Colors Of The Season - Anum Thanvi Sharif

Martini Olive:

Stuffed olives go well with a martini. But this lively green is perfect for a living room. It adds a coziness which can be accented with dark rich colors of chocolate browns. A restful, restorative green that has a lodge, country or traditional feel. It works on all walls or just one accent wall.

Ceylon Yellow:

Ceylon Yellow is “savory and spicy”, not sunshine bright yellow or flashy neon yellow, it's a little more of a muted and exotic type of yellow, making it extremely wearable for every day. This rich silky hue of mustard yellow sits somewhere between the true yellow of gold and the greenish undertones of brass. A PERFECT color for Fall.

Limelight:

Yellow is the brightest color of the visible spectrum, and it is the most noticeable of all colors by the human eye. It means happiness and optimism; it is the color of sun shining, or bright light and creativity. ... It is the color of high energy, enthusiasm, hope, fun, and cheerfulness.

Russet Orange:

A variable color yellower and darker than pumpkin, yellower than a mandarin orange, and redder and deeper than cadmium yellow. Zesty, citrus shades like Pantone Russet Orange feel right for summer, but brown undertones help this hue translate to cooler seasons, too.

Valiant Poppy:

It’s the tinge of red in Valiant Poppy that makes this color bold and exciting for Fall. This coming season, surprisingly bold colors are mixed with pastels that are typically expected in Spring and Summer.

Red Pear:

As the name suggests this mysteriously rich color is a hue “deliciously deep red, whose luscious depth entices”, as described by Pantone. It is a soft yet decadent burgundy with ample cool purplish undertones.

Ultra Violet:

Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future. "Ultraviolet" means "beyond violet", violet being the color of the highest frequencies of visible light.

Crocus Purple:

A deep, grayed purple is a welcome to early spring. Crocus are one of the first flowers to bloom each spring and so making it to the Pantone list this season makes a lot of sense.


Quetzal Green:

A deep elegant blue-green hue. In simple words, it’s a mellow version of teal and the name is derived from the Quetzal bird known for its strikingly colored, sexual dimorphisms.

Neubzal Blue:

While Navy Blue is the official choice for the winter season, this year the official color of 2018 is a saturated, intense, blue-tone seen a lot on the runways by Roksanda and Tibi.

Food For Face - Anum Thanvi Sharif

Why go through the hassle of mixing and grinding slimy, mushy fruits and veggies when you can just easily buy a jar of a good quality scrub/ mask, that too at a good price? I mean who has the time, and patience to put in all the effort?

I'll give you more than one good reason as to why you should switch to organic!

Firstly, you know what you actually are putting on your skin. Skin is the largest organ of your body, don't you wanna be sure to save it as much as possible from harsh chemicals? Natural ingredients are usually gentler to the skin and have less to no side effects. They are the best favor you can give yourself if you have sensitive skin. Using natural ingredients is environmentally friendly and if nothing has managed to convince you even now, using natural ingredients enhances your beauty more than any other man-made potion!

Here are my top favorite DIY homemade masks/ scrubs.

Avocado and Honey:
Avocado softens and improves the skin tone. Avocado can be used in lotions, creams, body oils, and shower gels daily without any adverse effects, Honey which is a great anti-bacterial, loaded with anti-oxidants moisturizes, soothes and clarifies the skin.

Turmeric Mask:
Turmeric is high in anti-oxidants widely used as a skin exfoliant to improve skin's texture. It also helps with inflammatory skin conditions, such as acne, dry skin, psoriasis, eczema and reduces pigmentation.

Banana & Cinnamon:
Banana helps soothe dry and irritated skin. Honey, as we all know, is beneficial as it replenishes skin and cleans it inside out. Now cinnamon may be the underdog in this mix but it is a nice touch to fight blemishes and open your pores for a perfect cleanse.

Egg Mask:
if you have dry skin that needs moisturizing, separate the egg and beat the yolk. oily skin takes the egg whites, to which a little honey add lemon can be added. If you are lucky to have a normal skin, use the whole egg.

Milk Mask:
Thoroughly coat your entire face with a thick paste and let it dry for as long as it takes to dry up. it will leave your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated

Pamper your beautiful self and happy hygge!!!!
