I headed over to ITC Gardenia, to catch all the real estate projects coming up in Bangalore by Prestige Group. While buying a home, myself few years back, I have visited various property expos around Bangalore. But Prestige Keys turned out to be one of its kind. No wonder the Prestige Group stand for quality and luxury. If you are looking to buy home in Bangalore, I would suggest you do not miss this property expo.

After the registration as we enter hallway everyone’s greeted with the VR lounge where you can check out some properties wearing the virtual reality glasses. I happened to check out Prestige Golfshire, a gated community project at Nandi Hills with a full golf course. The VR glasses almost teleports you into the property and you can take a walk through amidst the beautiful villas.

Checking out a property on VR is cool. Momentarily I was in #PrestigeGolfshire at Nandi Hills amongst all the greenery @prestigeconstructions #realestate #prestige #prestigekeys #Keys2017

You can book and pay with a 10%* amount and you have to start paying EMI only after you get possession after the project is completed! How cool is that?

written by tinabasu

Nothing is more enjoyable than parenting kids, but it also has a lot of challenges. All good things come up with something negative. The same thing is applicable for parenting. Lack of knowledge within new parents may cause lags in the process of parenting or caring for babies. As a result, mental and physical growth of babies does not take place as anticipated. To ensure seamless growth of your baby, you need to take some decisions. You need to find some top-notch baby care products. To make things easier for parents, now various online stores have come up with wide collections of products for baby care.

Best Baby Care Products for your loving kid

Skin is the most essential part of babies and to keep the skin of your baby naturally glowing, soft and prevented from rashes, you need to find excellent baby skin care products. In the following section, I’ll share some of the top class products that recommended by child specialists for babies.

Vitamin Enriched Skin Care Oil

When it comes to buying baby care products, you should invest in purchasing the best baby body massaging and skin care oil. These oils come with high-quality vitamins which nourish skin and keeps the skin texture soft and glowing. Malnutrition or bacteria related diseases are the major causes behind skin texture damage for the babies. These vitamin-enriched and highly effective body massaging oil for babies keeps skin problem at bay. The oil should be used as per recommendations of the pediatrician. You can also check the product labels to go through the guidelines. For buying vitamin enriched baby massaging oil, you can check Firstcry Coupons.

Hair nourishment is important right from childhood so that your baby can get healthy dense hair when he or she grows up. A lot of hair nourishment products can be found at the marketplace. Parents buy hair oil products for nourishment, but along with it, you need to invest in baby hair protection shampoo as well. The hair nourishment shampoos keep the scalp clean and nourish the tender roots.

Skin Powder to Resist Skin Rashes from Sweating

In the hot and humid summer conditions, many babies acquire skin rashes. Reddish patches appear on their skin and these rashes are extremely annoying for babies. They are itchy at the beginning and gradually turns into burning sensation. To protect your baby’s skin from such annoying rashes, invest in baby powder. Baby powders help to reduce sweat from the pores of our skin’s upper layer. Reduced sweating lessens the chance of occurrence of skin rashes. However, overuse of powder is not recommended as blocking the skin pores is not good for the skin. Make sure your rinse baby’s skin well during the bath so that small particles of powder go away. Always keep the powder away from babies nose.

It prevents skin rashes and also gives vitamins to the upper layer of skin. You can buy nutrient enriched tea tree oil at a reasonable cost with Hopscotch Coupons.

Buying baby care products online and save your time. Buying online is hassling free experience. Most of the professional online stores promise the quickest possible delivery of the products with perfection.

8 Must Have Bra for every girl

by tinabasu September 22, 2017
written by tinabasu

Bra is one of those essentials that you cannot do without. It is a basic need of every woman. But can you really function with a single type of Bra? There are several kinds of bras available and sometimes it gets confusing which bra goes with which kind of outfit. Bras also differ with body type. If you end up getting a wrong size you will only end up sulking. Here I am listing down 5 must have bra that you must have in your wardrobe.

8 Must Have Bra for Every Girl

must have bra

#1 The T-shirt Bra

This is an everyday bra that you cannot miss out on. The T-shirt bra is seamless with no visible stitch lines. They go perfectly with your fitted tops and t-shirts. You can find various kinds of t-shirt bra with wire or with moulded cups which accentuates your bust line.

#2 The Sports Bra

Just like how you cannot skip your fitness regime you cannot afford to wear the wrong kind of bra during your workout sessions. Workout sessions – gym, yoga or pilates are all intense so you can’t skip support. No other bra other than the sports bra can give you this kind of coverage and support.

#3 The Strapless Bra

bra shopping guide

Every time you want to wear the tube dress or the strappy beach dress you must have thought, which bra can I wear! The strapless bra comes in help when you don’t want your straps showing. Shopping for strapless bra for girls with bigger bust lines can get tricky. Look out for the ones with high coverage cups and are underwired so that they stay in place. You can also look for strapless bras with plunge neckline for your cute dresses with a sweetheart neckline or a plunged neckline.

#4 The Backless Bra

backless bra

Wearing everything backless is the trend currently. From evening dresses to saree blouse backless is the ‘in’ thing. While girls with smaller bust sizes can absolutely rock the stick on bras, it’s a tad little tricky for the endowed girls. Opt for bras with transparent back straps with silicone front cups. They give you coverage as well as support.

#5 The Convertible Bra

You absolutely cannot miss this one in your lingerie wardrobe. The convertible bra has straps that are detachable and can be arranged to form different styles. You can make a regular looking bra a crossover or bring both the straps on the same shoulder for those cute looking one shoulder dresses or tops.

#6 The Push Up Bra

There is no substitute to the good old push-up bra for that little uplift. They enhance your bust line like no other bra and gives you a defined cleavage. If you want to add oomph to yourself in that favorite LBD, opt for a push bra.

#7 The Simple White Bra

These days you get bras in different prints and shapes but a white t-shirt bra is a savior for working girls who need to don the corporate look. A white bra or a nude bra is absolute essential in your wardrobe

#8 Bralettes

Bralettes are quite an in thing now and ever since Anushka Sharma danced away in one of her songs in it, girls can’t get enough of it. They are super comfy with wires or hooks and are a statement in itself.

Wasn’t this must have bra guide cute? While you get most of these bras at a store I prefer buying them online these days. There’s a lot of variety that you can find online. How many of these you already own? Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments section.

Top Benefits of Normal Delivery for the Mother

by tinabasu September 20, 2017
written by tinabasu

Are you expecting a Baby? Do you have doubts about the delivery options- whether to go for a normal delivery or a C- Section? Natural childbirth is a safe bet. Read about the benefits of normal delivery and how it helps you and your baby.
Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers

Pregnancy is the most amazing phase for a woman. The feeling of being a mom-to-be is something that one cannot explain. You await your baby eagerly and your only concern throughout those precious nine months is – the safety and well-being of your little one. Most pregnant women get worked up about their delivery in their second and third trimester. Thoughts of whether one is brave enough to have a normal delivery clouds one’s mind. Natural childbirth is best for the mother and the baby. Since centuries women have had natural deliveries. Normal delivery is easy – because it’s natural. It’s always better to be prepared in advance when you are a to-be-mom. Read about the 7 benefits of natural delivery over a C-Section.

Top 7 Benefits of Normal Delivery Over a C-Section

benefits of normal delivery for the mother

Baby is Fully Ready for Birth

Normal gestation cycle of a human baby is 240 days or 40 weeks. A baby is fully ready by the 38th-39th week of gestation. When labor starts naturally, it is an indication that the baby is ready for the birth process. Its heart and lungs are fully developed and are capable of surviving in the outside world.

Baby receives Helpful Bacteria

In a normal delivery, the baby passes through the birth canal where it receives the protective bacteria which settle in the intestines. These protective bacteria play a major role in building a healthy immune system of the baby.

Safer for Baby

Narcotic pain relief medication, or epidurals, can have an additional side effect on the baby by altering neurological behaviour and decreased ability to control body temperature. In a normal delivery, however, the baby is completely safe.

Less respiratory risk in baby

While passing through the birth canal, the baby’s thorax is compressed which releases the amniotic fluid from the lungs. This is essential for them to breathe properly once they are born. In the case of a natural child birth chances of a respiratory problem is less.

Instant skin contact and breastfeeding

After a normal delivery, the baby is handed over to the mother for the much necessary love and care. The baby gets the mothers warmth. There is no delay in initiating breastfeeding. A newborn’s urge to suckle is strongest in the first few hours. C-section under general or local anaesthesia can delay in the breast milk flow and baby cannot be nursed immediately.

Faster Recovery of the Mother

There’s no denying that normal delivery is painful for the mother, but never forget the benefits of normal delivery. Once the delivery is over, the body of the mother takes less time to come back to its normal self again while C section is a major abdominal surgery including multiple layers of internal stitching.

Shorter Hospital Stay

The mother can start walking within a few hours after normal delivery. The mother and baby can be discharged from the hospital as early as 24 hours after a normal delivery works out well economically. The cost of normal delivery is much lesser than a C section procedure.

benefits of normal delivery for the mother

These days there’s a steep rise in the number of caesarean births in India. Mostly they are carried out at the behest of expectant mothers wanting to avoid the process of normal delivery. But natural child birth is a normal physiological process and safest for the mother and the baby. Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research has been trying to reverse this practice of increased caesarean deliveries and get expectant mothers cognizant of the benefits of normal delivery. They have been working for the last 15+ years to bring down the additional cases of medical intervention during the child birth.

Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research in New Delhi, have a maternity program that is designed for comprehensive care for pregnant women and they help pregnant mothers and their families to make the safest choice for their pregnancies and deliveries. In 2016, their staff gynaecology unit achieved a cesarean rate of only 12% for first-birth low-risk moms who had a single baby in the head down position. This is possibly the lowest c section rate amongst private hospitals in Delhi.

One of the best ways to prepare mentally for a delivery is to attend antenatal classes where expectant mothers are educated on the journey of pregnancy. In the prenatal classes at Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research, moms-to-be can learn exercises and breathing techniques to cope during the labor.

Natural childbirth is normal and all healthy women with an uncomplicated pregnancy deserve to have one. For generations, have given birth naturally without medical interference. Women’s bodies are designed to give birth, and when you know the benefits of normal delivery you are in a better position to take the right decision.

What kind of delivery did you have? Share e your delivery experience with me in comments below.

Disclaimer- The hospital recommendation is based on my views after going through their program details. All decisions should be taken only after checking it with a professional.
