Do you really need 10 steps? A lazy girl's guide to k-beauty
There was a time when our skincare routine consisted of soap, prayers, and denial. And then came K-beauty, a tidal wave of glass skin, snail mucin, and enough serums to make a chemist cry tears of joy. Ten steps, they said. Glow like a K-drama lead, they said. What they didn't say is that by step six, your bathroom floor would be stickier than a jalebi counter in be honest, some of us are simply not built for elaborate skincare rituals that require both time and a minor in molecular biology. I mean, I admire the dedication of people who double cleanse and triple essence before bed, but I also admire people who run marathons. Doesn't mean I want to join here's the good news, you don't need to follow all ten steps unless you're trying to win an award in patience. K-beauty isn't about the number of layers, it's about finding joy (and possibly your jawline) in the process. Step 1: Cleansing (Yes, please. You were outside.)Even the laziest among us can manage to wash our faces. Bonus points if you don't use the same body soap from your morning 2: Toner (Optional, unless your skin is moodier than a cat on a diet)A splash here and there is fine. If your skin feels like sandpaper and looks like it just finished a war with the wind, give it a 3: Essence, Serum, Ampoules, and all that jazzHonestly, pick one. Maybe two if Mercury is in retrograde and your ex just texted. You don't need to layer serums like 4: Moisturiser (Non-negotiable. This is your relationship anchor.)This is the glue holding your half-hearted routine together. Even if you skip toner and serums, just slap on some moisturiser and act like you have your life 5: Sunscreen (Unless you live in a cave or are a vampire, wear it.)Not all heroes wear capes, some wear SPF 50. No matter what you skip, this step is the Gandalf of skincare, you shall not pass... without rest, eye cream, sheet masks, facial mists, night packs are like sprinkles on your sundae. Nice to have, but you won't die without them. And no, you don't need to lie down like a sushi roll in a sheet mask every night unless you really enjoy feeling like a soggy to all my fellow lazy girls with Netflix dreams and 2-minute routines, you don't need ten steps to glow. You just need the courage to put something, anything, on your face before bed. And maybe stop using that expired lotion you found at the back of the K-beauty is not about perfection, it's about persistence. Even if that persistence is just washing your face... three nights a is the new glowing, right?- Ends

Happy Raksha Bandhan 2025: Best Rakhi Wishes and Messages to share with your brother or sister
Raksha Bandhan 2025 is here! It's that special time of the year when brothers and sisters across India (and around the world) celebrate their bond with love, laughter, and lots of sweets. Whether you're the mischievous younger sibling or the protective elder one, Raksha Bandhan is all about celebrating the strong emotional thread that ties you together. One of the best parts of this festival is sending heartfelt wishes and messages to your sibling, whether you're tying a rakhi in person or sending it from miles away. So here's a collection of the best, sweetest, and most playful Rakhi wishes for 2025! What is Raksha Bandhan? Raksha Bandhan, often called Rakhi, is a traditional Hindu festival that celebrates the love between brothers and sisters. The word 'Raksha' means protection, and 'Bandhan' means bond. So, put together, the name Raksha Bandhan means 'the bond of protection.' On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread (rakhi) on their brothers' wrists and pray for their happiness and safety. In return, brothers promise to protect their sisters and often give gifts as a token of their love. However, in modern times, the festival has evolved, now sisters tie rakhis to sisters, brothers to brothers, cousins, and even close friends. Because love isn't limited by labels! The origin of Raksha Bandhan As far as myths go, the roots of Raksha Bandhan date back to the ancient age of Lord Krishna and the Mahabharata. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Shows Support For Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo When Lord Krishna cut his finger, Draupadi tore a piece of her saree and tied it around his wound, stopping the bleeding. Touched by this gesture, Krishna vowed to protect her, a vow he later fulfilled during the disrobing incident in the Mahabharata. This is considered a foundational moment in Raksha Bandhan's history, highlighting the theme of protection and care. Historically, during the 1905 Bengal Partition, globally renowned poet Rabindranath Tagore encouraged Hindus and Muslims to tie rakhis to each other as a symbol of unity against the British. When is Raksha Bandhan in 2025? This year, Raksha Bandhan falls on Thursday, August 9. According to Hindu tradition, the most auspicious time to tie the rakhi, called the Shubh Muhurat, is during the Purnima Tithi (full moon day of the month of Shravana). Rakhi Shubh Muhurat 2025: Purnima Tithi begins - 02:12 PM on Aug 08, 2025 Purnima Tithi ends - 01:24 PM on Aug 09, 2025 Shubh Muhurat for Rakhi - 05:47 AM to 01:24 PM Make sure to avoid the Bhadra period, which is considered inauspicious for Rakhi rituals. Why words matter more than gifts Yes, gifts and sweets are great when you receive them from your loved ones. But sometimes, a message that comes from the heart can mean even more. Whether you're near or far, sending a personal Rakhi message can remind your sibling how special they are to you. And let's be honest, no one remembers what gift you gave last year. But a funny, cute, or touching message? That sticks. So if you're stuck wondering, "What should I write in a Rakhi message?" —here's your ultimate guide. Best Raksha Bandhan wishes for 2025 Whether your sibling is near or far, these sweet and simple messages will help you say exactly what's in your heart. Sweet and emotional kickers 'No matter how far we are, you'll always be in my heart. Happy Raksha Bandhan, my dear brother/sister!' 'You've been my biggest support, my partner-in-crime, and my forever friend. Love you always. Happy Rakhi!' 'A bond like ours is built on childhood memories and endless love. Happy Raksha Bandhan 2025!' 'To my sibling: Thank you for always believing in me, even when I didn't. You're my strength. Happy Rakhi!' 'I may not say it often, but I'm grateful every day for having you in my life. Happy Rakhi, bhaiya/didi!' "Dear Bhai, you've always protected me like a hero and supported me like a best friend. On this Raksha Bandhan, I'm just grateful to have you by my side." "You might annoy me all year, but today I'll admit it, I'm lucky to have a brother like you. Happy Raksha Bandhan!" "Rakhi is not just a thread. It's a promise, a prayer, and a symbol of the love we've shared since childhood." "To my sister, who's always been my second mom, my biggest fan, and my first friend, thank you for everything." "Your rakhi reminds me every year that I'm not alone, and someone's always looking out for me." "A sister like you makes life brighter, funnier, and warmer. Happy Raksha Bandhan!" Funny and playful greetings 'Here's your yearly reminder: You're lucky to have a sibling like me! Happy Raksha Bandhan!' 'No return gift? No Rakhi next year. Simple math, bro.'

"Rakhi tied. Now where's the return gift, didi? Don't act like you forgot!" "Thanks for being my unpaid therapist and personal stylist all these years. You deserve a raise this Rakhi!" "You always knew how to blackmail me emotionally. I guess that's sisterhood. Happy Raksha Bandhan!" Overdosing on sentiment for long-distance siblings "Wish I could be there to tie the rakhi on your wrist, but I'm sending love, hugs, and a digital rakhi instead!" "Even if miles separate us, you'll always be close to my heart. Happy Rakhi, sis!" "The thread may be missing this year, but the bond is stronger than ever." 'Even if you're far away this Rakhi, our bond is unbreakable. Sending love and a virtual hug!' 'No distance can dull the shine of our childhood memories. Happy Rakhi from across the miles!' 'Sending this Rakhi through the airwaves, but my heart is right there with you. Love you always!' 'I miss our little fights and big laughs. Can't wait to celebrate together next year. Happy Rakhi!' 'The thread is small, but the bond is huge, even if we're in different time zones!' "No matter how far we are, the bond we share is stronger than any distance. Sending love and rakhi hugs!" "Even though I can't tie the rakhi in person, my heart ties it with all the love in the world." "Raksha Bandhan is about the thread, but it's also about memories, and I've got a lifetime of those with you."

Chef reveals how he managed a way to serve a cuisine that has ‘snakes' to Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma who are vegan: ‘It features a broth made of chicken or beef'
Known for their disciplined lifestyle and unwavering commitment to clean eating, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have been strictly vegan for nearly a decade. While Virat has long credited his plant-based diet for his peak athletic performance, Anushka has also been vocal about the health and environmental benefits of mindful eating. So, when a couple this particular about their food decides to celebrate with a gourmet meal, it's no ordinary task for the chef. Renowned celebrity chef Harsh Dixit, who has made a name for himself crafting exclusive culinary experiences for the stars, recently shared a behind-the-scenes story about one such occasion: cooking for Anushka and Virat's wedding anniversary in December 2019. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Harsh said, 'For Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's anniversary in December 2019, I made Pho, but with a twist.' Traditional Pho, a beloved Vietnamese noodle soup, usually features a rich broth made from chicken or beef—clearly off the table for this vegan couple. 'There's chicken and beef in the broth. But they were eating gluten-free at the time, so we went with rice noodles, which are traditional in Pho and gluten-free,' he added. But the real challenge came from the culinary roots of Pho itself. Harsh explained, 'Vietnamese cuisine includes a lot of snake – snake wine, even snake meat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

'The idea was to have fun while staying within the dietary boundaries. That's what being a private chef is about,' he said. The elaborate dinner wasn't just creatively demanding—it was also a last-minute sprint. In an earlier conversation with IANS, Harsh recalled, 'There was a lot of madness that went behind that too, because I got a call for it on a Saturday, and I shared the menu that evening. Their anniversary was on Thursday in 2019 and they wanted to bring in via a Wednesday night dinner. I only got the confirmation on a Wednesday afternoon at 12:30. ' Despite the tight timeline, Harsh delivered a personalised five-course vegan feast in the comfort of the couple's home. 'It was a five-course vegan dinner, an entirely private dining experience in his home. For me, the opportunity was not just a win professionally, but it also underscored the importance of providing personalised, private dining for athletes who can't enjoy the same restaurant freedom as others,' he reflected.
