We all love a pretty dupatta but often, after you&rsquo;ve worn a lehenga or salwar suit one too many times, the&nbsp;outfit&rsquo;s dupatta gets dumped into a dark corner of your wardrobe. Sometimes you&rsquo;re bored of the outfit, other times you just&nbsp;don&rsquo;t want to repeat the same look. But did you know that a great dupatta can save you from all these problems?&nbsp;Yes, a nice dupatta can take our same old outfit from drab to fab&nbsp;in a matter of seconds.&nbsp;
Let&rsquo;s take a look at some cool and quirky styles of dupattas that you must keep in your wardrobe and how they can help you step up your style game.&nbsp;
1. Live Royally With&nbsp;Lucknawi&nbsp;Chikankari&nbsp;
Chikankari&nbsp;work is a royal handwork technique that not only looks good in suits and sarees but also makes for elegant dupattas. This fine but beautiful handwork gives a royal touch to any outfit&nbsp;and will help you look polished and put together.&nbsp;
2. Play With Colours of&nbsp;Bandhani&nbsp;&nbsp;
You must have seen suits and saris with&nbsp;Bandhani&nbsp;print but it is not necessary to wear&nbsp;bandhani&nbsp;work in just these two ways.&nbsp;Keep&nbsp;a colourful&nbsp;bandhani&nbsp;tie&nbsp;and dye dupatta&nbsp;in&nbsp;your wardrobe&nbsp;to add a burst of colour to any plain Jane&nbsp;look.&nbsp;&nbsp;
3. Have Fun&nbsp;With&nbsp;Phulkari&nbsp;
One of the most beautiful hand embroideries from India, phulkari features floral geometric patterns&nbsp;woven&nbsp;with satin threads.&nbsp;Phulkari dupattas are integral to Punjabi suits, but you can pair them with any kind of suit or kurta. They also look cool with solid T-shirts and denim.&nbsp;
4. Unleash Your Kalamkari Artist&nbsp;
Featuring Indian and Persian artworks, Kalamkari dupattas come in both block and hand-printed forms. They look perfect with both Indian and Western outfits. Pair a statement&nbsp;Kalamari&nbsp;dupatta with&nbsp;a plain kurta and keep it minimal but elegant.&nbsp;&nbsp;
5. Banarasi&nbsp;Brocades Never Disappoint&nbsp;
You don&rsquo;t always have to reserve beautiful&nbsp;banarasi&nbsp;brocades for heavy sarees or lehengas. A&nbsp;Banarasi&nbsp;silk dupatta can make a simple outfit&nbsp;look more expensive.&nbsp;Contrast your&nbsp;Banarasi&nbsp;scarf with&nbsp;a colourful&nbsp;suit or lehenga&nbsp;to create a unique&nbsp;festive look&nbsp;on a budget.&nbsp;
With so many dupattas, it will be hard to run&nbsp;into another one of your&nbsp;fashion emergencies&nbsp;any time soon!&nbsp;&nbsp;

We have&nbsp;all heard of the term Lactose intolerance, it happens when a person's body is not able to digest milk products. For those who are not aware, Lactose is a sugar found only in milk. It is also present in other dairy products, including cheese and ice cream.
If a person is lactose intolerant, their digestive system produces too little of an enzyme known as lactase, which is required to break down lactose. People with lactose intolerance experience symptoms like bloating, nausea and diarrhoea&nbsp;after consuming dairy products.
In this condition, non-dairy milk is the best option for you. If you're planning to add the same to your diet, these are some of the healthiest substitutes you can go for.
1. Almond Milk
Almond milk is a good alternative for dairy products. It is a low-calorie, highly nutritious milk. Almond Milk is also a great choice if you are trying to lose weight.
2. Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is also loaded with several benefits. It supports weight loss as well as improves metabolism. Solid coconut flesh is mixed with water to prepare coconut milk.
3. Soy Milk
Soy milk is another popular alternative to animal-based milk. It is rich in protein naturally and one should try sugar-free soy milk for better protein intake.
4. Oat Milk
Oat milk is simply prepared by mixing oats with water. It is good for your heart health as it helps in controlling bad cholesterol. It has a slightly sweet taste with a creamy and smooth texture
5. Rice Milk
Rice milk has a mild sweet taste. It is a good alternative for those who are lactose intolerant. It contains more carbs as compared to other non-dairy milk.
While there is no cure for lactose intolerance, people can avoid the repercussions&nbsp;by not consuming milk products or by taking lactase enzymes.

Covid-19 Diet: Staying adequately hydrated before and after getting your vaccine is very important. So, drink plenty of fluids!

If you&rsquo;re eligible to get a jab of the<a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank"> Covid-19 vaccine</a>, go and get it but bear these&nbsp;health tips in mind to reduces your chances of facing&nbsp;any side effects.&nbsp;
Staying&nbsp;adequately hydrated before and after getting&nbsp;your&nbsp;vaccine is&nbsp;very important.&nbsp;So, drink plenty of fluids!&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, fluids&nbsp;do&nbsp;not include alcohol. You should strictly avoid alcohol as it can weaken your natural immunity and make it hard for the vaccine to do its job.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In terms of eating, there are no strict rules.&nbsp;But you must not fast&nbsp;or try drastic diets&nbsp;before the vaccine so&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;don&rsquo;t go to the vaccine centre on an empty stomach.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Stick to a regular, home-cooked balanced meal.&nbsp;Avoid eating processed&nbsp;or sugary&nbsp;foods&nbsp;as they put your body under a lot of unnecessary strain.&nbsp;Apart from a healthy diet, make sure you get a good night&rsquo;s rest before the shot&nbsp;day.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When it comes to post-vaccine care, the same rules apply.
Try to plan ahead and eat foods that are easy to digest. If you&rsquo;re facing post-vaccine side-effects like nausea, fever, headache or tiredness, don&rsquo;t stress about it. Eat like you would during a common flu episode.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you live alone, it might be a good idea to do some post-vaccine grocery shopping, in case you don&rsquo;t feel great enough to step out.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Body piercings are not new to us, people have been getting pierced for centuries now. However fancy and cool this trend might seem, it definitely needs some great after care.
Piercing&nbsp;aftercare is important because pierced skin is extremely susceptible to infections which can lead to a lot of skin problems.&nbsp;
After the piercing is done make sure you keep the pierced area clean. Wash that area with soap and water or saline solution twice a day. Apply a small layer of petroleum jelly or Vitamin E oil as it will protect the pierced area from bacteria.
The healing process is very delicate and can take months. So make sure you don&rsquo;t dress up in something that would hurt your piercing by tugging on it. To prevent the piercing from closing, rotate the earrings gently while the skin is still wet.
Piercings are a very common practice but you still need to take good and consistent care of them to make sure you avoid infection, tissue damage, or losing the piercing altogether.
Be gentle with your piercings&nbsp;and&nbsp;enjoy your new fashion statement!

You finally got inked! But now you need to take care of your tattoo so that you don't end up getting a skin infection. Tattoo aftercare can be confusing, especially if it's your first one. These instructions will help you take care of your new tattoo with absolute ease.
The first thing you need to get after getting inked is a bandage or a plastic wrap which should ideally stay for a few hours. The covering protects the open skin from bacteria, sunlight, and from rubbing against clothing.
After removing the bandage make sure you wash the tattoo with antimicrobial soap and apply a layer of antibacterial or vaseline ointment twice a day.
Gently wash your tattoo twice a day with soap and water and pat dry before reapplying the ointment. Repeat this process for 2 to 4 weeks. Avoid hot showers and wear sunscreen during the day so that your tattoo doesn't fade.
Proper aftercare in the first few weeks after getting a tattoo can help prevent infection and keep the tattoo looking vibrant for life.&nbsp;

Whether you need a cute new workout outfit or just some comfortable sweatpants at home, young homegrown Indian labels have got you covered.&nbsp;The&nbsp;rise in&nbsp;demand for clothes that are both fashionable and comfortable&nbsp;has increased by manifold in the last few years giving birth to a hybrid term called athleisure.&nbsp;
The Indian fashion industry is definitely not sleeping on the trend. Going beyond the norm,&nbsp;some brands are taking an eco-conscious and ethical approach to produce their clothes.&nbsp;&nbsp;
From organic to fair trade cotton, here&nbsp;is&nbsp;the lowdown on&nbsp;X&nbsp;desi brands&nbsp;that&nbsp;are&nbsp;doing athleisure with a sustainable touch.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PROYOG&nbsp;
Designed with yoga practitioners&nbsp;in mind,&nbsp;Proyog&nbsp;places sustainability and performance&nbsp;as its prime&nbsp;proposition. From&nbsp;dhoti-shorts, wrap tops to infinity scarves with built-in pockets, the brand&nbsp;puts extensive research into their products, all of which are made from their trademark core-spun organic&nbsp;cotton.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
DEIVEE&nbsp;
The brainchild of model and fitness promoter&nbsp;Milind&nbsp;Soman,&nbsp;Deivee&nbsp;is designed with Indian sensibilities and&nbsp;body types in mind.&nbsp;Apart from yoga gear, the brand makes&nbsp;performance&nbsp;kurtis, harem pants and more. All of their products are made from eco-friendly&nbsp;materials like organic cotton, banana fibre, wild grass, coconuts and recycled polyester.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The brand launched with a collection of&nbsp;gender-neutral&nbsp;loungewear in solid&nbsp;colours. All the pieces are made from 100% organic cotton.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While the likes of Nike, Adidas and even H&amp;M have also hopped on the sustainable fashion movement, nothing beats the joy of supporting the local brands and being a part of their success!

Wallace admitted during a CNN&nbsp;interview that 'anger' was his first reaction. However, he had a change of heart later. He extended his generous arms and in a&nbsp;Facebook&nbsp;post offered a job to the burglar.

To&nbsp;say that checks are&nbsp;the season&rsquo;s hottest trend would be like saying florals are perfect for spring but bear with us.&nbsp;There&rsquo;s a particular style of check that is attracting&nbsp;all the eyeballs this summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
From international runways to the trendiest celebrities, everyone is sporting the clean checkerboard pattern. While the print itself is nothing new,&nbsp;having been a mainstay for Vans shoes for ages, it has definitely been getting a lot more love recently.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Maybe the check or chessboard print is winning from the newfound virality of the game of chess, thanks to shows like Netflix&rsquo;s The Queen Gambit or maybe some nostalgia for the &lsquo;70s.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Whatever the cause, the&nbsp;checkered&nbsp;print is being spotted on everything from interiors and upholstery to fashionable bags and earrings. &nbsp;
If you want to give this trend a try in all its glory, you can wear checkered&nbsp;trouser&nbsp;with a plain black or white t-shirt. The print also&nbsp;adds a&nbsp;refreshing&nbsp;touch to&nbsp;swimsuits for a chic&nbsp;but&nbsp;summer-ready look.&nbsp;You can even buy some chessboard cushions or a cute check makeup bag to hop on this trend.

With the onset of summer, it is essential to include summer-friendly foods in one&rsquo;s diet. One such superfood that works best for dry weather is sabja seeds or sweet basil seeds.&nbsp;
Sabja seeds act as a natural body coolant. They are known to reduce body heat and have a soothing effect on the stomach. They are extremely rich in fibre and when added to one's diet can help&nbsp;relieve constipation and acidity.
Sabja seeds have a calming effect on the body as well as the mind, so consequently they help in relieving&nbsp;stress, tension and anxiety. These tiny seeds have anti-viral and anti-fungal properties and can be used as a mouth freshener in times of need.
You can consume sabja seeds by adding them to a variety of drinks like lemonade, coconut water, milkshakes or&nbsp;smoothies. You can even&nbsp;add them to a glass of water with a pinch of salt and some sugar and you'll be good to go!

Diet For Kids: there are some seemingly simple food groups that could prove to be dangerous for young children.

The first few years of a baby&rsquo;s life are crucial to the development of their immune systems.&nbsp;In particular, the first 5 years of life are pivotal in shaping one&rsquo;s immunity and this is why it is all the more important to provide the right kind of nutrition from a young age.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While it is important to introduce new flavours and textures to your little one&rsquo;s tongue, there are some seemingly simple food groups that could prove to be dangerous for young children.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2>Salt</h2>
First up on our list is salt! Babies don&rsquo;t need to consume much salt and&nbsp;their kidneys are just not ready for it.&nbsp;The NHS UK advises that if you&rsquo;re feeding your baby the same food that you eat then avoid bacon, crackers,&nbsp;chips and&nbsp;packaged or ready to eat meals.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2>Sugar&nbsp;</h2>
Sugar is another food group that little ones don't really need.&nbsp;So,&nbsp;avoid sugary&nbsp;snacks,&nbsp;drinks&nbsp;and treats.&nbsp;Studies show that eating&nbsp;super sweet&nbsp;foods throughout&nbsp;childhood, especially before the age of two,&nbsp;can lead to preventable diseases, such as&nbsp;heart disease,&nbsp;obesity&nbsp;and high blood pressure&nbsp;later on in life.&nbsp;
<h2>Honey&nbsp;</h2>
You should also avoid giving any form of honey to the baby until the age of one.&nbsp;Occasionally, honey may contain certain bacteria&nbsp;that can secrete toxins into the baby&rsquo;s intestines and cause infant botulism.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2>Citrus fruits</h2>
Citrus fruits&nbsp;are&nbsp;another food group that is best avoided. These tangy fruits and juices are loaded with vitamin C and are acidic in nature.&nbsp;These may cause acid reflux and stomach troubles in babies younger than two months.
<h2>Nuts and Seeds</h2>
When it comes to nuts and seeds, everyone agrees that they can be a choking hazard and should be strictly avoided until the age of five. But nut butters are where things get interesting. Studies have&nbsp;shown that introducing a tiny amount of peanut butter in your kid&rsquo;s diet may&nbsp;help&nbsp;prevent peanut allergies.
While the science is clear on most of these facts, it is best to consult your doctor before making sudden changes in your baby&rsquo;s diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Most of us know that unhealthy snacking late at night can lead to bloating and other health problems. Now, researchers have found that the practice can hamper your performance at work as well!&nbsp;
A study by US scientists shows that late-night binging can make a person less helpful and more withdrawn at work the very next day.&nbsp;
"For the first time, we have shown that healthy eating immediately affects our workplace behaviours and performance," the lead author of the study exclaims.&nbsp;
For the study, unhealthy eating was defined as indulging in junk foods, drinking alcohol late at night or overeating close to bedtime. Interestingly,&nbsp;when people reported unhealthy eating, they were also more likely to report emotional strains the next morning - such as feeling guilty or ashamed about their diet choices.
While their study focused on only evening diets, the researchers say it would be intriguing to study how other elements of diet such as sugar or caffeine, will impact productivity at work.&nbsp;

Indian cuisine goes heavy on local spices and&nbsp;our dishes are not just tasty but also loaded with many health benefits. Indian spices attract global trade and for good reason.&nbsp;Spices, in particular, have piqued the curiosity of many international and local researchers as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here are five such spices that scientists suggest may help you achieve your weight loss goals.&nbsp;&nbsp;
TURMERIC
A bright, yellow spice, turmeric is&nbsp;known&nbsp;for its antiseptic and medicinal properties. According to various studies, the&nbsp;curcumin&nbsp;in turmeric has been shown to&nbsp;boost fat loss, increase body heat and boost metabolism.
CINNAMON
Known as the holiday spice, a little bit of cinnamon can go a long way. Research shows that cinnamon may help balance sugar, reduce hunger pangs and keep you full for longer.&nbsp;Add cinnamon to your spice rub and sprinkle a little over your coffee to reap its benefits.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FENNEL SEEDS
A natural diuretic, fennel seeds are also great for people trying to lose weight. Chewing on some&nbsp;fennel seeds after your meal can help keep your digestive health in check.&nbsp;
CAYENNE PEPPER&nbsp;&nbsp;
The hot and spicy Cayenne pepper is rich in capsaicin. The chemical is known to&nbsp;have fat-burning properties and some studies also show that it may lower bad cholesterol levels.&nbsp;
CUMIN
Cumin is a staple in many Indian curries. A 2015 study found that just one&nbsp;spoon of cumin powder helped&nbsp;burn up to three times more body fat amongst a group of overweight women.&nbsp;The spice is also rich in natural antioxidants and has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While there is no quick-fix solution for weight loss, incorporating these spices in your diet will definitely help you on your fitness journey.

After recording one of the hottest March in many years, reports say that we&rsquo;re&nbsp;looking at possibly&nbsp;one of the warmest summer seasons of all time.&nbsp;There's not&nbsp;much we can do about the weather,&nbsp;apart from staying hydrated&nbsp;but a hot summer&nbsp;calls for an&nbsp;appropriately airy wardrobe.&nbsp;&nbsp;
And there is one item that is perfect for the sweltering heat - crop tops!&nbsp;So&nbsp;whip out your crop tops and we&rsquo;ll show you 5 ways to style this 2000s trend in the most&nbsp;non-boring way possible!&nbsp;
Layer&nbsp;With&nbsp;a Jacket&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you want to wear the crop top without feeling too naked, layer your top under an oversized light jacket. It is best to style a bright or statement tiny top under jackets&nbsp;for a casual but brunch-ready look.&nbsp;
Streetwear Ready
If you&rsquo;re not quite ready to bid goodbye to sweatpants, you can match your jersey crop tops with your bottoms.&nbsp;You can create a co-ord&nbsp;set or strike a colour blocked contrast in this uber comfortable look.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Skirt Up Your Style&nbsp;&nbsp;
Inarguably the queen of midriff-baring looks in Bollywood, take a cue from Disha Patani and pair a dressy crop top with a stylish skirt. You can&nbsp;buy a crop top that is in the same print as your skirt or mix and match from pieces already in your wardrobe.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Crop Shirt&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re looking for a more grown-up and office-friendly way to try the trend, go for a cropped shirt. You can pair&nbsp;the cropped shirt with sleek coordinated&nbsp;trousers or just wear any straight fit bottoms from your closet.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Glam it up!
Another great way to style a crop top for a night out on the town is to wear a smart blazer with it. The blazer adds a glamorous&nbsp;yet structured look to the outfit, while the crop top underneath becomes that pop of fun to this otherwise formal outfit.&nbsp;
Which style will you be trying out in the near future?

British retailer Asos launched an online tool called &lsquo;See My Fit&rsquo; in January 2020 that allowed people to see how a certain outfit would look on different body types. While you couldn't actually try on each&nbsp;Asos&nbsp;dress, the tool promised to make the experience more inclusive for the different kinds of shoppers.&nbsp;
Similarly, make-up brands have been trying to nail personalised virtual technologies for a long time. From Maybelline&nbsp;and MAC&nbsp;to L&rsquo;Oreal,&nbsp;virtual try-on apps for makeup&nbsp;are a great way to test out products without actually going to the store. All you have to do is head to your favourite brand&rsquo;s website and let the technology map your&nbsp;facial features in real-time.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While there are fewer virtual options for sneakerheads, Wanna Kicks is a fantastic app&nbsp;for a virtual trying-on experience. The app features shoes from all the major brands including Nike, Adidas,&nbsp;Reebok&nbsp;and even some covetable high-fashion names like Gucci. Even if you can&rsquo;t afford the actual sneakers, you can try them on through this app for free!&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you miss the experience of just walking around the store, Indian high-end designer Manish Malhotra opened the country&rsquo;s first virtual couture store in January 2021.&nbsp;You can now swipe&nbsp;through the aisles, zoom in on the products, and get details of the item, all from the comfort of your homes.&nbsp;
If you especially miss your window shopping trips, a modern dress up game will be right up your alley! Created by a former magazine editor, Drest lets you&nbsp;digitally create avatars based on actual models in luxury fashion looks from the world&rsquo;s biggest brands.&nbsp;From Prada to Versace, there are clothes from over 200 labels on this iOS app for you to play around with!&nbsp;
While the virtual try-ons&nbsp;may not be perfect yet, these options&nbsp;offer a very exciting&nbsp;window into the future of fashion!&nbsp;&nbsp;

Want more than a glass of water to quench your thirst? Try these easy DIY fun drinks to stay cool and hydrated all summer long.&nbsp;
1. Hibiscus Iced Tea
The exotic drink provides the cool-down refreshing properties of water or even lemonade. It&rsquo;s a healthier alternative to the refined sugar and artificial sweeteners in many iced teas and sodas.&nbsp;All you need is hibiscus tea bags, honey and water to create this magical concoction.&nbsp;
2. Cucumber Lemonade
Lemonade is a classic summer drink that you cannot go wrong with. Crisp cucumber, sour lemon juice, and sweet honey join up to provide you with one healthy trio of flavors. The fresh-squeezed lemon juice in this yummy beverage offers powerful detoxifying&nbsp;properties and flushes out toxins from the body.
3. Lemon Ginger Sparkling Water
Lemon and ginger may sound like an unusual combination but when added to sparkling water, it turns out to be like Ginger Ale with an extra twist of mint leaves. This refreshing sparkling water is just what you need on a warm day.&nbsp;
 4. Strawberry Basil Water
Change up your daily water regime with fun and healthy strawberry basil water. This drink is perfect to take on the go or when you are simply relaxing.
Combine strawberries, basil and lemon with water in a large pitcher. Before serving, refrigerate the drink for at least 3 hours.
5. Fruit Infused&nbsp;Water
As the name suggests, add slices of your favorite fruit to water to create a refreshing drink. The fruits will add all the healthy goodness your body needs and water will of course keep you hydrated. How fresh!
One sip of these relaxing drinks will help you tackle lazy summer afternoons and potential&nbsp;dehydration.
