Saturday Confessions: 5 Completely Pointless Things About Me



Five Pointless Things about me.So.. I.. have not been regular with my “Saturday Confessions” posts. Hey, don’t look at me like that, it’s not like you have been dying to read these features okay! Anyway, I wanted to get back on track, and as usual, I don’t have any deep dark confessions to share with you. But then there are always silly things that can be talked about. Today I am going to tell you five completely random, pointless things about me.

1) At random times during the day, an old advertisement jingle, some music track of a Disney cartoon or an old Govinda hip-shaking number from the 90’s, may just pop into my head and then play as the back ground music for all my daily activities, all- frigging- day- long.

Maybelline's Color Sensational High Shine Gloss: 110 Mirrored Mauve - Review and swatches

Now gloss goes gloriously gutsy with Color Sensational High Shine Gloss by Maybelline. Pure color from liquid pigments, creamier feel from nourishing honey nectar, and a cleaner shine, only from this 100% wax-free formula. Super-saturated color meets ultra-clean shine…Sensational.

Price: INR350 for 5ml

In June Maybelline launched its Color Sensational High Shine 'POP' colored lip gloss in 8 shades in India. Frankly, I had quite forgotten about the colour "Mauve" since I got obsessed with Pink lipsticks, and the shade "110: Mirrored Mauve" was a refreshing change for me.

Goodbye little fishy -Talia Joy Castellano

13 year old Talia Joy Castellano had been battling with two forms of cancer, but that didn’t stop her from living her life to the fullest. She shared some remarkable upbeat makeup tutorials and her cancer journey on her YouTube channel TaliaJoy18. She passed away on the 16th of this month.

From Talia's official Facebook page:

"Talia Joy Castellano was born on August 18, 1999 at Winter Park Hospital to Desiree Castellano. She grew up with her Mother and Sister, Mattia Castellano, in the Orlando area and enjoyed her many friends and her doggie Bella. Her battle with cancer began when she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at the age of seven, on February 14, 2007, Valentines Day. In August of 2012, after over five years of chemo, surgeries, treatments and multiple relapses, Talia was diagnosed with a secondary cancer, MDS preleukemia. Talia was then told that there were no longer any options to fight her now two types cancers. During this past year, she continued treatments knowing there was no cure, but hoping to slow down the progression and prolong her life. At 11:22 am, July 16th, Talia lost her battle to childhood cancer after fighting for six and half years.

Winds of change

Change is important. It cannot be given to you every time, you must bring the change.

These profound lines can be read outside Chotelal Samose wala's shop, and he means to say "Kripya Paise Khule de." *Ok thnx bye*

If you are still here after that terrible PJ, then I applaud your NTQ (Nonsense Tolerating Quotient) I want to tell you that GingerSnaps is changing. Not majorly, just a tad bit. For better or worse, that is for you to decided. I am really excited to bring for you, my first outfit post.


No way will I ever fall in the category of being “Fashion forward,” but being a girl, I do have a healthy interest in style and I like to have fun with what I wear. I had never thought about doing an outfit post, but recently I started to think “why not?” So on a wickedly overcast day, I forced my friend to click my pictures while I walked around acting all nonchalant.

Jad Se Judein- L'Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X 'Stay Rooted' campaign


A few days back, L'Oreal had come out with their "Go Back In Time" video, and now they have just launched a song, Jad Se Judein’ sung by Mohit Chauhan for the L'Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X 'Stay Rooted' campaign.

Now I LOVE Mohit Chauhan's chocolaty voice (who doesn't?) and the video is really, really sweet. I am not going to lie but I was all choked by the grandmother story (I 'm kind of a crier.) Also, I am not sure if my school teachers would be that happy to see me.. hehe.. Anyway, if you haven't already, do check out the touching song.

Jean-Claude Biguine's Monsoon Party!

Rhea from "Fuss" hosted a monsoon party in collaboration with Jean Claude Biguine last Sunday. It was such a pleasant afternoon where all of us bloggers got to interact with the JCB team and learn hair and makeup tips for this season.

The JCB team created this side pony with a twist on me which literally took like five minutes!

Stay Connected

Dear friends, by the time you are going to read this, Google reader must have already shut down. Well now you know what I was talking about in my "Saturday Confessions" when I said I procrastinate like it's my job. I was supposed to do this post before June 30. Gaah.

Anyway, I think that people are confusing Google Reader with Google Friend Connect, which are two different things. Google reader is shutting down now, whereas Google has already removed GFC from all non-blogger related sites in March 2012. I do think that means that GFC is not going anywhere, at least for now. If Google Reader can be shut down because the Google team wants to focus on fewer products, *ahem Google + ahem* so can GFC. Here are some other ways you can stay connected with GingerSnaps
.

You always know how to say the right thing Patrick
