I was making my bed when I spotted this kite ( the Black Kite) preening his feathers in the building across my balcony.
I couldn’t help but take a few pictures.
I then decided to download a new photo app and have some fun with it.
This is what I learnt today.
I think for the next few days, I will concentrate on this app and its applications and post accordingly.
Hope you have as great a Sunday as I am having so far!
But chances are that you aren’t either of the two . You are just another mummy who has too many things to do and too little time to do them. You probably barely get time to brush your teeth and run a comb through your hair .
Here are 5 simple tips that you can adopt as the 2017 Beauty Guide for Mother’s Day to becomethe perfectly yummy mummy on the go.
Your hair that is here today and will be gone tomorrow if you don’t care for it.
Regularly wash your hair with an appropriate shampoo as clean hair prevents hair fall.
Keep a simple hair style that doesn’t require blow drying, setting or anything more complicated than running your fingers through it. A pony tail is ideal if you like your hair long .
And if you keep your hair short, remember to get it regularly trimmed.
Your hands are busy all the time doing work or washing up. Take care of them.
Moisturise your hands with a good hand cream after your bath. This will keep them soft.
Remember to keep your nails short and filed if your children are small as long nails are not only impractical but also difficult to maintain if you are a hands on mom
Make sure your nail polish isn’t chipped. In fact it’s better to apply plain nail varnish just to give your nails a healthy sheen
At the end of the day, I at least feel like taking off my legs and hanging them on a peg . Instead, I always give myself a foot massage with a regular body cream. Nothing fancy. But honestly, this prevents my feet from developing unsightly cracks and keeps them soft and supple all year long. Besides, I save myself the hassle of going to the beauty parlour.
After a long time, I was excited by the Friday prompt. It brought back memories of my school days when we only wrote by hand . And we only wrote by pen.
We actually filled book after book of Marion Richardson’s writing patterns so that we got the perfect letters while writing Cursive.
Believe it or not, my handwriting used to look like this
Today, I’ve actually written after a long, long time and this is how my handwriting looks now :
Well, I can see my old teachers cringe at this shabby piece of handwriting.
I definitely won’t win the Handwriting Prize for this one, will I? What did you think of this example of my handwriting?
Have you also stopped writing by hand? Do you use an ink pen with a nib? I’d love to hear from you in the comments.
