Being a mom means – NO TIME FOR YOUR SELF. I remember not being able to step out of the home in the first few months after my son was born. The paed had specifically told – No mall Hopping with the baby – unless you want him to pick up infections. From there to now, I still find it hard to make time for myself even for the little things like visiting a parlor. Have to ask the husband, (make that beg) please be home for some time, look after the kid I need a few hours break! He agrees to it reluctantly and every few minutes I get updates on Whatsapp!! But then I came across this concept of bringing the salon at home! That was a blessing! Isn’t it wonderful to get pampered from the comfort of your home? Here’s how I brought the salon at home.

How I brought the salon at home with VLCC Vanity Cube?

VLCC Vanity Cube is like your personal salon that you can enjoy from the comforts of your home. Trained professional beauticians visit you at your given time with world-class VLCC products and pamper you. Now you can bring the salon at home at your convenient time, on your convenient day, no queues, no invasion of privacy and you can watch you kid playing next to you! How cool is that?

I had not had a pedicure in last one month and badly needed a good foot pampering. I ended up booking a Specifix Anti-Tan Pedicure, a manicure and a VLCC Ayurveda Haldi Chandan Facial.

My beautician Kavitha arrived with her equipment and in no time my living room was turned into a spa. I loved the fact, she got this electric multifunctional foot spa tub. It not only heated the water, but was a spa foot massager in itself. She even brought her own extension cord – which was so thoughtful, all my extension cords are occupied currently! It was 45 minutes long pampering with bath salts, scrubs, massage and an anti-tan pack.

We moved on to a regular manicure soon enough which of course consisted of cut, file, scrub, massage, and beautiful nail paint. All that while my little slept beside me on the sofa!

Within seconds, Kavitha turned my lounger sofa in a spa bed and we were ready for a VLCC Haldi Chandan Facial. It was 45 minutes of bliss with clean up, exfoliation, massage and a soothing face pack.

Bluey was up from his nap, while I was enjoying the facial and then we found these two wanting to get some pampering too!

Wasn’t this just wonderful – all from the comfort of your home with the baby under your watch! I am a satisfied customer at the end of the day!

The day was cold and gloomy.

“This was supposed to be my biggest day, I can’t believe it, this is happening to me”

“Shh Jane, don’t mess up your make-up”

“I don’t even care about make-up or this dress anymore!”, said the fuming Bride.

“Don’t worry, you have an entire life to give him your piece of mind”, said the Maid of Honor.

“Entire Life! I am going to give that to him right away”, she hissed while her gang of friends giggled behind.

“This is the wedding of the millennium, Jane, we never thought something like this was even possible”.

“No, it’s not funny, it’s bloody ridiculous!”

“Who the hell made these stilettoes, the feet are meant for walking.” Jane was livid.

“Because the fashion –gurus didn’t know the bride will end up hiking on this godforsaken hill because the drunken groom has changed the venue the night before!”

Living in a Green Oasis, SOBHA HRC Pristine, Jakkur Bangalore – Luxury apartments in Bangalore

by tinabasu
written by tinabasu

Are you looking to buy apartments in Bangalore? The new Luxury apartments in Bangalore offers you a chance to live amidst the greenery, with incredible amenities and great connectivity.

If there is one thing that Bangalore can boast about, apart from the great weather and job opportunity – it is the real estate options that it offers to its buyers. Bangalore has a plethora of housing options that you can choose from. Whether you want to stay in an apartment, a villa or a row house – Bangalore has it all! There is no dearth of luxury apartments in Bangalore where you can indulge in peaceful family time and truly unwind after work. We recently came across a new launch property in North Bangalore which promises to provide luxury, comfort and lavish outlook. So we happened to check it out to see it for ourselves.


Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers

SOBHA Limited has launched a new luxury property called SOBHA HRC Pristine in Jakkur Bangalore. This property offers a beautiful choice of 3 and 4-bed luxury apartments, row houses, and penthouses. Read on for more details about the property and why we felt it’s worthy of living in a green oasis.

Location – Jakkur, North Bangalore

With excellent road connectivity, locations like Hebbal and Jakkur are booming with real estate expansion. Jakkur is a suburb in the northern part of Bangalore between Yelahanka and Hebbal. With fast lane highways and proximity to tech parks Jakkur, today is a prime location for residential properties in Bangalore. SOBHA HRC Pristine is off the Jakkur signal before the Jakkur Aerodrome (flying club). Nestled between two beautiful lakes Jakkur Lake and Rachenahalli Lake this location promises breathtaking views and excellent groundwater levels.

Connectivity

Initially, I had a feeling it will be quite far but surprisingly it took me about 15-20 minutes from Hebbal junction on a weekday morning. National Highway 44 has seen significant upgrades in recent times and the lanes are wide. The property is about 700 Mt. from the main road, and the streets is pretty good, given the condition of roads across Bangalore, currently!

Why is SOBHA HRC Pristine a Green Oasis?

When we reached the location, we were greeted a green wave as we entered the property. The property is located on a farm that is dotted with rare native trees like teak, oak, mango, and many more. What was endearing to know was that the makers will try to retain most of the native trees of the total 8.49 acres land.

City living always has the lack of green space around. We are surrounded by concrete buildings and roads. If I were to choose between living in an area with only high rises and a residential place with lots of greenery – I’d choose the green oasis, hands down. When you are living in this green oasis, you are saved from the air and the crazy noise levels.

The property boasts of a vast well which will be available to residents in the form of a bio-pond. What can be better than living amidst the greens and exquisite water bodies?

Who should look forward to this Luxury apartment in Bangalore?

SOBHA HRC Pristine is located between Hebbal and Yelahanka which are dotted with various SEZ and tech parks. If you are working in and around Manyata Tech Park, Kirloskar tech park and the other close by areas, you can definitely consider this site.

SOBHA HRC Pristine offers 2 BHK, 3BHK and 4BHK luxury apartments, 4 BHK Penthouses and 4BHK row houses. With clear titles and funded by State Bank of India, this makes an excellent choice for investment in property.

Amenities and Neighbourhood

All the SOBHA properties boast of world-class amenities, and HRC Pristine will have all falities like a state of the art clubhouse, lawns, gardens, bio pond, water bodies, play area, skating rink, cricket pitch, half basketball court, gymnasium, tennis court, cricket pitch and many more.

The location is perfect for residential purpose because it has schools and colleges like Vibgyor, Kensri School, Jain Heritage School, Mallya Aditi International School, Kristu Jayanti College in the vicinity.  Whereas you can find world-class healthcare facilities like Columbia Asia Hospital, Aster CMI Hospital and Baptist Hospital nearby.

With such great amenities and facilities nearby, SOBHA HRC Pristine turns out to be one of a right place for investing in luxury apartments in Bangalore. What do you think?

Why PayPal is essential for freelancers in India 

by tinabasu
written by tinabasu

If you are you an entrepreneur, blogger, YouTuber freelancer or someone who does business online, the first question on your mind always is how to get work! And when you have got your business rolling the second big thought is – how to get that international client? How do I get paid from international clients? How do I grow my business and reach my international customers? I had these questions too. Fortunately, the answer is simple. Create a PayPal account and see your work go borderless.

With the rise in number of Freelancers in India, PayPal, the online payment service, is becoming the financial backbone for them. Let’s see why PayPal is essential for freelancers in India.


Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers

paypal freelancers in india

How does PayPal help Freelancers in India?

I am a freelance content developer and graphic designer and I work with clients in India and abroad. I also sell my design work on various websites. If you’re a freelancer and are dealing with international clients, you would have the question of receiving global payments in your local account. My questions were answered when I made my PayPal account, ever since then, I never had to look back, and my payments became a lot more seamless.

PayPal is an online payment service that allows individuals and businesses to transfer funds electronically. For freelancers in India, you can receive money on your PayPal account very easily from places like Australia, Europe, US and pretty much most places around the globe where Indians love to showcase their freelancing skills… With a PayPal account, you can simply share your PayPal id (which is basically the email id that you registered with at PayPal) with your client to receive payment. The payment will then get credited to your linked local bank account in the local Indian currency. The process is easy and quick.

Why is PayPal the financial backbone for freelancers in India? And a little bit of Personal Experience

For Freelance Service Related Work:

Any website that you join for sourcing freelancing work like Freelancer, Upwork, 99Designs, Fivver will request you to link your PayPal email id to receive payments. PayPal is a very popular payment gateway globally and has over 200 million active accounts. Some of these websites pay you only through PayPal. I remember when I was creating my profile on UpWork, I had to fill out the PayPal email for payments. That’s when I made my account. If you are starting out as a freelancer, make sure you have a PayPal account since most of your customers may want to pay you through PayPal.

For Selling Products

If you are a freelancer who sells a product through your own website – like designs, ebooks, or have an online shop, you can add PayPal payment gateway in your website, with your PayPal business account so that you can receive payment from international customers.

Payment Limit

Any PayPal account holder can receive up to 10,000$ per transaction from International clients, which is a great payment cap.

How do you get the dollars in INR?

Once you’ve received payment in your PayPal account, it automatically transfers the money to your linked account in local currency.  I love the fact that everything on PayPal is automated. There’s no need for you to manually transfer your money from PayPal to your bank account. In other words, zero headaches. You can invest more time in your creativity than do clerical operations. You can even raise a professional invoice to your customers across the globe, and also customize the templates as per your choice. Now seal the deal successfully with your global clients.

Seller Protection Policy

The PayPal Seller Protection Policy covers protection on intangible things as well – even if you are selling digital products. If your transaction goes wrong, or someone falsely claims money back stating they have not received the service, PayPal notifies the seller and all you, as a seller need to do is provide the client’s download link – which is a proof that the client has got service. PayPal then contests this false claim on your behalf and protects the freelancer.

Get Paid Faster with PayPal.Me- Your personalized payment link

One of the best ways to get paid faster is to use the PayPal.Me feature. This is your personalized link that you can send to anyone for quicker payments. This method does not entail the use of an invoice. Register on the site PayPal.me and grab your name or your business name and your link will appear as PayPal.me/YourName e.g PayPal.me/Twinklingtina and you can share this link easily with your clients over social media or any other medium. Your client needs to only click on the link and they are redirected to the payment page. PayPal.Me is a great way for you to give a unique identity to your business and what can be better than getting paid with the click of a link?

paypal me

What do you need to use PayPal?

I’ve found PayPal useful in reaching my international clients and for shopping from global sites. I know for a fact that if there is any trouble with the products I’ve purchased, PayPal’s Buyer Protection Policy will help me out. So as a freelancer, I get paid for my assignments on PayPal and I can also use it as a customer to buy stuff from global sites.

And just as we speak, PayPal has launched its India services as well.So I can now book movie tickets at BookMyShow or say plan a holiday online at a MakeMyTrip or Yatra.

PayPal has always gone beyond payments. It has created experiences with its services for merchants, consumers, and freelancers. If you’re a freelancer, there’s more good news coming your way. With, its latest #EarnMoreWithPayPal campaign for freelancers you can earn up to 1500 INR on receiving payments using PayPal. It not only opens the freelancer community to more work opportunities but helps them realize a remarkable growth curve that is encouraging for this one-man army.
