An ideal place to be with your pals. How ideal you would ask? Hold on to ur jaws as it's about to get dropped. It is ideal to an extent where you can get a bottle instead of pegs, cigarettes are available just next to it and the best part is its light on your pocket.

Thumbs Up - A great place to hang out with friends. I mean you have everything available without going anywhere. I went with my buddies, we were 4 of us, so instead of pegs we ordered for half of the bottle of Blenders pride Reserve to go along with it we ordered Chilly chicken Dry and Chilly Fish. These starters were just amazing. The combination was like Romeo and Juliet, made for each other. Post the starters we ordered for some more starters, we went for Chilly Garlic chicken and Shanghai Chicken both were really spicy and goes perfect with drinks. We were actually really full with the starters so for mains we just ordered for Egg Cantonese Rice, my favorite these days. All the items we ordered were really good. Not even for a second, I had experienced anything wrong or bad about food and the ambiance.

Thumbs Down - The down part of this place is that its located deep in the lanes thus u might miss it on the first go. The restaurant is like made for friends and small office team gatherings and not for family. Although there is a separate section for families but did not see much of families there. You are not served with bitings along with drinks but u can ask the waiters to get it for u with extra help. Nothing apart from this.

All in all a great place to hang out with friends. Just enjoy the conversations, food, and drinks with our friends and savor mouth-watering food. I did exactly the same thing and loved every second spent there.

PS - Please use your own judgment before ordering your own Drinks and I do not promote drinking or smoking. Also, a word of advice do not go there on a self-drive chances are high that u might get caught for Drink and Drive and end up paying more than what u had spent at the restaurant.

Our bill came to Rs.3600 which included a half bottle of BP reserve, a beer and 2 FL soda. Plus 4 full plates of starters and 1 egg Cantonese rice.

A must visit with your friends. If not for GOA then visit this place.

You cannot rate a place where u created memories.

food for eating

If you have been into nutrition and fitness for a while, you would have come across the term “antioxidants”, and been told that more of these are great for your diet. This is certainly true. However, a lot of sources do not explicitly tell you which foods are high in these.

As such, we managed to get permission to republish this article today that focuses specifically on antioxidants. Be sure to read it thoroughly, evaluate your own diet and formulate a plan to get more antioxidants in. Here goes:

“Why do we need to eat foods that are found to be naturally high in antioxidants? What are antioxidants? Which foods do we need to eat, in order to naturally fight free radicals?

Scientists have found that the body forms unstable oxygen molecules, called free radicals; every cell produces tens of thousands of them each day. A free radical is basically an atom with an odd number of electrons in its outer ring.

Has your yoga practice plateaued? We all get stuck in ruts from time to time, both on and off the mat. Instead of letting it discourage you, take it as a sign that you need to mix things up. By making a few simple tweaks to your routine using technology and props, you can challenge yourself and take your yoga practice to new heights.

Turn Up the Temperature

If you’re getting bored in your basic yoga class, kick things up a notch at hot yoga. Hot yoga, also known as Bikram yoga, delivers an intense workout. Since the high temperatures used in hot yoga promote flexibility, it’s easier to achieve technical poses you’ve been working toward.

Hot yoga is harder on your cardiovascular system, however, so it’s critical you speak with your physician prior to beginning this practice, particularly if you have a heart condition. You’ll also want to adequately hydrate before class because you’ll be sweating a lot! Speaking of which: If you prefer to keep your phone with you in class, get a waterproof case so you don’t risk destroying it with sweat. As one example, a LifeProof case allows you to still have full access to your phone’s buttons and functions.

Hold Your Yoga Poses Longer

Speeding up your flow or turning up the thermostat aren’t the only ways to make your yoga practice more intense. Slow flow styles that emphasize holding poses for long periods are surprisingly difficult. While Vinyasa flows test your flexibility and balance, slow-flow styles like Ashtanga yoga and Hatha yoga challenge endurance and strength. Holding poses for a longer period also helps you perfect your alignment, so you’re less prone to injury.

Practice Yoga Three or More Times Per Week

When you only get on the mat occasionally, it’s difficult to make progress in your yoga practice. While a once-a-week yoga session is valuable for tuning into your body and mind, it’s not the sustained physical challenge you need to develop strength, flexibility, and coordination.

Remember, it is possible to overdo it. Every athlete needs rest days, whether you’re running marathons or doing a slow flow. Practicing yoga three to five times per week is an excellent goal, but don’t feel like you need to get on the mat every single day.

Grow Your Home Practice with Online Videos

If you’re struggling to fit more yoga practice into your schedule (or your budget), practice at home for some of your weekly sessions.

There are tons of yoga videos and yoga apps (such as Daily Yoga) available online, so it’s easy to pull one up on your phone and practice anywhere, whether that’s a dedicated yoga space in your home or a mat rolled out in the backyard. Home practice is also a great opportunity to try new poses that you might be too shy to experiment with in class, like AcroYoga with a partner.

Make money at Fiverr

How Fiverr Works For Sellers

Well, the ranking process is handled by Fiverr's proprietary algorithm, which looks at different "quality signals" in order to determine which gigs deserve visibility over others. (I know, that was a mouthful. But stick with me.) While there's no public record of what this algorithm looks at, most established Fiverr sellers would agree that it boils down to four fundamental signals...

Attract visitors

Engage prospects

Convert leads

Fulfill: order

Steps for Promoting Gigs to Make money at Fiverr

1. Hack Your Gig Title To Get A More Sharable URL

Ever looked at your Fiverr gig URL? For 99% of sellers, it'll probably look something like this: This URL is actually generated from your gig title the moment you hit publish on a new gig. It can also never be changed.

2. Use Keyword Modifiers To Get More Exposure On New Gigs

I'm a strong believer that when it comes to naming your gigs... shorter, punchier gig titles are the way to go. In the early weeks (and sometimes months) of a new gig, however, you'll likely struggle to get much visibility as Fiverr slowly gathers data on your gigs performance.

3. Eliminate Competition By Niching Down Your Gigs (The Right Way!)

This might seem like another angle on the last tip, but it's different in the sense that it actually changes your gig's fundamental offer. Most people understand the idea of niching down — in that you're targeting a smaller subset of a bigger market — but few people (especially on Fiverr) seem to execute on this properly.

4. Leverage Your Fiverr Username For A Boost In Search Visibility

If you haven't already started your Fiverr account, or you plan to create a new one for whatever reason, these ones for you. (If you do have an existing account, just skip ahead.) As you've probably guessed by now, Fiverr is heavily reliant on keywords to understand the nature of a gig, whether these words appear in your gig title, description, or tags. What you may not know about this, is that Fiverr caps the number of times you can mention your keyword in your gig.

5. Move Away From $5 Gigs & Raise All Your Package Prices By At Least 50%

If there's one counter-intuitive truth I've learned from my time as a freelancer, it's that charging more money doesn't necessarily cost you sales. In fact, from many of my own "experiments", I've actually found the opposite to be true. Yep, sales increased when I raised my rates. (I've written about this phenomenon before in my Upwork pricing post, and the same principles apply on Fiverr.)

Here's the thing: While you can technically charge as little as $5 for your services, Fiverr has been actively moving away from the $5 marketplace model, and most buyers today will only expect to see that as an absolute minimum.

6. Encourage People To Favorite & Share Your Gigs For A Cheeky Boost In Rankings

You can favorite any gig with a click of a button, either from the search results page or the gig page itself. (As a side note, I actually use this a lot when I'm doing gig research, so I can quickly refer back to gigs I'd like to emulate myself.) The fact that there's a counter on this metric indicates to me that Fiverr uses this as a quality signal, so always encourage people to favorite your gigs... even if they don't place an order.

7. Prevent Negative Feedback With This (Almost) Bulletproof Script

Not so long ago, refunding a client would automatically remove any feedback left by that client, including a negative review. While this was a reasonable trade-off for sellers to maintain ratings on their profile, it didn't exactly leave buyers with an accurate/reliable scoring system. In 2017, Fiverr put an end to all that.

The update meant that once a review is left by a client, it cannot be changed or removed unless it breaks terms of service or the client is willing to modify it — even if you issue a refund. (Personally, I don't think this is the direction Fiverr should be taking to solve the issue, but I digress...) In response to the change, Fiverr sellers now need to be a lot more proactive when it comes to client satisfaction. The trick is to set the right expectations in your delivery message. (As in, the message you send with your attached deliverable.)

8. Inject New Gigs With Targeted Traffic To Generate Engagement

As you know, engagement is one of the fundamental quality signals that determine which gigs rank where on Fiverr. Engagement being anything from:

Favorites

Social shares

Direct messages

Sales

(Basically, anything that pulls someone out of "browsing mode" and gets them to take a specific action.)

9. Create Gig-Specific Bonuses To Boost Client Satisfaction On A Budget

If all you take away from this article is to give an unexpected bonus on every order you get, it'll be worth the weeks I spent writing it. Seriously, this is one of the easiest ways to overdeliver and get clients singing about your services. The reason most people don't do it, however, is that it can be too expensive and time-consuming to come up with a bonus for every new order — especially when you're only making a few bucks on it.

10. Build Up Your Profile Authority To Lift Your Entire Gig Portfolio

This one follows the same principle as the last... with a key twist. While gig authority represents the overall "ranking power" of a gig, profile authority applies at the account-level. It represents your ability to not only get people clicking the buy button, but to also deliver a quality service, on-time and to each and every client's unwavering satisfaction.

Fiverr gauges this through the same quality signals I've been banging on about throughout this entire article.

Best Beauty Blogs You Should Be Following

What would the beauty world be without the best beauty blogs? On the weekend (or whenever—who are we kidding?), we love nothing more than checking out what our favorite influencers are talking about, from the products they're raving about or the makeup tutorials they're loving. While makeup and skincare blogs launch all the time, we continue to go back to certain experts over and over again, whether that's because they've been pillars of the beauty community for a long time or their expert knowledge is simply unprecedented. Because it's rude not to share, we thought we'd let you in on the Byrdie edit of the world's best beauty bloggers.

Why follow: Based in Brighton, Anna is incredibly knowledgeable about skincare (check out her recent glowy skin recipe post) and one of the most organized women I've ever met. She's happy to share all her secrets on her website (her super-helpful morning productivity post isn't to be missed) and YouTube channel.

Finding the perfect shade of lipstick can often feel like an impossible task. That is until you figure out your undertone – it’s the secret weapon to always finding the most flattering makeup color for your skin tone. There are three categories; warm, cool, and neutral. If you’re warm-toned, you’ll typically suit lipsticks that have reddish, peach, orange or even yellowish undertones. Whereas if you have a cool undertone, lipstick with a blue or purple-y tint will be the most flattering. If you’re neutral you’ll probably look great in almost everything.

We know finding the perfect lipstick with the right undertone can be kinda difficult to find, which is why when created our new Matte Power Bullet, we formulated lipsticks in cool and warm-toned categories to make finding the most bomb shade as easy as possible. Although it doesn’t mean you couldn’t wear both, it just makes it easier to find your ultimate hue! If you’re still struggling to determine your ultimate power shade, take our throwback quiz.

DermaFix vs dermavix- Don’t get caught out!

From time to time, brands clash. It’s inevitable when they are everywhere and represent almost everything. What’s important is that a company that finds itself experiencing such a clash sets about making a clear distinction between its own business activities, and those of the competing brand.

In this light, DermaFix Cosmeceutical Skin Care – South African distributor of an extensive range of advanced skincare products to Professional Beauty Clinics, Medi Spa’s, and Aesthetic Clinics – has found itself in the position where it needs to make a distinction between its own brand and that of US-based dermavix.
Ursula Hunt managing director of DermaFix Cosmeceutical Skin Care states categorically that DermaFix will never request private information or banking details from a customer, or trick a customer into setting up a debit order after they have ordered a sample. Further, we will not charge for full products when only sample sizes have been sent, or debit a customer’s account erroneously, and repeatedly, after the placing of such an order. We only require credit card details when a customer indicates that they wish to purchase a DermaFix product, or series thereof, from the DermaFix Online Store.
