Good grooming isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about maintaining personal hygiene and presenting yourself well. College life is one such phase of life that not only involves attending classes and studying but making new friends, participating in events and creating long-lasting impressions. While your personality and confidence matter the most, good grooming plays a huge role in helping you look presentable and feel your best. The good news? You don’t need an elaborate grooming routine or expensive salon visits to maintain a neat appearance.
When you’re living in Delhi, the constant rush makes you crave quick, peaceful getaways – and that’s exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a destination that wasn’t overly commercialized, somewhere calm, scenic, and refreshing. Lansdowne turned out to be just perfect. Tucked away in the Garhwal hills of Uttarakhand, this quaint hill station is known for its old-world charm, clean surroundings, and strong presence of the Indian Army, which keeps the area beautifully maintained and disciplined.
Our stay was at Sterling Valley of Pine Lansdowne, a newly launched boutique retreat by Sterling. Marking their ninth property in Uttarakhand, this resort is nestled amidst dense pine forests near Gumkhal. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had stepped into a slower, more peaceful world.
A Heritage Stay by the River – Our Experience at The Robertson House by The Crest Collection Singapore
TravelTravel has always been about experiences for me – not just ticking places off a list, but truly soaking in the stories, culture, and moments that make a destination special. During our recent trip to Singapore, we wanted at least one stay that felt meaningful, comfortable, and memorable. That’s exactly what led us to The Robertson House by The Crest Collection.
We had seen pictures of the property online before arriving, and there was already a sense of excitement building up. The heritage inspiration, beautiful interiors, and riverside location made it stand out. But what we experienced during our stay turned out to be even more special than what we had imagined.
The mountains have a way of calling you exactly when you need them the most – and this was one of those times. The hustle bustle of everyday life needed a break and that’s when we thought of packing our bags and heading for the hills. We chose to visit Chail, the peaceful hill destination in Himachal Pradesh which had always been on our list, and this time we finally made it happen. We travelled from Delhi and chose Sterling Shivalik Chail to be our abode where we experienced not just a comfortable stay, but also heartfelt hospitality, soulful food, and unforgettable moments in nature.
After a wonderful and memorable stay at Sterling Ooty Elk Hill, our journey continued to another charming destination in the hills – Kodaikanal. This was our first visit to Kodaikanal, and the excitement was unmatched! We had heard so much about this place – the misty mountains, the calm lakes, the pine forests – and couldn’t wait to experience it all in person.
Sterling Holidays ensured we had the smoothest journey from Ooty to Kodaikanal. In a private car we moved to a scenic journey filled with winding roads, dense forests, and occasional waterfalls cascading down the hills. In around 6-7 hours, we entered Kodaikanal, the air felt fresher, the skies seemed clearer, and a cool breeze instantly rejuvenated us.
Living Like a Local in the Heart of Singapore: My Stay at Village Hotel Albert Court by Far East Hospitality
TravelMy first trip to Singapore was already special – every corner of the city felt alive with culture, colour, and charm and one of the highlights of my visit was my stay at Village Hotel Albert Court by Far East Hospitality. From the moment we entered, it felt like stepping into a charming blend of history, culture, and comfort.
A Comforting Stay in the Heart of Little India: My Experience at Hilton Garden Inn Singapore Serangoon
TravelSingapore had always been on my travel list – a city that blends culture, modernity, and vibrancy so effortlessly. On my first trip to this beautiful island nation, I wanted to experience both the comfort of a good hotel stay and the local charm of the neighbourhoods. That’s exactly what I found at Hilton Garden Inn Singapore Serangoon, located in the heart of Little India – one of the city’s most colourful and culturally rich areas.
Life came to a sudden halt last December when I lost my father. No words, no gestures can ever fill the void left by a close family member. As hard as it is, life gently nudges us forward. Somehow, we gathered the strength to keep going—carrying his memories in our hearts, every step of the way.
We wanted to take our mother on a trip—to help her rediscover joy, to breathe life back into her days, and to remind her that healing, though slow, is still possible.
While planning our getaway destination, we wanted a hospitality partner which understands our needs. Having experienced warm hospitality and comfortable stays at Sterling Holidays properties in Nainital and Mussoorie in the past, we made our reservations for 2 properties in the hills.
Sometimes all you need is a quick escape from the hustle of city life, and for us, Karma Lakelands proved to be just that— an oasis of calm, luxury, and unforgettable family moments, all wrapped in the lap of nature. We recently celebrated my brother’s birthday with a staycation at this eco-luxury resort, and what a beautiful experience it turned out to be!
I can never say no to hills!
It was Nidhi’s birthday and she expressed her desire of heading to the hills. Hence, we packed our bags, booked our ride and headed to the hills.
