Clean Green, under the Sun Sheen!!


And as the Swedish proverb says, “A life without love is like a year without summer” – Don’t you all agree with me… Summer is fun; summer is freedom; summer to me is Sunshine, Hope, Happiness and Adventure time J


We (The great human race) have collectively polluted our environment and atmosphere and have torn the sun ban happiness layer (The Ozone) and to cap it all we have successfully put the blame on our dear Sun, of course for all the bad reasons (the UVA/B sans PA+++)!!!

Thanks to Lakme, for introducing us to the world of Sun Expert and Kyra, the sunshine girl.

With Kyra and my sun expert range I am sure this is going to be my best summer ever J

Oh! But wait… don’t you guys want to know our “Fun Sun” plan for this summer… hop on to our “Fun Sun” train – join me and Kyra in this wonderful, exciting summer journey J

If you wish to join us - follow the summer rules J

Our summer dress code – cotton/linen Skirts, shorts, tees and bikinis (yeyyy!!) anything that’s comfortable
Our summer accessories – Hat, slippers and sunglasses J



Our summer drink – lots and lots of H20 for happy hydration J
Our summer color theme – Bright and Floral, especially peach, coral, orange and Neons J
Our summer Motto – Fun under the Sun J
Our Journey focus – Clean and Green under the Sun Sheen J

I have hit the beach many times for mere pleasure and fun, this time with Kyra I want to make my beach time most memorable and joyful. Yes, with Kyra and Lakme’s sun expert protection this would be my attempt to raise environmental awareness!! Yes, we are going to clean the beach and trust me, this is going to be more fun and exciting than ever before J



Being from Chennai, with a beach that is spread along the Bay of Bengal, which also happens to be our country’s longest and World’s second longest urban beach – keeping it clean and green is fun, my pride and my duty! J

Before heading, let’s quickly apply 2 tsp of Lakme’s SPF 50 and PA+++ UV lotion. This would protect our skin against the harmful UVA and UVB rays and would prevent the sun burn and skin damage – its cucumber and lemon grass would nourish and soothe our skin leaving it radiant and glowing all day!! J

Ok… All set… let’s start cleaning J

After 3 hours…

OMG!! look at this stuff, all that we collected in the past 3 hours - Bags and bags of plastics, rubber tubes, water bottles, cigarette buds, other countess random stuffs - our right time pickups, which otherwise would have turned out to be an environment disaster!! Thank God and Kyra, the coastal cleaning was fun J



Also picking up the trash – the non degradable garbage (plastic, rubber etc) deeply buried in the sand in fact helped us in burning lots of calories  J



We also interacted with the local fishermen and requested them to avoid using fishing gears and other mechanical techniques which would harm the rare under the sea species like turtles! Another life saving social mission with Kyra! J




It was twilight, when we finally ended our day with a fun boat ride (courtesy – fisher men) watching the sea water sparkle with the brilliant sun rays!

Loved every bit of my journey, Kyra’s company, all day coastal cleaning, Turtle saving lecture to fisher men and a million dollar worth (free!!) boat ride J Life is beautiful and so is summer !!



We finally sat on the shore with a happy heart and joyful smile – the Sun shined on us saying “Wherever you go, no matter what the weather be, always bring your own sunshine!”

My Sunglasses, My Style!



Everyone loves Sunglasses, and being from a "ever sunny" place like Chennai, Sunglasses have become a part of my life!


I travel a lot everyday and sunglasses not only helps me sport a fashionable look but also saves my eyes from all the UV's, dirts and pollutants :) 


I use my sunglasses for multiple reasons other than the primary ones stated above :) 


Some of my "ohh-so-great" reasons are, 

  • To save my eye makeup, yes I am a typical girl and I love not to spoil my eye makeup with all my hours together travel!
  • For safe sightseeing (ahem ahem..) guess everyone understood what I mean :)
  • For my flying hair as a hairband :) 
  • As a mirror - I know dont laugh, everyone does that :)

So GKB optical is a great place for buying sunglasses, Eyeglasses and Contact lenses at a great price. They have a wide range of collections to choose from, be it Raybon, Prada, D&G or Vougue - you name it and you will find it here :)


They have this wonderful user friendly website with "Try on" feature, which helps one to choose the right glass according to their face shape and choice :)


So my favorite 2 out of the lot are,


RODENSTOCK R 3176 D




Loved the blue frame and I would sport this with a neat black and blue look


Hairstyle - High hair bun
Attire - A black turtleneck top and a faded blue levi's
Accessories - A floral scarf around my neck - preferably with a parisian scarf knot and a big black hobo bag
Shoes - black suede ankle boots

So my final look would be something like Kate Bekinsale's but just that I would sport it with a black and blue color combo and a floral scarf instead of plain black :)



My Next choice is 

PRADA SPR 29L GDX-6S1



Loved the detailing on the glasses, very classy and girly! this will go well with a skirt and hippie style :)


Hairstyle - open hair with a messy knot tied up behind
Attire - A funky lacy, frill white tank top with a nice flowing long skirt with bold block pattern 
Accessories - A nice floral long string bag, loads of bangles and a statement ring in one hand, no neck or ear accessories!
Shoes - a nice kolhapuri sandals

So my final look would be something like Vanessa Hudgens's :)


Hope you all liked my look and do not forget to check out GKB optical for more :)

Take care and Thanks for reading :)
