Shubh Navratri to all you lovelies..
Its again that time of the year which is highly awaited..the time that brings out all our rich tastes regarding clothes,jewelry,accessories and off course makeup. The weather as it is seems to be changing,the mornings and nights are pleasant now. I personally see Navratri/Durga Puja is the harbinger of festivities..one following another,one after the other. 
I didn't want to miss this occasion to doll up and look a little bong (yes..I love taant sarees,kohl-rimmed eyes and that red pout so much)
So here's what I attempted for this durga puja :

Leaving you with the pictures,hope you all like them:



The products used to achieve the look are in the pic below:
I had great fun doing the look and I guess this is the only occasion where I can gather the courage to pair heavily done up eyes with bright red lips (I generally prefer going softer on atleast one asset).
Anyways,enjoy the festival..deck up..doll up and make the most of it!

Hi Lovelies..
It seems like yesterday when I announced about my Pregnancy and now you all must be knowing I had a baby girl on 10th of June,time I tell you has been flying with XXLwings ever since...
Remember this :)
Though I wasn't blogging this while,I was going through all your posts,I commented on some and couldn't on others.Facebook ,Instagram and Watsapp kept me pretty close to you. I received so many mails...tried replying to most of your queries and those left will be taken up now.
I was scared to death by relatives,aunties,neighbors,maids, relatives of maids...passer bys....e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e about how DIFFICULT it is to manage the second baby. Its not like your previous experience when you didn't have much to take care except your brand new bundle of joy. This time it is an added responsibility with the existing ones intact. IT DEFINITELY IS...but more than that its NOT as horrifying as I was told..
Slowly things are falling in their place,the schedules are set just like before...everything is kinda smooth-sailing now. I know once she starts crawling..phewwwww...alright!!
The joy has definitely been doubled. This is what our mornings are like now:

Yes she wakes up with a BIG smile every morning :)

We've given her a love name Maahi,the formal one is still in the pipeline.
Another thought in my mind is that the posts on Budget Belleza would be a bit few and far for some time,since both the babies need my time (the older one even more when he has to be emotionally secure...yes you have to face this too :)
Plus,my reviews won't be as elaborative as they were before..I would basically be stressing more on my findings of the product rather than the nitty-gritty. Blogging is my passion and my favourite activity and more than that it has win me people like YOU...So whatever goes on it keeps coming back......

Much Love
XOXO
Aditi..

In my last post of Birthday Haul, I ended up with some guess work for y'all and to my surprise....most of you came up with the most obvious yet correct guess :)
Now coming to the BIG GOOD News....




 
Yup I'm pregnant..for the second time for records ;)
Its the 27th week running and the baby would be due in June. All of us are over whelmed but the one who is most excited is my big boy..
Fingers crossed for a girl this time :D

Hola Bellezas...
This is for all you beauties who wanted to know through Facebook and emails,how I did a custom-made lip pot out of leftover lippies..
Lets begin with the outcome first :

Here's how to make a Monday as good as a Friday :)
1. Have A Rocking Weekend:
Now "rocking" is different to different people. Some might like to spend their weekend going out,watching a movie or shopping..while other just want to cuddle up with a book. The idea is to spend the weekend doing what you love. Try to unplug yourself from work/emails/calls,have a techno-free weekend. The more saturated you are,the lesser monday blues.

2. Get Organized:
Prepare for Monday on Friday itself. The clothes you'll wear,the things that need to be done(in their priority order)...chalk out the monday plans in advance. An organized monday morning is less likely to be hated!

3. Sleep Early:
Try to avoid alcohol on a Sunday night..c'mon you don't want to start your week with a hangover! Have an early dinner and switch off the lights a little before than usual. You'll be surprised to see what effect a good night's sleep has on your mornings.

4. Wake up a little Early:
Wake up 10 minutes earlier on a Monday morning and you will be surprised to see how the otherwise rushy mornings have become such calm and relaxed ones. But for this you need to first follow Step 3!

5. Dress up Monday:

This is what I came across while preparing the post,Dress up Mondays is a new trend spreading in American companies where casual attire is the company dress code. Employees are encouraged to dress fancy or dress formally. Now you can definitely not change the company policy regarding the dress codes but what you can do is perk up whatever you are wearing. If you have new clothes,wear them on Mondays. Bring out your favourite handbag or shoe..We know how therapeutic it is...don't we?

6. A Positive Monday:
Its the first day of the week,start it with an attitude of gratitude. Mondays aren't all that bad and neither your job. Recognize and appreciate things that you like about your work!

7. Keep Monday's Light:
Yes its a Monday and you have tons of pointers in your to-do-list but don't make the mistake of piling up things for just this day. Distribute the work load throughout the week paying special attention on keeping the Monday schedule light.

8. Spread Happiness:
I may sound preachy but no..its not an Art of Living class.. We often underestimate how making someone else happy lifts our spirits. People around us most of the time exude happiness and positivity in reciprocation to our behavior. But before implementing this make sure you have pulled up your socks on Step 6.

9. Post-work Plans:
Mondays can be Fridays..
Hard to believe but true..Keeping in mind you keep your Mondays light (Step 7),you can always plan something with your colleagues or friends after your work hours. Go out for shopping,visit a nearby  mall for fun or just hit your close-by coffee shop. Imply this and see..you'll wait for Mondays :)

10. Don't Live For The Weekend:
Life and fun is beyond weekends. Settings all fun things aside for weekends and all serious stuff for week days gives birth to twin babies..Monday Blues and Monotony!
Keeping the TGIF factor aside,spread your enjoyment throughout the week so that you don't sit doe-eyed waiting for a Saturday!

That's pretty much all I can think about at the moment!
Happy Monday :)

I'm so eager to know your views :)

Hey Beautiessss..
Long time haan!!!
Hope August treated you well. Now, I've been planning and drafting posts time and again but something or the other happened and I was chock-a-block amidst things. From weekend vacations to visiting hometown,from clicking to posing and from Independence day to Janamashthmi...August kept us quite amused :)
Here's a sneak peak for y'all to what all we did while being MIA
Yaa..the boy with spects is mine..the Yo-Yo Krishna :D and the photographer is hubby dear..
I'm bubbling with new posts and ideas..many more reviews on their way..
Stay tuned and have fun :)

Hey Guys..
How are u all doin'?
After the soothing monsoon showers we are back to rising temperatures and even more rapidly rising humidity..so much so that I begin to believe they were not monsoon but pre-monsoon showers only :(
Anyways..for the past few days I've been thinking of changing the look of my blog,not that I did not like the earlier look..I just found the background too intimidating for me to concentrate on what's written above it...hehehehe..might sound wierd!
So,this is what I created today!
Hope you guys will like it..All Yays and Nays are welcome in the comment box below :)

As of now..I'm wanting these two things desperately!
And did I tell you I'm expecting guests from inlaws' side ???
No I didn't..Yup that's true and its after quite a long time that we will have another family with us
and I'm like Atithi Kab Aaoge these days..Obviously guests would mean alot of things..better seen than written :)
Yup..you got it write! It means I'll cook more,shop more..more sight seeing and eating out and guess what the kids are actually impatient to travel in our super speedy Metro! :)

P.S. Do tell me whether you like this look of my blog or the previous one..I find this one more subtle and content oriented somehow!

Hey All..How is the summer heat treating you? Well the MET department says Monsoons aren't that far..so holding on to that note and keeping my fingers crossed,lemme show u my son's sketch that I did a while ago:



That's my son when he was 5months old..and lemme admit it did not come out exactly the way he looks ;)
This was my second sketch..when I had no clue that there is a thing called carbon pencil on this planet!
I am planning to start sketching (I've taken a long break from it:( but i'll get back to it now) And all this posting my sketches is my way of self-motivation :)

P.S. He has a much broader nose than this ;P
