Love,
With the arrival of 2021, Durafits has brought in an entire range of shapewear products to enhance the beauty of women. The shapewear market is a very competitive one, and consumers can find a large number of choices. In such a situation, it often becomes difficult for them to make an informed decision. Due to a lack of technical knowledge about shapewear or even women's stockings, they often find themselves in the dark while making a decision regarding the better brand to buy.
There are many factors that make a brand
the ultimate place to look for shapewear. Some of them are:
- Comfort - The best shapewear for women helps them attain a body they had dreamt of. It enhances the beauty of their bodies and improves their sense of self-worth massively. But while doing so, how important is the comfort factor? If women are uncomfortable in the shapewear they choose, it most probably is a wrong choice. Shapewear is to be worn on a variety of occasions and compromising on comfort should never be a choice that women should make. Durafits shapewear beats the competition hands down when it comes down to comfort and this is one of the most important reasons why it is so preferred by women all around.
- Stretchability - A shapewear should be designed in such a way that it can accentuate the desired parts while hiding the excess fats. For it to be perfectly functional, shapewear need to have a high degree of stretchability. Lack of stretchability can lead to uneven body shapes and also increased discomfort. Durafits are experts in the manufacture of shapewear. Their technical expertise and knowledge have created some of the best shapewear in the market.
- Colors and Textures - Let us be honest here. No clothing item should be bland in color or uncomfortable in texture. Shapewear should be as attractive as the clothes you wear outside, both to touch and feel. Attractive colors are a must, given the fact that shapewear is worn by women on all sorts of occasions. Unattractive colors and coarse textures should be avoided at all costs when it comes to shapewear.
They are extremely comfortable to wear as well and available in a wide variety of colors and textures. They are also extremely useful for women who have just undergone surgeries as they are easy on the skin with high levels of stretchability which provides comfort.
Shapewear is a necessity for women today.
As they enter into the workforce and become more independent, they have every
right to want to look the best they can. And shapewear is the answer to their
needs.
There's something magical about ruins.
History has seeped in through each crevice and each crumbling stone tells a hundred enchanting stories about the past.
I've always been fascinated by the beauty of those broken buildings that emit as much grandeur in their crumbling state as they used to do back in their day. Exploring ruins, touching those history-steeped surfaces, knowing more about the people who inhabited those walls when they were standing tall fills me with a sense of awe that very few things can.
So, when I went to Jordan (few years back), I was ecstatic to experience some of the most magnificent ruins all over the country! The ruins in Jordan vary in architecture & culture - from the Roman amphitheatres of Jerash to the rock-cut ruins of Petra built by the Bedouins to the holy Christian ruins at Mt. Nebo; there's a wide variety of history-rich monuments to explore and get mesmerized by. And so I thought, that these magnificent ruins deserve a separate post for my fellow travel enthusiasts & ruin-lovers out there.
1. Roman Ruins at Jerash
One of the most popular tourist attractions in Jordan, the Greco-Roman ruins in Jerash are sprawled over a wide area that can be explored by foot over 3-4 hours. The imposing Hadrian's Arch or Triumphal Arch, built AD 129, will welcome you into the ruin complex if you enter from the southern end. The central attraction of the site is the forum which is oblong in shape, with the paved limestone plaza surrounded by 56 Ionic columns that make for great photo-ops.
The main thoroughfare of the old city runs on one side. It is a colonnaded street that still flaunts the original paved stones over which chariots used to run back in the day. There's also a small museum which showcases the history of Jerash and has an impressive collection of old artefacts from the site.
Tickets: 8 JD or free entry if you have the Jordan Pass
Guides: You can get good guides at around 20-25 JD near the ticket counter
2. Ancient Ruins of Petra
When one says 'Jordan', the first thing that comes to mind is the famous rose-hued archaeological ruins of Petra. Built more than 2000 years ago by the Nabateans, the ruins at Petra are not only a World Heritage Site, but also included in the list of the New Wonders Of The World!
Tickets: If you are staying overnight in Petra - 50 JD for 1 day, 55 JD for 2 days, 60 JD for 3 days
If you are a day visitor in Petra - 90 JD
Guides: 50-100 JD depending upon what monuments you want to cover
3. Ruins of Ajloun Castle
4. Christian ruins at Mt. Nebo
Even if you are not someone who is interested in holy pilgrimages or historical sites, you can still enjoy the stunning panoramic view of the Dead Sea & the Desert of Judah from the top of the mountain.
5. Roman ruins at Amman Citadel
The Citadel also houses a small but impressive Archeological Museum, behind which lies another attraction - the Umayyad Palace. The ruins of these 8th-century royal & residential buildings have been excavated by archaeologists since the 1920s. You can see the majestic domed audience hall and an ancient cistern that used to be the source of water supply for the area in days of yore.
Tickets: 2 JD or free entry if you have the Jordan Pass
Guides: Knowledgeable guides available for around 15 JD near the ticket counter
This country is largely dependent on tourism for its economy, and they have been hit badly due to the pandemic (as a lot of other tourism-based countries). So, you can do your bit in helping this beautiful country get back on its feet - and have a safe trip yourself as this offbeat country will surely not have big tourist crowds like some other popular destinations!
