My Glamm, N. M. Joshi road, Lower Parel, Mumbai Khushboo, my Brilliant Blogger-friend invited me for this Brunch Up with MyGlamm. It was an unique opportunity to experience MyGlamm    first hand, to know more about the celebrity style offerings and review it for my blog ' Spirit Of Mumbai '. MyGlamm is situated so near LowerParel station that all 3 taxiwalas gave me puzzled expressions. Why would anyone need a taxi for such a short distance?. Ok,fine, it's just 7 minutes walking distance that too right on N. M. Joshi road. You can't miss it even if you try to.    MyGlamm  has its own  artist incubator  where they train their artists before adding them to the MyGlamm team. You can also opt to get your service done at their Incubator in Lower Parel instead of your home if you like. MyGlamm   offers bespoke beauty services at your doorstep, pamper yourself with on-demand hair, beauty and grooming services by expert artists fro...

"Oops, I have forgotten the keys , we have to return Home and collect it" - Sandhya, my cousin-friend declared with alarming hurry. We were already late due to the office-rush hour and to top that lateness, we had to return home. Our mobiles were constantly buzzing with friends, threatening to call 100 , 101 , 102 ,... if we didn't reach the venue within a second. As if we possessed couple of time-machines. Now that's typical of school-friends. They take you for granted. They think of you as Omnipotent and Useless in the same instance.  We pacified them with the coolest promise of Magnum Chocolate Infinity Ice-candies, if they didn't kill us on arrival. They bargained for 2 candies each, we cursed Foreign Direct Investment in retail but our taste-buds were already in raptures.  At last, we reached the venue for the get-#together / reunion of school-friends, exactly an hour after the scheduled time. We were fashionably late but still received the warmes...

           My first memory of cosmetics is of the Johnson baby-powder. My mother re-bathed me with that powder after the daily bath of water. I must have crinkled my nose all those times. Still, I like Johnson baby powder's unique clinicy-soapy fragrance as it is associated with my darling niece and nephew's childhood memories.             Primary-school days were filled with the ever familiar Pond's Dream-flower talc. I loved it's sweet rosy aroma, especially when used by my mother and aunt. But I felt suffocated with the powder on my face, as it left me sweaty and uncomfortable within a few minutes of going out in sun.            This is the history of my relationship with cosmetics. I loved the smell/ essence/ fragrance/ aroma of quality-cosmetics when used by my near and dear ones but hated to use them myself.            Last month I compli...
