Dear Earth Fountain of Youth Feminine Wash Review

Its a common phenomenon in India that females of all ages feel uneasy or reluctant to talk about their genital problems. Not only to their physician, but in many cases, even to their parents or spouse too. And this is a reason that most problem go uncured until it reaches an alarming situation.

A  close friend of mine got trapped in similar inconvenient situation due to her hesitation to discuss the issue and is now suffering from severe Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). It prompted me to write about a promising product that can assure you a safer and hygienic genital region by preventing bacterial infections, odors, itching and any other discomfort.

So I'm reviewing Dear Earth "Fountain of Youth" Feminine Wash today..

Qty: 150 ml
Price: Rs 500/-
Shelf Life: 12 months from the date of mfg.
Ingredients: 
Fountain of Youth feminine wash is very sensitively formulated with USDA and PETA India certified organic and nutritive ingredients such as tea tree oil, rose oil, neem oil, coconut oil and extracts of betel leaves & bermuda grass. These all have excellent rejuvenating and healing properties. Not only that, the product is registered as vegan by the Vegan Society, UK.

The product comes in a plastic bottle with a 'press open' kind of cap to open and extract the liquid, which is quite easy n handy way.

The Fountain of Youth Feminine Wash is of very thin watery consistency in neutral color (lighter than the one that is seen in the bottle). Its sufficiently foamy and you need just few drops for one time use. It smells so soothing n mild that once you use it, you naturally start feeling cleaner. And this fragrance lets you fight bad odour. It is meant for external use only, so be careful while applying it and wash the genitalia properly.It doesn't need much effort to rinse it off.

I feel really happy to share that the product is totally chemical free n paraben free, hence can be a part of your daily self-care regime without any worries. I suffered with no itching or irritation after its daily use. Infact its regular use improves texture of  vaginal skin with nutrition n moisture and helps in tightening skin tissues. So it can be used specially by those females who are looking for an appropriate product to tighten their vaginal skin.

The Betel leaf extracts provides freshness all the day long, while tea tree oil is one of the best antiseptic to fight bacterial infections that mostly occur in your mensural periods due to the use of same sanitary pads for longer period and so on. The Bermuda grass (Dhub in Hindi) is known for its medicinal value and thus provides its healing benefits to our private organs too. It gently cures skin allergies that may arise when you are careless in maintaining hygiene.

 Pros:
1. Purely Vegan (as this cute bunny reads) :)
2. Easy Availability online
3. Suitable for daily use.
4. Sufficient quantity to last more than a month.
5. National as well as International Certification for Authentic Ingredients.

Cons:
I found it a bit heavy on pocket (as I feel some interested users might not buy it just becasue of its price.)

Final Word: I can confidently recommend the Dear Earth Fountain of Youth Feminine Wash to every woman who dare to care for themselves !!


Simplest Home Remedy for Festive Glow

Festive season is already in and we all want to look our best. But at the same time, this is that moment when excessive work load leave us tired n stressed out, without any time to pamper ourselves. 

I always plan for some skin care DIY on weekends, but my weekends are hardly spent at home ...be it leisurely outings or routine household committments, I'm always overly occupied :(
 
But this morning, as I had a casual look at myself in the mirror while brushing my teeth; I decided then-n-there that I need to take out time (few minutes atleast) for myself today... So here is how I managed to give my face n body a relaxing start of the day :)
I mainly used wheat husk that is an amazing exfoliant when you want to ditch dull skin in a hurry and brighten up your face with a healthy complexion.

Ingredients
4-5 tsp Wheat Bran (choker)
1 tbsp Honey
4-5 tsp milk
1 thick slice of cucumber 
Cut a thick slice of cucumber without peeling it off.
Rub it over your entire face and neck area in circular motions. It will help your skin in preparing for the cleansing procedure by opening up your facial pores and ultimately will lead you to extract maximum benefit. 
Then wipe your face n neck with a lukewarm cloth and gently pat it dry.
Now make a thick paste by mixing the wheat husk with enough milk and honey. 



Apply this paste on your face n neck and massage it for 5-7 minutes on your face with light pressure in gentle circular movements until your skin turns rosy pink :)
As the paste on your skin gets dried, rinse it off by rubbing with fresh water. 
The wheat husk will exfoliate old skin cells, while the honey and milk will moisturize your facial skin ... And the outcome is Softer, smoother skin instantly!

Tips: 
Those who have very dry skin can replace milk with milk-cream for better effects. And those who have oily skin can add few drops of lemon juice into the mixture as per their skin suitability.
2. Make the paste in proper consistency that effortlessly moves as per your hand movement. If its watery thin, you should add some more husk and if its extra thick then add some more milk.
3. I don't mind using this remedy on entire body by adding lemon juice in it, especially on exposed parts like arms n back bcoz i notice visible tan-reduction after its use.


I would love to read home remedies from my lovely readers in comments so that me and all other can be benefitted :)

Swachh Bharat - Swachh Vidyalaya Campaign at St.Soldier Mohali



Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Based on one of the tenets of Mahatma Gandhi ‘SWACHH ABHIYAN’ or cleanliness drive is receiving a lot of attention nationwide. 
The CBSE Board has also been taking concerted steps to promote awareness about sanitation in schools because children deserve good sanitary practices such as clean school toilets, clean surroundings, and complete information on hygiene. Hence an all-out attempt was made at my son's school to have a clean environment.

The students of all age groups keenly participated to make it a grand success. To create awareness about Mahatma Gandhi, ‘Best Dressed Gandhi’ competition was held for the toddlers of Play Group to K.G.



Various activities like washing of handkerchief/socks, polishing shoes, cleaning bags , clipping the nails etc. on personal hygiene were conducted for Classes I & II students to teach them dignity of self-care.




Students of the Music Club composed and sang songs on cleanliness in and around the school led by toddlers dressed as Gandhi. Members of ‘Design for Change’ comittee took an initiative to get the dump yard removed from the school’s vicinity.



The members of the Health & Wellness  club took the initiative of cleaning the classrooms and the surrounding area of the school.The whole school took a pledge to keep their surroundings clean and green.
