Super Simple Skincare Routine ( with Glycolic Acid and Rosehip Seed Oil)

Feb 17, 2020



The best thing you can do for better skin is sleep well and eat good.

Skincare only supplements the whole process. 

I get too many requests to share my skincare routine. I already did one skincare care routine post last year and much haven't changed. Yes, I am moving to one which are plastic packaging free (as much as I can) and also, simplifying it more and more because it is easier for lazy bones like me to follow a simple routine than a 9 step detailed one.

First, I think I will tell you the 'whys' of the products so that anyone can build the routine apt for their skin. (You must also know what your skin concerns are so that you can pick the ones that you need.) So, here I go:

Singapore Tourist Visa for Indian Passport

Feb 13, 2020 Singapore




Going to Singapore on Indian Passport and need Tourist Visa? Unfortunately, you cannot apply directly to the embassy. Instead, you will have to get it done by an authorized agent. 

Check the list of the agencies authorized and go for the one in your city - I will tell you why below.

Before applying, here are few things you must have:

1. The most obvious one - Passport. Make sure you have six months validity even on your date of return just to be safe. You will have to send the original passport with other document to the agents. Most agents will accept direct submission so choosing an agent that is in your city is a wise decision. 

2. Round trip flight tickets. You will need to have your passport for this. AirIndia provides cheap flights to Singapore (Around or less than Rs 10K) Though they are cheap, you still get big leg room and 30 kilos for check in baggage unlike Air Asia.

Booking your stay at Singapore, Asia

Feb 12, 2020 Singapore

Posing outside Raffles Hotel - one of the most expensive 5 Star hotels in Singapore


I am back from my 10 days trip to Singapore. It was not a solo trip. I traveled with my Mom - her first trip out of India. 

Retail space is very expensive in Singapore. So, they have the highest rates compared to the options in South East Asia. In fact, I found it expensive than even Rome and Barcelona. But, you need to book your stay before you request for your Visa if you have an Indian Passport. (More details on this later)

If money is not your concern then go ahead and book the best out there. If you like, you can even stay at Marina Bay Sands and dip in their infinity pool because the famous infinity pool there is only for guests.(There are ways to visit the top floor and at least see the pool. I will cover those points in another post.)

But, if you are a regular tourist who is willing to put money on things they see and on dining rather than on staying at fancy places, this is a post for you.

Stay Options at Singapore:

1. AirBnb: In Singapore, renting for less than 6 months is not allowed. Basically, AirBnB is not entirely legal. If you are caught staying at one then you might face trouble. In short, the cheap options are not at all available. Avoid facing issues and do not book an Airbnb.
