Slim Women:-




Women with a slim figure should go in for cotton, tissue, tussar silk and organza sarees.This will give them fuller effect and make them beautiful and more attractive.





Plus Size Women :-







Fabrics like georgette,chignon,Mysore silk or chiffon have a lovely fall.Thus they sit snugly on the contours of the body.These fabrics make women of the heavier side look slimmer.



Short Women:-






Such women should avoid wearing saris with broad or big borders since it will cut through the vertical height of the saree making them look more short.They should go in for slim or no border saris.













Tall Women:-
Taller women usually can carry off any saris.Saris with broad and big borders look very elegant.












Women with fair skin can go in for colours varying from light,dark to contrasting colours since it will look best with their skin tone.

Natural ways of Oily Skin Care





NATURAL WAYS OF OILY SKIN CARE
Oily skin is a problem that is often handed down through generations within a family. Changes in hormone levels, such as those that occur during the teen years and early 20s, can cause skin to become oily and trigger outbreaks of acne.
But it's not just a problem for teenagers and young adults. Many women notice oily skin problems around the time of their menstrual periods, during pregnancy, or at menopause. Some types of birth control pills can also increase skin oiliness.
If you are one of them who have oily skin and feel though forever fighting and losing battle to remove the shine from your chin and forehead then following are the tips which will help you to manage oily skin so that it looks great..!!


Home Remedies Treatments for Oily Skin:-
Keep skin absolutely clean:-


It is important to keep the skin clean by washing it at least twice a day. Try the glycerin variety, generally available with most of drugstores.





Almonds and honey:-

The combination of almonds and sweet honey works as a gentle facial scrub for removing oils and dead skin cells. Mix a small amount of ground almonds with honey to make a paste. Gently massage the paste into your skin with a comfortably hot washcloth. Rinse with cool water.
Try aloe vera:-
Apply aloe vera gel to your face to absorb oil and clear out pores. Use the gel onto your face two to three times a day (especially after washing), then let it dry.
Use water-based cosmetics:-



Live without makeup if you can or at least without foundation. If at all you feel to use makeup, choose water-based products over oil-based types, and apply on spot rather than coating your entire face. In general, stick with powder blushers, and avoid cream foundations.


Wipes and Astringents:-

Keep wipes in your bag for quick touchups .Wipe your face with astringents while going to bed.
Moisturizers:-
Apply a sunscreen to the face before going outdoors in daylight.
Scrub and Masque:-
Scrubbing and masques on face can reduce oiliness
Cold water rinses:-
Rinse your face with cold water if you want to avoid chemicals.
Hands off your face during the day:-
Keep your hands off your face during the day. Hands deliver excess oil and dirt.
Lemons:-
Mix equal parts lemon juice and water, pat on face, and let dry. Rinse first with warm water followed by cool water for a refreshing treat.
The above tips will help you to manage your skin to look great and I will also like to add that oily skin people have an advantage over normal skin people as it help to keep skin look younger. People with oily skin over the time tend to wrinkle less than people with dry or normal skin.
If you have any querries on this topic you can post on my blog.
Your feedback will help me to keep my blog more informative :)

Sitting idle at home after marriage and wanted to do something of my own.But what to do and how to do was a big question.Answer to this I got when one day I saw a wedding planner broucher and suddenly my mind clicked, why not to start wedding solution as I have a thorough knowledge about places to buy trousseau and all the things which is required for wedding
It was just a thought but whether it will work was another question.But I am thankful to my husband to give solution for this.On my Birthday he gifted me a business book which motivated me and I realised that my idea will definatly help many of my friends as most of the wedding planner are expensive and only high profile people can afford it.
So that's how I am starting "iWedding Solutions". Wish me luck :-)
