Share your expertise ------- Things necessary to note while losing weight

When one needs to lose weight, the first thing which strikes the mind is that the person needs to have a balanced diet and eat very less food. The main fact that one doesn't realize is that along with a proper diet and healthy diet, one needs to also exercise and make an effort to reduce weight and both dieting and exercise go hand in hand.

The first thing a person needs to do is Plan:

1. Make a diet chart or plan by either following a doctor's advise or one can choose their own diet plan.
2. The plan at the start should be prepared in such a way that it can be followed easily and there shouldn't be any kind of deviation from the original plan.
3. The food that needs to be consumed should be written well and the plan should be strictly followed.
4. The exercises that need to be followed should not be excess at the start and they should be asy ones to not put a lot of pressure on the body and muscles.
5. The routine of exercise should be strictly followed to avoid gaining weight and imbalance.
6. If there is any emergency or health issues, the plan should be planned at another date but not cancelled.

The next thing is The Food to Eat/Necessary Exercises:

1. The person needs to buy only those food items that he or she needs to eat and other food items (if purchased) should be avoided and that needs self control.
2. Eating diet food can be tough and so it is necessary that one maintains a plan wherein he/she can eat healthy food as well as the favorite food so that it becomes a balanced diet.
3. Oily food and fast food should be strictly avoided.
4. The exercises should be noted down and followed in a timely manner.
5. One should exercise before eating and sleeping to keep the body fit and the weight needs to be checked at regular intervals.

The third and most important fact is Plan Execution:

1. Once the plan is ready and the food to be eaten and exercises that are necessary are known, one should keep a balance between both and if one cannot follow the plan strictly, it is necessary to start the plan from the beginning as breaks aren't good.

2. It's better to keep another person too in charge of the food eaten and calories consumed so that the process can be easier and not hectic.

Share your expertise ------ Tips on saving money


There are few things which we do in our daily life and think that we are managing our daily expenses well but instead we over spend and this hampers our budget and financial status as well. The few methods of saving money and managing the household budget are listed below and they can really help in not only managing our budget but also we can get how and where we can use the money to increase our income and use it in a useful manner. Few of the methods in which one can manage their budget and minimize our expenses are listed below:

1. For managing the grocery expenses, we can should buy all foodstuffs like Atta, Rice, Oil in bulk so that it lasts for at least two to three months as we get a discount rate for buying and the grocery stores also offers like buy 2 KGs and get 1 KG free. These offers can be availed and we will spend almost 30% less than the normal amount we spend for our grocery expenses.
2. Changing the brands which are popular and expensive and instead purchasing products of brands which are reliable and are reasonably priced as well.
3. Paying for our bills like Dish TV or internet bills for 6 months or 1 year as every ISP or DTH service provider offers a discount or a 1 month free dish connection/ internet connection for paying for the advance payment.
4. Using CFC bulbs save a lot of electricity and this change will be reflected in the monthly electric bill as well.
5. Using mobile recharge plans like pay Rs. 60 and get lower calling rates or ISD rates and even there are full recharge/talktime plans or additional benefits. Paytm and Mobiwik are few websites which offer cashback on mobile recharges and bill payments as well
6. Making use of public transport instead of taxis and rickshaws helps us in saving money and walking to nearby areas can help to reduce our cost/expense.
7. Avoiding the consumption of junk or fast food and going to cinemas often. Instead, it is better to subscribe to movie channels on your Dish TV by paying Rs. 50 per movie. It helps to save the expense of paying Rs. 200-300 for each ticket and the family can enjoy movies at home itself while outings can be 2-3 times in a month.
8. Switching off the charger of phones when the mobile is completely charged, offing lights and fans when nobody is present in the room are other ways which we sometimes miss out.

I read the article "Celebrate the Moms in Your Life" on the rewardme.in website (Celebrate the moms in your life). It's really a touching article and the tips mentioned in the article are really helpful and it can bring a smile on any mother's face to see a get together and it gives a mother the sense of happiness and affection.

The term "Mother" has so many meanings as a mother does so many things for her child and does not have any expectations in return as she does things for her child selflessly. There are many working mothers do who manage to complete their household responsibilities and manage the house and office work together and she does a perfect job. Mother's Day is just one day when the children get to express their love for their mother and making this a special day for them is one thing which every child needs to know in order to thank his or her mother for their unconditional love and make them feel special and wanted.

The plan of making hand made cards and inviting few special people and celebrate this day in a simple way is the best thing one can do to make their mother feel special. This day should be more special than a birthday or any normal anniversary or other function as Mother's day is to bring together the family to tell the mothers that their work is being appreciated and loved and there is no better way of making them feel loved. Every day is a mother's day and we should often plan such get togethers and spend time with our mothers throughout the year.


When we plan to have a get together, sending out hand made invitations makes it feel more special and touching as this day is expressing our love for our mothers. The menu too should mainly consist of items out mother's like and want to have and since they keep making dishes for us every day, we should also try and make dishes which they like and should make them at home and not order the food from the restaurant. To add to the menu items, few of my additions would be to make each dish special is to add some notes to the items to make the dishes more meaningful and fun to eat. It would add to the feeling and day and make our mothers remember the days when she used to feed us with the dish and how we felt while having them but may be we dint get a way to thank her for the effort and love.

I read the article "9 Ways To Keep Your Skin Oil-Free This Summer" on the rewardme.in website (How to keep your skin oil free this summer). The article was really interesting to read and there were many methods on how to avoid pimples on the face and make the skin feel hydrated and soft. Since I have many oily skin and am worried about the small breakouts on my face, I found this article an interesting read.

I have tried many products to have a clear and soft skin and avoid pimple marks but I have always failed when it comes to my oily skin. It being sensitive makes it prone to redness and pimples and this article has mentioned many natural ways of getting rid of pimples like the method of washing the skin is mentioned very well. It is very necessary to know how to wash the face as I realized that just splashing water on the face or using tissues to wipe of the excessive oil won't help me in getting rid of my pimples and make my skin clear but I need to even take precautions and gently massage my skin while washing it.

The article also mentions how to use home based scrubs can be used to clean the face and reduce the oil on the face. The home based scrub will help to moisturize the skin and it would be more useful than using any ready made scrubs or buying these scrubs from stores as they contain chemicals as well which can harm the skin. Also it mentions that the scrubs should not be used quite often as they make the skin too dry.


The food items mentioned in this article help in providing vitamins to the body which are not only necessary but they also help oily skin which is the major concern for me. I have now bought a lot of carrots and have made sure to include spinach in my regular diet to reduce the oil in my skin. I will also limit eating spicy food a lot and make it once a week as I am quite addicted to having spicy food regularly but since it is not good for the skin, I will try to avoid it.



The article has mentioned about fruit facials and hence I tried it at home and I can see a significant change in my skin texture and it has really worked in reducing the oil on my face. This article has given very useful tips to avoid pimples and I will try all the steps given in this article.

SmellytoSmiley contest Post 2

When I talk about the home being odor free and when I think about this concept, the main thing that strikes my mind is the smell and odor of food which sometimes is very pleasing while other times it is not so pleasing and it becomes an issue when the smoke is filled in the entire room while cooking good.


I remember times when my mom starts cooking food and especially spicy vegetables or when she starts cutting onions in the main hall, the entire room starts smelling of those spices and I immediately start coughing and tears start rolling down my cheeks due to the odor. The smell sometimes gets so aweful that I need to stand in the balcony and breath fresh air. I dislike being in the house when my mother fries chillies, the entire room gets filled with smoke and I immediately start coughing to an extent that it gets difficult to even breathe and the smell makes me feel dizzy. It gets tough to avoid this smell but the food needs to be cooked and when guests visit our home, I try to distract them so that they do not concentrate on the smell and the food being cooked inside. My mom does not close the kitchen door as she feels suffocated if she does so and hence she opens the window to make the smoke and smell a bit less but such situations often arise when food is being cooked.

One more instance was when my mom tried to warm a dish she had kept in the refrigerator as it was a dish she had stored since the previous day and when she started warming it, it started stinking a lot and the entire room started sinking as the smell spread all over and I felt like puking due to the strong smell. She had to discard the vegetable but the smell still remained in the room and the only option was to spray perfume in the entire room to make the atmosphere pleasant else I had to only leave the room so that the smell vanishes. Food smells a lot and especially when we make non vegetarian dishes, the smell does not reduce and while cooking it, the odor spreads in the entire room and makes it suffocating.

To make the house odor free and make it smell pleasant, we only spray perfume or use an air freshener but it gets tough to do so everytime as I have an allergy towards fragrances and I need to find a better option t keep the room smell pleasant.

Bad odor in a house is tough to handle at times and when it is the rainy season where the entire house starts smelling due to the dust and clothes too don't get dried outside and hence we need to get them dried inside the house. Due to the moisture and heat, these clothes don't get dried easily and they even start smelling due to the sweat and atmosphere.

One such incident happened recently when the room started stinking and smelling due to the damp clothes. My mother had dried her clothes in the bedroom and they were stinking so badly that she had to rewash the clothes again due to the dampness and I advised her to leave the clothes as it is and instead we will use perfume to remove the bad odor of the clothes.

It gets embarrasing at times when the guests need to visit the washroom and wven when the clothes drying in the washroom are taken off, the smell does continue to remain inspite of using air freshners or spraying perfumes and the guests do not appreciate this fact and leave our house with a disappointment. This makes our mood as well bad as we do everything to make our guests feel comfortable while the smell and bad odor due to the dampness ruins all our plans and makes the place stink badly.

Even at nights, we get the bad odor of the dresses and shirts kept for drying and the smell is very unpleasant. We also had instances where people did advise us to make our room smell fresh and how to remove the bad odor of the we clothes but it did not help and this fact made it tough for us to entertain guests when the room is smelling bad. If we have any surprise guests, the issue gets worse as we need to remove all the clothes and even make sure the room does not have any unpleasant odor and smells pleasant.


Wet clothes are a problem for us and its unpleasing odor does not only cause problems for us within the house ut also creates an issue when we wear then after they dry. It is tough to spray anything on the wet clothes and drying them in a separate room is the only solution we have found and it works as well. This prevents the smell from affecting our guests and we also take care of the smell after the clothes get dried.

Energize your life with a maxfreshmove 2

When I think about the artists Allu Arjun and Anushka Manchanda performing together, the place that strikes me immediately is an air plane where people spend hours of their valuable time. An air plane is a place where a person spends most of his time travelling and his journey may last for 1 hour or it can extend to even 12 hours and it gets too stressful and exhausted to travel in an air plane and spend hours of our time just reading books, surfing the internet or watching any TV show during our travel. this journey can be exciting if we have artists perform live in the air plane and entertain us and make our journey memorable. The two stars Allu Arjun and Anushka Manchanda and very down to earth and are lively at heart which makes them great performers and they can easily connect and interact with the audience while they perform. Both the artists are great dancers as well.

The moment the flight takes off, Anushka will create a scene and pretend to get scared quoting this is her first flight travel and she would start panicking. The passengers would get worried and then Allu would sit besides her and try to comfort her. He would say "From Chandni Chowk to China" and Anushka would look at him in a surprise and she would sing the next line "Jaane kaun hu samajh aayena". Allu will get up and grab hold of Anushka's hand and sing the next few lines of the song and try to entertain the passengers of the air plane. The passengers would cheer for them as they would occupy the entire passage and dance and sing the song. They would be accompanied by other dancers who would be posing as passengers. The dancers too would jump and dance for the songs and make the passengers enjoy their journey. The passenger would be overjoyed by their performance and they too would shake a leg on the dance floor and try to cope up with the dancers and the artists. Anuska and Allu would make them feel comfortable while dancing and they would hold the hands of the passengers and join their moves.


The last song chosen by Anushka Manchanda and Allu Arjun would be Allah Duhai Hai from the movie Race and this would bring other passengers too join them. Allu would be the main dancer leading the other dancers and he would borrow a guitar and make the song feel lively and rocking. The two would make the audience dance and have a blast during their journey.


This journey would be the best way to promote the artists and also it would promote the airlines and the audience would feel more energized and would recommend the airlines to their friends. Overall, it would be the best experience and concert ever seen.

Energize your life with a maxfreshmove 1

Allu Arjun has been a famous actor of the Tamil Industry and he is best known for his marvellous dancing style and he is very light on his feet. Anushka Manchanda is a singer best known for her song "Dum Maro Dum". When I start imagining Allu dancing to the music of this song, the feeling only makes me start dancing and singing. To think about the atmosphere where I would love to see Anushka and Allu perform, I can only imagine a huge cruise ship where the two perform live and entertain the audience.

Anushka would perform on the dance number Tu Saala Kaam Se Gaya and would make the audience more energetic watching her perform live on stage and she would approach each table and point towards the males so that they join her on stage and start performing with her. Allu who would be sitting among the audience would get up and start singing the male version of the song. The people from the audience would feel like a live party going on and would be attracted to join the two artists on stage.

Anushka then would ask a male from the audience to sing a duet with her and the song chosen would be Ek Main Hoon Aur Ek Tu and Allu on the other hand would choose a female to join him in the dance. The four would rock the stage with their performance and this would create a lively environment for all the guests visiting or having fun on the cruise. Allu too would try to sing few words in his style and make his partner too sing the female version of the song. The two artists would try to occupy the whole floor and make each and every cruise member and guests present there to get up and join them in their dance and they would make them too sing few words of this song.



Allu would then choose to dance on his hit song from the movie Iddarammayilatho 'Lechipoddi' and Anushka would start singing it along with him to make the audience dance on the floor and have a blast. The DJ would mix all the songs and Anushka and Allu would make the most out of it and leave a never forgettable moments for the audience and the cruise ship members. At the end of the party, the artists would leave a memory at the cruise ship and give each member present there an autograph and a gift to make them remember and cherish these moments.
