<p>Kindness never goes out of fashion and is always welcome, in any form or way! To have better relationships, improve self-esteem, gain confidence, happiness, success and even good mental or physical health, one must be kind, both to themselves and others. It's a virtue every religion encourages us to have. And, what better day than World Kindness Day to remember the same and also remind others?&nbsp;</p>

<p>November 13 marks World Kindness Day every year. It was first observed in 1998 and is celebrated annually to remind everyone that what matters the most is how kind, compassionate and humble you are and that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.</p>

<h2>Simple acts of kindness you can do every day</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Give someone a genuine compliment and don't hold back praises</li>
	<li>Buy a bunch of chocolates and give them to kids you meet on the streets</li>
	<li>Pay for a meal for someone in need</li>
	<li>Help someone carry their luggage or grocery bags</li>
	<li>Stop to assist someone with directions if they look lost</li>
	<li>Feed stray dogs and cats</li>
	<li>Leave leftover food for pigeons on your terrace</li>
	<li>Donate money to NGOs and elderly homes</li>
	<li>Volunteer in organisations that offer free services to underprivileged communities</li>
	<li>Offer your seat to an elderly or pregnant woman on a bus, metro or train</li>
</ul>

<h2>Benefits of being kind on one's mental health</h2>

<p>Humans are biologically wired to be kind and one can develop this trait further through practice and self-awareness. But, one must also remember that it is very easy to lose this inherent ability due to outside influences or increased stress levels. If you keep the many physical, emotional and mental benefits of kindness in mind, you might feel more incentified to act a certain way, in future. So, here we have listed the science-backed benefits of being kind on mental health.</p>

<p><strong>Did you know being kind can release feel-good hormones?</strong></p>

<p>Giving someone a helping hand, making donations or simply putting a smile on someone's face with a compliment instantly makes one feel better. That's because being kind and doing nice things for people boosts serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain, which are basically just neurotransmitters that give you the feeling of satisfaction and cause the pleasure/reward centres of your brain to light up.</p>

<p><strong>It can also ease anxiety &amp; stress</strong></p>

<p>Other than meditation, exercise and prescribed medications, being kind is a quality that helps reduce anxiety and stress. And, it won't be wrong to say that it is the most inexpensive way to keep stress and anxiety at bay.</p>

<p>According to a study conducted by the University of British Columbia on happiness, people who engage in kind acts display a significant increase in Positive Affect (PA), which is associated with social anxiety and stress. For those uninitiated, Positive Affect refers to an individual's experience of positive moods such as joy, interest, and alertness.</p>

<p><strong>Kindness is also great for your heart</strong></p>

<p>Several studies suggest that kindness strengthens one's heart physically and emotionally. Being kind to others helps your brain release the oxytocin hormone, which "causes the release of a chemical called nitric oxide in blood vessels, which dilates (expands) the blood vessels and reduces blood pressure".</p>

<p>According to Dr David Hamilton, oxytocin is also known as a "cardioprotective" hormone because it protects the heart by lowering blood pressure.</p>

<p><strong>Want a longer life? Just be kind</strong></p>

<p>Scientifically speaking, being kind to others helps you live longer and there's evidence that proves the same. According to a 2018 meta-analysis published by the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, doing good things for people is an "effective way of improving well-being".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Furthermore, a 2017 study published by Evolution and Human Behavior study stated that people who were&nbsp;voluntary caregivers to others lived longer than individuals who were not.</p>

World Kindness Day 2022: Here's how being kind benefits one's mental health

<p>Dry skin, chapped lips, rough knuckles and windburn? Say hello to the cold and chilly winter season that is all set to trouble us and our skin in the coming months. And, unless you have some expert tips at hand, you can very much expect the changing weather to be taxing for your gorgeous skin.</p>

<p>Your skin needs more moisture, care and love to fight the dryness that comes with the end of the year. And, since WION believes that one shouldn't have to go through a round of trials and errors to perfect their winter skincare routine, we've got the best dermatologists to shell their beauty secrets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking exclusively to WION, three skincare experts shared the best ways to look after one's skin during the cold months. Read on!</p>

<p><strong>Expert 1 - Dr Sonali Kohli, Consultant Dermatologist and Venereologist at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre</strong></p>

<p>"Skincare must be customised every few months to match one's needs and changing seasons. One cannot continue with their summer skincare routine in the colder months. Since your skin tends to feel more dry during winter, one must switch to a thicker and richer moisturiser, keeping their skin type in mind. People who have very oily skin, must use gel-based moisturisers and also look for products that contain lactic acid, as it helps with exfoliation, softens rough or scaly skin and prevents the clogging of pores. People with ultra-dry skin can always look for butter or cream-based moisturisers. Meanwhile, people with combination or sensitive skin can use a water or gel-based light moisturiser, which contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid or scalene," said Dr Kohli.</p>

<p>Speaking of SPF,&nbsp;Dr Kohli shared, "During the winter season, we might feel that the sun is not as prominent as in the summer. Hence, many tend to avoid wearing sunscreen. But, did you know that snow reflects up to 80 per cent of the sun's UV light and the rays hit you twice, which increases your risk of skin cancer and premature ageing? I suggest that you wear broad-spectrum UV sunscreen that has triple plus protection even during winter."</p>

<p>To conclude, the dermatologist shared, "During winter, exfoliating your skin once every ten days is a good idea. You should also use a hydrating sheet mask once every two weeks. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, rose hip oil, shea butter, squalane, vitamin c, and ceramides in your skincare routine and never miss CTM (Cleansing, toning, and moisturising)."</p>

<p><strong>Expert 2 - Dr Nilam Jain Kothari, Consultant Dermatologist at Masina Hospital&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>"Winters are particularly harsh on the skin. Come winters and our OPDs get flooded with patients complaining of dry, flaky skin, chapped lips and sensitive skin. Irritation, inflammation and pigmentation aggravate during winter months giving rise to skin dullness. To tackle most of these issues, I do a couple of things. I look for detergent-free soaps, body washes and face washes to go with my daily skincare. Instead of harsh physical scrubs, I opt for milder chemical exfoliants. Please note that patients with atopic or sensitive skin must&nbsp;avoid exfoliation altogether. Meanwhile, patients going through acne treatments&nbsp;should add a heavy moisturiser to their daily routine and reduce retinoid use or replace it in case of severe dryness," said Dr Kothari.</p>

<p>She continued, "Oils can be added to your daily routine. Try adding bath oils to your shower routine&nbsp;to keep the skin well-balanced and healthy. To get best results, apply moisturisers on wet skin, immediately after taking bath to lock, preferably twice a day. Well-hydrated skin is less prone to relapses of eczema, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis."</p>

<p>"Lips should be well hydrated at all times. So don't forget to use an intense lip balm with an SPF. Sunscreen goes without saying as the sun never takes a vacation. Lastly, drink adequate fluids to keep the skin well-hydrated and healthy from within," she concluded.</p>

<p><strong>Expert 3 - Dr &nbsp;Deepti Ghia, Consultant Dermatologist, Masina Hospital</strong></p>

<p>Revealing her beauty secrets, Dr Ghia shared, "If you have a combination or dry&nbsp;skin type and are using products like retinol, AHA, or BHA, you will have to reduce the frequency of these products or decrease the duration of contact as this can cause excessive dryness. The most important thing about winter is that we all tend to take hot baths in the winter, but that will end up drying your&nbsp;skin even more, so I suggest that you take bath with&nbsp;lukewarm warm and apply moisturiser and body lotion immediately on damp skin."</p>

<p>"For people who are concerned about their dry heels, get your hands on cocoa butter or shea&nbsp;butter. If there are cuts on your heels that bleed, you will have to put an antiseptic ointment on them and then cover them with creams that are rich in moisturisers. Avoid 'lick eczema' by wearing a hydrating lip balm at all times.&nbsp;Another important thing is to avoid toners that have astringents in them as they end up making your skin feel dry and stretched," said Dr Ghia.</p>

Belt or skirt? Diesel's creation worth $1000 leaves netizens confused

<p>Electronic music lovers know the drill: as soon as the DJ turns up the bass, the crowd goes wild and dances with heightened enthusiasm. But to what extent is this a conscious reaction?</p>

<p>Researchers have taken a closer look at the relationship between bass frequencies and dancing, thanks to an experiment conducted during a real-life electronic music concert.</p>

<p>The results, published Monday in the journal Current Biology, showed that participants danced almost 12 per cent more when researchers introduced a very low-frequency bass -- one that dancers could not hear.</p>

<p>"They couldn't tell when those changes happened, but it was driving their movements," neuroscientist David Cameron of McMaster University, who led the study, told AFP.</p>

<p>The results confirm the special relationship between bass and dance, which has never been scientifically proven.</p>

<p><strong>- The pulse of the music -</strong></p>

<p>Cameron, a trained drummer, notes that people attending electronic music concerts "love when they can feel the bass so strong" and tend to turn it up very loud. But they are not alone.</p>

<p>In many cultures and traditions across the world "it tends to be the low-frequency instruments like the bass guitar or the bass drum, that give the pulse of the music" that gets humans moving.</p>

Electronic music lovers know the drill: as soon as the DJ turns up the bass, the crowd goes wild and dances with heightened enthusiasm. But to what extent is this a conscious reaction?

Electronic music lovers know the drill: as soon as the DJ turns up the bass, the crowd goes wild and dances with heightened enthusiasm. But to what extent is this a conscious reaction? Researchers have taken a closer look at the relationship between bass frequencies and dancing, thanks to an experiment conducted during a real-life electronic music concert. The results, published Monday in the journal Current Biology, showed that participants danced almost 12 per cent more when researchers introduced a very low-frequency bass -- one that dancers could not hear. "They couldn't tell when those changes happened, but it was driving their movements," neuroscientist David Cameron of McMaster University, who led the study, told AFP. The results confirm the special relationship between bass and dance, which has never been scientifically proven. - The pulse of the music - Cameron, a trained drummer, notes that people attending electronic music concerts "love when they can feel the bass so strong" and tend to turn it up very loud. But they are not alone. In many cultures and traditions across the world "it tends to be the low-frequency instruments like the bass guitar or the bass drum, that give the pulse of the music" that gets humans moving. "What we didn't know is, can you actually make people dance more with bass?" said Cameron. The experiment took place in Canada, in a building known as LIVElab, which served both as a concert hall and a research laboratory. About 60 out of 130 people who went to see a concert by electronic music duo Orphyx were equipped with motion-sensing headbands to monitor their dance moves. During the concert, researchers intermittently turned very-low bass-playing speakers on and off. A questionnaire filled out by concert-goers confirmed that the sound was undetectable.

Science confirms low-frequency bass makes people groove

<p>If there's one runway-inspired makeup trend that is currently making waves in the virtual world, it has to be 'Butterfly Bridge'. Ethereal, bright, simple, minimalistic and electrifying, all of these terms aptly describe the trend, in which you have to&nbsp;mimic the wings of a butterfly with vibrant colours.&nbsp;Detroit-based fashion label Deviate ignited the trend and later, we saw makeup artist Kabuki bringing them on the runway for the brand's spring/summer 2023 New York Fashion Week debut.</p>

<p>For the look, one has to draw the wings of a butterfly near the crevices of the nose, the inner crescent of the eyes, and&nbsp;toward the inner corners of the brow bone. One must use vibrant eyeshadows to bring attention to the centre of the face and make the most use of the trend.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Kelsey Tucker, creative director of Deviate, and stylist Aryeh Lappin, the look has been inspired by Edvard Munch's painting 'The Scream'. During a conversation with a publication, the creative director described the trend as "1930s film noir and gothic glam" infused with Alexander McQueen's iconic runway beauty moments from the late '90s and early 2000s, reports Allure.</p>

<h2>How to create 'butterfly bridge' look?</h2>

<p>To create your own butterfly bridge makeup look at home, you must first&nbsp;use a primer on your eyelids, followed by a concealer and powder to set everything in place. Next, take any cream eyeshadow to create the illusion of butterfly wings right at the centre of your nose bridge. You can go as big or as small as you want.</p>

<p>Once you have applied the&nbsp;cream pigment, use a pressed pigment eyeshadow in the same colour to intensify certain parts of the wings. Make sure to&nbsp;build up the pigment in the smaller crevices around the eyes and nose. If you don't have a brush,&nbsp;you can use your&nbsp;fingers too.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To achieve the perfect butterfly bridge, you must spend a lot of time blending and layering the product with a small fluffy synthetic eyeshadow brush.

<p>Airbnb is making four changes from next month. Guests would be able to see the total price they are required to pay up front.</p>

<p>Customers would now be able to view full price breakdown with Airbnb's service fee, discounts, and taxes, according to Chesky's tweet.Chesky said that the San Francisco-based company will give priority to the total price in its search algorithm than the nightly fare. He also said that the company would launch new pricing and discount tools.</p>

<p>Addressing customer complaints about guests having to complete checkout tasks, Chesky said guests should not have to do "unreasonable checkout tasks such as stripping the beds, doing the laundry, or vacuuming".</p>

<p>Airbnb, which has lost about 37% of its share value so far this year, has benefited from strong travel demand but now faces risk from a surge in inflation and a strong dollar.</p>

I’ve heard you loud and clear—you feel like prices aren’t transparent and checkout tasks are a pain. That’s why we’re making 4 changes: 1. Starting next month, you’ll be able to see the total price you're paying up front. pic.twitter.com/58zodrzU3g — Brian Chesky (@bchesky) November 7, 2022 × Airbnb is making four changes from next month. Guests would be able to see the total price they are required to pay up front. Customers would now be able to view full price breakdown with Airbnb's service fee, discounts, and taxes, according to Chesky's tweet.Chesky said that the San Francisco-based company will give priority to the total price in its search algorithm than the nightly fare. He also said that the company would launch new pricing and discount tools. Addressing customer complaints about guests having to complete checkout tasks, Chesky said guests should not have to do "unreasonable checkout tasks such as stripping the beds, doing the laundry, or vacuuming". Airbnb, which has lost about 37% of its share value so far this year, has benefited from strong travel demand but now faces risk from a surge in inflation and a strong dollar.

“He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.” This line by John F Kennedy captures the greatness and impact of Churchill's Communication. It will not be an exaggeration if I say, three, just three speeches by Churchill, within a span of a month changed the course of World War two, and in doing so changed the course of the world.

Is your language sticky enough? Three powerful ‘Sticky language’ techniques used by leaders

<p>Can one suffer a stroke while getting their hair washed at a salon? Turns out it is a possibility. A woman in Hyderabad, the capital of the southern Indian state of Telangana, reportedly died of a stroke after she got her hair shampooed at a salon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to doctors, the woman could have suffered a 'beauty parlour stroke syndrome' or vertebrobasilar insufficiency where bending the neck over a hard sink can lead to tearing of arteries, blood clots and strokes.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Dr Sudhir Kumar, senior consultant neurologist, Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad took to Twitter recently to report the incident and said the woman showed dizziness, nausea and vomiting symptoms initially, “which started during her hair wash with shampoo in a beauty parlour”.<br />
<br />
She was “initially taken to a gastroenterologist, who treated her symptomatically”.&nbsp;</p>

Initially, she was taken to a gastroenterologist, who treated her symptomatically.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Medtwitter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Medtwitter</a></p>

<p>However, the expert noted that her symptoms did not improve, and the next day woman developed a mild imbalance while walking. “She was referred for my opinion. She had mild right cerebellar signs. MRI brain revealed infarct&nbsp;in the right posterior inferior cerebellar territory, MR angiogram showed left vertebral hypoplasia," he said.<br />
<br />
The woman was eventually diagnosed with 'beauty parlour stroke syndrome.'<br />
<br />
“A possible mechanism is kinking of the vertebral artery during hyperextension and turning of the neck towards the wash basin while washing hair with shampoo. She had well-controlled hypertension too,” the doctor added.</p>

<p><strong>What is Beauty Parlour Stroke Syndrome?</strong><br />
<br />
The term was first coined by Michael Weintraub in 1993, in the Journal of American Medical Association after observing stroke symptoms in two elderly women after shampoo treatment in a beauty parlour. Salons across the world, typically bend the client's neck backwards while seated on a chair, resting the nape of the neck on the sink in order to wash their hair.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Medically known as Vertebro-basilar insufficiency, the disorder is also referred to as Salon Sink Syndrome and Salon Wash-basin Syndrome.<br />
In 2016, The Guardian reported about a case where a man was paid compensation after he collapsed two days after getting his haircut at a salon in Brighton, UK.<br />
<br />
Symptoms of this syndrome can include severe dizziness, loss of balance and facial numbness. The body part which is under the control of the brain part that does not get oxygen also suffers damage. Not just women, but men too can suffer from this syndrome especially those who go for neck messages.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
However, Dr Kumar noted that stroke affecting vertebro-basilar artery territory can occur during shampoo hair-wash in a beauty parlour, especially in women with other atherosclerotic risk factors and undetected vertebral hypoplasia. “Prompt recognition and treatment can prevent disability," he added.</p>

<p><strong>Should one stop getting a hair wash at salons?</strong><br />
<br />
When asked what people can do to avoid such a stroke, Dr Sudhir Kumar said, “Women don’t have to stop going to parlours or washing their hair there! They can avoid keeping their necks in an awkward hyperextension. Or they can use a towel or for support instead of completely extending their necks. Sometimes these procedures can go on for 30 to 35 minutes, so that can be shortened.”<br />
<br />
In an interview to Self Magazine, Aneesh Singhal, MD, associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and vice chair of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital noted that this type of stroke is not only restricted to hair wash or neck message at salons but can also occur to people when they’re at the dentist, playing tennis, undergoing chiropractic neck manipulation, and even while doing yoga.<br />
<br />
Singhal states that salon&nbsp;visits need not be curtailed but he advised avoiding "activities where the neck would be malpositioned for a long period of time—more than 10 or 15 minutes, but it could be even less."&nbsp;</p>

<p>All of us know what a vegetarian diet means, but some might still have a few doubts about a vegan diet. Veganism&nbsp;might seem similar to vegetarianism but there are a few significant differences that stand them apart. And, what better day than World Vegan&nbsp;Day 2022 to understand this difference?&nbsp;But before we start to learn about veganism, here's a quick fact that will blow your mind!&nbsp;Did you know veganism is said to have existed for more than 2000 years and&nbsp;Pythagoras, the famed Greek mathematician, was a devoted&nbsp;vegan?</p>

<h2>Who are vegans?</h2>

<p>When you eliminate all products derived wholly or partly from animals from your diet, you are said to be a follower of veganism. Whether you make this change due to health concerns, to lose weight or to simply do your part to stop any form of exploitation of animals, you will be called a dietary vegan, which is different from an ethical vegan who&nbsp;not only follows veganism in his diet but also in other aspects of life.</p>

<p>Environmental vegans, on the other hand, are people who believe in&nbsp;creating a sustainable diet that lessens the negative environmental impact of meat production.</p>

<p><strong>Vegetarian</strong> diet is all about eating plant-based food items&nbsp;along with dairy products. Unlike vegans, they can have milk, yoghurt, butter, cream, ice cream, cheese, whey, etc.</p>

<p><strong>Pescatarian</strong> diet refers to people who follow a vegan diet but also eat fish and other seafood items. Their diet&nbsp;includes all types of fish including&nbsp;salmon, mackerel, herring and fresh tuna along with prawns, crabs and other crustaceans.

<p>Iceland's Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir has published her first thriller novel titled 'Reykjavik'. Jakobsdóttir, a crime fiction fan, has reportedly written the book with her close friend Ragnar Ragnar Jónasson, the Icelandic bestselling author of the 'Dark Iceland' series.&nbsp;</p>

The Prime Minister said it was 'liberating to be working on this project during Covid'. The PM said that apart from writing, she doesn't have any other interests.&nbsp;<br />

<p>October 31st is just around the corner. And, we all know what it means! It's time to get our spooky costumes out of our closets and dress up for some trick-or-treating. In no time, we will see the streets getting decorated with pumpkins, nets and inflated vampires. Clubs and restaurants will get filled with smoke machines, photo bars and paint stations. And, not just kids but adults, too, will get to celebrate the secular holiday with their friends and family. But before we get into the holiday mode and start celebrating, let's learn a bit more about its history, significance and more.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>History and significance of Halloween</h2>

<p>The word 'Halloween' can be traced back to medieval Christianity and is a short form of All Hallows' Eve which means hallowed evening. According to one theory, the history of Halloween dates back to a pagan festival called Samhain. The word hallow, which is derived from the Middle and Old English words, means holy. As a noun, it can also mean saint. Back in the day, the Christian holiday we now know as All Saints' Day was called All Hallows' Day, and the day before All Hallows' Day was called All Hallows' Eve. That three-word name eventually got shortened to Halloween.</p>

<p>The ancient Gaelic festival of Samhain, which used to be scheduled every year on November 1 but kicked off the evening before, is regarded as the earliest known root of the secular Halloween traditions. The day marked an important time of year as seasons changed, leaves turned vibrant autumn shades, temperatures dropped, and people started to pull out sweaters and jackets. However, observers also believed that on Halloween, the boundary between this world and the next became thin, enabling spirits from other dimensions to connect with us. This is also where Halloween gained&nbsp;its "haunted" connotations.</p>

<p>During the Samhain festival, the souls of the dead were believed to return to earth to visit their homes. To welcome their loved ones back to their homes, people used to decorate their houses and make delicious food at home. While to scare away evil spirits, people used to&nbsp;set bonfires on hilltops, and they sometimes wore masks and other disguises to avoid being recognized by the evil spirits. People used to dress up as&nbsp;witches, hobgoblins, fairies, and demons to dodge spirits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Over time, as Christianity took over society and the pagan traditions started to disappear, the Wiccan&nbsp;undertones of the holiday reduced while&nbsp;the basic traditions of the holiday remained a part of pop culture. In short, the holiday simply evolved and modernized.</p>

<h2>Some facts about Halloween&nbsp;</h2>

<ul>
	<li>To celebrate Halloween, trick-or-treaters hop from house to house and&nbsp;threaten people that they will pull a harmless trick on them if they do not receive a treat, which is usually chocolate or&nbsp;candy. This tradition dates back to the medieval times</li>
	<li>Back in the 18th century, single ladies used Halloween traditions to find their romantic match. Women used to throw apple peels over their shoulders, hoping to see their future husband’s initials in the pattern when they landed</li>
	<li>Halloween is the second largest commercial holiday in Unites Staes, second only to Christmas</li>
	<li>The origin of the tradition of carving scary faces on pumpkins comes from an Irish myth about Stingy Jack, who tricked the Devil for his own monetary gain and as a result, got sentenced to roam the earth for eternity</li>

Halloween 2022: History, significance, facts and much more

<p>All of us learn a ton of beauty hacks and tricks from social media and every other day, a new viral trend takes over our feeds. But ask yourself, does every hack work or some are gimmicks too? Well, just as any expert would tell you, we shouldn't believe in anything and everything we see online. And, we must take advice from experts before altering our beauty routine.</p>

<p>Over the last few days, 'face taping' has been making waves online. Many believe that it helps with wrinkles and fine lines when left overnight. This beauty guide explores those claims. Read on!</p>

<h2>What is face taping for wrinkles?</h2>

<p>Just as the name suggests, face-taping is all about using sticky tapes to fight fine lines and wrinkles on certain areas of your face. The trend involves using face tapes overnight to constrict muscles and limit their motion, preventing you from making line-inducing expressions in your sleep. It’s also said to reduce lines caused by sleeping on your side and stomach.</p>

<p>Some face tapes are used for an immediate lifting and smoothing effect—like Spanx for your face. Some face tapes give an instant facelift effect while others are used to get results in the longer run.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-viral-crying-makeup-trend-is-all-about-flushed-cheeks-glassy-eyes-and-dewy-base-529107" hreflang="en">Viral 'crying makeup' trend is all about flushed cheeks, glassy eyes and dewy base</a></p>

<h2>Does it actually work?</h2>

<p>After consulting several experts and trying almost every face tape available in the market, we have come to the conclusion that face tape does not work in the long run. They might be able to give you an instant life but it is so cumbersome to use them. You have to wear heavy makeup and wigs to hide them and they can even cause irritation after a few hours.</p>

All of us learn a ton of beauty hacks and tricks from social media and every other day, a new viral trend takes over our feeds. But ask yourself, does every hack work or some are gimmicks too?

All of us learn a ton of beauty hacks and tricks from social media and every other day, a new viral trend takes over our feeds. But ask yourself, does every hack work or some are gimmicks too? Well, just as any expert would tell you, we shouldn't believe in anything and everything we see online. And, we must take advice from experts before altering our beauty routine. Over the last few days, 'face taping' has been making waves online. Many believe that it helps with wrinkles and fine lines when left overnight. This beauty guide explores those claims. Read on! What is face taping for wrinkles? Just as the name suggests, face-taping is all about using sticky tapes to fight fine lines and wrinkles on certain areas of your face. The trend involves using face tapes overnight to constrict muscles and limit their motion, preventing you from making line-inducing expressions in your sleep. It’s also said to reduce lines caused by sleeping on your side and stomach. Some face tapes are used for an immediate lifting and smoothing effect—like Spanx for your face. Some face tapes give an instant facelift effect while others are used to get results in the longer run.

After consulting several experts and trying almost every face tape available in the market, we have come to the conclusion that face tape does not work in the long run. They might be able to give you an instant life but it is so cumbersome to use them. You have to wear heavy makeup and wigs to hide them and they can even cause irritation after a few hours.

<p>Anything and everything can go viral on social media and these days, Gen-Zers are obsessing over the 'sad girl' look, which in turn gave birth to the 'crying makeup' trend across social media platforms.&nbsp;The trend is basically for the fashionistas who love the way they look after an intense crying session. I know, it's weird but it's also trending and has got mass approval. And, to be honest, it doesn't look too bad too and is worth giving a try.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So, let's learn what the trend is about!</p>

<h2>What is 'crying makeup' trend?</h2>

<p>'Crying makeup'&nbsp;is all about creating a soft, ethereal makeup look where the lips seem a little raw, the cheeks and under-eye area look flushed, and the eyes appear glassy. MUAs use coral and red shades to create the 'crying' look and it is always complemented by a dewy base. You can add faux freckles to the look too.</p>

<h2>How to achieve the look?</h2>

<p>To get the 'crying makeup' look, you must start by prepping your face with a hydrating moisturiser, hydrating toner and an extra dewy primer.</p>

<p>Then we have to create a puffy-looking face by applying a ton of blusher on the edge of the lips to create a blurring effect, over the eyelids, under the eyes and on the tip of the nose.</p>

Viral 'crying makeup' trend is all about flushed cheeks, glassy eyes and dewy base

<p>It's official now. Prince Harry's tell-all memoir titled'Spare' will hit the stands in January 2023.&nbsp;Published by Penguin Random House, the book will release on January 10, 2023. The&nbsp;memoir is reportedly the first book in the multi-book deal that Harry has signed with the publishing house. It was initially scheduled to release in late 2022 but was pushed due to Queen Elizabeth II's death in September.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Insiders within the book industry have stated that the prince, reportedly, got cold feet about the contents of the memoir 'at various points' during the process of writing the book.<br />
<br />
The details of Harry's memoir will only be known in January 2023 but it is expected that the Prince will give his point of view on stepping away from royal duties and moving to the US with his wife Meghan Markle and children. The family moved to California in early 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Harry isn't the first member of the royal family to have written a memoir. His mother, the late Princess Diana, his father, King Charles III, his aunt Sarah Ferguson have all written about living a life in the public eye.&nbsp;</p>

It's official now. Prince Harry's tell-all memoir titled'Spare' will hit the stands in January 2023. Published by Penguin Random House, the book will release on January 10, 2023. The memoir is reportedly the first book in the multi-book deal that Harry has signed with the publishing house. It was initially scheduled to release in late 2022 but was pushed due to Queen Elizabeth II's death in September. Insiders within the book industry have stated that the prince, reportedly, got cold feet about the contents of the memoir 'at various points' during the process of writing the book. The details of Harry's memoir will only be known in January 2023 but it is expected that the Prince will give his point of view on stepping away from royal duties and moving to the US with his wife Meghan Markle and children. The family moved to California in early 2021. Harry isn't the first member of the royal family to have written a memoir. His mother, the late Princess Diana, his father, King Charles III, his aunt Sarah Ferguson have all written about living a life in the public eye. We are excited to announce the remarkably personal and emotionally powerful story of Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. SPARE, the highly anticipated #PrinceHarryMemoir, will be published on January 10, 2023.

<p>Best-selling German author Sarah Sprinz's series of young adult books has received a boost from an unlikely quarter: a community of literary enthusiasts on social media platform TikTok.</p>

<p>The #BookTok trend has exploded in recent times, with a growing number of readers posting reviews and engaging with writers, while authors use it to promote their works.</p>

<p>To some, it seems counter-intuitive -- a platform known for short and often light-hearted videos is not the obvious place to encourage an activity like reading that requires deep concentration.</p>

<p>But videos with the hashtag have racked up billions of views, and helped to propel the popularity of some works, while bookshops are rushing to set up stands where creators can film videos.</p>

<p>The trend "is super important for me", Sprinz -- author of the hit "Dunbridge Academy" series, set in a boarding school in Scotland -- told AFP in an interview at the Frankfurt book fair.</p>

<p>"Personally for me, I believe it played a role (in my success), because I have seen a lot of videos recommending my books."</p>

<p>The trend, which often sees creators post emotionally charged reviews of books, has been particularly effective in attracting a new audience of younger readers, said Sprinz.</p>

<p>"I think it is nice that through TikTok, a completely new, younger target audience is becoming aware of reading," said the 26-year-old.</p>

<p><strong>- 'Impact on book sales' -</strong><br />
<br />
According to TikTok -- which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance -- #BookTok has received more than 84 billion video views to date on the platform, and successful genres include romance and fantasy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"#BookTok has become the place for book recommendations and discovery as well as for sharing reviews and tapping into fan culture," said Tobias Henning, general manager, TikTok Germany and Central and Eastern Europe.</p>

<p>It is also "having a real world impact on book sales globally", he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One success credited to #BookTok is that of US author Colleen Hoover's novel "It Ends With Us", which saw sales soar after it gained traction in the community.</p>

<p>A typical review shows a woman sobbing as she reads the novel, with music playing and a voiceover reading, "I've never cried for so long after a book."</p>

<p>With the clout of #BookTok growing, the annual Frankfurt fair, the world's biggest publishing event, has made TikTok a partner for the first time.</p>

<p>Several creators and enthusiasts are also in attendance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I mostly do (Tiktok) content about books, mostly about novels, and I try to upload two videos a week," TikTok user Sofia Reinbold, who came to the fair after reading about it on the platform, told AFP.</p>

<p>The 17-year-old added she had received "feedback from people who have bought books after watching my videos".</p>

<p><strong>- 'Multiplier' effect -</strong><br />
<br />
For Sprinz, the #BookTok phenomenon is driven by the fact that TikTok is a visual platform, allowing people to show how they feel about a book.&nbsp;</p>

<p>And people being stuck at home during the coronavirus pandemic may have accelerated the trend. &nbsp;</p>

<p>"A lot of people perhaps felt a bit lonely and isolated," she said, adding it was a good platform "to network again and find common hobbies like reading".</p>

<p>She also downplayed the suggestion there was somehow a contradiction between spending more time on social media and trying to promote literature, noting that people read in different ways nowadays, including on e-books and smartphones.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But social media alone "cannot make a successful book", she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"TikTok and #BookTok are a kind of multiplier, and a good opportunity to pass on recommendations for books."</p>
