Hustle
While planning my wedding, I quickly realized that creating my big day on a budget was a mammoth task. From extended family to please, to the random details like lighting and napkins, things I previously gave no f**ks about suddenly occupied all my thoughts. The thought of putting together your own Sri Lankan wedding (especially with your own funds) may leave you shuddering, but with a little tenacity and great organization skills, you’ll be heading in the right direction in no time. Take it from a veteran.

Is It Ever Okay To Cry At Work?
Here’s a confession: At some point, almost every day, I am at my desk or in a meeting and feel an urge to burst into tears and become an IRL version of the Kim K. crying meme. These in-office ugly cries can be triggered by anything— my boss not liking my idea or an e-mail I sent prematurely (so many typos!).

A Korean Wave: The Rise Of K-Beauty In Sri Lanka
A few years ago, the beauty scene was dominated by brands coming from the western hemispere, and we loved them. Even though ehty cost major rupees, us Lankan gals begged, borrowed and stole (okay, relax: we're not being literal) to get our hands on the loot that signified the holy grail of beauty. Fast forward to the present: While we love our tried-and-tested European magnets, products made in the South Korean peninsula have fast climbed the beauty ranks to become a viable alternative (in some cases, a replacement even) thanks to a plethora of low-cost, highly efficient products that tend to be all natural, come in cute packaging and work miracles. Anuradha Withananchchi explores the beauty movement that's taken the island by storm.

Tales Of A Lankan Tomboy
Sneakers-check. Football scores-check. Janes-check. Whether it's playing a game of cricket or keeping tabs on the latest car model, it's quite difficult for a female to get the same respect as female when it comes to certain socially gendered activities. The larger world views women from a rather narrow point of view. What's worse, in Sri Lanka, there's a widely accepted opinion on a woman's role in life that's taken way too long to be refuted. What happens when you don't fit the mould? Rehana Packeeran divulges, and calls BS.

Ditch Your Five-Year Plan
Here’s a question scarier than that creepy clown in It: “Where do you see yourself in five years?” [Insert bloodcurdling scream.] You’ve probably heard it a kajillion times—from your parents, your friends, potential employers, and ugh, lame first dates. And even if you typically deflect with a corny response, chances are high that, inside, you feel a mounting panic that goes something like this: SOS! Everyone else has their life figured out and I have no clue....I’m so effing screwed. Permission to stop spiralling, granted.

Everybody loves a good present; more so on their big day. Although, the bride and groom will probably be exhausted by the end of the wedding and would’ve completely forgotten about the gifts.

How To Make A Long-distance Relationship Work!
Relationships are hard, but long-distance ones are the worst because they often don’t work out. Sure, they can be loving, intense and even passionate,but when the going gets tough, the relationship can’t be properly tested because you’re not physically together. Developing a romantic connection,especially if you’re in it for the long haul, requires plenty of commitment and, above all, action—two foundations that are hard to implement in an LDR. But while being apart is challenging, there are some LDRs that grow and thrive.
