Queen For A Day

Hey Everyone!!!

I know I have been MIA for quite a long time now. First my camera stopped working and I had to wait till the new one arrived ( Got a new camera already!!! More on that later ;) ). Also with exam coming up, I hardly get time for anything else. But I promise I'll be back to blogging regularly soon. And course I will find some time every now and then to say hello to you guys. 

Recently I was invited to attend an event - "Queen For A Day" at Taj Salon, Taj Lands End, Bandra. I was not sure if I ll be able to attend the event but then one look at the invite and I knew I would surely go. Tell me who could have said no after looking at this invite???

Invite

 I reached the venue a bit late. After the introductions and welcome drink, they asked me what I would like to get started with. They had various things lined up including, shoulder massage, manicure and pedicure, makeup, vintage hairstyles, etc. for the day. As the manicure and pedicure stations were already occupied, I chose to start with hairstyle.

Taj Salon

After a few suggestions by Jyotsana (hairstylist), I chose to go for a messy side bun. The staff at Taj is very knowledgeable and they keep giving you little tips and tricks. It took around 20 - 25 minutes and I loved the end result. 

Vintage Hairstyle

I got my mani and pedi done after the hairstyle. They have a sea facing pedicure station. Now how can one not feel like a queen when you see sun setting into the ocean while getting your nails done!!!!

It was difficult to choose a color from so many colors. I finally chose Big Red Apple by O.P.I 

Also got a chance to meet fellow bloggers and chatted with them over cupcakes and macrons. 

Finally I got my makeup done. Dramatic winged eyes, n*de lips with some coral blush. And Tadaaa I was ready. No wait...How can a queen be ready without her tiara??? Yes they had tiaras and other fun props for us to pose with at the royal photo booth.

After all the fun it was time to go home. They had this beautiful goodie bag ( basket) for us. Isn't is pretty??? And yes they had arranged a car to drop me home. How thoughtful of them :D. Who leaves a queen out in Mumbai traffic :P 

  

It was a wonderful experience and yes they did make me feel like a Queen For A Day.

• The Taj salon 1st opened its doors in 1940 as one of the only 2 salons in the country

• The salon was run by Madame Jacques (a French national who ) for 42 years and pioneered the shape of the salon industry as it is known today styling the who’s who of the world including former Ms.World, Madame Pompodour in those times. She had created a differentiation by importing colours/products from Singapore etc in a time when only locally made products were available.

• Madame Jacques retired in 1981 (I have heard that her advancing age and her losing her eyesight led to her retirement) and the salon was taken over by Taj Group, renovated and re-launched under the brand ‘Taj Salon’.
  
  
  
  

I was invited to try out these services but this has not affected my opinion

Go Back in Time and Thank Some One

Hello Everyone!!!

If you could go back in time and thank some one, who would that be? L'Oreal Paris asked this question to people from different walks of life and here's what they had to say. Checkout the video.

Here is what L'Oreal Paris has to say :

Every shampoo today speaks about strong hair, but what really matters is the roots that make the hair strong. Only strong roots can give you strong and healthy hair. L’Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X is one such shampoo that takes care of your roots. 

Fall Repair 3X is an Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo that delivers a triple anti-hair fall action. It nourishes the hair root, restructures hair fibre and helps the hair grow stronger from root to tip. Only Fall Repair 3X is enriched with Arginine Essence. Arginine is an essential amino acid that is vital for hair’s constitution. It is known for nourishing the scalp to improve micro-circulation.

Stronger the roots, lesser the hair fall.

'Stay Rooted' is all about remembering your roots and knowing that whatever you are today is because of your roots. It's about taking time out to thank and appreciate people, things, places etc from your past that have made you "You".

There are so many people who have been by my side always - Family, friend, teachers to name a few. I want thank them all for being there for me always. Especially my MOTHER. She has been my support system, guide, friend and everything I wanted. Whatever I am today is mainly because of her.

If you are reading this do tell me in the comments below about that special person you would like to thank if you had a chance to go back in time. I would love to read it.
