Jumpstart your Fitness Goals with Hannspree Smartwatch : Fashion Meets Technology
Friday, November 29, 2019
With a busy lifestyle and long working hours, maintaining a good level of fitness and motivation can get really difficult - but thankfully we now have the best of technology for help, and sometimes in the most surprising ways.
I am talking about one of the most efficient ways to track your fitness levels while still looking stylish - a fitness watch. And I have found out a perfect smartwatch that's not only technologically advanced but also wouldn't burn a hole into your pockets : Hannspree Hanns.w Smartwatch - which is now available on Amazon India.
The latest offering from Hannspree Hanns.w, this smart watch is like your all-around life coach that will inspire you to get fitter and better.
Here's looking at its main features :
• You can use your favorite picture in your phone as the watch face
• Camera Control, Pedometer, Blood Oxygen Monitor, Music Control , Mobile Alert and many more one-touch functionalities
• Heart beat tracker : The watch features an all day resting and active heart rate tracker that consistently monitors your heart during different sports activities as well
• Elegant and versatile watch band, Lightweight design
• Fast 1 hour charging with magnetic plug on back of the watch.
If you're still wondering why you need this smartwatch, well imagine this -
Hannspree Hanns.w Smartwatch can not only receive your calls or texts, but also help check your blood pressure, blood oxygen as well as monitor your sleep. And if that's still not enough, it would also help monitor your step count and would congratulate you once you achieve your daily count.
Also, one full charge will easily last you a whole week or even more, depending on your usage. The watch also supports Hindi language, isn't that pretty cool?
Ever since I have got my hands on this watch, I wear it almost all the time - and it has not only motivated me to meet my daily step goals (after all who doesn't want to hear a congratulatory message every day about having met your fitness goals); but also to look at my overall fitness as I can regularly keep a check on my sleeping habits, blood pressure and heart rate.
In fact, I had no clue that our heart rate could fluctuate during activities like drinking coffee or having a stressed-up meeting. Being more aware about my heart rate has helped me analyse my daily life activities better and acts as a reminder that I need to calm down at certain times.
Verdict : With its reasonable price-tag and stylish looks, I think Hannspree Hanns.w Smartwatch is definitely a must-have if you are also looking for a fuss-free, minimalistic and smart watch that gives you what you pay for - step count, fitness tracker and major phone function control; while also working out as a versatile accessory with all your outfits.
So go get your hands-on this cool smartwatch now on Amazon.in!
Also, if you are an Amazon Prime member, you can avail a 10% off on the watch between Nov 29 to Dec 2.

Experiential - SRL Diagnostics | One Stop for all Healthcare Solutions
Sunday, June 16, 2019
When it comes to our health , we've often asked ourselves 'Am I healthy?' to 'How healthy am I?'—this shift in attitude has been spurred by the ease of health check-ups and medical tests that one no longer needs a doctor's appointment to carry out. Thanks to modern technology, everything from our blood to hair strand can be swabbed from home and sent off for detailed analysis to a pathology lab.
And its really essential to get regular screening tests as they can catch a health condition even before it starts showing symptoms, helping you take preventive measures. These check-ups could be quarterly, twice a year or yearly. This becomes even more important if you have a lifestyle which makes you prone to health risks.
One lab that has made health checkups easier and simpler is SRL Diagnostics Lab - that is present across major cities in India and is one of the most preferred labs by medical experts.
As part of my regular health check-up, I recently had the chance to visit SRL Lab in Goregaon, Mumbai and review their services first-hand.
About SRL Diagnostics :
About SRL Diagnostics :

The brand has also recently bagged the prestigious ‘Best brand in diagnostic services in pathology and radiology’ award at The Economic Times Best Brands award- 2019."
Experiential :
SRL has a large number of collection points across India, making it easier for those leading a busy lifestyle or those who don't have a lab nearby to get their test samples collected from their house as per their convenience and check the results online or get them delivered to their house.
However, I decided to visit the lab as I also wanted to experience their lab facilities, which definitely didn't leave me disappointed.
Their Goregaon lab is super specialised with a smooth and structured process right from entering the lab to getting your test reports. I have also shared a brief lab tour on my Instagram page which will give you an idea about their high quality standards and efficiency.

With SRL, your regular health-checkup will also feel like a “wonderful” experience, as you can not only get specific medical tests done but can also choose from their various full body checkup that have been customised to suit different health needs and lifestyles.
I decided to go for their Fitness Care - Weight Control package that helped me analyse my overall health as well as any underlying reasons for weight gain through a series of 74 tests that cover general health, diabetes, thyroid, inflammation and various other tests.

I was surprised to know that I could all get these tests covered in just Rs 3,599 which is less than half of what one might have to pay if these tests are done individually.
While I was waiting to collect my test reports, I was glad to know that they have a really comfortable cafeteria where one can relax and have a cup of tea, especially after a long and exhausting day.
But the best part definitely is that you can also get the tests reports online, if you want to save yourself the hassle of visiting the lab again.
After seeing my reports and discussing with my family doctor, I felt quite relieved that I am not suffering from any ailments and all my major health reports were normal. I am glad that I chose SRL Diagnostics as mine and my family's healthcare partner.
After all, Prevention is Better than Cure!

Hey lovelies!
Spring is my favourite time of the year. After being bundled up all winter in monochrome styles and layers of clothing, spring allows me to embrace the amazing weather with flowy silhouettes, bright colors and feminine prints.
It's the start of summer already, so I thought its the perfect time to do a recap to my favourite Spring looks of 2019. Below are three of my favourite looks of last season (that some of you might have seen already on my Instagram account) - so browse through if you are also2 on a hunt for statement wardrobe pieces this year :
Loving Them Culottes
I have these culottes in my wardrobe since sometime now but I have finally found a confidence to style them in many different ways. And I loved how it looked with this chic off-shoulder top that was actually a part of a co-ords set.
I plan to wear these culottes all around the summer, paired with different tees, as these are one of the most comfortable pants in my wardrobe.
Wrap It Up
Floral prints and spring are made for each other, and when mixed with a feminine silhouette - it makes for a perfect statement making outfit, just like this wrap-around dress from Shein. The bright and bold floral print makes the dress more chic and perfect for a romantic day out or a brunch with your BFFs.
Skirtin' Around
Skirts have always been my first love, and I never miss a chance to buy a trendy skirt and when I saw this season's hottest trend - a brown suede skirt - I knew I had to have it in my wardrobe.
While a skirt like this might look difficult to pull off at first, there are many cute ways to style this skirt all around the year.
While I paired my skirt with a striped tee, you can also pair it with a sequinned blouse or a denim shirt for a trendy look.
So, which of these outfits is your favourite? I know I have not been blogging very actively this year, but I definitely plan to start writing more often - share my latest outfits, hauls and other tips & tricks in the coming posts.

Do Me A Favour, Let's Play #InstaPichkari with Mother Dairy | Happy Holi 2019
Wednesday, March 20, 2019
Hey lovelies!
First Holi after marriage is always special. Last year when I got married in March, I missed the Holi celebrations as I was busy gearing up for Mehendi which was just a day after Holi. And that's why I had spent this colourful festival traveling from Ludhiana to Delhi for my wedding functions.
And this year again, when its supposed to be my first Holi as a married woman (and you all know how special are the First festivals after marriage for every Indian girl, thanks to our rich culture and traditions) - my husband is actually traveling and we would not be able to celebrate Holi together.
But you know what, my favourite milk brand Mother Dairy just gave me the best idea to celebrate my first Holi with my husband and that too in an eco-friendly way. That's #InstaPichkari 😍😍
Wondering what am I talking about?
Well, this Holi you can simply put colour on your loved ones who always find one or other excuse to avoid playing Holi, by putting colors on their picture through your phone and sharing that Holi Waali Picture with them.
Also, don't forget to make a special 'Thandai' for your loved ones to add on to the celebrations and to make the good times last longer on this festive day. If you are wondering what is 'thandai' - it's a very popular festival drink made using milk, saffron, cardamom and various other ingredients as per taste.
If you want to double the celebations, also prepare yummy Gujiya using the Mother Dairy Buffalo ghee, flour, sugar and other ingredients. (Click here for the recipe)
And if still someone makes an excuse to not play Holi with you, tell them in style that 'Milk peene aur Holi khelne ki koi umar ni hoti 😁'
Don't forget to share your #InstaPichkari pictures on Instagram and tag @motherdairy in your post!
Have a joyous and colourful Holi

Dear 2018, Thanks for being good to me
I know this post is a little too late, but I have been traveling and not keeping well since last couple of weeks. But well, its never too late to write and I finally got my groove back and decided to start the first post of the year by looking back at the highlights of 2018.
2018 was an year of new beginnings for me as I had my roka ceremony on 30th December of previous year and within a couple of weeks, the wedding date was fixed for March. While I had some other plans for 2018, I didn't know that everything was about to change for me.
The first quarter of 2018 kept me busy with wedding shopping, planning, quitting my 9to5 job (I was working with Alibaba Group) and preparing for my big move to Mumbai - a city I had never stayed in before for more than a few days.
Here's a glimpse to my wedding functions (you can read my complete wedding series here)

| Gown : Dolly J |

| Lehenga : Sabyasachi |
I moved to Mumbai in the middle of March, and the second of quarter of 2018 passed by settling in the new city and experiencing the married life. These few months were definitely the hardest as well, as I had never taken a break from work and here I was, having left my full time job, trying to settle into the life of a freelancer while still getting to know my husband (as we had a very brief courtship period) and managing a household all alone for two.

| Dress : Westside |
While earlier I always thought about pampering myself, now I had to think about my life partner and my new family as well. I focused these few months on writing and stayed off from any major campaigns as well. Also, I spent my time exploring Mumbai and getting familiar with this city that I never thought would be my home.

However, the last quarter of 2018 wasn't that good for me health wise, as I had a major foot injury while I was on a family trip to Ranthambore and I spent the last two months basically indoors and it really made me feel low - as I couldn't work out, plan more outfit shoots or basically go about my daily life due to my injury.
There were definitely some good moments too - like my trip to Ranthambore and Mahabaleshwar, first Diwali with my new family, my birthday celebrations with friends and family; and definitely my award for the Most Influential Content Marketing Professional that was awarded by CMO Asia.
Overall, if I look back at 2018, while I did have a few accomplishments and new beginnings, I didn’t spend as much time writing as I’d have liked to. While I could blame this on a lot of things but simply put I didn’t put enough time aside to write.
Come new year and I am on the road to recovery now and already feeling a lot better and determined to make 2019 better and bigger.
This year I have decided to be more organised and divide my time equally in building content for the blog as well for my social media channels, as I have come to understand that while I love doing shoots and preparing visual content for Instagram, writing on the blog gives me more creative satisfaction.
So, I have a lot content ideas that I will be putting in action soon while also planning to start my Youtube channel that I have been thinking about since a long time.
Apart from work, as foot injury is healing - I plan to get back to my workout routine and fitness would be one of my main goals this year.
Before I end this blog post, I would love to know which posts did you enjoy reading on my blog over the past year? What would you like to see more of in 2019? Don't forget to leave your views in the Comments below!
Here's to a very joyous and prosperous 2019!
Love
