The bond between a brother and a sister is really special.You may have your disagreements (likely a lot of disagreements), but they can also be your ultimate partners-in-crime. You may give them a hard time, but if someone else utters a negative word about them, you’ll likely be the first to defend their honour. You may love to hate them and hate to love them, but the unconditional bond and camaraderie can’t be beaten. To celebrate Rakhi, Mufubu's Designers created some Relatable AF comics about having sisters and brothers ― and raising them. "Tu Adopted Hai" "The Remote Wars" "The Blame Game" "When Doggo Comes First" "TeamWork" "Mera Gift Kaha Hai" The Finale for the ones who Dread the Bro-zone Happy Raksha Bandhan Y'all ;)

Packing a Backpack When packing your backpack, the two main considerations you need to sort your gear by is how much it weighs and how regularly you will be using it. The aim is to put together a pack that is balanced effectively. A packed backpack should sit comfortably on the back without affecting your centre of gravity. Bottom Separate items out alongside your pack; this facilitates packing and also makes it easier to check you have everything. Start out by packing the items you’ll use least, which will most likely be your sleeping clothing, a pillow and your sleeping bag. These won’t be needed until you set up camp so they can easily sit at the bottom of your pack.Middle Next up, you want to add your heaviest items to the centre, closest to your back. These will be water, food, cookware and solid items that are heavier in weight. Keeping them close to your back in the centre of the bag gives you a good balance, whereby you won’t be pulled in any one direction. Finish the centre section by adding your lightest items farthest from your back to keep the weight close to you.Top Finish by adding all the essential items you use most often at the top. This will include a torch, first aid kit, map, snacks and other practical items you’ll use while hiking. Too much weight at the top will throw you off your balance and you can risk toppling over.Exterior It’s advisable not to overdo it with added items hanging from the pack’s exterior. These can snag on something and their movement can put off your equilibrium. With everything inside the pack, you can easily tighten compression straps so everything is secure and won’t throw off your balance. PRO TIP: Check that you’ve packed your bag properly by putting it down on the floor. If the bag falls to the left or right, then the weight isn’t evenly distributed on each side and the load will need adjusting. If the bag falls onto its front, with the straps up in the air, you have too much weight towards the front of your bag, which will mean that the load pulls you back as you walk.

The predictions for 2018's Top fitness trends were just released and Mufubu has been doing an intense investigation into WTF these things are. Bizzare or Do-able, What's your take? Workleisure Clothing Athleisure contributed to the rise of wearing leggings outside of the gym, and now comfy clothes are making their way into the office. Basically, workleisure takes technical, sweat-wicking, and flattering fabrics—which have made Lycra and oversized sweatshirts our everyday chic essentials—and incorporates them into work/dinner/happy hour-appropriate pieces. Entomophagy Bugs, anyone? They're a cheap and sustainable source of protein, so don't be surprised to find crickets on restaurant menus instead of Fear Factor reruns. If you're keen on trying the trend, just know that bug-based foods can still be heavily processed, so bear in mind what else you're eating in addition to crunchy insects. Fat to Fitness Bands Move over, wristwatch, there’s a new accessory in town and it’s sleek, functional and wildly popular. These Fitness bands are wearable fitness devices that are strapped to the wrists of people everywhere, tracking their every move. These can act as a substitute for a phone when you’re out for a run and can be the most accurate fitness trainer you could ever have. Get Yours Today.

What does a healthy lifestyle look like? For some people, it looks like a lifestyle without any kind of fun. You have to slog through boring workouts, avoid going out to restaurants and eat twigs and berries. What kind of fun is that? At first, it may look like you have to give up everything to lose weight, but what you gain from those changes is much more meaningful and satisfying. Not only will your body change, but your mind will change as well. Here are a few easy tips to have a healthier but fun lifestyle- A Healthy Life starts with Breakfast Juice may seem like a healthy breakfast option because it’s fruit, after all, but store-bought varieties are often packed with hidden sugars and have very little nutritional value. Most places that have juice will also have bananas or apples on hand, so choose one of those and get your hydration from water. Deskercise Some days, there simply isn’t time for a workout. But that doesn’t mean you can’t exercise at all. Though it may feel funny at first, doing exercises at your desk is a great way to sneak fitness into your day. It will not only help you squeeze in exercise time but will also make sure you stretch your body in the midst of your 8-hour desk sitting routine. Turn TV time into Fitness time When faced with the option of watching another episode of House or going for a run, hitting “Next Episode” often feels so much easier. But you actually don’t need to choose one or the other. If watching from home, stretch and do bodyweight exercises while enjoying the show. Most cardio machines at the gym also have entertainment, so go ahead and binge on TV. Stay Hydrated Eight glasses of water a day can help keep the doctor away. Getting plenty of H2O also helps keep you full, energized, and extra focused. To help remind yourself to drink up, keep a water bottle at your desk or set reminders on your phone. Drinking water also helps cure hangovers or avoid them completely and keeps colds at bay. Set Realistic Goals Whether personal or professional, setting goals is a great way to grow. Just make sure they’re realistic. Instead of aiming to lose 5 kgs, start with two. Want a promotion? Take on one project at a time instead of several new responsibilities. Do schedule monthly check-ins with your boss, friends, or even yourself to assess and reward progress. Get yourself a Fitness Tracker A wrist-worn device that can detect a combination of your walking steps, running distance, heart rate, sleep patterns, blood pressure and more. These interact via Bluetooth with an app in your phone that configures the device and downloads your activity data. This is the most convenient way for you to know what your body is trying to tell you. Shop Now!

Many times we fantasize about redecorating our rooms, but we never get around to doing any of that, because as always, life gets in the way. Sometimes we feel a twinge of shame when we invite people over and you turn off the lights as soon as you stumble inside with that special someone. All of these are signs that some redecorating is a must. Here are some tips to bring back some love to your room so you feel good showing it off. WOOD DIY Refashion reclaimed wood and give it a twist. For instance, use an old, reclaimed wooden stair to place decorations or use as storage space. You could also place an old wooden shutter on your wall and store important photographs, tickets or simply postcards or letters. QUIRKY STORAGE SOLUTIONS Create a layer of bricks under your bed or sofa and you can store little things like shoes or key essentials. If you are a bit messy, it can help you organize your space and give a quirky look to your room. Creating shelves on walls is a smart way to make your room look less cluttered and more creative. TINGE OF GREEN Plants can be stored in small glass jars and they will always bring life and light into your room. You could put succulents in tiny brown flower pots, doodle intricate designs or paint patterns on it with acrylic. Get two strings of fairy lights and twist them around the pots for added effect. You could also create a fun lamp with just paper, a pin, and paint. You can create whatever design fits your room. COLOUR COLOUR COLOUR If you are a lover of bright colors, why not use color pencils as a quirky decoration for your wall? You could also grab some old, colorful t-shirts and cut them into long strips and tie them together- this is a novel way of creating a carpet. You can adapt the same design using different fabrics, this will bring a pop of color to your room. WALL EXPRESSIONS Putting all your random art into similar frames can make it feel like an actual gallery. You can buy cheap frames from your local stores or even just DIY wooden frames. Use old hangers by twisting them into different shapes for cool decor on the wall.   MIX AND MATCH To incorporate colour and life into your room you could use printed bed sheets, covers and rugs around your room. Upholster your box-spring using a design you love. You can play with different fabrics, textures, and prints. GO ANTI-BORING Everything that you use on a regular basis- from your contact lens cases to the knob you use to hang your clothes can be quirked up. If you change to a funkier contact lens case it will definitely make you look more fun and interesting. It’s the little things that make all the difference so be conscious of the details and the vibe you’re sending out.

Borrow more books than you can read If a friend has been going on and on about a book- borrow it from her. While borrowing books from the library, borrow more than you think you’ll actually read. Having physical books stacked up in your house that you know need to be returned is like a ticking time bomb. This will encourage you to read more than you might initially have planned to.   If you are a digital reader, make sure you download a stockpile of books onto your e-reader, so you always have a wealth of choices right at your fingertips that you are eager to read.   Read more than one book at a time People say that it gets boring for them to come back to the same book again and again- so don’t. There’s no rule that tells you to read only one book at a time. You could pick 3-4 books from different genres and space out their reading time according to you. This way you could be reading fiction novels, autobiographies, sports fiction etc Just pick up the book you’re in the mood for and go for it. Some people do prefer to read one book at a time, but others benefit from working on several books at the same time. Some genres like fantasy fiction are more suitable for reading at night, while other books, such as non-fiction analyses, can be more suitable for reading during your commute or day breaks. When it comes to self-help books, it might be advisable to space out your reading session over time, so that you get a chance to work on the recommendations in the book. Make it a part of your routine Keep a book under your pillow or on the table next to your bed. Every night before sleeping you will be reminded of the book and will hopefully pick it up! This way it’ll become a part of your routine and will eventually become a habit. Also, genres like fiction or enjoyable non-fiction at night before falling asleep are a proven method to relax by putting the day behind ourselves and preparing ourselves for a good night’s sleep. By the same token, you can make it a habit to read a few pages first thing in the morning, or read a chapter after lunch while you are digesting food and getting ready for a productive work session in the afternoon. Try and always carry a book in your bag. It’s the best way to keep yourself entertained and occupied in boring or awkward moments and can also pass off as a great conversation starter. *wink wink* Join your peers It’s always a good idea to get involved in activities that encourage you to read more, more and more. Look for people in your community or online who are reading the same book as you are reading.  Keeping up with their discussions and ideas on the reading will help you move forward with your reading. You’ll be able to share your thoughts and get insight into different perspectives regarding the same story and plus you wouldn’t want to be the one who missed out on last week’s chapter, would you? Electronic dictionary Nobody enjoys reading something they can’t understand. If you pick up a book that is heavy by your standards, you might not pick it up again. But that doesn’t mean you can’t. We read for pleasure but we also read to know more and learn more. What’s the point of reading new words when you don’t even know what they mean? There are people who keep a dictionary next to them while reading and some who just search for whatever new word they come across right on their phones. But is the phone the best way to keep you focused on your book? Try reading ten pages with a phone in your hand and you’ll know that your phone can be your worst enemy for a book reading session. Instead, just invest in an electronic dictionary. You don't have to put down the book to go find a dictionary and look up a word. Press power button, type in the word and press OK- It's that simple!
