    To begin with, you don't have a reason to skip SPF, and with sunscreen sticks around, there's no fooling around. Sunscreen sticks are brilliant for quick top-ups on the go. Experts repeatedly emphasise the importance of incorporating sunscreen into your routine to minimise the impact of harmful ultraviolet rays, which are responsible for 90% of visible skin changes often associated with ageing. Year-round application is crucial for maintaining healthy skin.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
