Products in Highlight


  • Olaplex

  • Malibu C
  • Wet Brush
  • Splitender

*Olaplex Olaplex is a revolutionary hair treatment, which is globally dubbed as an insurance for hair. The bottled goodness is a complete salon system that delves deeper into the hair’s structural integrity and rebuilds broken hair bonds. That means, now there’s a healthy solution for that all that harm done by repeated heat, sunlight, hair styling, bleach and chemical treatments. I personally got this done and I have to say that my hair did feel a lot different. Its been a week since I got it done and with just one sitting my hair fall has reduced considerably and I am sure it will do wonders in another couple of sittings. Its recommended to get done a Olaplex treatment at least once a month.



*Antidot – This is revolutionary!
Antidot Pro is a revolutionary product like no other on the market! In most cases, Antidot will prevent any burning, itching, irritation or any discomfort
while your color application is processing and can even prevent these effects up to 24 hours after coloration.

*Malibu C
A Malibu treatment typically will remove excess buildup in your hair caused from hard water, chlorine from swimming and water softeners.

*Wet Brush – Wet Brush is the #1 selling professional brush in the USA.
The Wet Brush glides effortlessly through wet or dry hair for healthy detangling and eliminates all tugging, tearing, pulling or ripping. Perfect for all hair types, it will give you gorgeous, healthy, tangle-free locks in minutes.

*SplitenderYou don’t need to cut your hair short to trim off your split ends, the Splitender does the work for you!
It trims the very end of the hair strand while preserving the length of the hair. I found this simply great, because most of the times the worry that we face while getting split ends removed is reduction of hair length, but this product helps removing split ends within seconds without doing anything with the length.


A special mention about the staff of Cut & Style, they were extremely warm and hospitable. Their attention to detail and knowledge of product and services was superlative. I enjoyed my hair getting pampered by them and it was a lovely experience. I highly recommend you getting these treatments and insure your hair against the adverse affects of hair rebonding, hair colour and other chemical applications.

 

Book Review- The Coffee and The Cola

A word about the author first,Kapil Muzumdar comes from the world of advertising and branding having been in the trade for over twenty five years crafting stories for brands,celebrities and corporate icons. He loves studying human behaviour and profiling people,mostly along psychographic outlines.
Presently he works as a creative philosopher and is often invited to speak at educational institutions and corporates.
He is deeply fascinated by women and the complexity of their nature.
The Coffee and The Cola is his first book.

The author relates to two kind of women whose traits he compares to Coffee and Cola. Two very different types of women.

The story revolves around the main protagonist Rahul and his tryst with these two women with diametrically opposite traits, The Coffee and The Cola as the author sees them.

It is the journey of love which Rahul goes through first with Radha and in a small detour with Nora.
Two women of diverse personalities which leave Rahul confused with the reality check; Who should he choose between the two for a life partner. The way author has characterised his leads is commendable. You can easily relate to Rahul who faces a confusion of choosing the one over second as we lot of times see in real life as well. The women leads are both portrayed very interestingly. The book has a dose of romance with reality thrown in beautifully. Some twists and turns keep you engrossed and curious all through

Will Rahul be able to decide? Will he really get what he wants or Will he lose it all? Grab a copy now and find out for yourself. I just loved reading my personally signed copy 🙂 As the author puts it: An Ordinary Narrative Built Around an Extraordinary Premise.


Available on Amazon for Rs. 199/- for paperback.

Fine Fragrance Home Collection by Niana!

Niana launches its luxury Fine Fragrance Home Collection. The fragrances have been created in collaboration with Givaudan, the world’s leading fragrance and flavour company. In addition to soy candles and reed diffusers, this collection includes the introduction of two new products, room sprays and scented sachets adding to Niana’s present signature line.

Inspired by fine fragrances, the two new fragrances exude sophistication and sensuality. Enigma is fresh and vibrant with lime, peony and amber notes while Luminous is a soft, white musk blended with sandalwood. Peonies are one of the rarest, freshest and most radiant of flowers in the perfumery palette. Sandalwood of course needs no introduction. Its woody and milky facets make it one of the softest woods in perfumery with a lot of character and signature.

Both these fragrances appeal to both men and women. “Our work is greatly influenced by people we meet, memories and associations, travel, and of course, nature. These fragrances are engaging. They have a history, they tell a story and communicate more than just a smell…” says Leena Labroo, Founder, Niana.

Each product within this collection is distinct in itself and is designed to appeal to a personal choice. Candles for example, create a sense of warmth and bring comfort and nostalgia. They are romantic, rejuvenating and relaxing. When you enter the room, the fragrances evoke long term memories and deep associations and the sillage trails you as you leave the room.

Reed diffusers are best used in compact areas as the fragrance envelops and surrounds one’s space. Fragrances from Niana’s room sprays diffuse immediately to create the desired ambience. Moreover, they can be used on linen, on stationery, towels and just about anywhere. Similarly, the intricately hand embroidered rice sachets can be slipped into lingerie, drawers, gym bags, cars and shoes to delicately perfume your intimate belongings.

All Niana products including the new collection are handcrafted. The two wick soy candles are painstakingly poured by hand at the studio, the diffusers are blended and mixed at regular intervals and finally the sachets are also scented and filled by Niana’s trained team. All products are then finely finished, labeled and packaged with care. Black and gold, simple, stark and elegant, the range has been designed to resemble a perfume. Priced from 1100 to 3000/- the Fine Fragrance Home Collection is available online www.niana.co and in leading, select stores all over India.


Niana entered the home fragrance industry in 2011 with a range of hand poured, scented soy candles. Their fragrances are inspired by aromatic flowers, exotic spices and luscious fresh fruits. Today, they have over 35 blends and a range of collections. Their products are available on www.niana.co and through multi brand boutiques across India. With exquisite packaging and customization options, Niana’s luxuriously textured products make attractive gifts for all occasions.

Pier 38, Cyber Hub, Gurgaon- Your Gateway to Persian Food!

Craving for some Lebanese and Arabic Food, head to Pier 38 in Cyber Hub, Gurgaon and you can definitely satiate your cravings with some lip smacking food and signature cocktails.

Piers being significant because of the trade between India and other countries and Persia amongst the prime ones, Piers 38 as a name came into existence serving flavours from Persia! 

The whole ambience of the place is extremely vibrant and yet very inspired by the actual Piers at the oceans. It has a very rustic appeal and a lot of elements are like a reflection of actual things being used. For example actual Pier at the entrance, bar lights that look like ship searchlights and many other detailing in interiors gives the place a very thematic appearance.

I was recently invited for a bloggers meet and had a great fun with my foodie friends indulging in some great food, music and drinks.

To begin with, we were served the Mezze Non Veg Platter, which consisted of Chicken Cigar Rolls, Kebabs and Cutlets, along with some Pita Bread and Dips. This one surely is like a meal in itself and one must give it a try. Next was a wholesome serving of Chicken Cigar Rolls and I really liked them. They were crispy on the outside with tender and juicy chicken on the inside.

We tried some Persian Barbecue specialties like Iranian Hot N Sour Paneer Skewers and Lamb Chelo. The Lamb Chelo was delectable and being a non-vegetarian I gave Paneer Skewers a miss, though they looked quite tempting.

Next we were served Galautis and they truly were amazing. Soft, tender and mouth melting, this is one dish you should not miss. We also tried some Chicken Tikka, Chicken Tangri Kebab and Chicken Shawarma, and all of them very fabulous.

Dilli Chaat was a surprise for me and I was completely blown over by it. It was so delicious. Crisp and tasteful, this dish is highly recommended.

I was too full with all the above-mentioned dishes that I had to give main course a skip, but this too looked very tempting. There was Veg Khoresht, which is like a vegetarian stew, and Veg Moussaka, which again is a very popular classic dish.

For non-vegetarians there was Khoresht Bamia and Ghalieh Mahi, a traditional Persian Fish Curry.

There was also a wide array of signature cocktails like La Orange Cosmo, Pomegranate Basil Martini, Habibi amongst others. I personally liked La Orange Cosmo the most and Smokey Bourbon Bot was good too.

Coming to desserts, there were Nutella Cigar Rolls, Persian Baklawa and Fereni. Out of these I was really tempted to try the Nutella Cigar Rolls, for the obvious reasons, I mean who can ignore Nutella, but this is the only thing that ended up disappointing me, because the cigar rolls in themselves were a tad too salty and it seemed more like a snack than a dessert. Hence I sweetened my mouth with the traditional Baklawa that was good.

Overall I loved the place and meeting fellow foodie friends is always a bonus. So Pier 38 should definitely be on your list and you must try it out soon.
