CARGOES

Hi all !! I just went for a movie last Sunday. And suddenly the subject for my next post creep-ed in my mind : CARGOES... Any guesses which movie I saw ??? Yeah I am talking about Ready :)



Cargoes came up in mid 1930s. But not as a casual wear or clothing. They were originally designed specially for soldiers. They were first worn by British military commandos. The original cargoes had huge pockets on the sides and in front to provide storage for gears. They were made of extra tough fiber to make them more resistant to wear and tear.




It was in late 1990s, that cargo became a part of fashion trend. Cargoes were initially worn by the hip hoppers and became a symbol for rappers and hip hoppers. Then the fashion got wide spread. With time, the fashion came in and out. And we are here with the latest much modified cargoes. Now we have cargo pants in lighter fabric and many designs and patterns. For men, the latest are the ones worn by Salman Khan in Ready (Dhink Chika song). Military print was the basic pattern of cargoes, but now it is available in almost all colors and designs. Guys can pair cargoes with tight round neck t-shirts ("Being Human" for sure if you are Sallu fan :) ).

Cargoes are comfortable and looks great on a outing. Semi cargoes or Capri are also available in market. They can be worn with floaters and Tees. Cargo Capri is great for monsoon. It is comfy and dry quickly. For gals, cargoes are modified a lot to give it a feminine look. Cargoes are made from silk and much lighter fabric. Embellished with laces and ribbons, and the stone work on them adds to the glamour. Here are some samples to choose from.




So, its time to do some dhink chika in your cool cargoes :)

Foot care in monsoon

When talking about beauty and body care, feet are the most neglected parts of our body.

Beautiful long legs add charm to the body. Though they carry burden of entire body, we don't give them the pampering they deserve.

Monsoon is on. The chilling breeze, cool rain drops makes the environment lovely. But not everything is so wonderful about the monsoon. Specially for the foot. Walking in the rain could be fun for once, but the feet pay for it later. Dirt and mud gets accumulated in the nail pores. The natural moisture of feet is lost due to humidity and germs are just an addition to the list.

So, our feet needs an extra hand of care in monsoon to keep them hygienic and beautiful.

Regular regime for foot care must include washing feet with liquid, scrubbing to remove the dead skin, dabbing with moisturizer to retain the lost one.

For monsoon, we need to take a little bit of more care. Following some simple steps can give you soft and supple feet in monsoon too.

1. Wash feet with luke warm water and anti septic soap or liquid to remove off the germs that may cause fungal infection in long run. After washing, dry them completely.

2. After drying the feet, its time for some cleaning. In monsoon, mud gets accumulated in nails easily. Take a nail cutter and remove off the dirt from in between the nails smoothly.

3. Then dab the feet in good quality moisturizer. But remember, moisturizer should not be applied between the toes.

4. A weekly pedicure is ideal for monsoon season. Professional beauticians gives great pampering to the feet, but if you don't have that much time, a home based pedicure can also serve the purpose. A good pedicure is not only good for your feet, but can help in relaxing the entire stressed out body.

Start with soaking your feet in warm water containing lemon juice and liquid soap. Keep the feet in water for about 20 minutes. After that start with scrubbing, this would easily remove off the dead skin layers as the feet are wet. For scrubbing you can use a gentle scrubber or pumice stone. Then cut trim the nails, and clean the pores, and push back the cuticles. You can also clean your nails using a old brush. Just rub the brush gently on the nails. This will remove the dead cuticles easily. Rinse off the feet in same water again, and then once in cold water. Pat them dry. Apply small quantity of moisturizer, and give a foot massage starting from upside towards the toes. This increases the blood circulation.

If you think the above procedure takes much time, you can go for a short pedicure.

First wash your feet with warm water. Then dab some tissues in lemon juice and rub the feet with it. This would remove the odour and germs. Then rinse off the feet once again. And apply moisturizer and wear a pair of clean socks for better absorption over night.

Avoid wearing closed shoes or boots in monsoon, as water is clogged in them and this would lead to fungal infection. Instead wear sandal and slippers.
