Udaipur is known for many things, where royalty and grandeur top the list, but now we can proudly say that the feathers of innovation and technological advancements have also been added to our hat. There is particularly one product launched by a Udaipur-based company that has caught our eye. This company is making sure that Udaipur’s claim to prominence expands beyond culture and heritage.

Italica Furniture

Behold the innovative – Spine Care Chair 2109 that has become quite a rage across the country. It is a plastic chair that many furniture designers worldwide are beginning to acknowledge as the cutting edge of modern plastic chair design. PIL Italica Lifestyle Ltd., an NSE/BSE listed plastic furniture and material handling products manufacturing company, based in Udaipur, designed this excellent injection-moulded plastic chair in association with a team of Italian designers and engineers.

Why is Spine Care Chair 2109 so Unique?

You must be wondering why this chair is so unique?  Well, it takes care of your back in all its glory.
So, let’s take a closer look at how the Spine Care Chair 2109 is the best pick for you to reduce any back pain issues you face due to the work-from-home scenario lately.

A One-of-its-kind Monobloc Plastic Chair offering flexible backrest in India:

Plastic furniture is manufactured using injection-molding technology. It is a moulding technique formerly limited to making solely rigid objects with no mechanical components. However, with the Spine Care chair, Italica’s designers and engineers have raised the bar by moulding a chair with flexible back support that moves with your spine for the first time in the world. Even if you move your body back and forth while sitting on this chair, the back support will remain attached to your spine. This chair’s flexible spine to upper back support makes it particularly pleasant to sit in for lengthy periods. The doctors tested and recommended the spine care chair, making it an even more reliable option for back pain relief.

Curved Design for Back Support:

It is indeed a one-of-a-kind plastic chair with a dramatically curved backrest. It combines executive office chair comfort with a wonderfully streamlined design. This colourful chair may be used as a focal point in any location, including the home, office, café, or restaurant.

Intricate yet Unbending Design:

It appears to be an elegantly crafted plastic chair at first glance. When you watch closely, though, you can see how a combination of complex design and material-technical work together to achieve extraordinary aesthetics and strength.

Benefits of the Spine Care Chair

All the spine care chairs have been tested to withstand a weight of 150 kg. It also has a UV coating all around the body that keeps the colour from fading.
This incredible product has re-established Udaipur as a place that is more than just a tourist destination. It’s no longer only the City of Lakes. The city is proud to present the Spine Care Chair, the most advanced plastic chair our nation has ever seen.

In the current scenario where people are engrossed with the Work from Home routine, the Spine Care Chair has proven to be a lifesaver. It is a trending piece of furniture, especially gaining popularity among the millennials. The content creators on various Social Media platforms are referring to the Spine Care Chair with the hashtag #itsamillennialthing.

The Spine Care Chair is the epitome of style, practical use, as well as comfort. Its raised design has proven to correct your posture while sitting for long hours during work from home or in the office. The chair is made up of high virgin plastic with a toughened matte finish for a stylish look.

The chair was launched in December 2019 and has gained a lot of exposure since its inception. Within a year after its launch, the Spine Care Chair took over the furniture industry in India, and the sales took a hike to 25,000 units per month. It is a hot-selling product on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Pepperfry, and Flipkart. If you want to bring the Spine Care chair home, go to Italica’s website to receive the best pricing and free home delivery anywhere in India.

Fun & Productive Activities to Keep you Busy While Staying Indoors

fun activities during lockdown

Although there is a partial unlock process going on in our city, we are still encouraged to stay at home for as long as we can. There are multiple things you can do while staying indoors if you are not feeling social yet. In between staying at home and managing your daily chores, you must get a little bored while staying put in your homes. Missing going out with your friends to have a cold coffee at Fatehsagar or sit around at Ganguar Ghat and peacefully see the water flow by? Well, since we can’t go out right now due to obvious reasons, you can always do something fun and productive at home to pass your time and take your mind off the constant news and updates of Coronavirus rolling on news channels and social media platforms.

Are you at a loss for what to do right now? If you have exhausted your Netflix selections and the prospect of spending another day on the couch browsing memes is too much to bear, it is time to shake things up and get your creative juices flowing. In the midst of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, 2021 looks bleak, and as we continue to navigate the state’s final lockdown, it can feel as if you’re being grounded for some reason. Staying at home may be restricting, but it does not have to be boring – there are plenty of enjoyable and productive activities you can do to pass the time, from keeping your health in check, learning a language to organising your closet, updating your CV to writing a novel – why not start right now?

Here are some productive yet fun things you can do at home during the pandemic:

1. Set Goals

Progress is what productivity is all about; it is about breaking down our long-term goals into everyday action so we can grow and improve. There are goal-planning journals and notebooks for everything from housekeeping, exercise, and diet to business and life goals, depending on what you want to achieve. Get a planner for yourself, set your routine, and most importantly – Stick by it!

2. Learn a Language

Remember how you said you would learn Italian, Spanish, or French but couldn’t seem to find the time? Now is your time to shine. Why not utilise this time to learn an entirely new language? There are plenty of YouTube videos and online lessons available. It is so important to learn how to say or pronounce some basic words in different languages so that we don’t make a fool of ourselves whenever we have a chance to go to a foreign country or even a restaurant serving international cuisines. Watch the video to learn how to say “Hello” in different languages.

3. Clean/Organize your Wardrobe

Clutter can easily accumulate in our homes as a result of our fast-paced occupations and hectic lifestyles, but it’s actually easier than you may think to keep everything clean and well-organised. Dedicate time and attention to sorting your clothes, decluttering your home, getting rid of pieces of clothing you haven’t worn in six months, and organising your clothes into groups, so they are simpler to find in the morning. Well, this your chance to utilise your free time to organise your clothes and sort them out once and for all.

4. Get Yourself into Reading

Reading has a plethora of advantages. There are many possibilities available to you whether you want to increase your vocabulary, learn something new, escape to other realms, or relax. Don’t know where to begin? Check out the books written by our very own authors from Udaipur. Please give them a read and let us know what you think about them.

5. Give Your House a Cleaning Session

Cleaning is not only beneficial, but it may also be soothing. You know what they say: a tidy room equals a tidy mind! Just answer honestly, when was the last time you had a good old cleaning session with your mother and father? Probably around Diwali when your mom makes sure you dust all the fans and clean every petty inch of your house. Taking a few hours to clear up a crowded room or office is not exactly the definition of “fun,” but you might be surprised at how useful a quick cleaning session can be. In fact, every time you clean up clutter or unneeded paperwork, take out the trash or sweep the kitchen floors, you may be contributing to a healthier and happier you. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t have OCD or something!

6. Indulge yourself in Cooking

Well, we saw a lot of people cooking this lockdown and posting delicious-looking dishes on social media, didn’t we? So, how about trying our hands on cooking while we have all the free time in the world! You can start with the basics and work your way up to star dishes with the help of a plethora of recipe books or cooking videos available on the internet. If you didn’t fully perfect your cooking abilities during the first coronavirus lockdown, it’s time to give it another shot and start from the beginning. Check out our list of the finest food delivery services in Udaipur if you want a safe and hygienic tiffin service for the people suffering from Coronavirus.

7. Make a Bucket List

Make a bucket list to help you stay happy and look forward to brighter days. Instead of sulking in your pyjamas for the sixth day in a row (we’ve all been there), shift your perspective and consider all the things you’ll be allowed to do once all the limitations are lifted. We hope you will come up with some interesting travel ideas.

8. Plant a Kitchen Garden

Plant a herb garden with those green fingers – there’s nothing like cooking with fresh ingredients. Growing your vegetables not only provides fresh produce but also aids in mental relaxation. Drill holes in the sides of a bucket with a cover so that you can hang them on the walls.

 

9. Exercise/Yoga

Squats, burpees, and press-ups are all exercises that may be done at home without using any equipment. Stretch out in your lounge by converting it into a yoga space. You can even indulge yourself in doing simple yoga poses such as Suryanamaskar. Whether it’s your balcony or terrace, find an open, breathable space to do yoga early in the morning and then some stretching exercises to keep your body in check. Getting up in the morning and doing exercise will energise you and help you with an early start which will be good for a change.

10. Baking!

For all the sweet tooths out there, go indulge yourself in some baking and eat delicious cakes, cookies, and pastries at home. You don’t need many ingredients for most of the items. Lockdown and chocolate go hand and hand, so give in to your temptation and try your hand at baking. For starters, you can make chocolate cake from Oreo biscuits and do the icing by melting the dark chocolate bars that are easily available at the stores selling essential items during the lockdown.

 

 

Embark on a creative process of indulging yourself in fun and productive activities during this lockdown. Try new stuff, go beyond your comfort level, and trust us, you’ll be amazed at how good you are at the things you never thought you’d do. However, the most important thing to spend some time with your family. Reflect on your lifestyle and see what changes you want to implement to make it better. Let’s make the best out of the lockdown this year!

Everyday a Cheat Day during Lockdown? Know all the Diet Mistakes you are making while Working from Home!

Sticking to a healthy routine can be tough business when you are home and are glued to your couch for pretty much the whole day. Our normal routine has been turned upside down due to the nationwide lockdown. Many people are working from home, and no one is going out to eat, which could indicate one of two things. Either you eat nutritious, home-cooked meals, or you cook only to fulfil your fast-food cravings. While cooking at home is a smart option on any given day, you must be cautious about what you put on your plate. Whether you work from home or in an office, there are certain dos and don’ts to remember when it comes to diet.

Whether you work from home or in an office, there are certain dos and don’ts to remember when it comes to diet. So, let’s find out the basic tips and tricks you should follow to keep your body active and healthy during this lockdown.

Not Drinking Water/Keeping yourself dehydrated.

It is critical for your body to stay hydrated. Because we are not sweating as much during the lockdown due to the restricted time, many of us avoid water. Water deprivation can also lead to overeating. Water replaces empty calories while also suppressing hunger, causing you to eat less. It also boosts your metabolism, which helps you lose weight. So bottom line, try to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water every day to keep yourself super hydrated.

Overloaded Carbs!

If you have packed your pantry with instant noodles, chips, and namkeen, you might want to keep note of how many carbs you consume on a daily basis. Excess carbohydrate consumption may result in weight gain. Furthermore, carbohydrates are absorbed too quickly, leaving you hungry too soon, prompting you to go for another food. You can easily come up with a diet plan that makes you feel full and does not let you think again and again about that hot chocolate lava cake every time you sit to work. Calculate your carbs wisely; while they are an important part of your diet and help you gain energy, having them in the whole form as well as in excessive amount can be a bad deal.

Eating without any schedule

Munching during the wee hours of the night while binge-watching Netflix is not going to help you stay fit in any way. We take frequent food breaks in between countless calls, lounging on your couch, and staring at your laptop. While snacking is beneficial in that it serves to fuel and energise our bodies, excessive and unhealthy eating can have a negative impact on our diet. It’s also a good idea to put down your laptop and go for a short stroll or indulge in some little physical activity in between. You can have a fixed time for snacking and replace your snacking options from fritters to healthy items such as fibre cookies, nuts, etc.

Liquid Calories

Have you stocked up on cola drinks, carbonated beverages, and store-bought juices? It’s a good idea to learn how to regulate your portions. The majority of these drinks are high in calories, and some even include additional sugar, which can completely derail your weight-loss efforts. Instead of these packed juices, you can opt for fresh Nimbu Shikanji or a glass of fresh orange juice for a refreshing start on these sunny days.

Consuming Foods that are Loaded with Sugar

It’s simple to grab a cookie or a chocolate bar, but it’s much more difficult to lose those additional pounds. Sugar is not healthy for our bodies; too much sugar leads to fat storage, and this is the kind of fat that is difficult to shed. If you are craving anything sweet, you can always grab one apple or have something made of jaggery to help you maintain a balance throughout the day.

Indulging Mostly with Fried Foods or Fritters

Deep-fried bread pakodas, kachoris, and samosas should be saved for exceptional occasions; if you’re willing to lose weight during the lockdown, they can’t be your breakfast every day. “Is it raining outside? Let’s make some Pakodas with Chai while we sit on the balcony to enjoy the rain.” Are you thinking the same? While it is not wrong to fulfil your cravings every now and then, you can try and avoid deep-fried items and replace them with a healthier option. For instance, you can make some papdi chat or sprouts with sprinkled herbs to have the same tangy taste while you enjoy the rain.

Forgetting About the Existence of Fruits

Diet Mistakes you are making while Working from Home!

If you’re hunting for the most delicious snack in your fridge (which hasn’t appeared yet after looking for at least 10 times in merely an hour), don’t forget to include fruits in your diet. Grab an orange or an apple from the fridge instead of searching for a chocolate bar that you already finished the other day and haven’t restocked yet! Fresh, seasonal fruits are high in antioxidants, which can help strengthen your immune, restore important nutrients in your body, keep your skin healthy, and help you lose weight.

Skipping Meals!

Making time to eat is vital because missing meals can reduce blood sugar and energy levels. You don’t really want to lose track of mealtimes and end up munching all day, especially when the fridge and pantry are so close to you at home. You don’t need to worry about anything if you eat the right thing and at the right time. Well, the dieticians simply suggest you set a mealtime every day and make sure you stick to it no matter what. This will help you reduce your overeating habit and stop you from snacking all day and at odd hours because you will already be satisfied with the meal you had earlier.

 

So, the bottom line is to take care of your food intake during the pandemic and maintain a healthy diet plan. Do exercise at home whenever you get the time and try sitting on a desk or chair rather than slouching on with the laptop in your lap. Remember to accept yourself the way you are! Cheers to a healthier lifestyle!

Treat Yourself Right With These Pedicure Tools

Pedicure Tools

With frequent walking and inadequate skincare, our feet appear to get rough. And, staying inside for weeks might have led your toenails to look a little less than their best. If you are yearning for that smooth feeling that a good pedicure leaves you with, get your pedicure gear in motion. It is possible to get a professional-seeming pedicure without stepping outside, with all the essential pedicure tools at home.

The first step to giving yourself a perfect pedicure at home comprises some basic dos and dont’s.

Given below are steps to get dainty looking feet in no time:

Gather the Essential Pedicure Tools

Make sure that your pedicure kit tools are up-to-date. For an at-home pedicure, you should have the following pedicure tools:

  1. Nail clipper and file
  2. Nail polish remover
  3. Cuticle pusher
  4. Nail buffer
  5. Pumice stone
  6. Exfoliating Scrub and foot mask
  7. Cuticle nippers and toe separator

Trim Your Toenails

Using a straight nail clipper, create a straight line, and avoid ingrown toenails. Once done, file the toenails smooth in one direction. 

Go Gentle on Cuticles

Repeat less is more as a mantra while treating your cuticles. Be gentle with your cuticle pusher while using it. Push back any waxy build-up on your natural toenail plate and clear the cuticle area. This pedicure tool detaches cuticle build-up from the natural nail. It also helps nail polish stay longer on your nails. After this step, use the cuticle trimmer and trim only the dead skin.

Exfoliate Rough Heels

Start by soaking your feet to soften and help remove dead skin. Using your foot file, buff the rough areas of the feet. Focus on the cracks of the heel edges since calluses tend to occur there.

Treat Feet to a Foot Mask

An essential pedicure tool, the foot mask, helps to extend the life of your baby-soft skin days after a pedicure. For dry feet, opt for a moisturizing mask that will nourish your skin on the soles and leave them silky-smooth. Soak your feet for an extra ten minutes for added relaxation after rinsing off the mask.

Base Coat is a Must

Always follow the rule of using a base boat before coloring your nails. Do not skip this step as it prevents chipping and yellowing nails caused by using dark nail polishes. It does not take more than a few extra minutes for application.

Apply Nail Polish

Toes are a great place to play with bolder nail polish shades as you can hide them if required. There are nail polish trends that range from bright colors to subtle ones and then there is nail art too. You can always go for a pop of color that looks good on all skin tones. Otherwise, if you prefer to keep things classic, sheer nude color is a safe bet. Make sure not to apply a thick layer and instead layer on thin coats with adequate time in between for drying. Doing so will provide you with perfectly polished nails without scratches or marks.

Seal Your Color 

To ensure that your nail polish does not chip off easily, always apply a long-wear top coat. This hack will keep your toenails shiny for a long time.

Do Not Forget Cuticle Oil 

If you want strong and healthy nails, cuticle oil is key. Always remember to apply some of it after painting your nails.

Give yourself a salon-worthy pedicure at home by following this regime and treat your feet right. It is essential to maintain proper foot health. And, to ensure that nothing hampers your at-home pedicure, make sure that you have the latest pedicure kit tools. If you want a variety of options to choose from, opt for luxury brands like Vega. They have all the newest pedicure tools with variations like their 4-in 1 pedicure tool product and pumice stone and brush in one product.

When Empathy is Uneducated!

when empathy is uneducated

Pandemics and epidemics, when they took place in history, have evidently caused unimaginable harm to the healthcare sector, governments, and economies in the countries all over the world. And we are living in history itself now due to the coronavirus pandemic. lockdown all over the world has cost people their jobs, their health, their savings, and everything that ensures one’s survival! But the most unaddressed and hush-hush aspect has been that of the mental health of people all around the world. It is now emerging as an important situation when the damage has been done! Well, India saw many deaths during this time of the pandemic, directly and indirectly. And one such being suicides, the direct result of damaged mental health that is anxiety and depression and indirect result of mass unemployment, starvation, domestic violence, inability to repay loans, poor coöperation from the government, etc. India has some shocking statistics around suicides. India has the highest suicide rates in South East Asia with 300 suicides every 24 hours. Globally it takes 20 attempts per completed suicide according to WHO. The situation is more critical than we think.

 Of course, now that yesterday’s incident and many such incidents of Bollywood stars committing suicide suddenly make it a trending topic all over the internet but the consistency of the conversation around suicides that we need to have, to find the solution, never sustains a day or two! That is where we lack, our drawback as a human, we are uneducated about empathy! 

“Suicide”, reading the word alerts but seldom does anyone talk about it. And then it happens around us, anytime, revises itself through anyone, shatters, triggers awakens us by making someone sleep forever!

It is the most unaddressed topic that people are succumbing to. And when it comes to being discussed, you criticize the condition of depression as if it is written on a paper, you’ve read it and you know everything about it. Actually, depression is nothing but a blank sheet of paper. It can’t be expressed in words. It’s camouflaged beautifully in Smiles, Laughs, and humor until it unfolds as a disaster around you.

It’s not about the final act of killing oneself because it’s barely complete on its own. It’s a whole trail of actions and thought processes and there’s a whole set of obnoxious experiences that carries a person towards taking such a tragic step.

But we are wary, the media is wary, our parents, our friends, we are all wary of talking about it until it finally befalls. And then when we talk, we just simply say that suicide is a coward’s choice. Well is it? Is it really a choice? Can someone choose depression? Well, no need to answer this question. Even if you think that way, do you even feel a bit righteous in judging the mere action and not the reasons behind it? Which, by the way, you know absolutely nothing about. We criticize the act of suicide after it’s done as if we put a lot of hard work in saving the person. Well, we don’t have the right to even talk about it afterward.

People confidently indulge in motivating speeches, acting so sure, as if something can always be done to prevent someone from taking his life. People give obnoxious reasons and advice about living life and not running away from it, considering life a responsibility to be lived no matter how miserable, giving absolutely no weight to the emotional and mental well-being.

People think life as a roller-coaster ride, there is no getting off the ride in between. But some people just can’t take it anymore, the jerks, nausea, the height and they choose to unhitch their harness and jump off! People think the more you devour life, the more heroic it is as if committing suicide is as simple as breathing carbon dioxide.

One must never underestimate the situations that can lead absolutely anyone, no matter when and where’s king he or she might be, towards manifesting such a frightening thought in them. People think of suicide but from far grounds and because of miseducation they think it is infectious and that’s the reason they don’t bother looking closely into the matter.

I dare you to try to imagine yourself standing on that stool, even if without a rope, you can’t still imagine the severity of the destructive thoughts the person’s having in his mind. But he tries, struggles with loneliness, thrives to bring change, suffers from unprecedented emotional drainage, and then ends up killing himself. Whereas us, cowards, sitting in our houses, criticizing and having no education about the matter, waving this topic off with contempt. Before commenting anything about it, ask yourself, do you really care about others?

A situation that is severe is never hidden, it’s just that we don’t care, remain ignorant, until the end, where we get to be melodramatic about the deceased!

Now don’t be that stupid to think and talk about courage and willpower. They withered away long ago from the life of the person who is standing on a stool with a rope around his neck. A person in depression is in the mental dilemma of either living or going away. He is far away from the worldly affirmations of courage, confidence, and Faith. He is deciding between life and death so don’t try to put stupid stuff on the options list.

And to all those who think they are trying to help, don’t call yourself empaths if all you do is blame depression over over-thinking. Don’t call yourself empaths to invite people to come to talk to you about their grief just because you don’t have any. Depressed person knows who they can reach out to and who they can’t. And maybe those who commit suicide don’t have anyone to confide in truly. 

Also, know that the one in depression would never talk but it’s your emotional sensitivity that will help you discover. know, that nothing singular causes it but a lot of attributes together are causative of depression. Not all of them will be visible but knowing them all is not necessary. Just have that sensitivity to identify it or even that slightest vibe of destructive, negative thoughts in another person’s mind and have a way of communicating. But before doing anything, educate yourself enough to be able to talk about it.

AAVARAN (means ‘covering’ in Mewari language) was founded by Mrs Alka Sharma, textile graduate from Indian Institute of Crafts and Design, Jaipur, Rajasthan, by this Alka wanted to uphold rural and indigenous communities and preserve their ‘traditional’ craft.

The initiative was started from Akola, which is a block printing cluster near Udaipur. The aim was to revive the culture so that the coming generations can carry the art forward.

The process at AAVARAN is totally conventional, that’s why the job is very labour intensive. They develop cloth from various types of cotton and silk (chanderi and kotadoriya). The cotton cloth takes around 15-20 days to develop whereas silk takes around a month because mud-resistant is to be applied on the fabric for 4-5 days and then it’s bleached.

Cloth at AAVARAN goes through following stages to reach to you:

  1. The fabric is imported from the Southern part of India.
  2. The fabric is then washed to remove the impurities of the fabric which are the barrier in the printing procedure.
  3. The fabric is then checked to ensure that there aren’t any weave-mistakes or holes.
  4. The plain cloth is dyed with various dyes, one of them being indigo dye.
  5. The fabric is then printed in different colors and blocks.
  6. The printed cloth is embroidered and stitched upon.
  7. The stitched cloth is then packed in the stock room.
  8. The finished product is consumed by both domestic and international markets.

AAVARAN’s speciality is Dabu print which is traditional hand block printing craftsmanship from vintage Rajasthan. It is made from Dabu which is a mud resist process, and comprises of black soil, gum (gond) and chuna (calcium hydroxide). A mixture of beedan and ground along with mud is used to make a sticky paste. Dabu is applied to the fabric using wooden blocks. At AAVARAN, artisans make use of single and double dabu dexterities for cloth printing.

AAVARAN’s USP is that they manufacture Indigo printed clothes which is Mewar’s ancient expertise. They have 4 pits, each 9ft deep for bleaching the cloth with Indigo. After bleaching/dying the cloth is of greenish shade but turns into blue after exposed oxidization.

AAVARAN also specialize in Lep, as its literal meaning, mud is evenly spread on the cloth and left for drying after which the cloth is bleached and color texture can be seen in different shades on the same piece.

Zari and zardozi are one of the major embroidery craft done at AAVARAN.

Rimless, semi or fully rimmed: Which glasses suits you the best?

Glasses for Men

Gone are the days when glasses made you look serious and nerdy. Now, with so many styles, colours and types available, eyeglasses have become more than a utility item. That is why glasses for men and women have now become like an accessory that helps improve appearance. 

However, with so many options and ever-changing trends, it is challenging to pick the right pair. One question on top of your mind might be that whether you should shop for full-frame, half-frame or rimless glasses. Even though all of it comes down to your personal preference, you still may need some help to decide which one can suit you the best.

We have curated a handy guide for you to understand various types of glasses for men and women and what they offer: 

Rimless Glasses: A Timeless Classic

Rimless Eyeglasses

Choose a rimless eyeglass frame to reveal your facial features. These glasses for men and women are a great choice to wear at work or any professional event. Such glasses are incredibly comfortable, but make sure you handle them with great care. It is because of the material used for the frame and lenses; both are thin. These glasses for men and women are so lightweight that sometimes you might forget that you are even wearing them. They are no longer available in just the standard rectangular shape, but also circular and other trendy styles. So, whether you want to get the iconic Steve Job’s look or Richard Gere’s captivating look, merge into the rimless trend. 

Half-Rim Glasses: For the Minimalistic Look

Semi Rim Eyeglasses

Half-rim glasses for men and women come are fitted with lenses that are only covered by a top rim.  You can build a sophisticated look by emphasizing the upper portion of your eyes by wearing this style of glasses. This kind of frame is lightweight, and it is the perfect choice for people who wear glasses all day long. 

If you have a diamond or face-down triangle shape, experiment with a semi-rimless frame. It gives you a balanced look, which makes it a perfect fit for changing from work to party look in no time. However, since the bottom part of the lenses is rimless, it is prone to higher wear and tear and may require extra care.

Fully-Rim Glasses: To Emphasize Your Style

Full Rim Eyeglasses

Fully rimmed glasses for men and women come fitted with lenses entirely outlined by a metal or plastic frame. Nothing catches more attention than sporting a bodied frame. Of the three types of frames, fully rim glasses are the sturdiest as they can endure frequent wear and tear. Such glasses for men and women are ideal for you if you have an active lifestyle involving travelling and sports activities.

Also, fully rim glasses for men and women can handle wide and thick lenses because of their lightweight construction, unlike half rim and rimless glasses. One small concern with fully rim glasses is that they tend to be a little heavier than the half rim and rimless glasses. However, it should not be a big deal for you if you don’t mind some extra weight.
