friend and then try to solve problems between both of you. Seeking professional help or involving the third party between your personal problems is not a good idea. It just increases the conflict. Try to solve your problems yourself and do not show to others that you had a fight. Trust is a basic brick of every relationship. Try to trust your partner. You must be confident enough that your partner is all yours otherwise people will take advantage of your habit of not trusting your partner. It will be better if you do not give any other person a chance to create problems in your relationship.
No matter how many years have passed and no matter how old your relationship is, do not forget to compliment your partner. Adopt ways to appreciate him and show him that your love for him has grown in these years. Same goes for men as well, they must also learn to propose there wives very often. This creates a happy feeling and kind of refreshes a relationship. Simple lines like I love you and I trust you or I am always there for you can create a magic in your relationship. Taking her out for dinner and giving her flowers can brighten up her life and she will get a positive energy to love you once again. Adopting these little ways can make your relationship a healthy, happy and a long lasting one. Give your suggestions below as they are appreciated.
If you’re someone who has thin and coarse hair and are constantly looking for ways to get thicker, volumized and lustrous locks, you have landed in the perfect spot. Here are several ways you can get bouncier, healthier hair:
Pick a volumizing/thickening shampoo and conditioner
Make sure to pick the right shampoo for your hair. Look for shampoos or conditioners with labels which read thickening, volumizing or bounce on their bottles.
Condition your hair before shampoo. This is because if you condition it after you have shampoo-ed your hair, it will weigh down the hair and make it slick and straight. So conditioning should be done before you shampoo your hair for thicker, volumized and bouncier locks.
Get a haircut which adds volume
Although it is said longer and thicker hair is desirable but it is pertinent to know what type of haircut to get which will add volume. If you want to keep your hair longer, it is advisable to get layers. Layers give an illusion of extra volume in the hair. On the other hand, if you want shorter hair, get a long bob or a bob cut. Both these hairstyles not only make one look younger but also add texture to the hair.
Use a dry shampoo
Dry shampoo can give instant boost of volume to your locks making them look healthier and rejuvanized. Dry shampoo contains powders like starches and minerals to increase the friction between strands and absorb oils which creates volume in the hair.
Use hair extensions
Hair extensions are an effective way to make your hair look thicker, healthier and volumized. Although they do cost an arm and leg, but thats just a one time investment for them. It is tricky applying hair extensions yourself, so try to get a hairstylist to do the job for you.
Minimize the use of heat styling
Heat styling contributes to damaging hair to a large extent. Although done occassionally, it does not contribute to much damage. When styling your hair using straightners, blow drys or curlers, make sure to use heat protectant sprays or serums so as not to damage your hair. These sprays and serums also help make your hair bouncier and healthier.
Get highlights done in your hair
Highlights add depth and volume to your hair instantly making them come alive. It gives hair dimension and the illusion of fuller locks instead of single flat toned hair. Add a few foils in your hair to give them the sass, oomph and panache they deserve.
Try teasing your hair
If your locks tend to fall flat at the roots, try teasing them a little to give the appearance of volume. After you are done teasing or back combing them, gently brush over them to blend in with the hair. Use a small tail comb for this purpose.
Take supplements for your hair
There are vitamins and supplements out there which work well for hair growth. Visit a dermatologist so they can prescribe the best supplements for your hair growth and texture.

Wake Up With a Positive Mind
The fact is that most of us do not wake up happy unless we have to catch an early morning flight to go on a dream vacation! So many people say that they are not a ‘morning person’. This is where the change needs to start. We all have to wake up in the morning and start our day whether we like it or not so why not start it with a positive mind? Positive thinking does not come naturally, it comes with practice. Start practicing today by making sure that no matter what lies ahead, you can and you must take control and stop all the negative talk in your mind and replace it with a positive thought. Embrace the reason why you wake up in the morning whether it is housework, a job, or your baby crying – you can go ahead with your day thinking ‘oh I don’t want to do this’ or ‘I can do this and I will do this to the best of my ability.’ The way you start your day will set the tone for everything that ensues.
Don’t Be Afraid of Challenges
You may wake up with a positive mind, ready to slay the day but a challenge or something unexpected could happen that might catch you off guard. This challenge can only affect your mental well-being adversely if you choose to be fearful of it. Our mind is designed to be fearful because it is supposed to save us from what might harm us in any way therefore we need to constantly train our mind not to be fearful of every single situation which is out of the ordinary. Take charge instantly, tell yourself that you can handle this and once you do handle it, you will feel more empowered than ever before. Challenges can be a source of empowerment when we refuse to be fearful of them. They become a source of strength when we decide to overcome them. Believing that you have the capability to do so is really important. All you have to do is to keep on reminding yourself that no challenge is too big if you decide to overcome it. Most of our anxiety comes from being afraid of these challenges, once you embrace them; they are no longer a threat.
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
Once you have the strength to face everyday challenges, it is really important to challenge yourself consciously. Step out of your comfort zone every now and then, try doing something you are fearful of and appreciate yourself when you manage to succeed. Stepping out of your comfort zone can mean something as small as going out in public and meeting people or it could be a life-changing decision such as filing for a divorce or pursuing higher studies. Challenge yourself continuously in order to keep your mind sharp; do not live life in comfort zones. Such challenges will make your life more meaningful as well.
Be Aware of Self-Talk
Most of us are really conscious and careful while talking to other people. We make sure we do not belittle others and are respectful. This is one of the first lessons everyone is taught, it is so important to be polite and well-mannered. No one ever teaches us to be polite to ourselves. No one ever tells us to be aware of how we talk to ourselves. Every human on this planet has an internal dialogue going on within them yet no one is ever taught as a child to make that dialogue polite and meaningful! While we are busy pleasing people and being politically correct, we are not focused enough on our internal dialogue. Our self-talk can often harm ourselves more than anything anyone says. How you talk to yourself affects you more than anything else anyone else would ever say or do. You can be your biggest motivator or you could be your bitterest bully. That is a conscious choice you make every day. Every time your subconscious mind tells you that you are incapable or not good enough, prove it wrong. Practice thinking positive thoughts and making these thoughts the tool to achieve goals.
Tackling negative self-talk might be a constant struggle for many people. It is therefore highly important to keep changing the narrative in your mind. The kind of self-talk going on inside your mind will determine how you react to a situation and how quickly you bounce back. Positive self-talk will boost your confidence, help you cope with stressful situations, and will keep you motivated constantly.
Focus On Solutions, Not The Problem
Mental strength comes from looking for solutions instead of focusing on the problem. Every time you are faced with a problem, the only way out of it is to focus on the solution. If you keep on concentrating on the problem, it will appear to be bigger than it actually is. A problematic situation will not resolve itself; if it is left unattended it will only intensify. Be a fighter and not an escapist. The Second you are faced with a problematic situation instead of feeling sorry for yourself and thinking about how this could impact you adversely, swing into action, and start working toward finding solutions. There are many different ways in which people can look for solutions. If we condition our minds to focus on the solution, every time we are faced with a problem, we will automatically be more ready to face problems and be strong mentally.
Meditation & Exercise
There are many different ways to meditate and all of them help regain energy and get rid of stressful thoughts. Meditation relaxes the mind and gives it the energy needed to deal with stressful situations. Meditation exercises also help people increase self-awareness, focusing on the present situation, increasing tolerance, and reducing anxiety. It is a way to organize all the jumbled up thoughts in your mind and moving towards action with a more focused mind. Meditation is also a step towards mindfulness, it gives us the opportunity to sit back and observe our own life from a distance. Life is busy and chaotic for most of us, there are hardly any times when we get to sit down and sort things out in our own mind. We are constantly in action therefore it is always needed to pause and be present in the moment. Mindfulness helps us look at our own life objectively and detangle our thoughts.
Physical exercise also has a lot of neurological benefits as well. It does not only help people stay fit physically but also reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Exercise also improves mental health and memory. The way exercise helps our mental well-being is pure science therefore if you want to be mentally strong you need to take up some kind of exercise even if it is a walking routine, especially during the day.
Stop Expecting Too Much From Others
There are so many times when the root cause of our anxiety and depression are expectations from other people. Most of us are constantly looking for validation from others. First of all, we need to stop looking for validation outside ourselves. When we stop doing that, our actions will be directed towards driving self-pleasure instead of pleasing others. When we expect too much from others, very often we try really hard to win their approval. Similarly, we are constantly expecting people to act a certain way, to say certain things, and when they do not do that we are disappointed and feel hurt. In order to stop expecting too much from others, we need to understand their situations, be optimistic, and finding joy within your own self. Do not hand over your happiness to someone else and don’t let other people determine where you stand in life. If you stop expecting, everything someone does for you is a bonus.
Surround Yourself With Uplifting People
While it is really important to not rely on others to make you happy, it is equally important to choose the people you spend time with intelligently. No one can live a secluded life; all of us need a human connection no matter how self-sufficient we are. The good news is that it is entirely in our control who we choose to surround ourselves with. Choosing your company wisely is just as important as not expecting too much from people. When you surround yourself with people who are uplifting and are achievers, they give you the inspiration you need from the outside world. It is equally important to stay away from people who put you down.
Set Priorities & Boundaries
In order to be strong mentally and emotionally setting priorities is a must. If you do not set priorities and boundaries you are walking on a path with your eyes closed. If you do not have a set goal then you can’t be sure where you are headed and where you should be focusing your energy. All of us are constantly balancing different aspects of life; work, relationships, finances, pleasure, and personal growth. Most of us do not really sit down to determine which aspect of our lives will get more attention than others although determining this is extremely important. Subconsciously, we are giving priority to some aspect of our lives more than the other, deciding if it needs to be changed could affect your mental health greatly. Creating boundaries in relationships comes hand in hand with balancing work and finances. Those people who cannot set boundaries in relationships often end up being emotionally exhausted. Setting these boundaries will automatically lead to making you stronger mentally and emotionally since you will be the one in charge.
Do What Makes You Happy
Happiness means different things for different people. Deriving happiness out of small things is the best way to stay strong emotionally and mentally. Sometimes we associate happiness with achieving big goals but that makes us frustrated and stuck in a constant struggle more than anything else. Happiness should be derived from everyday activities which could be something as simple as having coffee with a friend, a meaningful conversation over the phone, a morning walk, watching your favorite movie or show, taking your puppy out for a walk, spending quality time with you children and the list is never-ending. The bottom line is do not wait for someone else to make you happy and do not wait for something big to happen in order to make you happy. Find happiness in small things and make sure that every single day you find time for yourself and do something to make you happy. This ‘something’ does not have to require a lot of time either, it can be something that lasts a few minutes but manages to make you happy. Redefine happiness for yourself and make it more accessible.

Emotional distance in a relationship can make two people drift apart even when they are living together. Many couples who live under the same roof feel that they are not connected emotionally the way they once were. There can be many reasons for this emotional distance and fixing this problem depends on what this reason is. It is really important for couples to work on fixing this problem because otherwise, they will feel lonely and unhappy even when they have a partner who loves them. This feeling might be present on both sides or sometimes one of the partners might feel that the emotional connection between them is no longer as strong as before. This is a difficult period for both the partners but staying strong and not giving up is the key to a lasting relationship.
If you and your partner are drifting apart emotionally then here are some ways you can fix the problem.
[lwptoc]
Communication Is The Key
If you feel that your partner is no longer emotionally available, talk to them instantly. Most of the time people ignore this feeling until it is replaced by resentment because they feel that their partner is ignoring them. At other times, people are unsure; they feel that perhaps they are being overly sensitive. Do not keep on questioning how you are feeling but recognize the problem and talk about it. You never know your partner might be feeling the same way but is holding back. Sometimes healthy communication is the first step towards resolving problems.
Make a List of The Reasons
After you have a conversation with your partner, make a list of the possible reasons for this emotional distance. It could be that your partner is under stress, is too busy or he/she is simply in need of alone time. Sometimes people need some space and want to be alone. If your partner wants to be alone for some time, respect their decision, and don’t feel bad about them wanting some space.
Think Less, Act More
Most of the time in such situations people think a little more than is necessary. Once you have figured out what the possible reasons can be for the emotional distance start acting on a plan to bridge this distance. You know your partner better than anyone else, instead of worrying about your relationship do what needs to be done. This will keep you motivated and busy. If your partner needs alone time then you should also plan something which will keep you busy.
Give It Time
Many couples who have been together for a long experience of emotional distancing. The majority of the couples manage to bridge the emotional distance with time. Don’t expect a quick fix, sometimes time can change things dramatically in a good way. Many couples say that such emotional distancing is most often just a passing phase in a relationship. You should know that this is the situation is only temporary.
Avoid Negative Thinking
When there is an emotional distance in a relationship, it is really common for the partners to think negative thoughts. Thoughts such as, “he doesn’t love me anymore”, “he might be interested in someone else”, “she does not find me attractive” are common in couples who are facing this issue. Whenever such thoughts come to your mind, think of all the reasons why you might think your partner still loves you.
Date Nights
Date nights once a week are a great way to bridge the emotional gap in a relationship. If you feel that your partner or you are too busy during the week then take the time out for a date night when you are available for each other emotionally. It is even better if the conversation revolves around how you feel during the week instead of what you have been doing.
Get Creative
Sometimes small gestures and surprises which might not even require a lot of effort make the other person feel special. Getting creative to get close to a distant partner can go a long way. Even if your partner is not making an effort, try doing so yourself.
Active Listening
Sometimes people become emotionally distant because they want to be heard but are not willing to listen. Is your partner not sharing things with you because you were never an active listener? If that is the case then listen to whatever they have to share with interest even if you don’t find it interesting enough.
Express Your Love Differently
Your partner might want you to express your love for them differently. While your idea of a great evening might be a candlelight dinner, it could mean something entirely different for your partner. Find out how your partner would like you to express your love for him/her and do whatever appeals to them the most. It can be something that doesn’t appeal to you but could work wonders for your relationship.
Get Professional Help
Even after trying to reach to your partner and doing everything suggested in this post, you feel that your partner is still emotionally distant, seek professional help. A good counselor or therapist can help you two figure out the reasons for the distance and also give you great tips to bridge it. Sometimes we overlook things that only a professional would notice after a session. Getting such help is always a step in the right direction and it can save your relationship.
Don’t give up on your relationship because relationships require conscious effort. You are not the only one going through this phase and if your relationship is strong, you will get through it.

Host bonfire and BBQ parties
Winter is nothing without hosting or attending atleast one bonfire or BBQ party. Invite over family and friends for a fun filled winter night with mazaydaar BBQ. Those delicious kebabs, tikkas which one makes themselves on those steaming hot coils never beats the ones eaten in restaurants. To top it off, you have a bonfire going on with music to dance to.
Go for morning walks in the fog

Attend as many shaadis as you can
Winter season and shaadis go hand in hand, as soon as December approaches, lo and behold shaadi season starts.

Take a trip to Murree and beyond

After we hit our 20s, that is when we start getting signs of aging. It does not necessarily mean that once you grow old, you become weak and start getting wrinkles. One can stay young and youthful even with growing age. Here is a list on how to effectively deal with the signs of aging:
Hydrate yourself
You need to have at least eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated properly. Other than that, you can also have fruits with an adequate amount of water content in them. Being hydrated makes us energetic while increasing lean muscles and burning off unnecessary calories in the body. It all helps us stay mentally fresh and focused on our everyday chores. Being hydrated can also reduce the signs of aging and make one look youthful.
Improve your diet and take regular supplements
Being thoughtful of what you put inside your body can really reverse the aging process, making you look young and youthful. A healthy diet goes a long way and can help you stay active as well. Our bodies start losing collagen after we cross out twenties, which is what keeps you younger looking therefore it is important to externally provide the body with the collagen, there are a lot of supplements for that, you can also take omega 3 an zinc for anti aging. You can also consume food that is rich in collagen like bone broth, seeds, seed butter, salmon, berries.
Also make sure to have a healthy breakfast everyday as it is the most important meal of the day and can help one stay active and energetic throughout. Healthy breakfast items can include oatmeal, Greek yogurt, green tea, etc.
Exercise regularly
Working out does not mean to be on a machine and just tire yourself out. Easier exercises like talking a jog in the morning or morning walks can be incorporated in your routine to stay fit, active, healthy and youthful. Consistency is the key to a better lifestyle. Ask someone to come along with you so you don’t get bored. You can also include yoga and meditation into your exercise routine which is useful for mental health.
Get body massages regularly
One of the best things you can do for anti aging for your body is getting body massages on a regular basis. Massages can help exfoliate the skin and helps in skin regeneration which promotes youthful glow.
Moisturize and use toner and anti aging creams
Moisturizers prevent our skin from getting too dry and flaky. If your skin gets too dry, look for a moisturizer with higher oil content. If it gets too oily, look for lotions instead of moisturizers. In addition, moisturizers, anti aging creams and toners also help one look youthful while repairing skin and making it healthy.
Get haircuts regularly
Getting regular haircuts is not only healthy for your hair but can make you look considerably younger and youthful. You can opt for a long bob or bob cut as it suits most ages and takes years off of a persons face.
Use body scrubs
Use body scrubs to remove dead skin and dead cells from your body so it can keep looking fresh, younger and healthier. You can either buy store bought body scrubs or make them at home yourself.

Tik Tok is a video sharing social networking service or application. From last year Tik Tok got a lot of hype.

Every girl loves to play around with makeup and achieve a flawless makeup look. From creating a clean canvas for your face to work on to getting a smooth base, we all wish to look out of this world. The most attractive feature of our face is most definitely the eyes. Doing the right eyemakeup with proper steps, techniques and tools not only makes the job easier but also helps you achieve an incredible flawless finish. Here are a few tips to help you out with your magical look:
Prep your lid
Just like an artist needs a clean canvas to work on, you need a clean base to apply makeup to. Wash your face thoroughly to remove any dust particles. After drying, apply toner to remove any excess dirt left behind. Let your face absorb toner, and apply moisturizer for a smooth base. After moisturization, prep your lid using a good eyeshadow primer. This helps ensure the eyeshadow stays on longer and makes the colors pop even more.
Choose the right brush
In makeup artistry, using the right brush makes the job much simpler and does wonders to your makeup look. It enhances the pigment of your eyeshadow and makes blending much easier. There are brushes specially designed for different techniques which help you work consistently for achieving your desired magical look.
Blend, blend, blend
The key to an attractive eye makeup is to blend your eyeshadow like a pro. The colors should be seamlessly blended into each other and look like one, not divided by lines. Wear colors that compliment each other, otherwise your whole look can turn into a disaster!
Wear eyeliner
Eyeliner makes your eyes pop out and look bigger. But it is important to wear a wing that suits your eye shape. The wrong shape can make your eyes look smaller and even a little droopy. You should also wear white or nude pencil on your lower water line to further enhance your eyes and make them look bigger. Avoid applying a dark kohl liner on your lower water line as this can make your eyes look smaller. However, you can use a black pencil on your upper water line which will make your lashes appear fuller.
Wearing liner with eyeshadow looks even better as it helps fill any pigments and makes the eyeliner last a lot longer whilst giving a beautiful dramatic look.
Use a good mascara
The right mascara does wonders for your eye look especially if you’re not a regular wearer of false lashes. To give an illusion that you are wearing false lashes (when infact you aren’t), layer different types of mascaras together such as a lengthening mascara and a volumizing one. Simultaneously, you can also use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes upwards and give a feathered out look. The end result is just like that of false lashes.
Highlight your eyes
Adding a touch of highlighter will instantly open up your eye and add a little shimmer. Applying highlighter to your brow bone will lift the brow, and applying a little to the inner corners of your eyes will help open them up. To finish, add a touch to the very center of the lid to make your eyes pop. Voila, your makeup look is complete and good to go!
