Hong Kong Disneyland – Live it, Love it


Hello My Amazing Allys,

Hope you all are doing well this Friday! Well, brace yourself as this week we head towards another Disney Park, well this time – It’s gonna be Hong Kong – Disney Land. And well this one, being one of my favourites as this place is filled with some amazing memories right from screams on those high roller coaster rides to fan moments of clicking pictures with the Disney Characters, which I saw on television as a little kid. One of my fondest memories include summer holidays, which I spent having mangoes watching these cartoons on television. And getting an opportunity to meet your favourite characters, it is the most amazing thing ever. And here are the details of this wonderful trip of mine.

Have you read about the Paris DisneyWorld?

Hong Kong Disneyland is aptly given the tagline – Live it, Love it. Very rightly promoted by Hong Kong Tourism Board, to promote tourism in their country. Initially, this beautiful place was known as a simple fishing village but today it’s counted as one of the most leading cosmopolitan cities in the world, a home to several.

Since 1st July 1997, Hong Kong is the special administrative region of China. It is still a place where ancient traditions thrived with ultra modern cultural ethics. Having one of the most busiest market streets to modern skyscrapers and historic heritage. You name it and Hong Kong has it all.

TIP OF THE DAY

  • Try to plan your visit to the Theme Park on a Week Day as this place is usually crowded till the brim.

The most famous and popular tourist attraction is the Hong Kong Disneyland. A wondrous world of exciting and enchanting Disney characters, where once a upon a time was now. The thrill of imaginary characters coming into reality and a place where 3D films are portrayed the best. The place where one can create amazing memories, that’s surely going to last forever.

Hong Kong Disneyland was thrown open to public in the year 2005. This place has the largest theme park however, the smallest Disney Park in the world. This beautiful little town is divided into Sections, to name a few includes – Main Street, U.S.A; Fantasyland; Adventureland and Tomorrowland.

TIP OF THE DAY

  • Pick a Map from the Disney Stall and mark the places you want to cover. And stick to the plan.

When you enter the Disneyland the first thing one can see is the Micky Mouse fountain, where the Mickey Mouse is standing on a shark and it keeps moving upwards and down, welcoming everybody to his island. The instant first photo opportunity.

TIP OF THE DAY

  • Wear Bright Colors like Orange, Yellow, Mustard and click some amazing pictures of yourself. If traveling alone, don’t carry your selfie stick as selfie stick is prohibited in this disney park.

Walking further, the first thing that comes is Main Street, U.S.A; a place where ancient small town settings are shown, there are also vintage cars at the display, and a small museum with all the cartoon character right from Rapunzel to Cindrella. And at the corner, there are People dressed as Donald Duck; large queues are seen to click photos with their favorite Disney characters. Well, I initially too stood in those long queues but hey! Then I realised I wanted to go on the roller coaster rides, quickly got a picture clicked with them and then headed to next street – Fantasyland.

Fantasyland is the  happiest kingdom for all that includes children and also people who are child at heart. This place brings to life the Disney animated stories in a quaint storybook village. Here the experience of 3D is exceptional, followed by the 3D show there’s an amazing Disney show where all the characters, Mickey, Winnie the Pooh, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, you just name the character, and you get to see them in reality. Here anything is possible, all what you have to do is believe.

Adventureland, a place where one can venture deep into the heart of the jungle, and it gives you an opportunity to the world’s exotic tropical regions. Lovely mini trawler ride, takes you through this beautiful journey. But the problem over is, if you seen one side of the place, you miss the beauty on the other side and hence one’s neck pains turning both the side. It was marvelous moment to see India, in that small journey. Surely, it was a proud moment for every Indian.

TIP OF THE DAY

  • A person having a heart problem avoid Adventureland, you can enjoy the other places.

Following this is the Tomorrowland, a place which is a homebase to many futuristic ideas. Breadth taking roller coaster ride, one of which is the roller coaster which takes you high up and then brings you down from the 21st floor.

As per my recommendation, you should try these 5 rides :

  • Dumbo – the Flying Elephant at the Fantasyland
  • Iron Man Experience at the Tomorrowland
  • Jungle River Cruise at the Adventureland
  • Mystic Manor at the Mystic Point
  • Toy Soldier Parachute Drop at the Toy Story Land

TIP OF THE DAY

  • Carry an umbrella along with you, as it rains in Hong Kong the least when you expect it.
  • At the same time carry a sunscreen.

Top 7 Home Remedies To Permanently Remove Dark Circles Under Eyes


Hello My Ally,

Hope you all are doing fine. Today’s Tuesday Tip is little different then the rest for several reasons! Recently, I was interacting, with a couple of my friends and all what I noticed was most of them have dark circles. After interacting with them, I got to learn lack of proper sleep, stress, skin irritation, exposure to the sun seems to be major reasons for the same. So thinking about this, I thought the need of the hour at the moment is to write something that will solve this problem. Are you too facing a similar problem? Do you too have dark circles under your eyes.?

Well, don’t worry like it is often said with every problem there is a solution. And Hey! When I am here, what’s the fear? And I completely believe that home-made and natural remedies are the best to solve any problem.

So to get rid from the dark circles under your eyes, Here are the Top 7 tips to cure Dark Circles under Eyes

1. Milk

This ingredient is one of the most commonly found items at home. Be it for tea or coffee or just may be for chocolate drinks like Bournvita, Horlicks and so on. Milk is treated almost like a necessity at home and has multiple uses. Well, coming to my topic for the day, this item can also be used for permanently curing of your dark circles. For the remedy, all you have to do is take bowl of cold milk and cotton (make it in the shape of a ball). Dip the cotton ball in the bowl of milk and place the same on your eyes, covering the affected area completely for about 15 minutes after which the same can be washed with regular water. The same exercise has to be done for every day for almost two weeks to receive results. The idea of using the milk is, Milk is rich in lactic acid which works towards making the skin –  smooth, thick and firm, diminishing wrinkles and fine line.

2. Tomato

Another commonly found item in your kitchen – Tomato. Yes Tomato is useful because it contains lycopene, a phytochemical which protects the skin from any kind of damage. All you need to get started is a teaspoon of Tomato Juice and Lemon Juice. Mix the two in a container and apply the same on the affected area and rinse with cold water after keeping the same for about 10 minutes. This should be done atleast twice a day for approximately for two to three weeks. If you have a sensitive skin, use rose water with the mixture before applying to the affected area under your eyes.

3. Cucumber

The most commonly used products to relax. All you need a fresh cucumber to be cut in thick round slices and place the same for refridgerating for about 30 minutes. Then take two slices and place the same on the affected area covering the same properly. And Sit back and relax for next 10 minutes and wash your eyes with cold water. Do the same for two times in a day for roughly a week and see the difference yourself.

4. Coconut Oil

The next remedy is using virgin coconut oil, Pat the oil on the skin under your eyes and massage the same gently in clock and anti- clockwise motions a few times and leave the same on for a night. Repeat the same exercise every night before the bed. The best part about using this oil is that it nourishes and moisturises your skin’s health, just like it would do to your hair, this indeed reduces dark circles gradually.

5. Turmeric 

Turmeric as it is known to be used in face packs and creams for their skin brightening properties. In this remedy take 1/4 Turmeric teaspoon and mix the same with 1 almond oil. Massage the same under affected area and leave the same for 20 minutes and wash the same either with water or wipe it off with a  soft tissue  for best results use it thrice a week.

6. Honey

The Perfect Skin Diet is provided by Honey. All you have to do is apply a thin layer of organic honey under the affected area and leave the same for 15 -20 minutes and the same hsa to be repeated once a day, almost every day.

7. Rose Water

All You need is Rose Water, 2 Cotton Balls. Take the same cotton balls and soak the same in the rose water and place them under your eyes and leave the same on for 15 minutes and Wash with cold water. Do the same daily for four weeks for best results.

How to Invest more on Yourself?


Hello My Beautiful Allys,

After receiving amazing response for the previous #BeingAllycaralSaturdaypoll 👒 here I am with my first post on Self Care post. Interesting and exciting as it could be, here I am experimenting with my first Self Care #BeingAllycaralTuesdaytips 👒

And this week, the best topic to start with is “How best One can Invest more in Self”. People often have this misconceptions that investing on yourself means spending a lot of money. The fact is, this may not be the case. It is basically a feeling one needs from self in order to feel fulfilled. This may sound a lot deeper, and you might find yourself lost or confused. Hey! hang on, I just got started. The Golden Rules to Invest Gracefully on Yourself include:

  • Be Happy – As simple as it may sound, in today’s world of uncertainty we all go through questioning relationships, jobs wondering are we really happy doing what we are at the moment? We definitely may have a smile on our face but truly are we satisfied what we are doing? And the best person to figure this out is none other than ourselves. Remember in order to be happy, you need to feel it from within. Often, people get affected by the surrounding, situations that bring you down. But the best way to deal with all these things are to learn to put your happiness first, and always remember never to depend on someone else for your happiness. Because no matter what, whether with or without life still moves on. If you catch the train, you win, if you don’t well don’t worry stay there another one is definitely on it’s way. Remember, the only person who have the power to make yourself happy is your self. If you have to truly enjoy yourself. Some days, do what you always wanted to do, take a day off or maybe a week, go watch a movie, play a video game that you like, treat yourself at the spa, enjoy a late laid back afternoon at a beach side, spend some time with old friends reminiscing some good old memories. Because hey! you are still very young, you don’t have to figure out what your entire life would look like.
  • Assess Your Goals and Targets of Life –  This is something which everyone needs to do in order to make sure in this journey of life you are making the most out of the opportunities that you are given. Assessing and evaluating your career graph in simple words mean comparing yourself for a period. Like for example, if there is a difference between You about a Year back and Today in terms of the things that you have  learnt, the growth in terms of the way you handle situations and most importantly how rationally you can deal with the balance of professional and personal life. Some days definitely there will be a times, when you don’t have to figure out what you will be doing in the next 5 years. On those days all you have to do is just go with the flow and most importantly get through the day. But make you sure to bounce back and work hard to achieve what you planned for yourself in the coming years. (Always write Your Goals down, Look at it every morning, Trust me this works! Try Yourself to see results.)
  • Work towards achieving Healthy Physical and Mental Self – Now Working towards achieving a whole healthy self is one of the things we often hear! Now, in order to achieve a Healthy Self – First we need to get out of the bed and exercise. The best way to get our physical self fit is exercising, now this could be at home or at gym. I usually prefer exercising at home because you get your own space and at the same time you alone can push your self harder than anyone else can. So Exercising Definitely helps a lot as most of us are working tirelessly sitting in front of a PC or a Mac Book or a laptop exhausting mentally ourselves from morning to evening, which means less body activity. So Exercising pumps the blood and this is one of the aspect of Being Healthy, Now the second aspect includes How to keep your Mental Self Healthy. One of the best ways to do so is Meditation. Yes! an age old traditional method, which instantly rejuvenates yourself. Usually advisable for 45  minutes every single day, this will bring much needed stability for your mind. And another important therapy is music! Keep a separate music time for yourself. Listen to tracks that uplift your soul. Listen Happy Tracks. The best time to exercise or meditate is early mornings before breakfast or post office after going home. And as World Health Day is Coming Up on 7th April 2018. Indeed a perfect month to kick start your workout routine.
  • Develop Your Skills – This is the best way to learn something new, be it a new language, or be it new dance form or simply be it learning to play a guitar. The best way to get started is read books, research online, watch videos, read matter online. This slowly increasing your knowledge day by day helping you to develop new additionally skills. Learning is not just restricted to these, several times we learn and develop skills by meeting friends, colleagues and acquaintances. It is always said, every person that you meet in your life teaches you something or the other. Sometimes good to best while sometimes bad to worst. What is important is you take everything and absorb the positivism in everything.

There you are simple as it sounds. Remember the more you invest on your self with the pointers mentioned above the more richer you will get. And it is an every day process. And in this world full of uncertainties it is advisable to always take time off for the most important person in your life which is yourself. Make that person the happiest for that person deserves a lot. And I would say, You alone know what all things that person has gone through, so hey you alone can be a superman/ superwomen to save yourself.
