 FROM THE EDIT ROOM

OF TRAVEL, TREADMILLS AND

TRENDS
We are still reeling from the Great
January Reset. You know what we
are taking about; the sweeping goals
to join the gym, eat your greens and
travel more. What we personally love
about this decade is the conve-
nience it offers us to achieve these
never-changing goals. There has
been a definite rise in the number
of fitness centres across major
cities in India and they are not your
run-of-the-mill gyms. These centres
offer interesting fitness options like
piloxing, Strong by Zumba, Bollyfit,
Yoga, the list goes on. This along
with numerous health cafes which
go beyond offering just salads;
think corn bread chicken burgers,
whole wheat pastas, soups and even
healthy desserts. With all the indul-
gence minus the guilt, the year 2018
is going see a spike in fitter, more
confident, happier people.
Sweet, sweet love is in the air with
Valentine’s Day around the corner.
This time, let go of the box of choco-
for group trips allow you to meet
interesting new people from your
city. Make good use of the 16 long
weekends the year has to offer.
The winter is almost ending and it’s
time to say bye to our beloved sweat-
ers and comfy sweatshirts. Get ready
for some spring clothes and warm
sunshine. If you are heading for a
shopping spree, the trends to keep
in mind for Spring Summer 2018
are pastel gelato hues, tailored dark
denim, trench coats for the slightly
cooler days and sheer evening wear.
In our latest issue we talk about
brands like The Gourmet Jar which
brings interesting new flavours of
jams, condiments and relishes. Do
check out our stories about Vueza
and Aizen to discover colourful,
funky accessories and apparel. We
also feature an Art Deco themed
restaurant which boasts of an Asian

Kosmoderma brings the

3-in-1 OxyBrite treatment
under the medi-facial range.
Anupama Shivacharya steps in
for an experience

A Healthy Glow
Facials are great for the skin, however
the modern lifestyle leaves little time
for one to spare and hit the salon.
Between work, parties and weddings,
heading to the salon is a luxury that
many cannot make time for. Dr
Chytra V Anand realized this and
wanted to put an end to these woes.
She recently launched the OxyBrite
treatment which is the latest in
Medifacials and has already been
rated as a favorite among celebrities.
OxyBrite is a 30 minute all-in-one
solution with no downtime. The facial
promises to help you look fresher,
younger, brighter and provides
smoother skin. The treatment
40
exfoliates, infuses, oxygenates and
tightens the skin.
Dr. Chytra V Anand is an
Internationally renowned cosmetic
dermatologist and the founder of
Kosmoderma. The clinic is dedicated
to medical excellence in the field
of Cosmetic Dermatology with
international accreditation
and facilities.
First Impressions
I chose a weekend afternoon to drop
by the Kosmoderma Clinic in Lavelle
Road, Bangalore. As I walked into the
clinic, I was greeted by soothing
music and a friendly receptionist who
requested me to have a seat and
handed over a medical history
form. The lobby is done up in cream
with cane sofas, blue cushions
and a carpet.
The Treatment
As I finished filling out the form, I was
taken to a room where the attendant
took pictures of my face to better
understand my skin type and the
issues. After a quick examination of
the pictures, the skin specialist on
duty discussed my skin, enquiring
about my health and lifestyle habits.
Since I have mild acne, I was skeptical
about the results. However, the
specialist dismissed my fears and
explained the OxyBrite treatment to me.

I was then handed over to a therapist who would be

taking care of the treatment. The therapist asked me to
change into treatment gown and later explained the
products she would be using. She started with a gentle
face massage and then proceeded to apply a
nutrient-rich brightening gel on the skin. The gel was
then activated to release the active ingredients by
moving a special capsule around my face. The therapist
explained that the OxyBrite treatment generates a
chemical reaction producing CO2 bubbles which gently
burst on the skin’s surface. As the bubbles broke down,
it removed the dead skin, erasing finer lines and
decreasing pores. The capsule exfoliated the upper
skin layer to renew the skin. I was told that the CO2
helps draw oxygenated blood to the surface of the skin
and makes the skin more receptive to the active
ingredients. The process also helped increase the
nutrition and detox skin while increasing the
absorption of active ingredients.

Post the treatment, I was left with healthy glow on my

face; my pores had reduced in size and my skin felt soft
and supple.

The Gourmet Jar brings delicious gourmet condiments
with unique flavour combinations. Anupama Shivacharya
Jam-Packed!
The Gourmet Jar brings gourmet
jams, preserves, mustards, relishes,
savoury spreads and infused honey,
all of which are 100% natural.
The products are made in
artisanal style with distinctive
flavour combinations!
Brand Beginnings
When asked about how it all started,
Apeksha Jain, Founder, answers, “My
husband has a major sweet tooth, and
on a holiday in Burgundy, we tasted a
homemade banana jam at a small
Bed & Breakfast which he absolutely
loved. Back in India, his reminiscing
about that banana jam drove me to
make my own first batch and it came
out great! His pleased reaction
42
WBN LOVES
tries a spoonful
inspired me to experiment with more
flavours and they received positive
reactions from friends and family as
well. It dawned on me that the Indian
jam market was synonymous with
artificially flavoured, full-of-sugar
and artificial colours. There was
nothing similar to what I was making;
interesting flavours made in an
artisanal style, from fresh ingredients
and no preservatives. So, I set up a
Facebook page in May 2012, and
started selling my preserves
directly to customers.”
The Clientele
The brand caters to people who love
food and look for products that are
natural, unique and gourmet.
The USP
The products are handmade with
natural ingredients in small batches
with an all-women team following the
artisanal style of production. The
Gourmet Jar also boasts of unique
recipes – most of which the Indian
market has not seen before. The
modern and contemporary
packaging looks great on the kitchen
shelf and the products make
interesting gifts too.
The Journey
When asked about the journey,
Apeksha shares, “It’s been an
incredible journey, starting the brand
from my home kitchen in 2012 and
making all the products myself for
 two years, and now we have a 4000 sq ft facility in Noida
employing more than 20 women. We’ve gone from being a jam
brand to becoming a condiment brand producing a range of
products like jams, mustards, relishes, infused honey and
savoury spreads. And the biggest change of all has been my
husband leaving his job and joining me at TGJ to take it to the
next level. It has been a journey with its fare share of ups and
downs. However, the satisfaction of witnessing the growth has
been incredible.”

Hot Sells
Some of the popular products are Fig Almond Conserve,
Mango Jalapeno Preserve, Raspberry Strawberry Preserve,
Red Pepper Relish, Walnut Cinnamon Honey, Wholegrain
Mustard and Tomato Cranberry Relish. The most unusual
combinations are Orange Mustard with deliciously tangy
mustard containing chunks of orange peels and Smoked
Aubergine Relish which comes smoky, sweet and spicy.

The Experience

Banana Rum Jam – The jam came delicately flavoured with

cinnamon and a splash of dark rum and was not overly
sweet. It’s the perfect accompaniment for pancakes, crepes
and waffles or simply on a piece of buttered toast.

Mango Jalapeño Preserve – My favourite summer fruit

paired with spicy jalapeno peppers, the preserve was fruity
with a mild spice and tanginess to it. The chunky preserve is
a perfect accompaniment to soft cream cheese on a cracker.
It can also be used as a marinade or as an ingredient for a
sweet-spicy sauce.

Red Pepper Relish - Made with slow-roasted bell peppers,

the relish is perfect for sandwiches and can also be paired
with cheeses and crackers. The sweet and spicy flavour
makes it an ideal dip too.

Fig Almond Conserve - A full-bodied preserve with figs,

almonds and a hint of cinnamon, it is great with plain bread.
The sweet conserve mostly tasted of figs.

Orange Mustard – This mustard spread came tangy and

pungent. It acts as great seasoning when roasting veggies or
meat. It can also be added to marinades and dressings to
give a spicy twist.

that houses a stage, an oval-shaped island bar and an
outdoor alfresco dining area where guests can sit by the
robatayaki grill.
What we drank?
We chose to have the Smoking Jazz which came with

Deco theme to match. Anupama
Shivacharya steps in for a taste
smoked balsamic vinegar and elderflower syrup stirred
together with Gordon’s gin. The simply presented drink
came with complex flavours and complemented the dishes
served wonderfully. From the mocktails we chose Asian
Affair – litchi juice, pomegranate and galangal. The mild
taste of galangal made it refreshing and light. We also
asked for the Blueberry Tango which came with
homemade blueberry puree, citrusy flavour from
orange and lime combined with rosemary and a splash
of ginger ale.
What We Ate?
From the Small Plates section, We started with the Thai
Spring Roll – vegetable spring rolls with a side of sweet
chilli sauce which were a delight to bite into. Next up was
the Edamame with Chilli and Garlic – the simplest dish of
the lot and my personal favourite of the day, the dish came
with green soy beans steamed in sea salt. The spice
teamed with garlic and the juicy soy bean was almost
addictive, an example of how simple flavours can make
bold statements.
 From the non vegetarian options, first up was the
Chicken Karaage – mildly spicy, juicy boneless chicken
pieces, fried to crisp; the safest dish of the lot and
everybody’s favourite on the table.

We then moved on to try the dumplings and started

with the Vegetable and Chives Dumpling – velvety soft,
steamed dumplings stuffed with chopped lotus root,
celery, carrot, chives and water chestnuts. The mild
crunch from the vegetables was especially enjoyable.
Next up was the Steamed Fish with Oyster Sauce – fish
fillet wrapped in thin radish sliced and steamed.

The Chicken Gyoza was a recommendation from the

chef. The Japanese style chicken dumpling was filled
with juicy minced chicken, scallion, soy and pan seared
to finish. The sear gave an enjoyable textural contrast to
the dish.

We then proceeded to try the Sushi platter which came

with Salmon and Unagi Sushi (Nigiri) served on sushi
rice, Sashimi of Tuna, Scallops and Hamachi – all placed
on a shiso leaf and sliced daikon and Salmon Avocado
Roll. Each of the fishes were delightfully fresh and
tasted of the ocean.

This was followed by Nikkei Salmon Sashimi – Peruvian

style, thinly sliced raw fish with lime leche tigre
combined with sweetness from the passion fruit,
crunchy sweet potato bits and sweet corn, all leading to
an explosion of bold flavours in the mouth.

We finished the meal with Massaman Lamb Curry

which came with slow cooked lamb in authentic
Massaman gravy from southern Thailand. This was
served with Hainanese Chicken Rice – poached
boneless chicken cooked in stock, served with sauce
and broth, both made of chicken.

Sweet Endings
For dessert, we were served the Matcha and Raspberry
Ice Cream with Meringue Cake – a meringue ice cream
cake made with green tea, raspberry ice cream with
hazelnut praline, pistachio crumble, raspberry coulis.
The tart raspberry flavour combined with earthy
matcha and nuttiness from the praline and pistachio
crumble was a blissful end the meal.

The wedding season has finally arrived with its endless
invites, be with from colleagues, friends or family. Some
events have a set dress code. However, it is always better to
be dressed right. Deciding what to wear may be a bit of a
struggle for some. We teamed up with the stylists at Y & O to
put together a guide on how to wear a velvet dinner jacket.

Many would be tempted to reach out for the traditional

tuxedo. Instead get creative, step outside your comfort zone
and opt for a velvet dinner jacket. This will instantly add a
touch of luxury to your overall look.

If you’re looking for a velvet dinner jacket which offers a

sartorial look, one in a black will do the job perfectly. Keep
the rest of the outfit clean and neutral. If you’re looking to
add some colour to your look, a midnight blue, burgundy or
brown would be ideal.

Cocktail parties provide a great opportunity to experiment

with colour as they are less formal when compared to black
tie events. A midnight blue velvet dinner jacket would be a
wonderful choice. Team it up with a navy roll neck, black
trousers and black velvet loafers. This will add a touch of
sophistication to your overall look without seeming like
you’re over dressed.

If you want to be creative, a burgundy velvet jacket is a great

idea. This will add confidence to your overall look and make your look and add some character to your jacket. It is crucial

a plain version in a white or navy.
If you’ve been invited to a black tie dinner party or an
exclusive party, this is your opportunity to go the whole all
the way. A black velvet dinner jacket would be the best
choice. It offers a chic look and makes a change from going
for the usual black dinner suit. Pair it with a crisp white shirt,
black trousers and patent black loafers. Once you’ve decided
what you’re going to wear, it’s time to add the finishing
touches.

 Brand Beginnings
Aizen started off as an e-commerce website in summer of
2017 and has quickly grown into selling products on other
online shopping portals as well. Mehak shares, “I am a keen
admirer of fashion trends and I noticed a vast gap between
sleepwear available globally as compared to India. Indian
consumers have access to almost no options of trendy, chic
and comfortable sleepwear at affordable prices. This
realization, led to the creation of a brand that delivered a
perfect blend of design and never compromised on comfort
or chicness.”

boyfriend grudgingly gave away. Get your own cute
nightwear from Aizen and wake up feeling sorted.

trendy sleepwear and tees. Brides-to-be shop for their
sleepwear trousseau for bachelorettes and bridal showers.
The brand also sees a lot of couples and families who shop

The Journey
Mehak shares, “Our brand journey this past year has been
nothing less than exciting! From starting off as a
homegrown brand to having celebrities appreciate our
designs and product comfort, we’ve been lucky that the
hardwork is organically culminating into a solid brand
presence.”

She continues, “It’s a great feeling when you have absolute

strangers come looking for your stall and get excited to buy
your products at Pop-Ups and exhibitions with footfall as
high as 25000 people per day.”

Hot Sells
The Matching PJ sets for couples sell the most. Other
popular products are matching satin robes, monogrammed
or PJ sets customized with names and initials. The Sleep
