Jewelsify for the women of today!!

Fashion February 18, 2016

Team ChicLifeByte was recently invited for the launch of Jewelsify’s new diamond jewellery at Grub House in Rajouri Garden. It’s truly said “Diamond are women’s best friend”, how would they not be? They give us an aristocrat feel! How we all feel blue blooded! So without thinking much, I accepted the invitation and headed towards the place.

As I entered the place, I saw the funny quotes on wall which certainly uplifted my mood! No really I mean it! I realized the soothing place is great to have a gala time. I looked around towards the crowd, and saw there were many people around, mostly ladies and how can ladies say no when it is about diamonds!

Junkyard Café: A Funk Place made out of Junk

Food February 17, 2016

Can you imagine a hip & happening place made out of junk? Even we could not imagine a place like this until reality hit us! Yes, we saw a place made out of junk and the name is true to its description, it’s called Junkyard Café. A brainchild of Umang Tewari who also owns Vault Café, Café Public Connection, Garam Dharam and the recently opened 3 Pegs Down.

The place spread over 13000 sq. ft transported us to a different space altogether. The luxurious and spacious cafe nestled in heart of the capital – Connaught Place had pillars covered with tyres & drawers, seats made of car engine, drums, bamboo, chipboard etc. That’s not all, the place also has a picture of Mona Lisa made out of scrap. A transformer stands out boldly at one of the entrance. On the walls, we could see cycle wheels, broken rear view mirror. Infact, even the bar had colourful drums and old tyres. Another thing which caught our attention was an Aircraft with Junkyard branding. Lights made of cut wine bottles, ceiling made of 8000 empty bottles. Oh! How could we miss the broken motorcycle which made for the perfect picture spot. Junk be utilised, and that too in the most beautiful way is quite evident at Umang’s Junkyard. Junkyard Cafe is one of those places in India which are concept driven. It brings out raw junk world which is grungy, contemporary and at the same time very exclusive!!

Being a travel enthusiast, Airport is one of my favourite spot 🙂 And airport isn’t only about aircrafts or flights but a lot of other interesting things….like shopping and food!! Team ChicLifeByte did give you a review of Delhi Duty Free a few days back and this time it’s about food. So while I was taking a flight from Terminal 3, I stopped by at Plaza Premium Lounge of the Indira Gandhi International Airport situated on Level 1 of the airport (the same level where you have the food courts) post collecting my boarding pass and clearing security check.

Essence of Greek Mythology with Organic Harvest

Beauty February 15, 2016

How many of us dream of skin like Cleopatra? Are you one of those too? Beauty of Queen Cleopatra intrigued many men and women for centuries and Team Chiclifebyte have taken a step to make your dreams come true! We were recently invited for a bloggers meet by a brand called Organic Harvest, India’s only homegrown brand with an entire range of organic skin care products which speak of nature in its purest form.

Organic Harvest started in 2013 which specializes in hair care, body care and skin care products that are safe and highly effective. The launch that we were invited for was for the launch of Activ Range which has 7 variants. The Activ range has effortlessly captured the essence of Greek Mythology with organic flower & fruit extracts as principal ingredients. We were quite impressed seeing the range in its fresh packing in green. It did lift up our mood. The hydration range comes with a moisturizer, gel and serum while the retention range comes with a serum and cream. We got to know “Initially, the ‘activ’ range was created to bring back the naïve elements used during the Greek mythology era. The “Back2origin” completely justifies this activ range as they literally went back into the history and after a thorough and intensive research of 2 years, the true potential of these highly impressive actives have been beautifully brought together, in seven variants, to cater all types of skin ailments”.

Restaurant Review: Quaff, DLF Cyber City

Food February 13, 2016

Looking for a place to enjoy a relaxing evening after a long, hectic day at work… a day of celebration… or simply for a change from the oh-so-typical hangouts in NCR… Quaff is the place to be. Situated aptly distant from the hustle-bustle and providing you and your gang your space, this place is a must checkout for its offerings.

Accommodating 40-50 outside and an approx. 125-130 inside, the space can be soon known as your “adda” going forward. The seating outside is casual and inside more chic and retro (all hard-wood seating without cushion needs a mention though!).

The first thing you notice once inside is their big bar counter, almost extending from one end to the other, hosting an elaborate assortment of international spirits. (And, by elaborate, I really mean elaborate – You can actually gasp looking at such a collection. Hats off to the creator!). Right behind the bar is the microbrewery made well visible via a big see-through glass, just to give you a feel that you are at the right place to Quaff. The place has been designed so as to accommodate the maximum without giving a house-full cluttered feel. Each sitting place has a uniqueness of its own. The lighting is apt – not too low for you can’t recognize who’s sitting next to you and not too harsh that you wear your shades inside and not seem out of the crowd. All in all, a decently built place.
