The Lion Monument


Hello Allys,

Hope You all are doing fine this Friday. This week special feature is from the Snowland – Switzerland. Yes, Switzerland is one of my favourites for in Goa we don’t get snow! Like any person from Uttarakhand who visits Goa, goes gaga about the beach. I go gaga about the snow. However Today I am not discussing about the sno, but about a famous landmark – The Lion Monument. This monument is the pride of Lucern city. Widely also known as the The Lion of Lucern.

This Ancient Monument has a story to tell, just like how every monument has one. But the story of this one will definately touch your soul. This monument was built to salute the hardwork that the Swiss put during the French Revolution. This place has turned to be one of the most visited landmarks, turning out to be a major tourist destination in Switzerland’s Lucern city.

The idea of having this monument engraved on the cliff dates back during the early 18th Century. Where the Danish Sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen designed this monument along with Lukas Ahorn to carve the cliff into the design of the picture we see today. If one takes a closer look at the monument one can see some text written on the top of the cliff in latin which says Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti which means To the Loyalty and Bravery of the Swiss.

This beautiful monument we see is of a Lion carved on the cliff depicting the plight of a dying Lion. Theย  dying state of the Lion with a shield near him and spear peaking from his body, while he is seen covering the fleur-d-lis which means stylized lily (Symbolizing the French Monarchy) This depicts how the Lion symbolizing the Swiss fought bravely till the end to safeguard the honor of the French, eventually loosing their lives.

4 Steps to have Summer Ready Skin


Hello Allys,

Hope you all are keeping well this Summer. The temperatures in Goa has already started shooting up and considering the fact that we are on the 1st day of the May month. All I can say, May and Summer both have decided to come hand in hand to say “Hello” to us!

Considering the rising temperature in the state, all you need to do is take very good care of yourself. And this week, I have decided to give you’ll quick tips about how to keep your skin care routine right specially during the summers.

So, Let’s begin :

1. Use a Sunscreen Lotion – I know this tip everyone knows but this is the most important weapon against the Sun’s Harsh rays. And this is something, several people avoid. During the Summers, the UV rays are much higher and so using Sunscreen is a must. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of about 30 is advisable for Indian Summers. So choose your sunscreen wisely. One more important thing to be noted is that several people apply sunscreen and instantly get in contact with the sun. Well, this shouldn’t be done, you should apply Sunscreen about 20 – 30 minutes before stepping outside. So that your sunscreen blends with your skin. Once you apply the sunscreen the protection remains for 4-5 hours, after which one needs to re apply the sunscreen. Also in case you are having water activities on your list, use a waterproof sunscreen for protection of your skin.

2. Follow Your Daily Routine Diligently – Every Morning begin the day by cleaning your face using A Face Wash, in case you get a lot of Acne Problem use Himalayas Neem Face Wash as that product is best for acne pimples and provide instant results. Following which use a Good Moisturizer with SPF – that will moisturise your skin all day. And Every Night, no matter how tired you are make sure you take off all your make up of your face and then only hit the bed. There are several make up removers in the market and mostly it is advised try to use only the same brand as the make up items that you use. Example, suppose you use Lakme Foundation then use Lakme Absolute Bi Phased Make Up Remover as that works well with your skin. And before going to bed make sure, you wash your Face with a Face Wash.

3. You are what you eat –ย Summer is the time you need to stay hydrated and for that drinking water like lots and lots of water is a must. Try to avoid fast food, fatty and oily food as that results in acne outburst. Also, during summer try and have fresh juices, fruits vegetables well that will keep you hydrated. Simultaneously try to include Vitamin C in your diet as that will keep your skin blemish free.

4. Apply Fruit Face Pack –ย Use a fruit pack on your face atleast weekly once. Just how eating is improves your health, applying fruit face pack rejuvenates your face. And now, thanks to companies face pack are readily available at stores. Choose one that contains more of milk as the moisturization clears excessive oil production and greasiness on your skin.

Hopefully these will be useful for your summers! If you have any more tips, ideas suggest them in comments below! Have a Fruitful Summer!
