V-Day Final Look Book

I know a lot of you are already busy with your plans for tomorrow! And I have been busy winning some twitter contests! Not to brag, but I’ve won a few... ;-) (Junkie Alert!) That reminds me; do follow me on twitter too! There’s a link to the right side of the page! And there are other social networking sites I’ve added too just incase! J I’m guessing all are stressed, depressed but yet, well dressed for tomorrow! But girls, lets accept the fact that however ‘ready’ we assure people that we are, there’s always something wrong with our outfit at the eleventh hour! I totally understand that, been there done that too! So without wasting any more time, here are some looks I have created for you, just in case you want to toss or keep something! Each girl has very unique and different fashion sense. So, I’ve juggled up my creative routine and come up with this. There’s something for all! Who says you can’t twirl it up a lil on V-day, choose from different outfits and accessories. From watches to perfumes to shoes, nail art, I’ve tried to mix and match it all.

Here’s a look for your lunch date. Like I said before, red doesn’t necessarily have to dominate during the day! Let’s keep that sultry color to bring out its essence at night ;-)

I’ll leave you with that note! Hahah JK, Enjoy guys! Keep lovin and keep cuddlin’ J Woow woot

V-DAY THE SINGLETON BRIGADE

www.treesugar.com

OH NO! The time is arriving when all the single souls in the planet are terribly traumatized, in the lowest of self esteem or go into deep life and self contemplation. The three most common things happening former V-Day are, singles on house arrest, couples waiting in desperation for the day and a third category of ‘I-Don’t-Care’ group. Well, as cool as the third batch sounds, I know it for a fact that they are the saddest of the lot who want to be on a house arrest with the partner they are waiting in desperation for on V-day! I know many people who go all anti over the opposite sex saying WHO NEEDS EM? Answer: YOU NEEDS EM! Guys, Love is inevitable. IT IS BOUND TO HAPPEN SOME DAY. It would be best if you just stop fighting it and accept it. A famous person once said, “Love is all we need” No matter how baked he must have been, it still stands true. But does that mean being single sucks? Gosh No! How else is ‘THE ONE’ gonna sweep you off your feet? (If that was way too cheesy I totally understand. I felt that too.) Anyway, bottom line is, don’t fight the day, just play it right!  Keep an optimistic and a healthy attitude! I, for one know that being single may sometimes suck and sometimes it may just be a boon.  I’m bankrupt right now, so that totally helps when I don’t have to buy gifts!

So to the entire singleton brigade out there, don’t fret, here are some awesome sauce ideas to keep you going so V-day can pass off as any other day ;-)

© Celebrate it with your close buddies, single or otherwise! It will be a hell lot of fun to tease the couples and what’s best to create good memories with your pals.

© Organize a pyjama party with the gals. Organize cool games, hot chocolate, yummylicious food and sooper-cool movies.

© Try out the one-day spa package. Spend the entire day pampering your body and by the time that    ends, V-Day is over too... Hehe

© Want to feel better? Shop all day long! (I am saving up for thisJ) Go and buy that expensive pair of shoes that you couldn’t afford. Or just buy any generalised item! P.S DO NOT go window shopping! You’ll end up getting frustrated. You want something, you go buy it!

© Don’t feel like venturing out? Shop online instead. There are a lot of deals for V-day going on anyway. Make your E-wallet a bit lighter and trust me it will take longer than you think! Sometimes, almost an entire day!

© Start a new hobby! What’s better than the first day of you hobby! You are excited and can absorb the maximum! Sign up for a cookery, baking, instrument, sketching class etc. Channel all your energy into doing something constructive! All of these will help you later on.. If you know what I mean ;)

© Blame this day and try to bring out the adventurous spirit in you, go camping with the single buds, river rafting, trekking or something you wouldn’t even imagine! You have nothing to lose except for some cool stories to share later on in your lives!

© If you have just been through a bad phase, just stay home and relax. Pile on some DVD’s and watch sappy romantic movies. It’s okay to let out your emotions for a day! Whine for some time and then towards the end of the day, just switch on to watching some really cool action movie or flicks (preferably Will Smith’s) that inspire you. And make you go – “Woaah” This will help you to keep positive.

© Last but not the least, if you are one of the lazytards, Sleep through the day! Or stuff yourself with yummy gourmet items, baked cookies, chocolate bars, ice-cream, pizzas, basically, delicious junk food and lots and lots of it. Nothing beats this natural stress buster. Your motto of the day should be Eat-Sleep and Repeat!

Wow, the last sounds soo tempting that I may just skip shopping! Hehe. That’s all today. Keep snackin’ and keep crackin’ J Woot woot

Shopping for your man

Heyloo it’s time for us gals to sweat it out. And I mean literally! Coz it’s time for us to “SHOP FOR THE MAN.” It’s always a cakewalk shopping for ourselves or even close to our gender. But man, is it tough to shop for the alpha male. I personally get confused as in what would you even get them to make them happy? The choices are so limited too. It circumnavigates from sports shoes/ accessories, gaming consoles, jersey’s, watches, back to more sports stuff! But, it’s valentines and if you gotta receive you gotta give too ;-) Hehe. Speaking of which, here’s a cool Valentine’s Day fun fact for you,

V-Day Fun-Fact

“In Japan, Valentine’s Day is celebrated a tad bit different. On V-Day, women shower the men with chocolates, preferably home-made and other gifts.  However, here’s the catch! The situation gets completely reversed on ‘White Day’ (14^th March) a tradition initiated by the National Confectionery Industry Association. As an ‘answer day’ to the women, men have to reimburse them twice or sometimes thrice the amount of gifts they received! Touché! Sounds absolutely LEGIT and must be incorporated worldwide too! Haha”

Coming back to shopping for dudes, here are some shopping gifting ideas you can grab on for men. 

POST 2 FOR GALS

soha.vn

Trust me when I say that men love gifts as much as women do! That’s a fact. As much as they deny, it’s actually really amusing to see their child-like portrayal on receiving a gift! I had recently checked out the new Hamley’s store near my area and guess what? There were tonnes of premium range toy cars and the top droolers were men! They were literally crushing on them! So standing on those lines,

Here are cool stuffs you can get you guy on V-Day:

   ©    If you have saved up enough, get their favourite gadget like iPod or iTouch or those uber cool headsets.

   ©    If you haven’t saved up enough owing to your own previous shopping guilty pleasures, you could gift him the latest game CD’s that he has been craving for since its release.

   ©    You could also gift him a personalized shirt from his fav band, team etc.. There are a lot of stores who can actually get them done at quite cheap rates.

   ©    If your guy is a food junkie, learn some good recipes online and prepare an awesome sauce three-course meal right from appetisers to the desserts! Yummy!!

   ©    Also, if your guy is an adventure type, pre-plan a trip for just the two for some adventure sports like short hikes, para-gliding, scuba diving, sky-diving etc.. you would be surprised to know that there are a lot of adventure sports happening around you. Even in Maharashtra itself! Here’s a site listing of scuba diving I just happened to cross paths with :

Adventure Sports- Maharashtra Tourism

   ©    If your guy loves all things classic, gift him a lovely suit with a tie and cufflink set or his favourite perfume!

   ©    The dude’s a complete book worm? gift him a collector’s book edition of the book he’s been eyeing on!

   ©    If he is a movie buff, get him super cool DVD’s of his favourite action movies.

Attention Attention! awesome idea blurt: If your guy is a serious Indiana Jones fan, gift him a fedora and a green satchel and be prepared to see the look in his eyes!

You can also do the same with any of his favourite movie! Woot Woot J

©    Also, make sure everything you do above is separated from another list of shopping you have done for him! Oh yes absolutely, whoever said, “love don’t cost a thing sugardoll” definitely hasn’t been in a relationship! So in addition to any of the gift you chose above, shop for some clothes; add some casual t-shirts, jeans, sunglasses etc..

If you are still admissibly confused, checkout these online sites that have a lot of great gifting ideas that may help you!

Valentine's day Prologue

Well, yes, It’s February already. Valentine’s Day is around the corner and your news feed/reading lists may have been spammed with date ideas, celebration, spa sessions and what not! I think another post WILL NOT KILL YOU!! J I am a big sucker for romanticism. ! I have and will always say that “Love motivates me in everything I do.”   I’m all in for going on lovely dates, getting pampered and being spoilt silly! But I think I’d rather prefer it to be on a day-to-day basis! I actually have NEVER celebrated this day! In a relationship or stag! Having said that, I won’t puke all over the concept just coz I’m not privileged enough *Sob Sob* But I know I will be very soon ;) So all you lovely coupllles (All the mallus will get this one!)  out there, while you are fortunate enough to do so, engage in all the lovey-dovey things that will make you all mushy inside: go on dates, if you are scared to venture outside because of extreme moral policing that day just prepare a romantic lunch/ dinner at home or go on holiday getaways, pamper yourselves, serenade each other with roses, cards, letter or just a cute verbal expression of your emotion to that special one, while singles like me dangle on a thin rope of patience and hope! Hehe

So this was kind of a prologue for the week. The agenda is set, it’s going to be Valentine’s Day specials and some things random... J From last minute gifts to look testings, I plan to strangle you with all the Love and I bet you’ll be lovin’ it too! Woot Woot
