The Myth of Perfect Skin

Have you always been scared of putting up a selfie without filters or makeup? Have you been bullied because of your acne, uneven skin tone or freckled face? Do you constantly shy away from cameras due to this?

Then, repeat after me:

Perfect skin does not exist.
Perfect skin does not exist.
Perfect skin does not exist.

Because, this is the truth. The society has created these unattainable standards of how a “healthy” skin should look, i.e. clear, white, hairless and smooth. The reason behind these standards being unattainable is that no one can ever have “the” perfect skin.

Granny the new Nanny?

A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
As much as its true its questionable too!

It is an offensive and controversial topic to discuss how mothers from our generation dont fit in motherhood as well as our own mothers did. Our mothers were a true example of how a woman multi-tasks to the t.

Mothers from this generation are more career oriented, they are more ambitious, which is amazing, but at the cost of what?
Would your targets be as easy to achieve if your mother or mother-in-law weren’t as readily available as you consider them to be?

“Oh I drop my girl at her nani’s house at 8.15am and pick her up by 5pm”, thats what a mother had to say when she was asked how she manages work with her child. It might not be a very big deal to some, but could be a matter of concern for others.

5 ways for super-moms to recharge themselves

It is troubling to see how so many beautiful moms start neglecting their health once they give birth. It is as if they feel that by pampering themselves, they would be labelled as ‘selfish’ and ‘self-centered’. But, here’s the catch; nobody thinks that and neither should they because self-care is extremely important! Since children imitate their parents, if their mothers do not unwind themselves and stay on their toes all the time, their tinnies will end up doing the same when they grow up. Hence, giving yourself a time-out and nourishing your body and soul with some me-time will keep you and your family happy!
