Simple things that won’t take up too much time and if done consciously and regularly will make a difference to the way you look and feel? Here’s what our beauty expert Suparna Trikha would recommend
Most of us are now busy preparing for the festive season. There’s so much to do! Between decorating the house, buying new clothes, looking for recipes for a festive feast and organising and attending many parties – we’ve got our hands full! All this can get pretty exhausting and one has to take care of oneself, remember it isn’t just about looking good but feeling good too and that requires some effort. I have come to believe in recent years that many of us don’t even enjoy our festivals anymore because we are so tired and weary by the time we have organised everything that although we may be smiling through our pujas and parties our skin and hair looks tired and so do we from inside. So, what are some of the things that we can do to look and feel better during the festive season? Simple things that won’t take up too much time and if done consciously and regularly will make a difference to the way you look and feel? Here’s what I would recommend:

Dry-fruits are an integral part of most Indian festivals. Along with all our festivals, come a lot of dry fruits that we pack away in jars to be used later. Here’s a better way to use those almonds, and one that will not lead to weight gain! Soak at least 10 almonds and have these daily after peeling them. If you don’t have time for this then make a small packet and mix in a handful of raisins, figs, almond, walnuts and cashews and keep in your handbag at all times. Munch on when you feel the need to snack on oily savouries.
Almond milk also is excellent and can be made very easily at home in your everyday mixer. Try and have a small glass of this daily to keep your energy levels high.
