Wild Thyme Hair Conditioning Lotion
Q2. Can I use conditioner and vinegar at the same time for my hair? Tell me the procedure?
Vinegar helps to restore the normal acid-alkaline balance of the scalp. Harsh shampoos, pollution, sun-exposure, etc., can disrupt the normal balances. Vinegar also helps to reduce dandruff. If your hair is dry, or if you have dandruff, you can apply apple cider vinegar on the scalp with cotton wool 15 minutes before shampoo. After shampoo, apply very little creamy conditioner only on the hair and not on the scalp. Leave on for 2 minutes and wash off with water.
Shatone Herbal Hair Tonic
Q3. I have oily skin, but my face gets dry after washing. What should I use?
Cream should not be used on oily skin, as it can lead to blackheads, pimples, acne or rash. Use a face wash or a pure glycerin soap and wash your face only twice a day. Mix one teaspoon of pure glycerin with 100 ml rose water. Keep in an airtight bottle in the fridge. Use a little of this lotion on your face after washing, to relieve dryness. It will suit your skin type. You can also apply aloe vera gel to relieve dryness.
Shahnaz Husain Tulsi Neem Face Wash
Q7. I am 23 and have dark circles under my eyes. Please suggest a remedy.
Daily apply pure almond oil sparingly under eyes and massage it lightly on the skin, using only the ring finger, for one minute under each eye. Massage in one direction only. Leave on for 15 minutes and wipe off gently with moist cotton wool. Mix cucumber juice and potato juice in equal quantities. Apply under eyes daily for 20 minutes. Wash off with plain water.

To mark India’s 75 years of Independence, the nationwide celebrations will also witness the Embassy of Spain presenting their Indo-Spanish cultural events from 21st-27th February 2022 in the Capital.
“This year marks a significant date for India since we are celebrating the 75 years of its Independence. On this special occasion, the Embassy of Spain in India is working on an event based on one of the most appreciated Spanish poets, Federico García Lorca. His works represent the European vanguard and surrealism of the 20th century, they combine Spanish folklore, Andalusian flamenco, Gypsy culture, while exploring themes of romantic love, women’s rights and tragedy. Therefore, to honour AKAM, the Indian artist and hispanicist, Minu Bakshi, will interpret ten celebrated Spanish songs based on the 1931 performance of Federico García Lorca and La Argentinita. Minu Bakshi has dedicated her life to the study of the Spanish language and culture, and there is no better artist to interpret these songs. “I am delighted to have Minu Bakshi sing popular Spanish songs of Federico García Lorca, which symbolizes the cultural sangam of both Spain and India”, says H.E José Maria Ridao, Ambassador of Spain in India.
Minu Bakshi has been conferred with the 2nd Highest Order given to a foreigner by the King of Spain in 2014, ‘The Order of Isabella la Catolica’ by the Spanish Government for her contribution towards promotion of Spain and its culture. A singer with years of Hindustani classical musical training, a professor of Spanish language at the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, an accredited Spanish language interpreter for the Indian Government, Chairperson of the NGO Savera (a society for the uplifting of underprivileged women and children) and the former Chairperson of the UK Asian Film Festival, London, Minu Bakshi is a multifaceted and versatile artist.
Artist Statement: Minu Bakshi
I am overwhelmed with the confidence the Ambassador has shown in me however, I thought it over many times before making a commitment to them. But then I realized it was a chance of a lifetime to interpret a poet whom I’ve admired since my student days in JNU where I was doing my masters in Spanish. Also I’ve always wished to do something special for Spain, a country that has bestowed such great love and honor on me. They are celebrating my country India’s 75 years of independence! I needed to do my bit for the country where I was born and raised and the other country Spain which I love dearly and have some past life bonding.
When I was approached by His Excellency. the Ambassador of Spain, my first feeling was of joy mixed with a lot of apprehension. I expressed my doubts to him multiple times but he seemed to be confident and here we are.
I feel humbled that I have been asked to represent my country in this collaboration. It’s a really difficult task as the songs and their music are totally new to me even though I had studied Lorca’s poetry as a student. Singing them is a new experience as I’m trained in Indian Hindustani music and to sing in a style which is alien to me is a challenge in itself. To memorize and to learn them in such a short time is difficult.
To add the Indian touch, I’m using the tabla replacing the castanets which is going to be very interesting.
The idea was floated to me by the Ambassador sometime in December after which he sent me recordings of the songs. And then I thought it hard to figure out if I’d be able to do justice to them. I think I heard them for almost 10 days to get the feel of them. In the first week of January I confirmed my participation.
The real challenge started then. I had to find my team of musicians as I mostly work with artists who know Indian instruments. And for this rendition I needed a Pianist as all the songs are sung only with the piano and castanets. So I spent a week zeroing on who we would work with. By this time, it was already mid-January when the final dates of the event were announced. So here I was, left with just a month where I had made other prior commitments too.
Consequently, I’ve been sleeping, eating and living these songs for about a month now and practicing every afternoon for about 3 hours for the last 15 days. Even when I’m not singing I’m listening and trying to memorize the words as they were written almost a hundred years ago. So they are in a different style and the recording that I’m following was done in 1931 where Lorca, the poet and composer, played the piano himself. It’s not an easy task but we’re at it and I hope to make both the Countries proud.

And what better way to kickstart the celebrations than in New Delhi. While technology has helped us negate the distance and bring the world closer, we’re excited to be back in action, in person. We are happy to announce that business is once again on a major upswing as we bring back the physical Showroom and additionally will also have a virtual one to cater to global buyers and help expand our reach. The schedule like previous FDCI x Lakme Fashion Week season-fluid editions will continue to comprise a mix of designers from both cities, and beyond.”
Sumati Mattu, Head of Innovations at Lakmé said, “We are thrilled to be back to a physical format in its entirety with the FDCI X Lakmé Fashion Week this season, bringing alive the world of beauty and fashion in the capital city – New Delhi. Lakmé’s trend statement this year acknowledges the hybrid lives we are all returning to – opening up our worlds yet treading with caution, the bonhomie of engaging with our loved ones yet mindful of our health and wellbeing. With the Lakmé Absolute Explore Eye Collection, our trend focus this season is all about the eyes, the window to our souls and importantly, visible above our masks. A range of trendy liquid-duo eyeshadows and vibrant gel pencils in never before, dramatic, unmissable colours and textures. Get ready for eyes that speak volumes. Through the Lakme Fashion Week, it has always been our endeavor to create an environment for the community that fosters new talent, innovation, and growth. With the return of physical showcases, we are excited to see how the talent showing this year drives renewed energy and excitement in the industry.”
Jaspreet Chandok, Head RISE Fashion and Lifestyle said, “We are excited to announce the return of FDCI X Lakmé Fashion Week in the form of an on-ground event. While the last two years have challenged all of us to innovate and break past geographical barriers, we understand that the magic of experiencing fashion in person. Digital will continue to play an important role in helping us engage with and reach wider audiences and enhance the physical aspects. We look forward to alternate the fashion weeks between Delhi and Mumbai. This collaborative effort will give the platform and its stakeholders the opportunity to interact with varied audiences, while catering to the fashion communities across both hubs.”
