Positive Vibes

Every time I say I am coming back to blogging; for some reason I fall back in to a busy lifestyle and forget how much I enjoy this.

Today's "come back" post is slightly different; its one filled with positivity and motivation that I have mustered up from the back of a dreadful couple of weeks and have finally seen a light at the end of the tunnel and although the battle has not been won yet, I know it will be soon and I am eternally blessed to have finally reached this stage of thinking. I now know that I have to think positively for when this (shit) storm finally passes, there will be so much to look forward to.

In the past year I have spent far too much time focusing on finding happiness from someone else I forgot how much things that I do for myself make me happy. I have learnt in the past few weeks that I am blessed beyond words to have an amazing support system with fantastic friends and family that have made me smile, laugh and forget what was bringing me down recently. I am truly thankful to all of my amazing friends  FAMILY for getting me through this...you are my TRIBE!

So as not to dwell too much on what has been happening but just to put a positive vibe to all reading my blog that whatever you are going through it really seems hard right now but surround yourself with good vibes and positive company and you will see you can get though it.

And so on that note I leave you with this...

Making it Count

Hi!! First of all apologies for being away for so long. It's been a busy and interesting 2014 and I wasn't able to give the time I wanted to to my blog. But Happy New Year; it's 2015 and things are about to change! And as you can see I have had a re-vamp on my blog and a name change. If you know me you know that Ahalya Beauty just seemed more appropriate. 

For those that follow me on Instagram know I am still 100% a beauty addict and still have so much to share with you. 

I am a sucker for the New Year New Me cliche and as I am turning the big 30 in 2016 I needed some inspiration to get in the positive thinking and motivation to make this year count. 

I turned to a much recommended book that I'm sure you have heard of "The Secret" By Rohnda Byrne.

I'm starting this today and can't wait to soak in the positive vibes and working towards a better me!!

The Reward of a Rant!!!

Ok so I have some awesomely amazing people in my life...yup I am surrounded by amazingness- FACT!! Why do I say this...read on...

So when I got home from a pretty miserable day at work with a sprained wrist; when the doorbell rang and the UPS man said "PINDORIA"? I was like SURE!!! This wasn't for me I don't recall ordering anything but there in the box I saw my name...then my eyes fell on the name in the corner "Ohm Patel" - INSTANT response?? NO WAY SHE IS CRAZY!!! Yep my fabulous cousin had sent something from the USA...and this was what was in it...

This was just such an amazing surprise and it derived from me having a little rant on my Get those Baby Lips post a few days ago. I was ranting on about the fact that the USA always got the better cosmetics than the UK especially when they are manufactured in France (if someone would like to shed some light on why this is it would be much appreciated) !!! 

This particular product; the Maybelline Baby Lips in Grapevine is not available in the UK, and my cousin is so kind and sympathises with us Britons she sent me this along with my brother-in laws contributions of Sour Patch Kids (YUMMM)!!

I was so excited to try this; it has the most amazing Grape smell (tastes good as well). It does not have any SPF however is actually A LOT more moisturising than any of the other ones I have purchased in the UK. I'm going to give this the day test tomorrow...but I am beginning to think they are slightly different in the formula and here is my theory; they must change something in the UK versions in order for them to be sold here because I could instantly tell the difference in the feel of it on my lips. I could be totally wrong and just in the mind frame that everything from America is amazing!! 

I have swatched the product on my hand; and although quite a strong colour in the actual bullet it has no real prominent tint on the skin or lips like Pink Punch or Cherry Me. It comes up nude on my lips however leaves a subtle glossy look. I don't know if you can see it but it has been swatched just under the tag "grapevine".

As for the Sour Patch Kids...my nephew Dev and I have already nom nom'd into one packet...and will soon be on the next I am sure!!! (Thanks Ohm) 

I am still smiling so much from the love I have received from across the ocean...and would like to say a huge thank you to Hina & Ohm for this...this post is dedicated to my lil munchkin Sakshi who I can not wait to see in a few months...Thank you again...much love & hugs to you guys x o x o
