Shelf help

Over the course of our lives we willundoubtedly acquire a collection ofbooks - provided you still believe in

reading. Roman statesman and scholarMarcus Cicero famously said: "A room with-out books is like a body without a soul." Littlewonder then, that the home bookspace designis getting some thought, more than just buy-ing a bookshelf and populating it.

Get bookedFrom irregular shelves, modern minimalis-

tic design with single or double shelves to theplain classic bookshelf that can be used to dis-play art and photographs - bookspaces athomes are as diverse as the books they hold.Interior designer Vipul Amar feels that just

like books, bookshelves too tell a story."Bookshelves speak volumes about the fami-lies and their personal milestones as eachbook is a narrative of an era. But the spacesin the houses are shrinking and one has to getcreative with bookshelf design," he says.

Homeowners, today, use hidden spaces —under the stairs, behind doors — to stockbooks. Use colourful and peppy shelves inchildren's room and keep elegant teakwoodfor the living room.

In most modern houses, bookshelves arecustom made. Interior design expert NeerjaMehra mentions that bookshelves add intel-lectual design to the space. "The idea is togive every room a creatively inspiring space.Your bedroom can have a smaller bookcaseand you can keep changing the books there.But don't overload your shelf. Keep it neat asit will communicate what you read, who youare, and what you love," she says. Mehra sug-gests designing your shelf in a way that max-imises utility. Use the space for books, objetd'art or vases and photos. Painting or wallpa-pering the back of the bookshelves addsdrama to your displays. Don't align booksuniformly. Get creative - stack some bookshorizontally, put some plants in the middleand play around with other books vertically.

"Bookshelves speak volumes about the fam-ilies and their milestones, as each book is anarrative of an era," Vipul Amar, interiordesigner.

Japanese beauty secrets you cannot miss!

Known for their flawless porcelain skin,Japanese women are a sight to behold.Every dermatologist’s dream, the

Japanese take care of their skin through ameticulous routine perfected over centuries.The routine, traditional beauty remedies andsecrets help them achieve the smooth, lit-from-within skin. To be honest, who wouldn’twant such skin? We have curated a list of 7Japanese beauty secrets for you to follow.

Cleanse and then cleanse againFor the Japanese, its quality rather than

quantity. Cleansing your face twice is some-thing that the Japanese swear by. Investingtime in your skincare routine would yieldmaximum results. Start off with cleaningyour face using oil, rice bran or camellia,which are the traditional oils used by them.But you could use any oil that best suits yourskin. This is done to remove all the dirt, left-

over makeup and sunscreen properly. Followit up with a regular cleanser to remove anyresidue. This would ensure a squeaky cleanskin, free of dirt and grime, ready to absorball the goodness of other products.

The long, hot and relaxing showerWho doesn’t love unwinding with a long,

hot shower? It’s the perfect end to a stressfulday. Nowadays, bathing is a quick 5-minutetask completed with utter speed and efficien-cy. It’s only on special occasions that we real-ly give time to our bathing routine. Why notchange this habit? Japan has a rich historyof baths. Onsen ( A Japanese hot spring withbath houses situated around them) is theperfect example of this. Try it the Japaneseway by taking out time for a relaxing bath.Exfoliate, use essential oils, bath oils, mois-turizers and body wash to help keep yourskin refreshed.

Sun protectionEven though sun-kissed skin is something

that everyone lusts for, it’s definitely notworth the future damage to your skin.Japanese women with porcelain skin knowhow damaging the sun can be so try avoidingit as much as possible. But with abundantsun in India, that's a difficult thing to do.Instead of bracing the heat without protec-tion, start using generous amounts of sun-screen. Sunscreen, wide brimmed hats,shades and scarves should be your newmantra when you step out in the sun. If theJapanese can do it, so can we.
