Girl meets Miami! Megha Grover en route to Miami
It took me quite a while to sit down and write this post. Not cause I was lazy or didnt know what I wanted to say. But because I was immersed in the preparation in a milestone for my best friend.
Now that the preparation is over and the euphoric feeling has given me goose bumps I now feel its a perfect time to write this post.
I remember in 2008 sitting at my desk with my best friend Namrata behind me and another BFF Ian sitting by my side. We were all intensely looking at our computer screens and typing profusely in unison.
The 1/4 of our little world walked in, looking confused and all typing stopped. I know nowthat, that conversation changed our lives for the better. We said echoing each others thoughts " Don't think about it too much, now that you have realised your dreams and worked hard towards it, quit! We are there to support you." We said that scared ourselves wondering if this was the right advice. It was! She ofcourse spoke to other people and the passion in her eyes made everyone say the same thing. Go after your dreams.
Megha Grover our BFF is on her way to take part in The International Miami Beach Fashion Week. The only woman designer to do so in history. It may have taken some time, it definitely took a lot of hardwork, stress and sweat on Megha's part but she has taken herself to such heights and I can't wait for her to get the success she deserves.
Megha's clothing line for the Miami Beach Fashion Week is amazing. I dont say this because she is my best friend, however i remember thinking when I saw the garments during her catalog photoshoot OH MY GOD! she is soooo talented. I will share the pictures of the clothing line once her shwocase in Miami is over. Which is on the 22nd of March, at the South Beach convention Center at 21:30 Miami time.
I dont want to get into what all she has had to go through to get where she is and how much harder she might have to work to get where she wants to be. I want to savor her success. I want to constantly recall the shrieks of joy i heard when she got her visa.
I write here on behalf of all the people who love her. To tell her we're behind you. We love you! And you have always made us proud. And now its tiem for the rest of the world to know what we already did.
To get updates from Megha, join her FB page

Right Kinda Bar - THE BEAUTY BAR
I've never really bonded with bars, don't get me wrong, i've paid my dues with a glass (or should i say glasses) of whiskey during happy hours post work. However, i'm not always up for bar crawling or club hopping.
I now have to recant everything i have said, cause i found the perfect bar. Which? you ask,
The Beauty Bar.
Last month I went to this quaint little store in Lokhadwala, not expecting much and i was pleasantly surprised. Most of the products that I only saw on youtube tutorials or online stores were available and not over priced (thanks to ALL our taxes).
The Beauty Bar has brands like Urban Decay, Too Faced, Victoria's Secret, YSL, Bobby Brown to name a few. After much research, I realized that the most competitive price for these brands was at The Beauty Bar. And the icing on the cake is the 20% to 10% discounts that they offer on selected brands.
What depresses me most is the fact that Beauty products in India are so highly priced. Even though they are half the price or less in the country they are manufactured in. Finding out that these products were available at a reasonable price and i didn't have to mortgage my home to acquire them made me giddy headed.
What I love about The Beauty Bar is the owner Kamya's and a member of The Beauty Bar's team Gunjan, their eagerness to assist you with the perfect product. I had Kamya wip out her own personal products and apply them on my to show me how much I would love them, and I did. Sales techniques you say? hmmmmm I think the difference here is how genuinely they want to help you with good products. they will never encourage you to buy quantity (though its always appreciated) they push you towards the quality of the product and tell you how to ensure its longevity.
I recently attended a Doll Me Up Personal Makeup Workshop hosted by The Beauty Bar and conducted by MUD's makeup artist Shamita Gogia. The amount I learned in basic makeup application was amazing. I have enhanced my knowledge and skill and can't wait to do a professional course to really take it up there.
With only 3 students per workshop, the attention to detail made every minute worthwhile. Shamita was so amazing as a teacher that even though we spend almost double the time stipulated for the class, her quality of teaching and the attention to detail didn't falter. She kept going till we understood the technique.
I am also going to do The Beauty Bar Haul on my Youtube Channel, so stay tuned for that.
So where is The Beauty Bar??? Well I have given you link above, however the easiest way to remember is on the main road where Infinity Mall Andheri and Laxmi Industrial Estate is, It's the lane between the Adhikari brothers (SAB TV) building and The Tanishq store. Once you enter the lane (on foot) you walk for about 5 minutes and you will see a Blue Neon sign saying The Beauty Bar.
Hope you makeup enthusiasts do visit. Let them know i said Hello!
XOXO
