Diwali, a festival symbolising the victory of light over darkness, is all set to greet us in a few days. The anticipation for this festival remains huge as people start shopping for festive needs. Some go for expensive iPhones, some purchase massive accessories, some spend on their appearance and so on. Diwali mania has always been spectacular in India with everyone fulfilling their wishlist. As someone who cares for you, we at zarooribaathai.in have shed light on the importance of money, beauty and health this Diwali. Let’s do a deep dive now.
Up Your Financial Management This Diwali
Diwali is one festival where we love to spend on almost everything to make it memorable. But remember, there’s a life to live afterward, which perhaps holds more relevance for us to thrive. Preparing a festive budget while considering your income and existing liabilities will hold the key. There will be temptations to breach the budget as impulsive purchase intentions can arise during festivals such as Diwali. Here are a few tips for strong financial management during festivities.
Don’t Take Loans That You Will Find Hard to Repay
It’s important to use savings for festive requirements rather than taking a loan to meet the purpose. However, accumulating the desired savings for festive requirements may not be possible in everyone’s case. So, you might have to take a loan to meet the requirements. Don’t take loans at a higher interest rate. It will not only keep the loan EMIs higher but also make you pay a lot more than when the credit comes at a lower interest rate. Search for interest-free EMI options available on your credit card. This option allows you to buy your stuff and pay for it in EMIs free of interest, saving you bucks and peace.
Resist Your Temptation to Buy Too Much on a Credit Card
Credit cards mean the freedom to purchase anything, anywhere and anytime. Such freedom often leads to a debt trap that is hard to recover from. You not only go on to impair your credit score by utilising too much of the credit card limit, you raise liabilities with no bounds. Keep a lid on unnecessary credit card expenses to reduce your debt and feel comfortable paying the bill.
Feel and Look Like Princess This Diwali
Most parts of India experience cold weather while Diwali is on. During this time, most girls and women face dry skin issues, chapped lips, flaky skin and several other problems. So, to make this Diwali a grand affair, look top-notch using these tips.
Cleanse Your Skin
Use a gentle cleanser to cleanse your face and allow a fresh base for your makeup to set in.
Say NO to Dead Cells with Exfoliation
Exfoliation is the key to achieving flawless skin no matter the weather conditions. Use the right exfoliator to remove dead cells and get refreshing skin.
Hydration is the Key
Choose a serum or moisturiser based on your skin type to hydrate it from within. It will help you overcome dry skin issues and enjoy Diwali celebrations.
Don’t Compromise on Health This Diwali
‘Health is Wealth’ – a phrase we keep hearing and ignoring, maybe not all, but most of us. Prioritise your health this Diwali to enjoy the festival and the days after it. Here’s a quick rundown of the healthcare tips you must follow this Diwali.
Say NO to Firecrackers
A lot of advisories have been issued by the government regarding the health perils posed by burning firecrackers. Pollution levels surmount to a level that is detrimental to one’s health. For example, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi-NCR during Diwali remains above 200, adversely impacting the health of people in the region. AQI needs to be below 100 to be considered safe for humans. Burning of firecrackers leads to emissions of harmful pollutants, causing eyeburn, constant cough and breathing problems. Take a pledge to light your homes with Diyas and say NO to firecrackers for a better environment and a better YOU!
Keep a Check on What You Eat
Diwali means lots of food for us to eat. Depending on each family’s rituals, there can be sweets, vegetables and a lot more other stuff. Spicy food can always be the case. But if you are someone facing constipation issues, stay away from spicy stuff. Have light food so that you can be with your family most of the time instead of being in a loo.
Conclusion
Let this Diwali be grander in every aspect, be it financially, appearance or health-wise. Prioritise each of them to celebrate arguably the biggest festival of India with zest. From all of us at zarooribaathai.in, we wish everyone a HAPPY and PROSPEROUS Diwali!
