The Vogue Diaries

Hello there!

You all know how much I love food. I'm a connoisseur indeed.
I'm a fan of cute little things and pretty little cafe's.

A new place in town has captured my heart for its tasty food, ambiance, and infrastructure.
And the place is "Bird Box Cafe" which serves continental food.

Right from the Starters to desserts, I loved every single dish they served.

Starters
Jalapeno Broccoli Cheese Poppers and Zucinni Tots were served as Starters.
The subtleness of cheese popped out for every single bite.
And Jalapeno broccoli was so soft and luscious.
Zucinni Tots was my favorite dish and it tasted so yum.




The pasta
Red Sauce pasta is my all-time favorite continental food. The fragrance was so nice and it was served very hot. It was mouth-watering and was the best pasta I've ever had.

Ratings:
Food - 4.5/5
Infrastructure- 4/5
Ambiance - 5/5

On the overall, I would rate 4.5/5

The cost for two people will be Rs.800 which is extremely reasonable.

So guys,
Do visit the place and I hope you will have a great time along with some amazing food and music.

Thank you for reading.

Lots of love,
Sneha Polapragada.

Hello there,

I hope you have liked the case study which I have written earlier.

In today's post, we will learn about how to start a blog if you are a beginner.

Let us do it in stepwise.

Step one:
Be specific.

When you're a newbie, you must actually know what your interests are.
When you want to start a blog you must be very keen about a particular category you are interested in.
For example, Someone is very keen on finance and some of them are keen about food.
So, it is very important to be specific about what you're going to start with.

Step two:
Choose a right platform :
Now that you have an idea with you, You need to choose a platform to write your blogs.

You can choose Wordpress, Blogger, Tumbler, Wix and so on.

Since you're a newbie you can start it up with Google's Blogger.
The crux of using WordPress or any other platform is, You will have to buy a domain name and other services if you want to use its complete services.
Whereas in blogger everything is free initially. You don't have to pay for taxes or any other additional services.

Once you are used to it, then you can change your platform to any other site.
*/We will learn about changing the platform without disturbing your SEO in other article/*


Step three:
Write frequently
It is very much important to post at least once a week. Your audience must not get bored with your blog. They must get engaged and entertained.
So try to post frequently.

Step four:
Maintain SEO
To maintain Search Engine Optimization, you have to use the right keywords.

1. If you're writing a post related to fashion, try to get some keywords form hashtag analytics website.

These websites help to build engagement and reach.
Once you get the right keywords, try implementing them in your article.

Right keywords will help you to get more visibility in Search Engines as in google.

For example, if someone is searching about 'fashion tips in summer', Your article will get displayed on Search Engine if you have used the word 'fashion tips' frequently in your article.

2. You have to design an appropriate cover picture for your article.
If the cover picture looks attractive,people will visit your blog and read the articles you have written.
You can use Canvas and Photogrid to edit your cover pictures.

3. Always maintain an Email list.
When you're just starting, it is obvious that you don't have enough subscribers as a newbie.
Collect email Ids from people and send them your post as a group mail every week.
If people like what you wrote, then they will subscribe to your Blog.

So guys,

I hope this post has given you some insights about how to start a blog.

Today's Excercise:

Take a paper & pen and jot down your interests about your favorite blog category.
Fashion, Food, Education, Technology or anything as such.

Once you have finalized your idea, open a blogger site and start writing it.

Also, if you have any queries, do write them in the comment section below. I would love to answer them all.

Lots of love,
SP 

Hello There!

So lately, I've been to three amazing restaurants and felt like sharing my experiences with you all today.

Hashi :

Moshi Moshi!

Hashi is a new Japanese restaurant in town which serves Cantonese Cuisine exclusively.
The place is neither too big nor too small. It is just appropriate.
The surroundings are very very hygiene and it gave me a total Japanese vibe with a wooden wall piece hung on the wall.
The interiors are decent and to the corner of the restaurant, they got live Sushi making stall.

The fragrance of the Sushi was all over the room and felt amazing.

We were served fried rice, Plain noodles with sauce and Sushi for the main course.
For the desert, I had a Ginger flavored ice cream.
I must say, it is the star dish served at the place.
They tasted so yum and luscious.
I still get water in my mouth describing the dishes.
If you guys are visiting the place, I want you all to taste the mentioned dishes.

I really love the place and I will go back there again pretty soon

Ratings:
Infrastructure: 4/5
Food: 4.5/5
Ambiance: 5/5
Hygiene: 5/5

On average rating is : 4.5/5

Gazebo : 

The buffet is a category which I often prefer to Al-a-cartè when it comes to food.
The Gazebo restaurant has got a buffet.

Serving the starters at the table and Self-serving the Main course is the wonderful part of Buffet.

Crispy corn and baby corn were served as starters. I felt that crispy corn was got low spices and it was served very cold. It also tasted rancid. Baby corn was too mushy and I haven't liked the taste at all.

The main course has got both veg and nonveg dishes.
Biryani, Jira rice, 2 dry curries, 2 wet curries, dal, sambar, Rasam, curd, curd rice, plain rice, fruits, and sweets were served.

I'm not at all happy with the hygiene and the infrastructure. The food's taste haven't rose above the mediocre. This place is a one time visit and needs a lot of improvement.

Ratings:
Infrastructure: 2/5
Food: 2/5
Ambiance: 3/5
Hygiene: 1.5/5
On the overall, the rating will be 2.5/5

Bonito dessert bar :

 The Bonito dessert studio has got the most amazing food ever.
I felt like I was having a luscious England breakfast.
This dessert bar studio has got England's food cultur to hyderabad.
The Veg and Non-Veg Breakfast combo is the yummiest food ever and they also got an innumrable number of cakes , sweets and brownies.
The doughnut is one of the mouthwatering dishes available there.
The hygiene and infrastructure is to the point and I would want to go back there whenever I find free time

I would love to congratulate and thank @bonito.thedessertstudio for bringing up the England culture here in Hyderabad.
The most interesting part is the entire combo is very very affordable.
For two people it will cost nearly Rs.500 including taxes. .
.
Guys!
Do visit the place and You will return with yummymummies in your tummies. .

Ratings:

Infrastructure: 5/5
Food: 4.5/5

On the overall, the rating will be 4.5/5








Ram Ram sa,

The culture of having Rajasthani food here is Hyderabad is bought here by The Khandani Rajdhani restraunt.

The place looks dim, but manageable. This place is specialized in serving the huge rajasthani thali.

The price for a person is Rs. 500 and the dishes served were very very yummy.
There were about 29 traditional Rajasthani dishes served in one thali plate.

As part of the mango festival, aamras( freshly. Squeezed mango pulp) is also served.

The entire place gave me a vibe of typical rajasthani locality and I surely did like it.

Ratings:

Infrastructure: 3/5
Food: 3.5/5
Ambiance: 4/5
Hygiene: 3/5
On the overall, the rating will be 3.5/5

So guys,
That was it for now.
I hope this post of mine helps you to pick up a food destination.

Health is wealth is said to be an important saying of everyone's lives.
Being fit is not just about working out but eating healthy.
When you have a perfect diet, you look fit and also healthy.

About Saladefy:

Saladefy has come up with a unique platform which sells only salads.

I'm basically not a fan of leaves and Salads, but after going through 'Saladefy website, I wanted to try something very different from the routine.

I've ordered Rainbow Salad, Mixed green Salad and also Watermelon refresher.
Rainbow salad is my most favorite among all.
These salads have got all the ingredients which have got all the necessary minerals and proteins that are necessary for Human bodies.

The interesting part is all the ingredients are collected from local farms of Hyderabad.

They also have a home delivery service . They deliver within 30 minutes after the order is placed.
If you want to switch from your regular diet routine and want to try something new, you must defenitely try Salads and refreshments from Saladefy.

They also have weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions. You check them in the gallery below.

Hey guys!

Hope you're doing great.

Today, I got you all some information about a very interesting place in town.

We often see launches and hoardings about Hair Salons and Beauty parlors.

This time it's a launch of a Nail Salon which is exclusively established for nails.

They say if you have a perfectly manicured nails, you are officially "An Adult"

I'm someone who always looks up at having a very perfect trimmed and toned nails.

Tip & Toe nail bar has come up to fulfill all my needs.
They have trimmed and fixed my nails as the way I wanted them to be.

The Service was so good and quintessentially outstanding.

Someone who is a chronic nail biter, who occasionally paints nails or have chipped nail paint on nails ?
Relaxx girls
The Salon is just bulit for you!
They have amazing equipment just for your nails.

The Smudge-free UV nail paints stay on nails for over a month and the acrylic nails look very real and beautiful.

My nails usually grow very long. They're very healthy and fine.
To experience the acrylic nails, I cut down my original nails and got acrylic nails done.

I really loved my first experience and would love to get it done again.

Tip and Toe nail bar also got a cordless UV gel paint Dryer for the very first time in Hyderabad.
They also have launched their very own UV gel paint product line which is called TNT professional paints.

Hey guys!

I've been planning to give you all some lessons about blogs, blogger, influencers, and influencer marketing.

This course is basically designed to make you understand how collaborations with bloggers work? And how do bloggers and influencers actually make money.

/*Along with the readings, you will find some exercises to practice*/

So to begin with,
I would love to introduce you all to the "Daniel Wellington" a classic collaboration which every influencer wishes for!

You need to first understand what is influencer marketing before learning about DW collaboration.

Read about influencer marketing here if you haven't read before!

Hope you have got some insights about influencer marketing.

Have you ever wondered how influencers get a ten thousand rupees 'wrist watch' absolutely for free?
You will understand everything after going through the article.

Daniel Wellington - the brand
DW is a Swedish company which was founded in 2011 by Filip Tysander.
On average, the brands make money of $200million dollars every year.
From the past four years, the sales have gone from $1 million dollars to $200million.

So can you guess what strategies they might have implemented to grow their business?

Undoubtedly they have implemented a strategy called "Influencer Marketing".

As part of the collaboration, a few selected influencers from a niche will be given a watch along with a coupon code.
In return, the influencer has to promote the watch and brand.
The coupon code given by the brand will have a 15% discount on every new purchase.
The influencer will promote the watch and code at their particular niche.

Someone from the influencers target group purchases the watch using the code will get an offer of 15%.
For example, if the watch is for Rs.10,000/- using the code, it comes down to Rs.7500/-
The percentage of that watch's sale will be given to the influencer.

How does this benefit Daniel Wellington ?

Firstly, DW wants a social presence which will automatically happen through influencers when they promote the watch on various social media platforms as in face book, instagram and so on.

Second, when the influencer of a particular niche, will promote the watch, people who are in the surroundings and have no idea about DW will get to know about the brand.

third, When the targeted group purchases the watch, the brand gets 70% of the amount
For example, if an influencer has got 5000 followers, at least 10 of his followers will use the coupon code and purchase the watch.
One watch equals to Rs.10,000/-
Ten watches equal to Rs.1,00,000/-

After cutting down the percentage of an influencer, Daniel Wellington will recieve
Rs.70,00/-.

So, for Rs.10,00/- DW will gain Rs.60,000/- .

Every year Daniel Wellington will manufacture 20,00 watches just for the influencers.
They send a sample watch to the influencer and expect a promotion for them which indeed gives them huge returns.

That is how DW makes money.

How can you collaborate with DW?

There are two ways to collaborate with DW

One, The PR's from DW will look at your social media profiles and will send you a request for collaboration.

Two, You can directly mail to the official influencer program of DW and request them to collaborate with you.
Once, your profile gets verified, you will be sent a sample watch.

Mail id: collaborateindia@danielwellington.com

So guys,
I hope you got some good knowledge after reading the post.

Also, I hope this post will help you to get a Collaboration with DW.

Hello there!

I guess its been so long since we met.

But Today, I am back to give you all some insights about a great initiative taken by N cold
pressed.

A couple of weeks ago, I've been to N cold pressed's Morning risers party 4.0 which was held at
Karma, Hyderabad.

I have attended many events launchings, as in fashion, lifestyle and so on.
This was my first time to attend an event which is related to workouts and personal health care.

Yes,
You heard me right. Morning risers party hosted by N cold pressed is a workout party where,
personal training and Zumba dance basic training are given by the topmost trainers of the
country.

Plenty of people forgo their happy hours to fit in exercise and workout sessions.
These kind of events motivate people to let go of procrastination and participate actively in
physical activities every day.

About Morning Risers party

The party happens on the First Sunday of every month and is started at 7.30. A.m in the morning.

It has begun with a set of regular warm-up exercises followed by core body workouts. After finishing up the personal training the real fun, Zumba dance had begun.

The total duration of the workout was 60 minutes which helps you toning the total body.
The entry fee is Rs.500

Why Morning Riser's party?

daily lives

Second, the amount collected as the entry fee is donated to a foundation as part of Corporate
Social Responsibility which indeed concludes my blog title.

Kudos' to Ncold Pressed for taking up this wonderful initiative and I hope they do many more
versions of Morning Riser's party.

So guys,

Confetti?
What comes into your mind when you think of confetti?

Those pretty-pretty round papers which are used at wedding celebrations comes into the mind.

When I came across this store Eat Confetti, I wondered how can anyone actually eat Confetti.

I planned to pay a visit to the store and see what was happening there.

I visited the store a couple of weeks ago.

As soon as I entered the place, I felt like it was a fantasy world. I always love color hues which were seen in that place. The place has got desserts exclusively.

I dreamt of being in a candy world where I am left alone with candies, chocolates, candy burritos and so on.
This place reminded me of that cute little dream of childhood.

The ice creams and chocolates and candies were so colorful and I felt like grabbing them all at once.

I have gone through the menu and I ordered Candy Floss burrito.

I often ate a spicy burrito at Mexican restaurants. I tried a sweet burrito for the first time.

Sugar candy was made in various colors and wrapped around ice cream which indeed looked like a burrito.

This place has become one of my favorite places in Hyderabad after my visit and after tasting that yummy confetti

Guys,

Do visit the place and have a colorful Candy ice cream. I'm sure that you will go back with yummy food in your tummies.



Hope you have liked my review.

Thank you for reading the post.

Hey Guys!

Hope you are doing great!

I hope your holidays are going well. But I guess this summer's heat is hurting everybody in every possible way.

I had to go out to a grocery store last week in the mid noon. I had to walk about a four five steps to reach the store. The moment I got down the car I felt like my skin was burning completely.

I looked at all corners of the road and wondered how people are even travelling on bikes, walking on the roads and waiting for the buses at the bus stops.

Especially, the people who wait for their buses at bus stops have a horrible life during scorching summer.

After coming back home I was scrolling through my Instagram, and found an ad which said Symphony Cool Mobile Bus stop.

The ad fascinated me very much and I texted them to learn about it. They asked me to come over and experience the Mobile Bus Stop.

The very next day, I visited to Koti Bus Stop where "Symphony Cool Mobile Bus Stop" was parked.

The Symphony Team has taken a mini bus and fixed Air coolers inside. People who wait for their bus at the stop don't have to stand in the heat.

They can get inside this Symphony Mobile bus stop and relax in the cool air for a while until their bus comes to the stop.

They have live music facility, cool water and some snacks.

I must say this is a great initiative taken by Symphony Pvt Ltd's CMD Mr. Achal Bakeri.

I also had a interaction with him and I was amazed by his words.

Giving some cool air to people in the scorching summer is a true contribution and a great gratuity to the society.

Not only earning name and fame but also doing some good deeds is part of any organization.

And I think Symphony Limited has done a great job by donating some cool air to people this summer.

Kudos to Mr.Achal Bakeri for caring about the society and taking up this initiative.

I had a really nice time at the mobile bus stop and I hope the number of bus double and triple by next year.

Thank you Symphony for the great experience.

Have a nice day guys!

Hey there!

Last week, I have been to Champs Fleur's Tulip Festival. This event is very special to me and I really felt to put this experience of mine in words

I have envisioned 10,000 Tulips and must say it was indeed a carnival to my eyes.
I have spotted a wide varieties of Tulips and colors. Liliac, Flamingo, Peach, taffy, Crepe, rosewood were few colors.

The Tulip Festival  
Tulip Festival has been an amazing experience for me. I watched Bollywood film's songs and wondered what tulips look like in real. Trust me, they looked awe-inspiring. Infact, they look even more beautiful than they looked in the videos.

I was able to touch the flowers in real. They were so smooth and pretty. I felt like a disney princess who lived in a fantasy world. I am pretty much impressed and I would love to thank Champs Fleur for having me over there and for giving me the opportunity to get a glimpse at the most beautiful!

Why Champs Fleur?

Apart from Tulips, Champs Fleur also have Customized rose bouquet and boxes.
They have curated beautiful boxes which has got roses and other croton flowers which will last long for  a year which I assume to be It's USP.

"All the flowers which are sold are very much organic, natural and bio degradable" says the brand.

Apparently, I felt that these curated boxes are the best options to gift some one you love and the best part is you don't have to throw them away the very next day you got them.

You preserve them for a year.

So Basically, the curated boxes have names as well,
Lumiere Jardin
Verre
Wonder tale
Vase et Fleur and so on.

Apart from the boxes, they customize accesories. As in, Key Chains, Hair Pins and so on.

How much does it cost?

The cost varies from box to box. It ranges from Rs.900 to Rs.12000.
I consider this to be a one time investment for a year.

So guys,

When ever you have some time, or when ever you want to gift something very special to your loved ones, just make a visit to Champs Fleur. 
I'm pretty sure that you will not leave the place empty handed and also, you will never leave without satisfaction.

Kudos to Champs Fleur for giving us such an opportunity to gift something which is very surreal, Customizable and also creative.
