  • The Spa At The Urban Wellness Centre: Four Seasons Bangkok’s Sanctuary Where The Body Forgets The Noise

    The Spa At The Urban Wellness Centre: Four Seasons Bangkok’s Sanctuary Where The Body Forgets The Noise By Shriniwas Kodape The Spa At The Urban Wellness Centre: Four Seasons Bangkok’s Sanctuary Where The Body Forgets The Noise 4 September 2025 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Bangkok can chew you up. It’s a magnificent kind of chaos, sacred, sweaty, addictive, but it gets under your skin. The tuk-tuks buzz like caffeine shots, street vendors yell in every direction, and even the sunsets feel like they’re trying to sell you something. By day three, I was running on fumes, smelling faintly of lemongrass and regret. That’s when I walked into The Spa at the Urban Wellness Centre at the Four Seasons. No fluorescent lighting. No fake fountains. Just stillness. Cool marble floors, warm smiles, and a cup of something herbal I didn’t bother identifying. It tasted like surrender. I wasn’t looking for a spa day. I wanted to be put back together. The Spa isn’t a wellness center trying to be cool. It doesn’t hand you a clipboard and ask how “stressed” you are on a scale of 1 to 10. It watches. It listens. And then, it quietly goes to work. They call it the Urban Wellness Centre , but that doesn’t quite cover it. It’s a sanctuary carved out of one of the loudest cities in the world. A massive space of calm with soaring ceilings, indoor gardens, and a vitality zone that includes hot and cold plunge pools, herbal steam rooms, and a rain shower that falls like forgiveness. I stripped out of the city and into a cotton robe that fit better than half my wardrobe. My therapist, a woman with eyes like she’s seen 1,000 broken backs and fixed 999 of them, greeted me with a soft bow. She asked me one question: “What are you holding on to?” I didn’t know. But I was about to find out. The 90-minute Four Seasons Signature Massage wasn’t a massage. It was a conversation between muscle and memory. She used elbows, bamboo sticks, warm herbal compresses, and at one point, something I can only describe as ancient wizardry. My spine clicked into place. My breath slowed. The city melted off me like old wax. There were moments I drifted. Not into sleep, but somewhere beyond it. A place without notifications. A place without needing to be anywhere else. And it didn’t stop there. I wandered into a sound therapy room afterward. Bamboo walls, soft mats, and a bowl that sang when stroked. The sound wrapped around me, low and slow, until I couldn’t tell where it ended and I began. I floated out like I’d been reset. Everything about the Spa is intentional. Not flashy. Not performative. Just right. The bath oils don’t scream of lavender and cliché. The showers are carved from stone and shadow. There’s even a 3-hour Signature Ritual that starts with a body scrub and ends with your soul asking for a cigarette. I met a woman on the way out, dressed in all white, sipping on ginger tea like it was a martini. She smiled and said, “Second time this week. I live across town but it’s the only place that feels like the city forgot to follow me in.” I got it. Completely. I’ve been to spas that felt like they were trying too hard. Whale music, overpriced cucumber water, therapists who treat you like a to-do list. This wasn’t that. The Spa treated me like a person, not a customer. A person who needed quiet. A person who didn’t realize how loud everything had gotten until it stopped. On the way out, I stood at the edge of the inner courtyard. Wind brushed past the water garden. Somewhere, a bell chimed. My shoulders were lower. My jaw, unclenched. My body, lighter. Not healed completely. But I was reminded. The world outside was still spinning fast. But for a moment, inside those walls, I remembered how to be still. And that? That’s the kind of therapy no app can deliver.

  • The History Of Heels: Explained

    The History Of Heels: Explained by Aishwarya The History Of Heels: Explained 4 November 2022 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement For the last 3 centuries, high heels are extensively thought to be a women’s vogue. Seen everywhere from the runways to daily work attire, adding several elevations to a woman’s height is often thought of as the key to attachment associate ensemble along. All the same, as addicts of fashion at intervals and out of doors the trade take strides to interrupt the gender binary in attire, multiple men are noticed sporting high heels. By clutches footwear that has become such an associate picture illustration of female fashion, their selection is far dubbed “ground-breaking” or “gender-bending.” Curiously enough, the invention of high heels began specifically for men. The initial notable kind of heels dates back to the 10th- century in Persia. Male warriors riding horseback used heels to secure their feet within the stirrups and provide them additional leverage while fighting. The origin of high-heels is derived back to the fifteenth century in Persia when warriors wore them to secure their legs in stirrups. Persian settlers brought the shoe trend to Europe, where men and nobles wore them to look tall and fearful. Because the high heel came to indicate power and military artistry, it conjointly changed into a show of wealth, as solely those with wealth might afford horses. This symbolism reemerges in France during the 1600s during the reign of King Sun King. The Master of Versailles used footwear to differentiate each category and preference of the military. In 1670, he declared that solely members of the noble category might wear heels, and also he solely allowed his favourite courtiers to wear red( his colour of choice). The most international and perhaps the oldest shoe story considers a righteous woman whose shoes elevate her to a progressive rank- Cinderella. The story of the ‘slipper test’ is derived from the first century in Egypt. This tale and many more like them, advocate the picture of slippers as status and represent the importance, power and magic of shoes. By the end of the French Revolution, though, high heels were thought of as too feminine and customarily forgotten by men in Europe, yet, across the pool, because the yank West began to draw in new settlers, the wrangler, arguably associated and outlined by his attire, was thought of as the epitome of masculinity and masculine pride. Most wrangler kicks featured an associate inverted spherical heel referred to as a Cuban heel( representing the footwear of ancient Flamenco prom) and were a necessity for staying upright while moving long distances on horseback. Despite this, heels outside the wrangler setting were typically still thought to be women’s shoes. It had been not till the 1960s, once the rock group jaded the “ Beatle Boots ” — associated with early replication of Chelsea kicks — that the heel was reinvited into menswear. Rock- n- roll teams of the late-twentieth century like Aerosmith and Mötley Crue embraced such tamed designs in addition, whereas glam gem artists like Kiss and David Bowie selected for alternative ostentatious renditions. Unlike the low Cuban heels of'70s hair bands, Bowie and his stage persona Ziggy romanticism gravitated towards daring platforms, stilettos, or typically improved heels all of that were, at the time, substitutable with women's fashion. Whereas cultures like drag queen communities and theatre culture throughout this point had earlier standardized men carrying heels and alternative historically womanly clothes, Bowie's look brought gender subversive fashion to the thought. In the 2010s, the come of the Chelsea bang in convenience wardrobes was, erstwhile once more, met was respectable attention. Though, as designers still mix menswear and womenswear, the androgynous lines around apparel and accessories have lightened in their harshness. Heels improved and flashier than a straightforward black Chelsea kick square measure additional common for men than in previous decades. Brands have used them as a part of their menswear collections, and they have so established their approach to streetwear. Such as apparel, the step-down of heels as a "woman's shoe" continues to unfold as attire becomes lesser tied to one's personal identity and sex. As men hit red carpets and magazine covers in robes, there's no reason they ought to not have a pleasant few heels to accompany them.

  • Reflecting on Our World’s Billionaires Despite Corona

    SOCIETY By Aparajita Jaiswal Reflecting on Our World’s Billionaires Despite Corona 27 July 2020 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The coronavirus has hit the global economy hard and that includes even the richest people in the world. Forbes recently published its annual list of billionaires and found that the number of billionaires has dropped significantly because of the pandemic. Even among those still on the list, more than half saw their wealth decrease since the pandemic. There were 2,095 billionaires on the list when it was finalized on March 18, according to the business website. That was 58 fewer billionaires than last year and 226 fewer than at the beginning of the month, Forbes reported. Of course, with the markets in flux because of the coronavirus, each billionaire’s net worth also fluctuates depending on the day. Despite this, Jeff Bezos, 56, still stands to be the richest man in the world, despite transferring a quarter of his Amazon stake to his ex-wife MacKenzie last summer, according to Forbes. He was worth $113 billion on March 18. Coronavirus has led Jeff Bezos to donate $100M to feed hungry Americans. Bezos’ gift was the largest single donation Feeding America has ever received. “Today, I want to support those on the front lines at our nation’s food banks and those who are relying on them for food with a $100 million gift to @FeedingAmerica,” Bezos wrote on Instagram. Despite the plight of the world and the ongoing economic effect of the coronavirus crisis, billionaires in the U.S. have seen their wealth increase by over $406 billion in the past month. Other billionaires who have seen their wealth grow amid the pandemic include Tesla CEO Elon Musk — also by nearly $10 billion since January 1. In that time, Zoom founder Eric Yuan has added $3.5 billion to his net worth at $7.4 billion, thanks to the popularity of his video conferencing software in lockdown. Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has added more than $4 billion to his fortune. #JeffBezosBezosCoronavirusInstagramTeslaTeslaCEOElonMuskElonMuskMacKenzieZoomfounderEricYuanFormerMicrosoftCEOSteveBallmerBillionForbesPandemicWealthBillionaireFeedingAmerica SEARCH Why India is the most depressed country in the world?

  • Bullying

    SOCIETY by Akash Khatri Bullying 1 December 2020 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Have you, even in the slightest way, ever bullied or been bullied? I think most of us have, and that’s an unfortunate thing on both the sides. People of all ages are bullied, or bully someone, from a very young age to an old age, too; and at every possible place. May it be at the playground, or schools and colleges or public places, and so on. Not only peers, friends, fellow mates or strangers; sometimes even family members and relatives are responsible for bullying. Even unnoticed things such as some rude comment, or a taunt can hurt someone deeply; and this promotes bullying. Types of bullying: Physical bullying: When bullies try to hurt or torture someone physically, or even touch them without their consent. Verbal bullying: It is when a person taunts or teases the other person. Psychological bullying: When a person or group of people gossip about another person or exclude them from being part of the group, can be termed as psychological bullying. Cyber bullying: When bullies insult, hurt, spread rumours about or harass someone on social media. They make embarrassing and degrading (sometimes very inappropriate) comments, even on public forums, where others can see them; and hurt the person. Bullies also share the person’s personal information, pictures or videos to spoil someone’s public image. Sometimes, we say or do things that we think are just for fun; but it might be affecting the other person. And if they ask you to stop, do not continue doing it. And if you notice someone bullying or being bullied, call it out. Bullies haven’t always been the same. Some things in their life made them do it once or maybe twice; but they resorted to it. Sometimes, the ones who are bullied turn into bullies. Calling out will bring the bullies forward and preventing bullying will not only save people from being bullied, but can also help prevent more people turning into bullies.

  • Cancel Culture

    Cancel Culture by Akash Khatri Cancel Culture 1 November 2020 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Cancel culture, a social media phenomenon where active social media users seek to remove the clout of a celebrity who says or does something offensive by ‘cancelling’ them. Basically, the ‘cancel’ here means to cancel out or end a person’s career in reaction to his or her unacceptable behaviour or action. For instance, if there is a celebrity or any public figure who makes a misogynistic, racist, casteist, or sexist statement or commits an act of sexual crime, there could be calls to boycott the actor’s films and other works, exile him or her from all public events and disconnect the person from all the social alliances. As a result, the person is ‘cancelled’ culturally, socially, economically and politically. There are two types of cancel culture, first one a call-out culture. Here, the responsible individual is mortified publicly on social media for his or her statements and the resulting outcry hold them accountable for their fallacy. The second variant is more serious. Here, the celebrity is called out on social media and a larger mass boycotts his or her products or services, eventually bringing a full stop to their careers. Most of the times it gets much wider and substantial or controversial but the immense recognition cancel culture enjoys, especially among teenagers and young adults, makes it one of the most controlling movements in recent times. One of the main critiques of cancel culture is that it’s making people more bigoted, quick to judge and banish those who even slightly disagree with them. Cancel culture doesn’t leave any room for constructive discourse because social media users often deliver a quick decision, based on a snap judgment, to a celebrity they view as offensive — leaving no opportunity for them to put forward their explanation on their act and make their case against their own ‘cancellation.’ But people tend to forget — whether a celebrity is canceled or not, it is up to the celebrity themself, not on those wanting to cancel them. Though targeting someone will not just affect them, but their mental health and the livelihood of many related to them, and that’s not just. However, ending someone’s career completely is easier said than done. Not many entities have had their careers completely shut down due to the negative views on the internet. Actor and activist Jameela Jamil, has said that this phenomenon is a “pointless waste of time.” But, then again, the term is utilsed among so many, that to figure out if the phenomenon is negative or positive have been made indistinct. The principal questions are: Has social media simply given another name to something that is going to exist for a lifetime? Does this phenomenon really exist when cancelling someone doesn’t mostly work forever? Does the idea of being cancelled stop awful content? Or is it just another trend that is being followed blindly?

One thing that is much needed and should be updated is the fashion and clothing and if it’s in the good side without putting burden on the environment we live in what could be better than that?

  • A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma

    A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma By Anushka Sharma A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma 19 October 2024 COVER STORIES Advertisement In a realm where opportunity often knocks in unexpected ways, Aditi Sharma's story shines as a beacon of resilience and creativity. Known for her vibrant presence on screen and her fearless stint on "Khatron Ke Khiladi," Aditi’s journey is a blend of passion, social media savvy, and sheer determination. To Fearless Beginnings: Conquering Khatron Ke Khiladi: Starting the conversation with her experience on the adrenaline-pumping reality show, Aditi shared how "Khatron Ke Khiladi" was nothing short of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Handling scorpions and jumping into deep waters was daunting, yet exhilarating. It was a test of physical endurance and mental strength, but Aditi embraced every challenge. Despite her short run on the show, she left with memories that transformed her. “Most of the things were very scary,” she reflects. “But it’s also real fun because, in the end, you’re doing something you never thought possible. I used to not be afraid of water, but after the show, I have a new respect for deep water. It was a different feeling.” From YouTube to Stardom: A Dream Takes Flight: Unlike many who set their sights on acting through traditional channels, Aditi's journey began in the digital realm. During her college days, she dreamed of being on screen but didn’t know where to begin. Starting on YouTube while studying journalism and mass communication, she hoped her presence would someday lead to bigger opportunities. And it did. Her first break came with a Clean & Clear face wash commercial, which took her to Bangkok on her first international trip. That advertisement opened doors for more projects, and social media played a crucial role in her rise to fame. “Social media was everything for me,” she says. “It’s how people discovered me, from YouTube videos to getting shortlisted for magazine shoots. That was my entry into the industry.” Navigating the Roller Coaster of Life in Entertainment: Aditi admits that her career has been a roller coaster, marked by highs and lows. The nature of the industry is unpredictable, with periods of intense work followed by moments of waiting for the next big opportunity. Yet, Aditi has embraced the ride, finding joy in every experience. Her role in Yeh Jaadu Hai Jinn Ka remains one of her most cherished memories. The magical storyline, combined with the physical demands of the role—such as performing stunts and working with harnesses—challenged her creatively and pushed her boundaries. “Every project I’ve worked on holds a special place in my heart, but that show was particularly close to me. It was a creative playground where imagination ran wild.” All About The Love for Travel and Finding Balance: Though her schedule is often packed with 12-14 hour shoots, Aditi carves out time for her other passion—travel. She fondly recalls her trips to the Maldives, a place she calls “breathtaking,” for its serenity and beauty. Whether it’s enjoying a romantic getaway or simply relaxing with friends, Maldives remains her favorite destination. Despite the long working hours, Aditi emphasizes the importance of balance. She begins each day with a 30-minute workout to boost her energy, which she credits for keeping her physically and mentally fresh. Her night routine is just as essential, helping her unwind and recharge for the next day. To Looking Ahead: Aditi’s Ambitions for the Future: When asked about her future goals, we realized that Aditi is private, but hopeful. She aspires to work on larger projects, including collaborations with directors like Imtiaz Ali and Neeraj Pandey. “I see myself growing in both my personal and professional life, but I believe in keeping my dreams close until they come true.” Aditi’s journey, from her YouTube days to becoming a household name, is a testament to the power of perseverance, innovation, and adaptability. In an age where social media can be a gateway to dreams, Aditi is proof that with the right mindset, anything is possible. Her advice to budding actors and creators? “Social media has made things easier, but you still have to put in the work. It’s about making the right use of it, and if you fit the bill, you’ll get the role.” In a fast-evolving industry, Aditi Sharma remains a dynamic force—an actress who not only embraces challenges but also rewrites the narrative of what it means to succeed in today’s digital world.

  • Kanchan Serai: Balancing The Skies And The Spotlight

    Kanchan Serai: Balancing The Skies And The Spotlight By Anushka Sharma Kanchan Serai: Balancing The Skies And The Spotlight 15 August 2024 LIFESTYLE Advertisement In the fast-paced world of aviation and social media, Kanchan Serai is a name that stands out. A seasoned cabin crew instructor with a decade of experience, Kanchan has seamlessly transitioned into the realm of content creation, becoming an influential voice in beauty and lifestyle. But how did she manage to juggle these diverse roles so effectively? Kanchan's journey began in the skies long ago. Starting her career as a cabin crew member, she quickly moved up the ranks, spending several years in office roles before becoming an instructor in Sharjah, UAE. Her passion for teaching and her knack for public speaking made this a natural progression. However, about a year and a half ago, she decided to embrace another passion – influencing. "I saw the field growing and thought, why not? I love beauty and lifestyle, and I'm good at public speaking," Kanchan shares. This leap of faith paid off, as she now enjoys a thriving career as a beauty and lifestyle influencer . Her Instagram is filled with stunning travel photos, beauty tips, and glimpses into her glamorous life. Among her favorite travel destinations is Turkey. "I've been there three or four times. I love the culture, the vibe, and how everyone is relaxed. You can sit by, have your coffee, and enjoy the weather," Kanchan says. Her love for travel is evident in her posts, which often feature picturesque locations and candid moments. Despite her busy schedule, Kanchan makes time for her family. Traveling with her seven-year-old daughter has become a delightful adventure. "She loves traveling and is always excited to join me. We even plan trips together, like to Phuket," Kanchan smiles. Balancing motherhood and a demanding career is no small feat, but Kanchan manages it with grace. Her content primarily revolves around beauty and lifestyle , but she has plans to expand. "I want to get into public speaking to inspire other women. It's all about being consistent and engaging with your followers," she advises. Her goal is to launch her own line of products, a venture she is actively working towards. Kanchan's passion for beauty is not limited to content creation. She, along with her husband owns men's salons in Ajman and Sharjah, which are named as “Big Boss.” She is also planning to start a retail store catering to both men and women. "I want to have my own line of products for everyone," she reveals. This entrepreneurial spirit is a testament to her dedication and ambition. For those aspiring to enter the world of content creation, Kanchan's advice is simple: "Be consistent and engage with your followers. It takes time and patience, but if you provide good content, people will recognize you." In the aviation industry, her advice is equally straightforward: "If you meet the criteria – good height, weight, and communication skills – just apply. You'll get through." The height requirement for cabin crew in UAE is 160 cm, and the age range is 21 to 28 years old. Despite the common perception of the aviation industry being glamorous, Kanchan sheds light on the reality. "It's not as glamorous as it looks. There are challenges, like dealing with customer demands and the pressure of flights. But if you're fit and pass your medicals every five years, you can continue indefinitely." Kanchan's journey is a powerful reminder that with passion, dedication, and a supportive family, one can achieve remarkable success in multiple fields. Her story is not just about balancing the skies and the spotlight, but also about inspiring others to pursue their dreams with unwavering determination.

  • Exploring Dreams And Journeys With Liza Viardo

    Exploring Dreams And Journeys With Liza Viardo By Anushka Sharma Exploring Dreams And Journeys With Liza Viardo 14 August 2024 LIFESTYLE Advertisement In a candid conversation, we had the pleasure of diving into the inspiring journey of Liza , a professional TV host, and influencer, whose path to success is a testament to resilience, passion, and adaptability. Born in Siberia and moved to Moscow in her childhood, Liza 's story is one of perseverance and ambition, navigating through different careers and countries to achieve her dreams. From Law to Journalism: A Journey of Dreams Liza 's journey to becoming a TV host began in Moscow, where she was raised. Despite her early aspirations to be a TV host, financial constraints forced her to pursue a degree in law. "When I was young, I had no money for this type of education and for this job," Liza shared. She initially worked as a lawyer to support her family, living with her mother. However, her passion for journalism never waned. During her maternity leave, Liza decided to revisit her dream. She pursued a second degree in journalism, paying for her education while balancing her responsibilities as a mother. Her determination paid off, and she transitioned from law to becoming a TV journalist, gaining valuable experience as a blogger along the way. The Power of Professional Education Liza believes in the importance of professional education for aspiring journalists. "I like to be professional. We have to emphasize the knowledge and experience that a diploma will get you," she said.

"It's better to be in a society of professionals and to take their experience," she added. To Embracing Dubai: A New Chapter Liza currently resides in Dubai, a city she deeply loves. Having lived there for a year with her husband and two children, she finds the city welcoming and supportive. "Everyone is friendly here. We support each other," she noted. Liza has also built a community of bloggers in Dubai, organising breakfasts and shooting sessions to foster collaboration. Dubai's safety and friendly environment are significant advantages for Liza and her family. She highlighted the high level of safety and the polite, supportive community as key factors in her positive experience. "I don't lock my door, and I can leave my wallet where the cameras are," she mentioned, emphasizing the city's secure environment. On Balancing Work and Passion Beyond her professional pursuits, Liza is an avid sports enthusiast with a background in rhythmic aerobics. She enjoys wake surfing in Dubai and emphasizes the importance of finding a sport one loves. "It's very important to find the kind of sports that you like," she advised. Liza believes in the benefits of consistent physical activity and enjoys both team sports and solo workouts. All About Travelling the World Liza's love for travel has taken her to various destinations, from road trips across Europe to exploring South Asia and beyond. Despite the challenges of travelling with children, she and her husband have embraced the experience. "We have a big experience travelling with kids," she shared, noting the importance of planning and considering their interests. Influencing and Future Plans of Liza’s Life As an influencer in Dubai, Liza collaborates with beauty brands and companies supporting entrepreneurs. She is grateful for the opportunities Dubai offers and plans to expand her social media presence organically. "My blog grows step by step, and I can manage this," she explained.

  • Into The Enticing and Harmful World of Fast Fashion

    Into The Enticing and Harmful World of Fast Fashion by Rupashree Ravi Into The Enticing and Harmful World of Fast Fashion 13 August 2022 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement What comes to your mind when someone says trendy, fashionable, and affordable? Of course, big brands like H&M, Zara, Forever 21, and Shein, which are widely popular and are known for their cheap and fashionable clothing. These are clothing giants that entice their loyal customer base with sales and exciting offers, and you cannot say no to them. But the cost of making these clothes comes at a heavy price. These brands are the biggest players in the fashion industry and are also among the most damaging industries for the environment. They are fast fashion retailers who bring out large quantities of a variety of products and allow consumers to get more fashion and product differentiation at a very low price. Stores like Zara, Forever 21 and H&M are the pioneers of fast fashion in the 21st century ‘Fast fashion’ is cheaply manufactured and low priced garments that copy the latest catwalk styles and get quick entry into retail stores in order to maximise on the current fashion trends. It is called the fast fashion model because it involves rapid design, mass production, and distribution as well as heavy marketing. Today, it takes less than fifteen days for a garment to move from the design stage to being sold physically in stores. The term has gained more prominence in recent times and is often used in conversations revolving around environmental consciousness as well as sustainability. This is extremely worrisome because the fashion industry, especially since the rise of fast fashion, has become the second largest consumer of water and is responsible for 10 per cent of carbon emissions and 20 per cent of wastewater globally. It also dries up water sources and pollutes waterways. This is because these fast fashion retailers use about 700 gallons of water to make one cotton shirt and about 2,000 gallons to make one pair of jeans. Moreover, the textile dyes that they use contribute to polluting these waterways as the chemicals leak into the water, which also poses health risks to the general population. Fast fashion has been growing at an unsustainable rate These brands also use synthetic fibres like polyester, nylon and acrylic which take several years to biodegrade. The fast fashion model is also an energy-intensive process. Even cotton is not an environment-friendly fabric to manufacture for fast fashion companies as they are exposed to a number of pesticides that are very harmful. So, what’s the solution? The alternative to fast fashion is sustainable fashion or eco-fashion. To counter the environmental damage caused by fast fashion, sustainable fabrics like wild silk, organic cotton, hemp, linen, and lyocell can be used in a responsible manner. We can certainly choose to shop in a more sustainable way, but getting involved with sustainable fashion does not necessarily require buying anything new. Sustainable fashion aims to be conscious and ethical Sustainable fashion brands like Brogger, Insom, Ka-Sha focus on bringing out cruelty-free products. They use fewer resources wherever possible to reduce impact and conserve water by using organic mills and ozone technology in its production to benefit people, plants, and animals. Some of these brands also give away their profits to charitable causes. Even vegan leather has become very popular in recent times. Local Indie fashion brands are becoming popular It is essential that we as consumers stop buying from these fast fashion companies and instead choose locally produced garments. Try opting for local Indian brands like Udd Stories or Anokhi that are made by indigenous communities. #FastFashion #SustainableFashion #EcoFashion #VocalForLocal #OOTD SEARCH Why does Fashion Need Fashion Shows FASHION From Dreams To Crowns: Anuradha Garg’s Inspiring Mrs. India Story FASHION Colour Psychology in Fashion: Explained FASHION Legendary Female Icons Who Made Fashion Statements In The 20th Century FASHION The House of Chanel: History FASHION POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah Francesca Bellettini Ushers In Gucci’s New Dawn 19 September 2025 FASHION By Shriniwas Kodape Dibba Studio: Weaving The Future Of Fashion At Thailand Fashion Week AW25-26 2 September 2025 FASHION By Shriniwas Kodape Aksstagga: Threads That Whisper Love, Memory, And Eternity 21 August 2025 FASHION By Sakshi Shah The Pursuit Of Comfort: Body By Victoria’s Secret Redefines The Everyday Bra 18 August 2025 FASHION RELATED POSTS Advertisement

  • The Thrill Of Thrift Shopping

    The Thrill Of Thrift Shopping By Anushka Sharma The Thrill Of Thrift Shopping 27 June 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Exploring the magic of thrift shopping is more than just a sustainable fashion adventure. It is literally a thriving market as of now! Have you ever wanted to find cool clothes without spending lots of money? Well, thrift shopping might be just the thing for you! It's like going on a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, you're searching for awesome clothes at bargain prices. Thrift shopping is not your usual trip to the mall. It's more like a fun adventure where you explore different stores looking for hidden gems. You never know what you might find – from vintage dresses to funky shirts, there's something for everyone. But thrift shopping isn't just about getting cheap clothes. It's also about being eco-friendly. You see, when you buy second-hand clothes, you're giving them a new life instead of letting them end up in a landfill. That means you're helping the environment by reducing waste. How cool is that? And it's not just good for the planet – it's good for people too. By buying from thrift stores, you're supporting local businesses and charities. Plus, you're not giving your money to big companies that might not treat their workers fairly. But perhaps the best thing about thrift shopping is the thrill of finding a fantastic piece for a fraction of the price you'd pay in a regular store. It's like scoring a goal in a soccer game or finding a hidden treasure – you feel excited and proud of your discovery. I remember the first time I went thrift shopping. I found this amazing leather jacket that looked like it came straight out of a movie. And the best part? It was way cheaper than buying a new one! That's the magic of thrift shopping – you never know what treasures you might uncover. So whether you're a fashionista on a budget or just someone who loves a good bargain, thrift shopping is definitely worth a try. It's fun, it's eco-friendly, and it's a great way to express your unique style without breaking the bank. So why not give it a go? Thrift shopping isn't just about finding clothes – it's about discovering pieces of history and expressing your personality in a way that's completely your own. Each item you come across has a story to tell, from the vintage dress worn by a glamorous movie star to the funky shirt that was once someone's favorite weekend wear. But the best part? You get to rewrite those stories and make them your own. Maybe you'll take that old leather jacket and give it a modern twist with some patches and pins. Or perhaps you'll turn a plain T-shirt into a work of art with a bit of DIY magic. With thrift shopping, the possibilities are endless, and your imagination is the only limit. And let's not forget the thrill of the hunt. There's something exhilarating about scouring racks and shelves in search of that perfect piece. It's like being a detective on a mission, except instead of solving crimes, you're solving fashion dilemmas. So next time you're in need of a wardrobe refresh, skip the mall and head to your local thrift store instead. Not only will you save money and help the planet, but you'll also embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure that's guaranteed to leave you feeling inspired and excited about fashion. Who knows what treasures you'll find? The only way to find out is to go thrifting and see for yourself!
