A Day At The Red Door Spa || New York

 A trip to New York is never complete without a visit to The Red Door Spas by Elizabeth Arden. This was my second visit and this time I took you guys along !!! My fiancé Vaibhav also indulged in a little spa time for the first time in his life! I don't think either of us will ever forget this day coz we went to Central Park after the spa and thats where he popped the question!!!! :)

My spa session started with the Signature Red Door Facial which is the best thing you can do for your skin!!! My skin wasn't great coz I had been travelling a lot and shooting videos non-stop for you guys, so it just lapped up all the pampering.  This is an elaborate facial with many steps and they use all these amazing Red Door Spa products to leave your skin as soft as a baby's bottom! You can watch lovely therapist working on my face in the video below.  After my facial I went in for a 50 minute Signature Massage which is definitely by far one of the best massages I have had. They have these cozy heated massage beds  that will make you relax as soon as you lie down. The therapist works on you part by part relaxing every muscle in your body! 

Vaibhav's not someone who goes to a spa regularly or gets a relaxing massage so I was curious about how he felt post all this! His spa session included the Gentelmen's Facial & the 50 Minute Signature Massage and here's what he had to say, "The massage was just what I needed after walking all over New York for five days. The aromatherapy aspect to the massage was really refeshing. It was my first time at a spa and I will be going back very soon "

I also bought some of my favourite Elizabeth Arden products from the store above the spa. I got the Eight Hour Cream & the Ceramide Capsules !!!! 

Thank you Red Door Spa's for spoiling me and pampering me on such a special day!!!

Here are some pictures and a video from my spa visit...

How To Deal With Unwanted Body Hair!!!

Hello My Lovelies!!!
                  Unwanted body hair is not a very talked about subject in India. For some reason we feel like its a taboo to have facial and body hair or to discuss the existence of the same! Many Indian girls are not allowed to remove their body hair until they get married which I think is absurd!!! Removing unwanted hair from your body should be for yourself and your personal hygiene and not  for any man!
                 Then there are all these hair removal myths, a razor will make your hair thick and bleaching will ruin your skin.  Removing body hair is just like dealing with any of your other beauty issues, its a mix of trial & error and convenience!!! I have tried everything from full body lazor to hair removal cream and lets just say the results are always temporary.
                  For more information on how I cope with body hair and a step by step tutorial on how to bleach your face watch my video!!!

 Each year the fashion industry in Mumbai looks forward to a calendar launch and no I am not talking about the Kingfisher calendar. Inega Model Management has been putting together a calendar since its incorporation but whats different about this calendar? It stands out among the rest because each year there is a striking socially relevant theme and each image has a story to tell. The 2014 calendar is a profound shared experience that culminates a better understanding of India . Twelve craftsmen creations dangling thread by thread take us through a beautiful journey thorough time. Each picture had it's own narrative, emotion and chronicles of the ever changing Indian landscape. Take a bow Prasad Naik & Team Inega this truly is a work of art!
