While self-isolation seems to be the only way of dealing with this health crisis, waging a war on an unknown and invisible enemy still remains a daunting task. There are, however, a few brave souls who are risking it all to keep us safe. Here’s your chance to meet them

ITC VIVEL SALUTES WOMEN WARRIORS
It's true what they say—not all heroes wear capes. And in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the warriors of today are the ones that wear a mask. However, most women have been conditioned, gender-stereotyped, and told what they can and cannot do. Vivel, a leading brand from ITC, rooted in the core brand philosophy ‘Ab Samjhauta Nahin’ salutes and applauds women who break those barriers of conditioning, and go beyond their call of duty. In our very first Digital-only issue, Vivel and Femina are introducing you to those brave souls who are breaking the norms, risking their lives on a daily basis to make sure that people in need don't go hungry, everyone around you is well protected against the virus, stray animals are fed and taken care of. So join us as we commend those unsung heroes who firmly maintain their uncompromising attitude in the face of adversity and make our lives better every day.

"UGH, I HATE HOW I LOOK!"
If the title to this feature is a sentence that goes off in your head every time you stand in front of the mirror, you need to keep reading. No, this is not your run-of-the-mill self-love spiel that will magically change your self-image by the end. It won't. And it definitely won't silence the voices that have told you to fix, hide, and erase parts of you deemed “too much” or “not enough”. What it will do is offer something rare: a reason, however small, to stop waging war with your reflection, and feel a little better about coming home to the person who's been there all along. You.
