The Vogue Diaries

Taking care of your skin is not just for maintaining your image. Skin acts as a protection for your body.
Our ultimate goal is to choosing the right treatment for daily routine.
Aging skin is not a factor for only women who are aged around 30+.

Skin ages for the 16-year-old person too.

Our daily rituals, pollution and all sorts of activities we do will damage the top layer of skin which we can call it the aging process of the skin.

The best way to clean out the aged skin is exfoliation or simply the clay mask.

Most of us often think clay masks and sheet masks are used only by women. We even imagine the picture of women tying a towel to hair and applying a white cream on her face.

The skincare is only for women is a typical stereotype. Skincare is for both Men and Women.

The clay mask removes impurities and improves the sebum level not to rise above the mediocre.

This process helps the skin to stay normal and shining.

Keeping these on my mind, I've recently got my hands on the best product ever which is also a Unisex product.
'The Slova Renew face mask'.
I use this mask twice a week and have seen the improvement on my face within no time.





The phytocelltec technology which is used in this mask will help you to achieve the younger skin and healthy look.
The key ingredient in the mask is clay and bamboo silk.
It will help to improve your sebum level. If you have high sebum in your system, it will lead to oily skin. If you have low sebum in your system, it will lead to dry skin. To have normal skin, you must use a clay mask and moisturizer to keep your skin fresh and to maintain the sebum level.

Directions to Use the mask:
Take a pea-sized amount of cream and apply it all over face and leave it for 10-15 minutes.
Wash it off and find the instant glow on your face.

You can use a wet wipe or cotton pads to remove the mask off your face.

Jaipur- The pink city

The major part of the city is painted in pink color. Hence, the city of Jaipur is called 'The Pink City'. The color pink is a very welcoming color and it looked very soothing to the eyes.
Jaipur is a small town with the most beautiful and gigantic ancient mahals and bungalows dwelled in it.

Jal Mahal is majestic and elegant that is located in the center of Sagar lake. This mahal was built in the 17th century by Maharaja Mano Singh. The tourists are not allowed to go into the mahal but can go for boating in the lake and enjoy the view.

Street shopping
The street opposite Jal mahal is the best place to shop the puppets, bellies, keychains, embroidered umbrella and miniatures. The prices start at Rs.10 and don't forget to bargain with those vendors if you're looking to buy the products in bulk.
The lane in front of Hawa Mahal is very famous for Kundan jewelry, Meenakari jewelry and also the most beautiful bandini Sarees. The starting price of the bandini saree is Rs.600 and goes on till Rs.20,000.
Beware of those vendors who claim themselves to be the only sellers of bandini sarees. The astrologers take the privilege to hoax the tourists and mislead them to buy gemstones at a very higher price. Don't get carried away by their words.
Make sure to take home from the Jaipur streets.





Elephant park
Mahals Check, Shopping Check, Street food Check, Wait for a minute people, there is one more interesting place in Jaipur and you must definitely visit here.
Elephant Park is a destination where you can conduct more than 100 activities with the elephants. This place will be adored by the kids and the entry cost is Rs.300 for the basic ride and the price keeps on increasing depending upon the activities.

After visiting all these places, when then headed to the hotel named Park Regal for our stay for the night.
The hotel looked beautiful and the cost for one night is Rs.2500 which is promising.
We then had our dinner and went to bed.

Well, its 6.30 a.m in the morning and the morning sun woke me up with soft rays that fell on my cheeks and then my eyes.

I realised that I'm on my way to jaipur from hyderabad. I got on to this flight an hour ago and fell asleep.

I woke up after and hour ago and went through the books that were packed neatly in front of me.
One book says 'IN Flight Menu'.

I abruptly realised that I'm hungry. Travel makes us gain appetite for food! Yeah, that's the fact 😁
While I was going through the menu, the damsel in black and white came across and inquired

'Excuse me ma'am, Would you like to have something?'
The aroma of the morning food is very flavorful.

The menu says complimentary food is served if you pay the amount along with the flight ticket
I went through the menu and decided to have a bowl of Maggie noodles which I felt is the safest when you are in the journey.

The price was Rs.250. I was startled by the price. I placed the order and waited for the damsel to serve.

Within no time, she got me the bowl full of instant maggie.
The taste hasn't risen above mediocre. I finished it in five ounces.

After finishing up the involuntary flight food, I then waited for the flight to land in the pink city.

Hey there!
Long-time no see! I'm sorry about that!
I promise to put down my words on this blog very often from now on.

I'm glad that we are traveling together through my blog.

Day one in manali:

Day two in Manali has begun with a lot of enthusiasm by the cool climate in Manali. The soft rays from the sun reflected through the curtains woke us up welcoming into the day.

We finished our daily chores and then got into the minivan to surf around the city.
The Rohtang pass is closed said the driver in a very casual way.
Our faces started to dwindle after listening to those words.
People visit Manali especially to see the Rohtang pass - the only place which will snow for the entire year.
And that was the reason why we chose manali as our holiday destination.

The driver noticed the disappointment in our face and said that he will take us to a similar place where the snowfall happens occasionally.
Something is better than nothing. All of us agreed to what he confided and started our journey to Gulaba View Point

Gulaba View point 
The roads were pretty narrow and our journey towards the viewpoint has become a thrill. There were deep hollow space on either side of the road and the elders on the bus had goosebumps looking at the elevated roads.

After traveling for an hour, we reached the destination.
To my surprise, I haven't found snow but found a travel guide name 'bijilana' who was kind enough to navigate us through the way. She said that we are supposed to trek for 45mins to reach the snow.

We then started our trek to witness the beauty of the Himalayas.
The fresh air, the aroma of the blossomed flowers, the purest flowing water have given us a warm welcome throughout the trek.
It took more than 45 mins to complete the trek.
It was quite an experience.

The purest of the pure, The Himalayas were right in front of me. I was rejoiced out of happiness after viewing the true beauty of nature.
The ice which was freshly formed slowly melted into drops of water and then those drops formed a huge stream.
Nature's beauty cannot be compared with any other source. One must visit this place to experience what I've experienced.
We then came back to the parking area and got on to the bus.
This was the best trek in my life till date. I was lost in my thoughts thinking about the creator of the universe and thanked him for forging the nature that is surreal.








Mall road
Within no time, we reached the mall road. It was a huge road with a bunch of local stores that sold shawls, groceries and some of their traditional clothes.
There was nothing for the tourists to shop. We can just visit the mall road to discern how the stores were organized.
From there, we headed to the famous Hadimba temple.

Hadimba temple 
If you're visiting Manali, then the Hidimba temple must surely be one of your stops. The temple was built to worship the tribal queen Hidimba who was the wife of King Bheema from Mahabharata.
Locals say that the Deity has the power to capture and remove the impact of evil eye on people.
The temple was very peaceful.
After finishing the darshan, we came out and wore Manali's traditional outfits and snapped pictures.


The day was totally arduous. We headed back to the hotel room, had our dinner and went to the bed.
