The temperature is soaring, the sunscreen is just not doing its job and the water in the fridge is not cold enough to quench the thirst. But this lady won't let the sun go down on her. As model Aditi Govitrikar braces herself for the Mumbai heat, CS gets her talking about her summer strategy over a glass of yummy nimbupani:
WHO: Aditi Govitrikar
WEARING: A Nisshk dress from Fuel
WHAT: Talking about how she plans to beat the heat
WHERE: At her residence
No kidding
I've got a whole lot of activities lined up for the summer with my kids. For starters, I'm getting both Zhianne (3) and Kiara (10) to join swimming classes. Kiara is already quite a swimmer, but I want the little one to make a splash too. And since they're going to have long summer vacations, I have all plans of keeping them occupied.
Kiara will be joining a reading club with my friend's kids. And that's not all, I'm hoping to take the kids to Daman for a weekend and to the Amby Valley for a bit. My parents stay in Panvel, so we'll also be visiting them. But in all this summer frenzy, I also intend to head to Europe on my own. That is surely one of my favourite summer destinations.
Food for thought
Eating right, and eating light is going to be my mantra this season. Even though I don't really believe in dieting, I've never been one for heavy food, simply because it makes me feel lethargic. Ghar ka khana works well for me. But yes, I do plan to consume tons of water and include fluids like nimbupani, lassi and chaas in my diet. And I hope that all this healthy eating reflects on my skin.
Skin deep
I'm not even going to think of stepping out without the sunblock. And I'll reapply it, if I'm supposed to spend long hours in the sun. Luckily, I'm not too fond of make-up, so I don't have to worry about using the right summer foundation, etc. Having said that, I do wear minimal make-up for the evening parties that I attend occasionally.
While a lot of celebs are going short with their hair this summer, I have no intentions of doing anything as drastic. I'm growing it, so I guess I'll just tie it up when I want to beat the heat. And yes, I'll certainly indulge in some spa treatments to pamper myself this summer.
