                                                       Wrinkle In Time Another Month and another unboxing and review of BooksNBeyond Box. A Lil late to write this… I know, I have been MIA lately for a longer period this time, but I am back. So, let’s get back to the unboxing! The February theme for BooksNBeyond Box was ‘Wrinkle In Time’ and glad I got my hands on it before it got sold out.

I was super elated to see the box just two days before my birthday, it was everything which would make you want to say 'it is perfect.' I did a full unboxing scene on my Instagram page...

Image credit- Nyx Hi, lovelies!! It's time for some makeup haul! On 2nd September 2017,  NYX Professional Makeup officially launched their first ever exclusive flagship store in Mumbai, Inorbit Mall and I was more than excited to witness, be a part of the makeup wonderland. Everyone probably knows that NYX is a cosmetic brand founded in LA by Toni Ko , It is named after Nyx, a Greek goddess of the night, and the name is quite a synonym with makeup junkies, MUA, and everyone for that matter.  One of the best things I love about this brand is that they are proud cruelty-free which give them a plus point for an animal lover like me. Okay,  so the store was to open at 10:00 am and by the time I reached people were all lined up to get their hands on their faves. Also, because the first 100 in line was supposed to receive exclusive NYX professional makeup merchandise & goodies, which was obviously one of the reasons they were willing to stand in the long...

The theme for July was 'Colour Drama’ and you get to choose between a pink and peach pouch. I got ...

The importance of saving money for the future is known to all. Earn and Save is how the cycle of our financial plan works. But, have you given a thought about investing your money on the right platform or what if we can do something different and better? So that you no longer have to worry about your finance. Life is full of uncertainty, and we need to be prepared for the unexpected. As much as saving is important, it is also important to invest and keep your future secure. We worry more about financial shortcomings rather than looking for a solution to overcome that problem. Here I am talking about investing your assets for the future by capitalizing on your present income. How about investing your money in mutual funds? It is a great option for those looking for an opportunity to grow money over a period of time by investing small amounts.  Most people have an incorrect notion of the risk associated with investing in mutual funds and are unaware of its benefits. ...

On 8 th November, 2016, when half of the world were impatiently waiting for the verdict of   US presidential election, India was shaken with news by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi , who (suddenly) announced the ceasing of ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 as a solution to crack down on   black money in the country .  This news sent the whole country into frenzy and people started rushing to the nearest possible banks and ATM’s either to deposit or withdraw the new denomination.
