The Year That Was...Flashback 2013

The year started with uploads of all my wedding files, from what my wedding was about to, how it went. From the Pooja, Tilak, Haldi, Mehendi to The Wedding Day!

The year also saw me going emotional for the first time on the blog, with me reliving the wedding moments as a bride. Telling you how I felt to be a Bride, word by Word

The blog needed a bit of re-invention once I got married. After all, how ever hard I try, it will be very difficult for me to get back in the mind frame where not finding the perfect nail-paint shade would have meant end of the world. But giving up on you guys wasn't an option, so while I still continue to obsess over the perfect red lehenga for my dream destination wedding on my 10th anniversary, I also decided to pass along a bit of advice from beyond the wedding day. So the blog now not only focuses on the bride but the New Bahu as well.

Inspiration: Old Indian Wedding

As the year draws to an end I look back......really back, into photo's that have no colors. Into weddings where wearing a 'fatta-hua' frock was ok, and the bride hadn't turned bridezilla (the word I don't think even existed back then). I look into weddings where having a photographer at your wedding was a big thing.

This is a wedding of 1946

Merry Christmas!

Notice!!

Will be back by Wednesday!

Love
Your Super sick and super tired blogger.

PS: I have had like the best blog post ideas while studying for my exams, I just hope I don't forget them! I did write them down somewhere, can't find my list....hmm...chalo will go back to studying.  *starts looking for the list instead,  where did I keep it?!*

My Pinterest Wedding

When I first found out about Pinterest I was like "what would I do with it!?" I have Facebook for everything, Twitter for everything else and a blog to post things on (read copy other peoples pictures and say 'wow I love this!' )

But doesn't every new social media start off like that.

" I dont want to move from Hi5, all my school friends are here!"

"Facebook!? what the hell is that? I am happy with Orkut, Facebook, or whatever its called, will NEVER ever beat it, mark my words!"

"Twitter?! What will people do with twitter? You can just write a status on it, no body can keep writing status all day long"

I guess Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram all are co-existing right now. Only difference now is that Facebook has become more of a family place than a cool hangout. (is that just me or do you agree?!)

Anyways, I did get around understanding the beauty of Pinterest and how you can make a perfect inspiration boards using it.

I don't really go around different sites pinning things but I do re-pin a LOT, I go crazy re-pinning at times.

My Pinterest account has quite a lot of pins by now, but if I had to put it in a nutshell then my Pinterest Wedding would look like this :

How does it concern me?

The show is a great platform for brides-to-be to plan their big day with the Indian wedding connosieurs like Sabysachi, Rohit Bal, Anita Dongre etc. (!!!!) and since it's a google hangout, women from anywhere in the world can be a part of it.

Crazy Indian Bride says: 

If you are a bride-to-be then do register! You will not get a better opportunity to talk with the crème de la crème of the wedding fraternity! Plus they have a contest in between hosted by Ambika Anand of Band Baja Bride!

If I had to choose which session I would want it would be a tough pick! Defiantly would love to know Masaba's view on upcoming trends, Divani's Saree Draping 101 would again be of great help to the new 'dulhan'. Sabyasachi and Rohit Bal for the only reason they are Sabyasachi and Rohit Bal, and ooh Anita Dongre! Love her Jaipur Bride. Come to think of it I would probably not miss any session. I will be watching online! and you??

Well...not really full time blogging. ....more like 1/3rd time blogging, 1/3rd time designing and 1/3rd taking care of everything else.  You get the picture.

Wish me luck!

Diet Plans

Fighting Fat since 1988

A few of you have asked what diet I am following I have certainly lost a few kgs and so has the hubby, the only reason I haven't lost a lot is that we always have some wedding or the other to go to, and who can resist yummy wedding food....

However, my diet is at the moment disrupted, my exams are coming up and I eat a LOT when I am stressed so I guess I will follow plans strictly in January.


A little note : The diet plan was advised to me by a friend who is a nutritionist, please note it was made according to my body type, its not 'harmful' or anything but results might vary! Oh and also I am a eggitarian so the diet plan is accordingly.

Day 1 & 2

Breakfast:  1 veg. sandwich made out of whole wheat bread, with milk/coffee/tea

Mid Morning: Fruits
