Many of us want to live a simple life with minimum things around us. But decluttering the house can be exhausting and overwhelming at the same time.

If the choice is between the devil and the deep blue sea, it can be tough to pick one. Similarly, if you have to choose a definitive winner among waxing and shaving, it can be impossible to decide which one has a major edge over the other! Both are so different and yet help you achieve the same thing – hair-free skin that you can flaunt with confidence! That said, surely one of them has to be the absolute best method of hair removal. So, which one is it? Let’s pit them against each other to find the victor amongst the two! Round 1 – Ease Of Use First up, let’s see which one of these methods is easier to carry out: Waxing requires you to apply a thin layer of hot or cold wax on the desired area, which then needs to be removed with the help of a waxing strip. To get yourself waxed, you either have to go to a parlor or book an at-home appointment with a professional. Of course, you can do it yourself, but it’s a pretty messy process. Shaving, on the other hand, comes with no such c...

Not all of us are morning people, right? I mean, I know that I’m not, for sure! And I cannot, for the love of God, ever understand how some people can be so bright and chirpy right from the moment they open their eyes. I mean, are they made of a different mold? Is their DNA altered? Are they even human? But whether we like it or not, we all have to wake up on time every day, day after day, if we don’t want our lives to end up in chaos! So, what do sleepy-heads like us do? Is there a magical land where we can all migrate to that doesn’t need us to wake up at unearthly hours? We all know the answer to that question, don’t we? There isn’t. And no matter what we do, we have to ultimately make peace with the fact that waking up in the morning is not a choice – it is a compulsion. And we will have to do it, no matter what. But does that mean that we are cursed to a lifetime of drowsiness and sleepy yawns? Well, definitely not! Which is why we are writing this article for you. There are act...

It almost seems like the entire world is on a fitness fad these days! I mean, wherever you look, everyone’s either discussing paleo diets or keto diets or talking about how CrossFit helps you keep plateaus at bay as opposed to the same routine at the gym every day. And while we are not saying that it’s a bad thing, sometimes it just becomes very overwhelming trying to keep up with what fitness has come to mean these days. However, we feel that sometimes, in this mad rush to keep up with what’s trending in fitness currently, we lose touch with what actually makes a difference when it comes to being fit. Because, honestly, fitness is not just about the shakes that you drink or the maneuvers that you do with the gym equipment. It is so much more than that. We often tend to forget this and neglect what is most crucial when it comes to being healthy – having a healthy and fresh mind. In fact, we have become so far removed from this concept that when someone talks about this – the health o...

We all have heard quite often that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. But there is more truth to this than we can imagine. Men and women have different approach and perspectives towards everything in life. Here are 10 of the hilarious differences between them: 1. Home Decor Whether it’s a small house, a studio, or even just one room, women mostly have a well-organized space as opposed to men. The living spaces men inhabit are generally scattered and untidy. Women practically know where the stuff in their house is while men remain clueless about their belongings in their own house. 2. Grooming While both men and women groom themselves well before stepping out, the personal styling products they use is what makes all the differences. Men use basic grooming products sans make-up products unless they belong to the glamour industry. Whereas women use a wide range of products, including make-up and personal hygiene, especially high-quality renowned brands. 3. Bon Appetit It...

Apart from the five basic senses, we humans and animals are born with a sixth sense – our instinct. This sense has no logical explanation and comes naturally to us, without having to think. Some believe that this ability is a gift from above, while others say it is developed over time with experience. Whatever it is, we should learn to listen to our instincts. Like we instinctively run when we see something dangerous, we should learn to stop a while and listen to what our instincts say in our daily life. These come in the form of obvious as well as subtle, blink-and-you-miss signs. Here are 5 ways to tell when your instincts are providing you with a “danger ahead” sign! 1. Gut Feel Says Something Is Not Right Sometimes, when you are getting ready in the morning to meet someone for a business requirement, you get that queasy feeling in your tummy.

Whether you’re using skin care to treat acne or to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, it isn’t an overnight process. It takes time and consistency to achieve results from skin care, but how long do we actually have to wait to see results? Is it the typical four to six weeks? To get the answers, we reached out to dermatologist Annie Chiu for her advice. Acne and Exfoliating Products: 2 weeks to 1.5 months If you suffer from acne, it can be a hassle to wait four to six weeks for a product to kick in, especially if it doesn’t end up working for you, but Chiu says you need to have patience: “Some products take longer than others. This depends on the type of acne they are addressing and the levels of chemical concentrations.” Spot treatments, like the  Dr. Oracle A-Thera Tea Tree Peeling Sticks,  that are formulated with a blend of AHA and BHA, tend to work the quickest since t...
