Smart Features

Smartwatches have numerous smart features that include contactless payment, finding my phone, navigation, reminders, notifications, and displaying incoming calls. These features are excellent especially if you’re a person like me, can’t find your phone most of the time, or need to be reminded of upcoming meetings (and anniversaries).

Track your health

My Smartwatch helps me keep track of the overall hours of sleep I get (I need at least 8 hours to avoid biting someone’s head off) It also helps me to learn all about my heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, etc. I love the step count feature the most. At the end of the day, the watch will display the total steps taken. My hubby and I are in a continuous competition of who has the maximum number of steps at the end of the day (It motivates him to beat me at something).

Apart from these, there are loads of features to make the best of. If you’re planning to get one for yourself then go right ahead, you won't regret it. If you are already using a smartwatch, do let us know your favourite feature. Well, that’s all, for now, guys, I do hope to see you in our next article. Until then take care and stay safe!

Holiday Weight!

India is a country full of fun and festivals. Every month we find ourselves celebrating a festival, either in our own homes or with our friends. We have all just returned from our long vacay and celebrated the festival of lights to the fullest. The entire nation comes together to celebrate Diwali, right from distributing sweets, lighting diyas, enjoying fireworks to the colorful rangoli’s.

As for me, I don’t have a sweet tooth, but I really enjoy all the sweet and savory items (after all Diwali comes once a year!). I’m sure like me there are many of you guys who think the same (mostly women). Most men don’t stress about their weight (like my hubby). On the other hand, yes, I’m a bit conscious about putting on that extra, and with the stress of gaining, I guess I end up stress eating (hehe). If you can relate to it, then you already know what a vicious cycle this can be. However, is it really all that bad?

We have the anxiety of gaining that extra weight always around the holidays. But over the years I’ve learned, the weight you gain during the holidays is just temporary. I don’t stuff my face otherwise, and not a couch potato either. So, I really don’t have much to worry about. If you’re the same, always up and about then you can be at peace that you will lose the additional pounds before you know it. However, if you find yourself stuck with a sedentary a then you may find it a tad challenging. Therefore, the following week, sticking to a diet that is light and tasty, in small portions will definitely help (I know it has worked wonders for me).

Holidays come once a year, let's enjoy them and find smart ways to beat those extra pounds. Do let me know your thoughts on gaining those extra pounds during the holidays and how you have managed to shed your holiday weight. See you guys soon, have a great day!
