My Travelogue with Ford Aspire

Lifestyle April 9, 2016

One of the most important companion for a trip is the vehicle we drive in…and one which gives great look and great mileage is what I would call an ideal car! Being passionate about 4 wheelers and driven a variety of them already…from luxury to the basic ones….some self-owned, some borrowed from family and friends…This time I had to drive down to Punjab to visit a relative and I picked up Ford Aspire for the trip! The Ford Aspire has a very satisfying design when compared to its closest rivals and the vehicle has been on my hitlist for a while.

Cleartrip: The Genie in the laptop

Travel April 4, 2016

For us travel enthusiasts, it is easy to book flights but where we get stuck is the accommodation that we are choosing. This is what I personally got stuck with while I was planning my trip to Goa and what played genie in the process was Cleartrip. A click on Hotels in Goa is all I had to do and it was not just the hotel names that popped out, it was along with prices, stars, hotel area and rating…isn’t that wonderful? The infinite variety of accommodation from Guest Houses to luxurious hotels was what I wanted. With a brief description and filters, it did make my search easy and hassle free. Gone are the days when we used to call up our friendly travel agents for booking our flights and accommodation for a vacation or work trip…Now everything is a click away.

A pampering session at Kairali Spa

Beauty March 31, 2016

A Thursday evening instead of heading back home, I thought of pampering myself! And what better way to pamper myself than nature’s therapy at Kairali Spa. So I took the road to Mehrauli.

As I entered, I felt captivated by the red and white brick wall colour theme designed by a designer from Kerala. I was suggested a full body massage named Abhyangam Therapy. This is a distinct relaxing and detoxifying therapy where herbal oil is massaged all over the body using a special technique applied. The person undergoing the massage is made to lie down and the massage is continued in a synchronized manner from head to toe. These massage technique helps to sooth the muscles, increase the vigor, open up the tissue networks and rejuvenate all the senses. Abhyangam has been found very effective for improving eyesight, longevity, circulation and mental alertness this also helps to induce peaceful sleep. It is the best massage to delay ageing and is a preventive massage for good health.

Platinoir by Mehak & Ashish SS’16 collection

Fashion March 29, 2016

Team ChicLifeByte was recently invited to Delhi Club House for the launch of Platinoir by Mehak & Ashish, being new in the industry, we were honestly not expecting something great…but when we saw the collection we were in for a surprise. The place was buzzing with mannequins wearing sequins on pastels which made for the perfect Spring Summer outfits. It wasn’t just the outfits, it was the whole look- even shoes to go with the outfits!!

The brand was actually launched three months back through a soft launch for family and friends. Platinoir is designed for the coolest girl in the room who can pull off a chic yet glamorous outfit, it’s for someone who is fashion-forward and has no inhibitions. The designs are a combination of individuality, classy and urban essence with comfort and versatility. The SS’16 collection could easily be confused for couture, for the drapery and intricate embellishments and appliqués are just short of a dream – design and craftsmanship both inextricably intertwined.

Sushi Junction- Authentic Premium Sushi at your doorstep

Food March 28, 2016

You know ChicLifeByte’s love for Japanese food by the review at En. When we got to know about Sushi Junction we were quite excited. Who doesn’t love Authentic Premium Sushi delivered at their Door Step, but we were disappointed to know they cater only to Gurgaon…For us South Delhiites, going to Gurgaon is always a dreadful ride but we were really happy to know that Sushi Junction can make special arrangements for delivery to South Delhi.

Ridhi Bahl: An astrologer and vastu consultant

Lifestyle March 27, 2016

We all want to know what future holds for us! Yes, that’s one reason we met Astrologer Ridhi Bahl. Dressed in a yellow and beige suit she was all set to tell us about about our future, seeing our kundali on her laptop. Though I honestly don’t believe in these things but at times these things do come out true! I personally believe ‘precaution is better than cure!’. While she was checking out our kundali, we looked around the room of her house at South Extension 1 and saw interesting reads neatly piled in a cupboard of the clutter free room.
