Coconut I love you - Part 2

OK so to begin with the 2^nd part of my Coconut Blog, I’d like to start with pointing the fact that Coconut is perfect! If only coconut could be my boyfriend.
During my journey to find out coconut benefits I’ve come across numerous findings and it’s actually funny because we all have been looking the wrong way for cures and remedies when coconut was just right there in front of our eyes, but we never noticed. (That’s what my boyfriend is actually like – LOL)

Like I shared earlier coconut is beneficial for weight loss, as it burns fat – YESSS, also including plus points for boosted digestion and cellulite reduction. It’s miraculous  for low blood sugar, cholesterol, Alzheimer’s, heart disease and it’s a great home ingredient for insomnia, wrinkles, dry skin, dry hair,  – I swear I can go on and on!
I have shortlisted some easy, tasteful and most beautiful looking recipes for all of you to begin happy and healthy living with.

The Ultimate Energy Drink

- 2 cups coconut water
- 1.5 tbsp. Chia Seeds
- ½ tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
- Sweetener to Taste (Maple Syrup or Honey)

Soak chia seeds in coconut water for a good 10 mins, that would make these seeds, swell up. Add lemon, sweetener and Enjoy!

P.S: Don’t forget to give your container a little stir as chia seeds tend to sink and rest and the bottom.

Coconut Milk Smoothie


- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 peach
- 2/3 mint leaves
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Sweetener to taste
- Ice

Blend all together and go crazy!

P.S: you can substitute peach with any fruit – (but obviously the ones that blend well with milk base)


Coconut Oil Coffee


- 1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 1 Cup Organic Coffee
- 1 Tsp Organic Unsalted Butter
- ¼ Tsp vanilla

Blend all ingredients together for 20 secs and drink immediately after. If need be feel free to add natural sweetener. This coffee would be closest to Black, if you like it with milk, add in a little coconut milk as well.

Coconut Scrub


- ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ Cup Coconut Oil
- 1 Tbsp. Citrus Fruit Zest

Mix all ingredients well, and secure in an air tight jar. It would be nice if you don’t try and store it for prolonged periods, better would be if you make as much as required.

Coconut Oil Moisturizer


- 1 Cup Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- Vitamin E (Oil Capsule)

Dump in a blender or mix with an electric blender for 6 -7 minutes on high speed. Pour the mixture and enjoy its benefits, best for dry skin and chapped lips. You can store this mixture in a cool dry place. Also feel free to experiment with different essential oils like lavender, dandelion etc.

And if not all this – the least you can do is have a Table spoon of coconut oil early in the morning empty stomach, or right before bed at night time. Seriously – that’s it! And coconut will start its magic before you’d know it.

I wanna climb up on a mountain and yell my lungs out …

Coconut, You Are The Love Of My Life!!!!

Pantone Top 10 - Because Colors Matter!

Rose Quartz, Serenity, Butter Cup, Lilac Grey, Iced Coffee, Peach Echo, Snorkel Blue, Limpet Shell, Fiesta, and Green Flash – don’t you feel like wandering in a tranquil, serene place with a happy and soothing sense of mind, just by reading these names? I know I do!

These are the names of the top 10 Pantone colors of the year, which means everything you’ll see, eat, smell, wear and shop for, will be in these shades at every grand designer store, or even at thrift shops.
So first things first would be to know how to carry these tones in your garments or accessories and to know what goes best with these tones for specific body and complexion types.

Now the most common assumption people have is that lighter tones make you look broader, although it’s not something to be worried about but if that’s your choice of preference, and makes you happy, so be it! But by pairing these specific Pantone Colors of the Year with monochromatic tones, you can achieve the best looks for all seasons. I will be sharing updates on how to's and trends and tips on fashion and lifestyle using these colors shortly, so id suggest you stay tuned.

For now let me tell you the most unique things about these chosen colors is a) they are unisex, because of course, it about time we stop telling them, boys can’t wear pink and b) - The big “O” - its homage to the beauty of natural resources and emerging colors in the sky. These colors levitate you to a happier, calmer place leaving us with a sense of relaxation.  Because seriously, fashion had to do something to bring upon peace and what better way than to change the scenery around you, scenery being your wardrobe, upholstery, everything you see.

But how can colors do that? – Glad you asked J.  The answer is color physiology. Colors influence a person’s perception and behavior, marketeers would know, because that’s how every single product in this world is branded. For say if we look at the placebo effect “Hot colored” pills are used as supplements, while “Cool Color” pills are used as depressants.

Colors can affect both emotionally and physiologically and light colors for sure help people perceive world as a calmer place. In 2000, Glasgow installed blue lights in certain troublesome areas in the city, and reported significant change in the crime rates – the color worked it's magic and made people less aggressive!

Even if not for the sake of all the personal benefits that you can get out of these colors, try incorporating them in you daily styling and household for the sake of fashion. There will be positive changes, and even if not, you’ll still be apt on the fashion radar!






I will be writing more about Pantone Color clothing and décor – because other than my interest in blogging, the fact that I’m in love with these colors, gives me an idea that I'll be writing quite a lot about it.

To Serenity, To Fashion, To Peace!

Gold and Real Flower - Its what a Lipstick should look like.

Aren’t we all just too greedy in this day and age? Greedy for money, success, honor, and pleasure – greed is bad! But then there comes a little nature’s beauty reminder that fills our life with joy, and really, like literally brings a smile to our face.

The internet is going crazy over it, and I couldn’t help but fall for it myself. This one thing that actually made me feel serene and I felt beauty just by looking at it. I’m too philosophical, so it has to be something major right?! It is!

Jelly lipsticks by Kailijumei. It is by far the prettiest creation I at least have seen in the cosmetic industry. Now it sure does not have pigmented hues to it, as the lip trends impose on now days, but it is something I would definitely be saving and using for the rest of my life. For now it is out of stock – because it is so amazing, they sold all pieces obviously but pre-orders are on and I can’t insist you further enough to get your hands and lips on it.

The Lipsticks give out a color of natural pink, which changes shades with your body temperature. Say Hello! to your mood lipstick.The most startling thing about the lipstick is its look! The fairy-tale stick (as I like to call it) is infused with gold flakes and real, actual miniature flowers. 

If the definition of beauty had a picture, it would be this!

 I'm ordering one NOW, how about you?!

My new found love - coconut! Part 1

OK I’ve had coconut before and it tastes alright - its water, well yeah I always found it to be very refreshing, but that’s about it. I never could come down to jotting down the benefits of it, and how I should know it can change my life. But then again, thanks to the social media, which I’m proudly a part of, had this sudden boom on coconut, everywhere. Like health and beauty experts are literally telling us to eat, drink, rub, anything coconut. So obviously to tame my little curious inner self, I started doing some research. And this is what I’ve come down to. I’m proud to say, I am now a part of the coconut brigade and here by I present to you, The COCONUT!

First things first – it helps you lose weight! This is a big one, no kidding right?! The unique combinations of fatty acids tend to have a positive effect on your health, one of which is – and wait for it – WEIGHT LOSS! People have been resistant of coconut oil because of the fact that it has almost 90% of the “fatty – saturated – acids”. But that all is beyond us now, as the new studies show, that saturated fats aren’t harmful AT ALL! So no artery clogging guys, that’s a total myth!

And I’m not making this up, do some research on you own if you wish to. Also, something to ponder on … medium chain triglycerides, contained in coconut oil can have therapeutic effects on several brain disorders. Webmd


So here the run down *drum roll please*

1. Coconut oil contains fatty acids with powerful medicinal properties.
2. This magic potion can kill microorganisms - bacteria, viruses etc.
3. Help burn more fat. Specially the stubborn abdominal fat!
4. HOW? By reducing your hunger and keeping you from eating junk.
5. Fatty acids in coconut oil, tuned into Ketones (chemicals that the body creates to break down fats) can help reduce seizures. It can also boost brain function in Alzheimer’s patients.
6. Coconut oil help reduces blood cholesterol #Fact
7. Say goodbye to hair and skin damage, because coconut oil as a moisturizer can do you wonders!

Stay tuned for the second part of this blog, where I’ll be sharing unique and interesting ways to use coconut oil in your daily life. I promise, it’ll all be both fun and beneficial!

Here’s to staying healthy and charming!
