by Aishwarya Let’s talk about the alcohol brands owned by celebrities 2 November 2022 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Alcohol has a huge presence at many parties and this fact can’t be denied. With the creator economy, there is an influx of individuals and celebrities turning towards entrepreneurship. Many celebrities have come forward with their brand, while many of them have also partnered with some big organisations. Let’s talk about some of the celebrities who have turned into entrepreneurs of the future. Aviation American Gin, by Ryan Reynolds: Ryan Reynolds, a famous Hollywood actor, has turned into a co-owner of Aviation American Gin. He has quoted in the company’s official website, “I’ve tried every gin on the planet and the Aviation is hands down, the best. Also, I don’t recommend trying every gin on the planet. Stick with this one.” The actor has launched the Aviation America Gin brand on British Airways (BA) flights. He invested in Aviation in the year 2018. In October 2021, his brand teamed up with Reynolds’ wife, actor Blake Lively, to launch a cocktail menu containing Aviation Gin and Betty Buzz mixers at the British Airways John F Kennedy International Airport Lounge, in New York City, US. Betty Buzz, by Blake Lively: Ryan’s wife, Blake Lively, recently launched her brand of mixers; Betty Buzz. She claims that, whether you are sober-curious, health-conscious, or simply looking for better-tasting mixers, Betty Buzz has super-bubbly choices to select from. The mixers come in a 9-ounce bottle, and the flavours such as; Tonic Water, Sparkling Grapefruit, Meyer Lemon Club Soda, Sparkling Lemon Lime, and Ginger Beer. All of them are made with no artificial flavours, colours, or sweeteners- also no ad cameos by Ryan, they are produced in the USA. Since her launch in September 2021, Blake has noticed the growing demand for her mixer products. The first piece of marketing came in April with Lively’s debut, where she playfully expressed her endless desire for bubbles while highlighting her Betty Buzz flavours. Brother’s Bond Bourbon, by brothers from Vampire Diaries: The on-screen brothers from ‘The Vampire Diaries’ are exploring the next phase of their lives together- as business partners, this time. Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, have a mutual love for bourbon- much like their brotherly bond. When they weren’t seen playing blood-thirsty vampires on-screen, Wesley and Somerhalder were building a tradition of their own- drinking bourbon. After a decade of drinking together, Wesley says that creating their bourbon “felt like an incredibly organic thing to do.” Like this, their journey of creating the Brother’s Bond Bourbon started- a passion project that has seen both of them through the stages of their bond. 818 Tequila, by Kendall Jenner: Kendall Jenner, a famous model, announced her latest venture; 818 Tequila, in February 2021. It is a small-batch brand that is a result of 3.5 years, as quoted by Jenner. Jenner showed an interest in creating a company that is focused on producing tequilas that appeal to a fresh generation of tequila drinkers, who are more into casual, social, natural experiences produced by a distillery that places a high priority on social responsibility. The significant aspects of 818 are known to be to promote environmental sustainability and support community initiatives that give back to people. Fresh Vine Wines, by Julianne and Nina: Fresh Vine Wines, the company co-founded by Julianne Hough, best known for “Dancing With the Stars”, and Nina Dobrev, known for “Vampire Diaries”. “It is a unique collection of bold, crisp, and flavourful wines that embody a deeper connection with active lifestyles” as quoted on their official website. They are manufactured and bottled in Napa, California, and their collection features a California Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc, and a Limited Reserve Napa Cabernet. The company has recently appointed a CEO; Janelle Anderson, who was formerly a marketing executive at American Airlines. With many celebrities turning towards entrepreneurship, we get to see a vast diversity and quality surge. It is a good move by them to make a much larger impact on society as an individual. Alcohol isn’t a necessity, but a want. Beware of your wants, and drink responsibly. The on-screen brothers from ‘The Vampire Diaries’ are exploring the next phase of their lives together- as business partners, this time. Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, have a mutual love for bourbon- much like their brotherly bond. #Alcohol #HollywoodCelebrities #RyanReynolds #BlakeLively #KendallJenner #JulianneHough #NinaDobrev #PaulWesley #IanSomerhalder SEARCH How was Chocolate Born FOOD Virgin Territory: These non-alcoholic thirst quenchers are mixologist approved FOOD Tasting the sunny side of Christmas: Christmas Cocktails FOOD 5 Destinations You Must Head to Taste Wine in India FOOD Breakfast – Don’t miss!

- New York Fashion Week Fall Collection
by Akash Khatri New York Fashion Week Fall Collection 1 January 2021 FASHION Advertisement New York Fashion Week is one of the “Big 4” fashion weeks in the world and is held semi-annually each year in February and September. This year all the live shows struggled to follow their conventional path due to pandemics, New York fashion week was no exception either and for months fashion designers struggled to cope with the “new normal” but definitely came up with some amazing collection. As pandemic has changed the trend of fashion to some extent and with most of the people working from home, the New York fashion week showcased the basic yet chic versions of the clothing rather than going all hunky-dory and glittery. The main cause taken up by most of the fashion designers was “Sustainable fashion” that would protect our environment and in times of such crisis like we are in 2020, giving attention to the environment and global warming is essential. One off-putting thing that the New York fashion week missed is to witness a few of the famous designers participating in New York fashion week’s fall collection. Although looking at the brighter side, the absence of few famous and well-known designers created room for the new and younger designers to shine through. Few names that won heart in the New York Fashion Week fall collection of 2020 are: Marc Jacobs: He highlighted more of the basics in an old school way. A-line coats and Mini shift dresses were the major highlights from his collection. Marina Moscone: She is known for her minimalistic styling. However, she surprised everyone in the fall collection and came up with some sexy options for the evening, some suits, and even used leopard prints for gowns. Prabal Gurung: He expressed his New York fall collection as a love letter to the city which deeply is fascinated about fashion and colours. He showcased the love for glamour meticulously via suits to gowns to jackets. Khaite: She presented her collection as a tale of two women from two different worlds which blended so perfectly and did not even urge us to choose a side either. Such diligently worked collection. There were far too many talented designers who gave everyone major fashion goals and showed how fashion would probably look like in the coming year. Hope you guys have taken note of how suits, A-line dresses, and animal prints and evening gowns won heart at the fall collection in New York fashion week and would keep your wardrobe updated accordingly.

- Colour Psychology in Fashion: Explained
by Aishwarya Colour Psychology in Fashion: Explained 9 December 2022 FASHION Advertisement Colour has a major role in our day-to-day life. Colours influence our mood and perception in life. They are an inevitable and important aspect of our lives. We buy clothes based on our colour liking, but the psychology behind it often goes unnoticed. Colour is the first thing that we notice, whenever consuming something. The concept of colour psychology plays a big role in the fashion design field. Now, you might be thinking what is colour psychology? Colour psychology is the influence of colours on the functioning of a person. It is a study of colours and their shades, to know more about our human behaviour. We get influenced by many things like perception, placebo, moods, nature etc. It is believed that our ancestors also used colour psychology as a therapy. It isn't a modern-day concept but, Egyptians, as well as Chinese people, practised Chromotherapy. This therapy included colour psychology, through which they used to heal people from their ailments. Colours have their own significance and meaning, and this is used in the design field to provoke a certain emotion. For example, red indicates bold and fierce, blue indicates calmness and loyalty and so on. Some colours are also associated with the calendar seasons. In the fall season, we tend towards shades of brown and orange, while in the winters we tend towards bright fun colours. The four primary colours- red, blue, yellow and green, is related to our mind, body and emotions. Let us see a few colours and how it affects our cognitive behaviour. Red colour indicates physical strength, warmth, energy, excitement and stability. In spirituality, it is the colour of the root chakra, the chakra that controls our existence and deep rooted knowledge. It is a dominant colour and is often related to defence, aggression and strain. Red should be preferred when you want to show power and warmth at the same time. Blue colour indicates intellect, communication, trust, logic, loyalty, calm and serenity. It is the colour of the throat chakra, the chakra that rules communication and our truth. It is also associated with coldness, aloofness, and unfriendliness. Blue colour calms the mind unlike red colour, which excites the mind. Blue can be worn for professional endeavours as it represents confidence and reliability. The yellow colour indicates optimism, creativity, self-esteem, extraversion and emotional strength. It is the colour of the Solar Plexus chakra, the chakra that rules the self, and the identity of the person. It is also associated with irrationality, fear, depression and suicide. The yellow colour has a long and emotionally stimulating wavelength to it. Yellow is considered to be the most active colour, psychologically. Violet indicates spiritual awareness, containment, vision, luxury, truth and quality. It is the colour of the Third Eye chakra, the chakra that rules intuition and higher perspective. It also indicates introversion, suppression and inferiority. It is considered that the people who wear purple are creative, insightful, and have an artistic approach. They are often mysterious and dreamy. The Grey colour depicts a lack of confidence, hibernation and depression. Grey is the only colour that has no direct psychological effects. The absence of colour makes it a depressing sight to see. It is a symbol of tranquillity, maturity and neutrality. It is difficult to define the characteristics of a person wearing a grey colour. The most loved colour, black depicts sophistication, glamour, efficiency and security. It also indicates oppression, menace and heaviness. Black is an absorption of all colours and doesnt depict a single characteristic of its own. Black creates an impression of importance and power. It makes the person to be taken seriously and respectfully. The effects of colours on our minds are more than we can ever imagine. So, the next time you choose a dress for yourself, make sure to know what you are looking to represent and then choose the colour. Choose the colours that you want in your life and, don't let the colours choose you instead. Colour psychology is the influence of colours on the functioning of a person. It is a study of colours and their shades, to know more about our human behaviour.

- An Uncontacted Island In India: North Sentinel Island
by Aishwarya An Uncontacted Island In India: North Sentinel Island 10 February 2023 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement In today’s modern world, we all look out for vacation destinations that are close to nature. Maldives and Mauritius are the two islands that will be there in your travel bucket list. What if we say that, there is an island that is banned for tourists? Well, if you were shocked knowing that, then let us take you through the most isolated island in the world; North Sentinel Island. North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands, located in the Bay of Bengal. It is the part of the Andaman Islands that is voluntarily isolated by its residential tribe. North Sentinel Island is home to the Sentinelese people, who are indigenous people in voluntary isolation. We all love our solitude, but Sentinelese loves their solitude way too much. They are considered to be the only uncontacted tribe in the world. The island is not known to many and the Government of India has also banned tourism over there. Under the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Protection of Aboriginal Act of 1956, people are prohibited to visit this island. The North Sentinel Island is protected and looked after by the Government of India. Many attempts to visit this island have resulted in violence. There isn’t much information about the island and the government has decided to let them be isolated only. In 2018, the Government of India excluded 29 islands- including North Sentinel- from the Restricted Area Permit region, in an effort of boosting tourism. In November, the government stated that the relaxation of the prohibition was to allow researchers and anthropologists, with pre-approved clearance, to visit North Sentinel. The anthropologists are fascinated by this island as the Sentinelese have not been studied much before. They are violent with the visitors and hence, we don’t even know the exact size of their population. The relaxation of the prohibition was done in the hopes of knowing them and their culture, but the result of it was something different. We humans always have an attraction toward the unknown, and hence, many people traveled to the island illegally. In 2006, the death of two fishermen, Sundar Raj and Pandit Tiwari was reported. It is said that their boats drifted too close to the North Sentinel Island and the Sentinelese attacked them. In a similar incident, an American Christian missionary, John Allen Chau was killed in the year 2018. The case of John Allen Chau took over the news pretty quickly. The 26-year-old, John, invaded the island illegally, with the motive of spreading Christianity. He went there to preach to them about Jesus and was killed by the Sentinelese on November 17th, 2018. The boatmen who took John over there reported that he saw the tribe dragging John’s dead body to the shore. In the same fashion, in 2006, when Sundar and Pandit were killed, they were buried on the shore of North Sentinel Island. The government authorities excavated one body, with great difficulty, and handed it over to his family. The body of John is, however, not found. The officials have opened a murder case but have not arrested anyone yet. John’s diary also reveals that he knew he would die and he has made a statement saying “don’t excavate my body”. One of the most notable events between outsiders and North Sentinel happened in 1981 when the Primrose cargo ship struck a nearby coral reef- north sentinel is covered with coral reef- shipwrecking sailors for nearly two weeks. The sailors were also attacked by the Sentinelese, and it is also known that they used the ship's debris to make metal tools. There have been more than 11 such violent cases that happened on North Sentinel Island. It is believed that they have their language, Sentinelese. It is an undescribed language and due to the lack of contact, nothing is known of their language and its vitality. After the incidents of violence, India ceased visits in 1997. The first peaceful contact with the Sentinelese was on 4th January 1991. Triloknath, a director of the Anthropological Survey of India, and his colleagues were the first ones to have peaceful contact with them. He also says that the contact didn’t bring much of the secrets out, because they weren’t allowing them to reach them. One more miraculous fact about North Sentinel Island is that it survived the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. The Indian government sent some helicopters to see their situation and give them food, but the tribe attacked the helicopter and swayed off the government officials too. While the much-developed cities suffered due to the tsunami, the North Sentinel Island- covered by water on all sides- survived it. Maybe, that is the reason we say that nature protects us when we live with it in alignment. The Sentinelese tribe is known to be the last hunter and gatherer civilization to exist. The government has now banned any tourist visits, respecting their desire to be isolated. It is also said that they are not immune to the pathogens of modern society, which makes them prone to modern-day diseases. While we desire to explore every part of the earth, it is better to leave some of the places on their own; untouched, uncontacted and unknown. North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands, located in the Bay of Bengal. It is the part of the Andaman Islands that is voluntarily isolated by its residential tribe. North Sentinel Island is home to the Sentinelese people, who are indigenous people in voluntary isolation. BLOB An island that remains uncontacted, unknown till the date. Let’s know about North Sentinel Island, an island that is nonetheless a mystery to the human race.

Make it a habit to cleanse, moisturize, and protect your skin every morning and evening, even on busy days. Listen To Your Skin If You See Any Adverse Changes: Pay attention to how your skin responds to different products and adjust your routine accordingly. If you notice any irritation or sensitivity, switch to gentler formulations or consult a dermatologist for personalized recommendations. Hydrate From Within: This is the most important element that you need to take care of.

As we kicked off our conversation, Purva's vibrant energy was palpable. "I am doing well. Thank you!!" she exclaimed, setting the tone for a lively dialogue. "Every day is different. I get to learn so many new things daily," she mused. The world of influencers is not just about posting pretty pictures but a constant process of self-improvement and evolution. Purva's dedication to learning mirrored her passion for connecting with industry experts. "Getting the opportunity to meet some of the best people in the industry is incredibly enriching," she shared. One couldn't help but notice the spark in Purva's eyes when discussing high-energy environments. Whether attending events or fashion shows, she described the experience as nothing short of crazy. "My favourite part is when I experience a high-energy environment, be it any event or fashion show… It's a crazy experience," she gushed. It was evident that these moments fueled her creativity and zest for life. One could almost visualize her immersed in the whirlwind of lights, music, and excitement. Amidst all the glamour and glitz, Purva revealed a lesser-known side of her journey—her involvement in Public Relations. But she was quick to correct any misconceptions. "Oh my god, that's not true. SMM & PR are two extremely different things," she clarified. Purva highlighted the essence of PR, which revolves around understanding clients deeper and finding ways to make them stand out uniquely. "In PR, we must understand our clients and how they are unique from others—how can we make them stand out from the rest," she emphasized. As she unraveled the complexities of PR, Purva touched upon the core of her work—innovatively and creatively presenting clients to the public, including media houses, journalists, and audiences. "This is the actual game," she exclaimed, shedding light on the strategic dance that PR professionals perform to create impactful narratives. While many individuals meticulously planned their career paths, Purva's journey took a more spontaneous route. "The next 5 years are a lot of time, and I am someone whose plans have never worked out! I did not plan to do whatever I was doing today!" she chuckled. Her candid admission was a refreshing departure from the scripted narratives often encountered. Instead of being overwhelmed by the uncertainty, Purva embraced it. "None of this was planned, and I love it already, so I've just surrendered myself to the universe. I am sure it will lead me to the right place!" she declared with unwavering faith. As we delved deeper into her world, Purva's passion for her work became even more apparent. "Current Projects! Where do I start? Because we are not allowed to talk about it, I am willing to tap into some Global opportunities for my clients, which I am doing right now," she shared with an air of excitement. The enthusiasm she radiated was a testament to her dedication and love for her job. "I love every bit of my job!" she exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. Her journey wasn't just about climbing the ladder of success and relishing each step. Purva's creative essence was a common thread woven throughout her story. "I have always been creative, and seeing myself do something like that every day gives me so much Joy!" she shared with a beaming smile. Her career was an extension of her true self—a canvas on which she painted her imagination, ideas, and dreams. Her words echoed the sentiment that when one's work aligns with their passions, it becomes an endless source of fulfillment. Influencer, PR professional, and creative soul—Purva's journey is a whirlwind of unexpected twists fueled by her unshakable spirit and zest for life. From the high-energy thrills of events and fashion shows to the intricacies of Public Relations, she seamlessly navigates through diverse landscapes, leaving her mark with every step. Her story serves as a reminder that embracing uncertainty and surrendering to the universe can lead to extraordinary adventures.

- Keeping it real with fashion & lifestyle influencer of the year Hofit Golan
By Aparajita Jaiswal Keeping it real with fashion & lifestyle influencer of the year Hofit Golan 5 April 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement Hofit Golan’s (Lifestyle, Fashion, Travel Influencer) interview with Manya Vadehra was quite a refreshing piece. With each question asked, she showcased positivity and the importance of valuing oneself. She won the title of Forbes Influencer of the year (2021) and has walked the ramp for several fashion weeks, including The Paris Fashion week in March 2022. She has modelled for brands such as Elisabetta Franchi and made significant appearances at The Venice Film Festival (2021) and Cannes Film Festival (2021). Hofit Golan’s entry into the fashion world was quite “by chance”. The influencer claimed that her first gig came as an opportunity from a relation of hers, trancing her journey as a “fashion entrepreneur”. She has actively contributed to organisations such as Global Angels Foundation, an international charity inspiring disadvantaged communities around the world to grow sustainably. According to her- “It is important to look at the bigger things in life. Even though I am an influencer, contributing to the society and maintaining healthy relations is way beyond that” Health and fitness are essentials in her lifestyle, and she motivates everyone to look after their body and mind and have a positive outlook towards it. When asked which amongst Runway catwalk, cover shoots and television and film acting she enjoys the most, she reveals- “None out of them. They all are a part of my job but being with my loved ones and meeting new people is what matters the most. I enjoy doing them all as part of my career, however I don’t look at them in the bigger picture”. Hofit Golan’s Instagram Bio says she is a Crypto Queen. When asked about NFT and Metaverse, here is what she had to say- “I think cryptocurrency and Metaverse are revolutionary developments in technology. There is massive technological growth and are huge inventions to invest in, especially in today’s era” Being a public figure and, therefore, shining in the spotlight can also have a negative side in terms of social media trolling. Hofit gives a positive outlook on such situations by saying- “If that is the case, the one stop solution is to simply block people. There is no need to give value to someone’s opinion who you may or may not know. It is not necessary for you to listen to such trolls. Personally, I received trolling way before I entered the space of social media but for those who are facing it, just learn to focus on yourself. Nothing is more important than your personal well-being. Therefore, prioritise that and everything else shall fall in place.” Hofit’s methods and manners of living life to the fullest are indeed inspiring. Her message to her fans and to the readers of the interview is to believe in themselves and their capabilities. “There is so much that you can do. Just believe that you are on the right path and keep going. You have got this” #Fashion #lutopia #LutopiaMagazine SEARCH Karishma Kotak Playing Her Innings In Fashion, Sports And Fitness COVER STORIES Musings With Maryam Zolghadr COVER STORIES Madhura Naik talks about the Life of an Actress COVER STORIES Kavya Thapar And Her Versatile Acting Career That Cuts Across Regional Lines COVER STORIES Ahsaas Channa Talks About Her Mother Being The Inspiration Behind Her Career COVER STORIES POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement By Anushka Sharma A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma 19 October 2024 COVER STORIES By Anushka Sharma A Journey Of Transformation, Empathy, And Unwavering Passion With Jitin Gulati 11 October 2024 COVER STORIES By Anushka Sharma Komica Anchal: A Journey Of Perseverance, Passion, And Possibilities 11 September 2024 COVER STORIES By Anushka Sharma From Dream To Reality: The Rise Of Sameer Mark In The Fashion Industry 9 September 2024 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement
