Oh So Sweet
I frequently come accross brides and grooms who dread sitting on that stage only for one reason. And the reason is mithayi (sweets), that is forced down their throats by all the guests one by one. Such was on recent bride who could not believe how much mithayi was fed to her the pervious night on her mehndi and wondered if there was a way out of this for any one getting married. And the good news is, YES. There is definitely alternatives to mithayi which not only look good when displayed, but taste good too. And the best part...they are not coated with tons of sugar! so you don't have to worry about gaining extra pounds. Read on for some inspirational ideas...
M&Ms
I've covered quite a few weddings where mithayi was replace with colorfull pieces of M&Ms.

Grapes and Strawberries
These fruits not only look good displayed but are healthy in every way.

Hair Care - All natural

Hair masks are as important as face masks. We’ve damaged our tresses blow-drying, using flat irons, used harsh chemical to color the hair, and lets not forget the pollution in the air which makes our hair dull and dry. We have to replenish what has been stripped away. Below are few of the ways that can be achieved.
Oil Massaging
The best way to replenish the oils in the scalp is oil massaging. You can massage the scalp with coconut, almond or olive oil. Slightly warm the oil in microwave for a few seconds before massaging, that way the scalp will absorb it better. Remember to massage with finger tips, not nails, otherwise you will damage your scalp. You don’t have to leave the oil in your hair overnight. Cover with hot towel and leave it in for just 30-40 minutes then wash hair with shampoo and don’t forget to use a good conditioner afterwards. It is the best method to cure dandruff in your hair as well. Oiling once a week is important.
Coconut Milk
Personally I like to use coconut milk because it is easier to rinse from hair. Plus it not only nourishes the scalp but promotes hair growth as well. Just take enough coconut milk to massage the scalp. Do warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds. Leave it in for 30 minutes then wash your hair. You don’t have to use shampoo but if you want you can. You will immediately see how healthy and full of life each strand of hair looks instead of squeaky clean, lifeless, and dull. By the way, hair should never be squeaky clean, if it is then you’ve stripped away the essential oils from your scalp.
Egg
Egg gives hair shine and bounce.
For oily hair: Whisk an egg, add ½ tsp lemon juice, massage your scalp and leave it in for 30 minutes. Wash hair with shampoo and condition.
For dry hair: Whisk an egg, add olive or almond oil, massage the scalp and leave it in for 30 mins. Wash hair with shampoo and condition.
It is important that you don’t wash your hair with hot water. Otherwise, you’ll “cook” the egg and you will need additional washing.
Henna- Hair color and conditioner in one!
Henna is my favorite conditioner! There are many reason. First, it gives a beautiful color to hair without those harsh chemicals. I’ve stopped coloring my hair any other way. Secondly, it nourishes the hair naturally.
To prepare henna paste first boil some water and add a 2-3 tea bags. Remove the bags from water in 2-3 minutes. Cool the water and use it to mix henna. Add an egg to this mixture. I also like to add 1 tsp lemon. Mix everything well and apply to hair from root to t1p with gloves on otherwise it will stain your hands. Apply henna paste to clean, dried hair only. Make sure to apply a face cream so the henna doesn't leave color on your forehead and around your ears. Leave it on for 1 hour and rinse hair with water and don't shampoo. Your hair is going have a beautiful color and shine right after. I love to use henna! :)
Tea water - Beautiful natural color
Boil some water and throw in 3-4 tea bags. Remove the bags once tea is mixed in water. Give your hair a final rinse with this tea water and don't rinse with plain water afterwards. Your hair will have a beautiful rich color.
Lemon - for shine
After shampooing and conditioning, give your hair a final rinse of lemon diluted in water. Don’t rinse with plain water afterwards. It will give a natural beautiful shine to your hair.
Don’t forget that the key to achieving the best results from these tips is that you use them regularly. Doing once is not enough. Use these methods at least once a week to get beautiful healthy hair for life.
