Celebrate festivities with the Pastels & Pop Winter/Festive ’19 Collection

                     
With the festive season around the corner, wouldn't you want to add a dash of Indian ethnicity to your look? Presenting Pastels & Pop’s Winter/Festive’19 collection! Inspired by Indian culture, this collection is all about celebration of life and light, and blissful sacred unions. Handcut gota, sequins, pearls, beads, zardosi and zari are all a part of the heady potpourri of embellishments adorning the Pastels & Pop juttis this season.

This collection highlights the multitude of festivities and special occasions that are marked on our calendars in the upcoming days. The thought behind this collection goes way beyond just creating juttis, which complement a traditional outfit. One can spot incredible craftsmanship and intricate, detailed hand work in the embroidery, which is the signature style of Pastels and Pop. The fabrics are headlined by fine, rich silks in gorgeous shades of red, lavender and neutral hues.

  

Rest assured, you need not look any further to stock up a variety of juttis for the imminent carnival of festivities, Diwali parties, weddings and more. We have a lineup of juttis that will match every mood and occasion – a perfect addition to your outfit and to your Instagram story!

The three co-founders, Neha, Akanksha, and Aarti, believe that the collection is their most ambitious collection yet and is a tribute to all things colorful! It is a known fact that the majority of us associate things with color and are subconsciously driven towards or away from it based on colors.  This new range is a melting pot inclusive of individual tastes, styles, and palette. And truly these beautiful juttis can be a perfect accompaniment to just about any outfit!

Seal the hair damage, with India’s first data-driven customized hair care, Vedix


In today’s time, when the google searches are filled with natural remedies for hair fall, it tells us that ayurvedic product is the need of the hour. This evidently portrays that women experiencing hair fall are in the search of effective solutions. Second, the vast selection of available Ayurvedic hair fall products simply fails to deliver results. To battle these issues, we have made India’s first customized hair care regime by Vedix.

We made several attempts to curate and present product recommendations to our readers; scoured the market to find Ayurvedic hair fall solutions that were proven effective. But all we got were dead ends. The truth is this, on the one hand, Ayurveda ended up being confused with haphazard kitchen remedies and on the other, it was reduced to a one-dimensional ‘luxury’ indulgence, finished off with frivolous gold packaging and steep prices.

The market’s current offerings in Ayurveda were far from authentic and not efficacious in the least bit. Even the most popular “Ayurvedic” hair oils used generic hair oil formulations that were watered down to cater to the mass market.

We have an inhouse laboratory with Ayurvedic doctors and formulators to find the real reason why the generic Ayurvedic products weren’t working like they were meant to. After all, they do contain potent Ayurvedic ingredients even if they were weak imitations of truly efficacious formulations. And what we found next was the final piece in the puzzle - The Tridoshas.

According to Ayurveda, the three doshas or the elemental characteristics of the body - Vata, Pitta and Kapha must be in balance. Here, balance means that the proportions of each of the components in the body must always remain constant. However, stress, diet, and lifestyle disturb these proportions and force them into an imbalance. Diseases and conditions like hair fall are merely a ‘symptom’ of the imbalance. Not an independent issue in itself. More often than not hair fall is mistaken for the real issue. But in truth, it only represents the internal imbalance of doshas in the body and so, the Ayurvedic remedy must be formulated accordingly.
 
Collaborating with some of the best Ayurvedic doctors and experts in the country, we found that Ayurveda, by its nature, prescribes customized solutions for each individual. While hair problems seem to be similar for all, only a solution customized to the internal dosha imbalance works for an individual.

The inception of customized Ayurvedic hair care brand – Vedix.
At Vedix, hair care starts with the customer, just like it does at an Ayurvedic doctor’s clinic. Through a holistic assessment of the customer’s bodily characteristics, lifestyle, and habits similar to an Ayurvedic practitioners assessment, the customer’s Ayurvedic profile is created.

How does it work?
An Ayurvedic a profile is a dosha specific picture that analyses the customer’s current requirements to fix the imbalance in their Ayurvedic profile. With this information, the customer is classified into one of 6 broad profiles each of which breaks down into thousands of combinations.

Based on this, a detailed analysis is given to the customer in which their dosha imbalance is explained along with the ingredients required to manage their hair issue. Then, a customized hair care regimen is recommended to the customer which includes ingredients corresponding to the specific requirements as outlined in the customer’s Ayurvedic dosha profile. Created with the aim to chart a customized hair care regime for every woman, Vedix has already assisted over 2 lakh women with their hair concerns within a short span of 3 months.

What’s In A Vedix Box?
Each Vedix box contains an anti-hair fall oil, an anti-hair fall shampoo, and a regrowth serum. All these products contain the exact ingredients the customer needs to pacify their dosha imbalance. With a combined Ayurvedic expertise of 20 years, Vedix’s team of Ayurvedic doctors have spent over 2 years in R&D for Vedix. All our products are designed to be gentle on the hair and scalp and are free of harmful chemical compounds and irritants such as parabens, phthalates, SLS and formaldehyde. The products are also cruelty-free and are ethically manufactured.

Urvashi Pays Tribute To The Acting Goddess Sridevi


Remember the iconic song "Tera bimaar mera" dil from the 1989 film Chalbaz?

Urvashi Rautela will be seen shaking her leg along with John Abraham in his upcoming movie "Pagalpanti."

According to Urvashi, she looks at the song as a tribute from her end to the one of Hindi Cinema's vibrant actress, Sridevi.

Reports suggest that for almost a month Urvashi used to train for 3 hours everyday as she wanted to give her 200%.

During the shooting of the song, it is said that Urvashi was running a 102 degree fever yet she didn't stop the shoot. What makes this song even more special is the fact that she has tried to introduce her own touch to this super hit song. She will be seen nailing an extremely difficult ballet act; 180 degree splits.

Her efforts and dedication to the song is a testimony of her love and respect for the acting goddess - Sridevi.
Talking about Urvashi’s dedication, Shabina Khan who has choreographed the song said ‘ Urvashi is an extremely good dancer already but I am amazed by the kind of hard work and dedication she has put in. She has nailed some extremely difficult steps in the song. I am very happy to get the opportunity to work with her’.
Urvashi also shared her excitement, ‘ This is a huge opportunity that Anees Bazmi Sir has given me, I am a huge fan of Sridevi Ma’am and to be a able to recreate one of her iconic songs was a lot of responsibility. I have given my everything into this song, and I am very hopeful that the audience will show me a lot love for this one’.
