Coolpad launches Note 5 Lite in India: Chota Packet Bada Dhamaal

Lifestyle March 21, 2017

Have you wished for a small little device which is your bundle of joy which encapsulates anything and everything you need. If yes, there is someone who has heard you! NO NO, it’s not only God but a cool brand called Coolpad which has made it possible! Team ChicLifebyte recently got to know about the cool device called Coolpad Note 5 Lite which is themed around Small Packs It All. Yes, its power packed and has all the features which a big phone would have. Remember the big phones which were a rage at a certain point of time but we ditched those bulky creatures for sleeker smarter versions. However now is the time to go small. When big bags are turning into clutches, where do we have the space to store the big gadgets or the power banks and the USB cord! You would not need all of this if you get your hands on the new device!

My Style with Miway Fashion: ChicLifeByte’s outfit partner for Thailand!

Fashion March 19, 2017

This new year, we thought of exploring a new country with a new passport (got it renewed last year) in a new style and that’s when I logged on to Miway Fashion, obviously after doing my tickets and accommodation! It was time to explore Thailand, a country known for tourist sports, beaches and loads of shopping. Obviously if we were travelling that far we wanted to explore much more than one city and we decided to explore Bangkok, Pattaya as well as Phuket. Now with so much to explore we needed different kind of outfits, obviously because some evenings were supposed to be on the beach while some days were to be spent shopping while some time were dedicated to adore the scenic beauty of the land and city hopping was also in our to-do list!!

End of a hectic week with a relaxing evening at Taksim

Food March 14, 2017

Ansal Plaza had become nostalgia! It was our hub during school days for every need, whether it was about hanging out with friends at a nice café/restaurant or shopping. Gradually, it lost its charm to other fancy malls and in no time we forgot our favourite place.

Recently I got to know about a new eatery called Taksim which opened up at this place which was our so called ‘adda’ at some point of time! I could not resist myself as I finally reached Ansal Plaza on a Friday evening to get the same feel I used to get years back and to try the new eatery!

Food March 12, 2017

10th to 12th February 2017 was known as the foodies weekend coz there were 4 food festivals taking place in Delhi NCR.

Held at Nehru Park, it opened doors from 11 AM to 11 PM from Feb 10 to 12, 2017.

So Team ChicLifeByte with an empty stomach went ahead to explore the culinary delights from the best of the restaurants under the open sky! The big wide lawn with colourful branding of the fest welcomed us whole-heartedly!

Thank You Cleartrip for taking us to the land of scenic beauty, beaches and shopping!

Travel February 27, 2017

This New Year brought alive new hopes in me and the travel bug in me was getting restless. That’s when I decided that I should explore a new country with a new passport (got it renewed last year). Excited to get the first stamp in the new notebook of my travel stories, the passport, I decided to book my ticket to the country of scenic beauty, beaches and shopping! Now, the big question was how I book my ticket. Parents would still suggest the age-old option of travel agents but I wanted a trip on my own terms and conditions according to my own itinerary keeping it quick and simple and decided on Cleartrip.com!

Oriflame’s EcoBeauty: Rediscover naturally radiant skin

Beauty February 23, 2017

What happens to your skin when you travel or when the season changes? It becomes itchy, harsh and rough. When I travelled from Delhi to Thailand, my skin experienced similar ailments. To protect it from sudden season change (Delhi being cold at that moment to Thailand being pleasant), I had Oriflame’s Eco Beauty range to my rescue which is made from natural ingredients like cornflower sunflower, rose chamomile, evening primrose oil, aloevera, lingonberry and sea buckthorn to protect your skin. Launched in January 2017, it aims at protecting and keeping the skin natural and glowing.

Identifying the Unobvious with Coolpad Cool 1

Lifestyle February 21, 2017

We are all used to believing what we see. At times we see things which are difficult to believe!

When I got the revolutionary phone Coolpad Cool 1, I didn’t want to capture only the obvious things but something unobvious. Afterall we can’t waste the great features of the device capturing only the usual or obvious but something different where it’s difficult to believe what we see! So while I was in Thailand to enjoy my vacation full of sightseeing, shopping and adventure activities, I escaped from Bangkok to Pattaya to hop on to Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Though I have experienced the place during my visit to London as well but it’s always fun to revisit the facts and pen them down so that we know what people around the world have been upto!

Select CITYWALK: Not only a shoppers paradise but a foodies paradise too!

Food February 17, 2017

Who doesn’t like to go for a shopping spree? It would be any girl’s dream to spend a day at a premium shopping center like Select CITYWALK amongst the national and international brands it offers. For me, my retail therapy usually ends with food therapy and while we go mad selecting the right dress or the right attire for an upcoming event or occasion, it is important to get the right fuel for your body! And that’s when we head to the superior restaurants here. Select CITYWALK gives us a choice between Confectionary, Cafes and Fine Dining restaurants which I think is great because we always have either a little hunger and do not want something too heavy while at times we are completely done with our shopping hauls and want a nice relaxing comfortable meal at a fine dining restaurant. So, lets see what the place holds for us. The food selection is divided in 3 heads:

Holiday Inn Phuket: A vibrant property with a buzzing surrounding

Travel February 10, 2017

After Bangkok, our next destination was Phuket, a rainforested, mountainous island in the Andaman Sea which is known for popular beaches, old shophouses and busy markets. We chose Patong the main resort town to host us which is an area full of life, thanks to the great hotels, nightclubs, bars and discos.

Holiday Inn Resort Phuket, located at the buzzing Patong beach area became our place. As I entered I loved the open lobby concept! Quirky colour elements were added to the couches as well as the celling. The resort well illuminated at the entrance welcomed us whole heartedly. With 29 years of experience in providing genuine Thai Service, Holiday Inn Resort Phuket has built a strong reputation on an Oasis in the heart of bustling Patong. The best part, Patong Beach was only a few seconds away! Not only the Beach but even shopping was also a walk away which include Jungceylon Shopping Mall and other leisure destinations.
