Wave Goodbye to Damaged Hair With Aroma Essentials Hair Blend

Experiencing dry, stressed scalp? Want soothing & nourishing hair oil recipes? umm, sorry can't help you as I don't have one :(

But someone very innovative at team Aroma Essentials has sorted out our problem by blending together many essential oils with vegetable oils and serving the ready-to-use concoction for easy application.

Today I'll review Aroma Essentials Hair Blend which has combination of  Vegetable Oils like Sesame, Olive, Argan , Almond and has been further mixed with Essential oils like Geranium, Mint, Lavender.

The hair blend comes in a transparent plastic bottle that has a flip open cap pierced with a hole within it. So no worries of breakage of bottle. The flip cap requires effort to open and there is a plastic disc cap inside the outer cap, so the oil won't spill out.

Its a light gold color oil that smells heavily of exotic aromatic oils gone into its formulation. The aroma immediately soothes the nerves and senses.

The hair blend oil is advised to be applied directly on scalp. I prefer using a dropper to apply such therapeutic oils for easy application and ensure the scalp is equally coated. You may also use a cotton ball or your finger tips to apply the oil as per your convenience. The hair blend oil is not greasy and avoids that irritation chip-chip feeling that we all dislike. It feels light yet moisturizing on application. For optimum result, one should take steam so as to avail maximum hydration. In my case, I wrap a warm absorbent towel around my head after head massage which helps in making hair stronger easier to style and detangle. Keeping the hair blend oil on scalp for 30 mins and washing the hair off does the job.

Thanks to highest quality therapeutic grade oils used in making this hair blend that works towards stimulating hair follicles and increasing blood circulation which in long run would result in reduction in hair loss and would promote hair growth. This blend also destresses and regulates hormonal imbalance as geranium is medicinally used for regulating hormonal imbalance.

Sesame oil increases the efficacy of vitamin E which is good for hair & is good for growing dark and lustrous hair. My favourite Lavender and Mint oils draw me to their calming properties that reduces stress, headaches and hypertension. They have antifungal, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that reduces scalp flakiness very effectively and contributes regenerative and balancing effect.Olive oil is sure to control hair frizz and offer deep moisturization to dry scalp. If you are facing dandruff issue, Argan oil will act as a moisturiser for the scalp to fight dandruff. 

The product would show noticeable hair growth and thickening of your locks in a month or so, but the texture of hair and health of scalp improves in very few uses. The benefits of so many nourishing oils are undisputed and so is true for this hair blend. You can tap the wonderful benefits of this hair blend at Rs. 350 by placing an order at Aroma Essentials.

Styling Colored Skinny Denim ft Jabong

I always find 'Denim' as the focal point of a girl's outfit. When we talk about universal fashion, nothing comes close to the omnipresent classic blue denim for its comfort, convenience, style and of course versatility. I'm a big fan of this piece of fashion that is probably the only wardrobe staple that each of us owns in great variety.

As the Spring Summer vibes get warmer, my interpretations of denim might be turning the fashion world upside down ;) I love styling colored denims to spice up my look. Colored denim makes an outfit quite interesting and adds a fresh spin to your casual dressing on a dull day.

I've amassed few colored denims in bright and pastel shades in past few months and recently bought one more in green color from Jabong. The Mid Rise Skinny Jeans from the house of 109°F at 70% off caught my eye and the Stretchable Cotton Spandex is as always my fav pick for comfort.

There are numerous of cool combinations to bring up your cool side up and pair up a colored denim with lacy tops, cozy knitwears, button down shirts and much more. But I decided to break the rules and matched a comfortable thigh length top by Meira with it. A collared sleeveless top beautifully highlight my collarbone and neckline while drawing away attention from my slim waistline. :P

So my objective to create a everyday look got accomplished as I completed the look with classic black sandal having buckle closure, a statement necklace with nulticolored stones and a delicate bracelet :)  

Time for a selfie before I conclude ;)

Cure Puffy Eyes With Aroma Essentials Eye Pillows

Many cosmetic issues keep bothering us every now and then. One of my concern is the puffy eye bags and dark circles. The dark circle under my eyes are quite adamant and are staying for many years now. So they are not gonna go very easily, I know. I keep trying different quality products to prevent them getting any worse. But the puffiness was actually not an issue with me ever, which has started showing up occasionally. I guess its a signal to me that I'm tired, stressed out, and not living at optimal health. Few days back, I suffered from really bad eye allergy; due to which I could barely open my eyes properly and I still had to attend office and push myself do all the jobs assigned like usual days. But what got affected was my blogging routine. I hardly wrote any posts, became irregular being online and it makes me feel really low.  :(

After facing so much of trouble, I've been instructed to include food items rich in vitamins, especially A, C and E in my meals to help maintain clear, moist under eye skin and reduce eye puffiness. Also I'm sleeping enough in the afternoon after I reach home from office that actually was not a part of my routine ever.. Things are getting slightly better now.

Other than these practices, I had been experimenting with eye packs to fight itchy eyes, when I used Eye Pillows sent by Aroma Essentials. 

These Eye Pillows are like li'l bags filled with Oats and Green Tea. As per instructions, I boiled the eye pillows in water for 2-3 minutes.

On boiling, the contents inside the bags will be partially visible and it will change the color of water in which you are boiling them.

Take the eye pillows out of water and refrigerate it to let it cool. Now, squeeze the excess water (if any) and place these over eyes for 20 minutes while laying down.
I used the eye pillows in the night and felt great relaxation in the irritated eyes. The eye pillows containing green tea is enriched with anti-oxidants, tannins and caffeine. So using these eye pillows helps to reduce water in the tissues around the eyes and controls puffiness.

One set of Aroma Essentials Eye Pillows can be used for a week. After every use, we can store them in refrigerator. If they get dried out in the fridge when you are ready to use it next time, just run them under tap water for a few minutes and use them as earlier. In my first experience, one of the eye pillow got torn after three uses and I had to throw it. But next time, it continued being fine with multiple usages. I wish the size of the eye pillows can be slightly bigger, so that they don't slip from eyes. The issue of my eyebags is almost resolved now and I'm hoping to have brighter eyes after prolonged use of these handmade, purely safe eye pillows :)

If you have any remedies or suggestions for curing my dark circles, I would appreciate if you share and help me. TIA

Girly Guide to Glitz and Glamour

I'm in a profession where I happen to meet, interact and spend time with teenage girls everyday. Despite my conscious effort, these girls dressed in delightful outfits catch my eyeballs almost instantaneously. I simply cannot refuse to notice that how smartly these young girls recreate impressive 'celebrity-like looks' for themselves everyday. Indeed, the young generation not only adopts the latest fashion quickly, but also has the guts to create its own style and its own rules.

Jeans is an indispensable staple in a girl's wardrobe. And there is nothing as classy when a contemporary pair of jeans is shortened to ankle or even turn into sassy shorts to transform a simple look into superbly outstanding. Rugged jeans, inscription decorated jeans, laced jeans, polka dotted jeans, are one of the coolest fashion trends that a stylish girly ensemble includes.

To show off the curves, don't be afraid to play with expertly tailored wrap dresses or a tuck-in silk blouse/crop top with high-waist skirt. Oh! You cannot escape the charm of flowy maxi dresses and jumpsuits that beautifully elongates your height and frame. An easy yet elegant asymmetrical,loose-fitting dress can be your friend on any day this season and is a must-have to complete your selection. Such dresses for girls are beyond the scope of commonness without being extravagant.

Amid the selection of edgy clothing, some of the most intriguing jewellery pieces might not be losing the sight :) Season's best look would seem incomplete without delicate hair adornments, earrings, cuffs, bracelets, and necklaces to make it a glitzy affair. The rose gold toned pieces are truly adored by girls these days.

The collegiate teens and young working women can make sure to leave an impression adorning fine lightweight jewellery without looking over-dramatic. Indulging in feminine jewellery pieces brings life to every outfit and upgrade even dullest of the look. A cherished gemstone ornament can be a sophisticated addition to any ensemble, whether you style it with casual jeans or an evening gown. A sparkling bauble or a bold cocktail ring is accepted as the perfect accessory to add finishing touch for a girly ensemble these days.

There are endless possibilities a girl can come up with to release the spark of her dignified personality. The key is to experiment without suspicion and bring out the precision ;) :)

Mixed Bag Shopping from Bornpretty Store

I've shopped several times from Bornpretty Store and every time I'm about to place an order, the only thing in mind is to choose something from a category that is still unexplored :) So what I did this time is to pick one or two items from different sections including Jewelry & Accessories, Nail Art, Makeup & Beauty and Hair Decoration. 
I'm really excited to put up the show for this recent shopping..so lets get started ;)

Color mixing in retro jewelry pieces is so fascinating me these days. I loved this big necklace with an antiqued light gold finish that features colorful crystals in different shapes. Despite being so elaborate, the necklace is light weight and adds color to the life. Styling with formals, casuals, Indian or Western is entirely depends on occasion. If you love its design, but want the necklace in single color; Colorful Stone Necklace Retro Style Necklace Jewelry Decoration has three more choice of red, green and black colored stones that are equally adorable.

This plain fuschia pink necklace looked super cute to me for its geometric cuts. The lobster clasped triangular pieces look so flattering around your neck. This triangular pendant necklace has few color choices like Black, Green and Blue other than the Pink one. I enjoyed styling it with my monochrome dress for adding an instant pop of color.

In my previous purchase from Bornpretty Store, I had got a gold toned multi-layered chain bracelet which earned me really good number of compliments from everyone. This time, I liked a bangle-patterned bracelet that's not in bright yellow tone of Golden, but a more alluring rose gold that I admire more.
The Charming Bangle Bracelet has hollow hearts carved in front with elegant rhinestone detailing.. It is prettier than what I expected :)

After these lovely picks from jewelry section, I digged the Nail Art section to get some basic nail care and nail art tools to make life easy. I got a Crescent shaped Nail Sanding File Buffer with Acrylic Gel Tips. It has definitely contributed in my routine nail care and is smooth to work with.
Being new to nail art, I thought of getting a Nail Art Sticker Trimmer Tool. It not only helps to stick nail decals nicely, but also helps to push the cuticles back without hurting. Glad I chose this one.
I also ordered a Wooden Dotting Pen that is a bliss to use by nail art newbies like me. There were two options to choose from. Both the tools have two dotting balls on either ends in different sizes, but they differ in their straight and curved ends. (I chose the curved one)

Now something from another category i.e. Hair Styling ;) I'm seriously bored of my same hairstyle since many years. I'm actually not daring enough to experiment with trendy haircuts. I thought trying my hands on using some hair styling tools would be a better idea than to cry over a spoiled haircut later.. lolz... 

So here are the items I finally ordered... an Anti-Static Double Headed Comb made of unbreakable material for sectioning and styling my hair, an easy to use hair styling tool i.e. Magic Hair Bun Maker. It can give me the confidence of taming my long, wavy hair into an altogether a new look without any visit to professional salons. 

Next what I bought is truly a game changer. I've been noticing many stylists doing tutorials on getting a clean pouf for everyday look or party look. But not everyone has the time and skills to get everything right at the place. To avoid all that messy affair, I ordered a Hair Bump Styling Volumizer which is self-gripped hair tool to give straight silky hair a nice pouf. The pack contained the tools in two sizes and gets you party ready in a matter of few minutes creating many elegant hair styles.

Another item in my wishlist was a makeup brush since very long. I purchased an Angled brush for easy and even application of makeup. It's so light and soft to touch. The brushes are available in four patterns i.e. flat, angled, round and tapered. The Professional Cosmetic Brush is said to be made of good quality Artificial Fiber and Goat Hair. 

I feel I did a fantabulous job filling up my cart with great items from varied categories. And why not, Bornpretty Store has wide array of makeup, accessories, clothing products in excellent quality. Its almost impossible to stop after one-time shopping experience.

Worldwide Free Shipping and flexible payment options are also the reason to attract returning customers like me. I can't wait to style myself using this stuff and sharing my looks with you soon.

Memorable Mumbai Moments

'Travel' and 'Friends' make the best of duo. Exploring new places and capturing incredible moments on the way develops the closest bond forever. The golden moments that we spend with friends while travelling are fine tuned that actually make our hearts beat in rhythm. The friends who love to travel with me are some of the most affectionate friends I could possibly ever ask for.

Lucky me that I got an invite from my bestie Babita few months back to accompany her for a not-so-long trip to Mumbai. I swear, such unplanned trips can give me a high any time ;) I was excited n happy as a clan ...... no wonder that it was my repeated rings on her doorbell next morning that woke my bestie up....And then started our undeniably fun-filled train journey... The journey actually liberated our minds off things for the little while when we were enjoying exclusive goodies in the train that we usually don’t get elsewhere.

Searching for a well-connected accommodation in the city had not been a task as the city offered us wide choices of affordable hotels in Mumbai. We chose to stay at three-star rated Astoria Hotel to enjoy the cool sea breeze of the Arabian Sea and amicable cordiality.

The magnificent beaches, holy temples, sculpted caves & amusement parks in the City of Dreams & Aspiration officially turned my dream into reality. I was living my dreams and making memories with my lovely friend wherever we went... I was almost unstoppable capturing the beauty of the city..

We spent our first evening admiring the brilliant view of Marine drive. Sharing light chit-chat while relishing yummy snacky dishes had been surprisingly relaxing. The view of long 4km promenade shining with lights in the night proved why it is referred as Queen's Necklace.

Though I'm not a big fan of Cricket, but the most notable Wankhede cricket stadium is a must-visit. The Wankhede stadium has been the playground for famous Mumbai cricketers like Vijay Merchant, Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. The stadium has been home to some of the greatest cricketers to have played for the country and obviously has its own fair share of unforgettable memories attached to it.

No Bollywood fan can afford missing a glimpse of Mannat, our very own heartthrob SRK's house. Just like crazy SRK fans, I couldn't scribble any colourful messages on the walls of his house, but could manage to get few pictures clicked at the gate of this six storey high bungalow of Baadshah ;)

The sun rose another day with our introduction to serenity when we stepped-in at The Global Vipassana Pagoda, one of the largest stone monuments in Asia. The monument honours Gautama Buddha, explains his Teaching and expresses gratitude to Myanmar for preserving Vipassana Meditation. The genuine relics of the Buddha are enshrined here. The pristine beauty of the place felt deeply therapeutic to the soul and seemed nothing less than an extension of Heavens on Earth. A sense of sheer pride filled our heart to witness such a beacon of Peace and Harmony in the heritage treasury of our country.

Our trip could not have any better conclusion than this self-realization of wholesome human qualities at Pagoda. We returned home possessing a clearer conscience that could now acknowledge compassion more readily. I genuinely would treasure the memorable moments I accumulated at Mumbai and on my way back home, the only thing that I could sing in my heart was--

Medimix Ayurvedic Intimate Wash Review

Hi Everyone

Today, I'll be talking about a not-easily acceptable theme i.e. intimate care. Whether we accept it or not, most of us have experienced issues related to unhealthy vaginal area at some point of time and also lacked proper guidance.

Why I needed an intimate care product?

Its not very long since I'm in a regular practice of using intimate care products. Just like most females, I also believed that cleaning the intimate area with plain water and usual bathing bar would do the needful. I usually cursed the unhygienic toilets that I needed to use at office etc, but never realized that my dry, itchy vaginal skin actually requires something gentle to prevent those frequent infections.

Now that I know how important it is for a female to choose a properly tested intimate wash, I make sure to keep one handy all the time to avoid the risk of diseases like UTI.

Recently, I tested a newly introduced Ayurvedic Intimate Wash sent by a trusted Indian brand Medimix that is quite popular for its classic herbal soap range since generations. And I'm ready to unveil the secret of healthy intimate area ...

Product Claims:

Medimix Ayurvedic Intimate Hygiene wash is a safe and effective personal hygiene formulation enriched with smoothing and emollient substances. It keeps you fresh and fragrant while reducing itching, irritation and other skin infection.

Herbal Formulation:

The Medimix Ayurvedic Intimate Wash is the world’s first Intimate wash made using the expertise of Cholayil and the rich secrets of ancient Kerala Ayurveda. It consists of the choicest natural ingredients like extracts of Lime, Rosemary, Neem, Sage, Aloe, Vetiver and Bisabolol, Vegetable Glycerine and Natural Oils. 

Non-Synthetic Composition:

The brand has not only infused extracts of various herbs in the product, but has set an example to offer an efficient composition for women by totally avoiding chemicals like SLES, Alcohol, Paraben, Sulphate, Nitosamine etc.

Packaging: 

The product comes in a see-through plastic bottle. I like the cute curvy shape of the bottle for better grip. The bottle is encased in the outer cardboard carton as shown.

The press-to-open cap has small opening underneath that lets you take out just the right amount of product quantity needed per use. To me, its as good as a pump dispenser. I'm quite comfortable to carry this light-weight bottle in my bag.

Fragrance & Texture: 

The Medimix Intimate Wash is clear gel in thin consistency. Only a few drops of liquid is sufficient to cleanse the intimate area. Despite being an ayurvedic formulation, the product doesn't smell as peculiar or unbearable as traditional products, rather it has really pleasant fragrance to keep the skin odor-free for quite long. I'm liking the feminine soft fragrance of the product.

My Experience:

Massaging a few drops of this clear gel intimate wash around your intimate area is the only requisite. It produces enough lather. Rinsing it off with plain water ensures effective cleansing.

The product also contains lactic acid that promotes the growth of good bacteria responsible for maintaining a healthy vagina. It also controls the pH level of delicate intimate zone by keeping the protective layer of vagina in good condition, whereas a normal bodywash used down below significantly disturbs the ideal pH level and turns out to be the main cause of unpleasant situations. In simplest words, if this defense mechanism of vaginal area functions properly, we are safe from all kinds of discomfort, irritation, and infections.

Since Medimix intimate wash is a mild formula, it is safe for everyday use. Not only the product keeps your delicate area odor-free in routine usage, but also soothes the unbearable sting around your private part during menstrual cycle. Great relief you see!!

The assurance of gynaecologically and dermatologically tested product comes at the pocket-friendly price of Rs. 150 for a 100 ml pack. Its widely available in online stores like Snapdeal for easy delivery at your doorstep.

To conclude, Medimix Ayurvedic Intimate Wash is a highly recommended product for women who are bound to attract additional care of their intimate zone. I feel Medimix is all set to expand its range and further its vision of "Ayurvedic Happiness" for all. 

Hope you are now convinced to use an Intimate wash. If you've used this product, do share your experience in comments..

Have Fun Under The Sun With Summer Essentials Kit by Maybelline

"Ditch the heavy makeup and opt for a light summery makeup look" would be the best advice by any makeup expert to all lovely ladies at this point of time when most of us are sweating profusely. Practically, you cannot avoid using absolutely NO MAKEUP since you need to regulate your skin tone and wear a neat look while stepping out of house. But yes, one can definitely choose to look as natural and fresh as morning dew by applying few essential makeup products and skipping many others.

Maybelline has curated a Summer Essentials Kit for pretty women to #StaySummerFresh all the day long. The kit is a cute golden shimmery zip pouch that I really loved. The zip lock has the brand name engraved on it and is spacious enough to hold few basic products of your everyday routine. After I took out the contents from the kit, the kit has made a permanent space in my handbag to organize tiny stuff which usually get missing in my oversized handbag. :)

Contents of My Maybelline Summer Essentials Kit 

Since the products are from one of my favourite makeup brand, I had no apprehensions but only great expectations about what would I find inside. And here is what all popped out  of it..

Sweaty facial skin needs touch up quite frequently these humid days. Its a good practice to use absorbing sheet to clean up your face and then applying a compact powder to combat unwanted shine on face for many hours, thereby keeping the skin brightened to your desire. For quite some time, I've been using n admiring the skin perfecting compact by Maybelline in shade Coral and wanted to test one shade lighter for my medium toned complexion. I really had been lucky to receive White Super Fresh Compact in shade Shell in my kit. This range of compact powder has perlite in it, which is a pure mineral to give skin perfecting powers and also to lighten the complexion while absorbing sweat and oil. I would be glad to flatter a well-blended look with long lasting flawless finish on my face without worrying for cakey skin.

Price: Rs. 150

Looking after my lips is as important as covering my face and body with a layer of protective sunscreen. In summers, I prefer to go neutral or just to have a light touch of color on my lips. Saving the deep shade lipsticks for fall, I love switching over to lip balms for dual fun...They keep the lips hydrated for all day long and give flattering color too. As I found the Baby Lips in shade Cherry Kiss in my kit, I was simply amazed to have yet another flavour of lip balm that I'm addicted to. This gorgeous shade makes my lips look juicy, healthy n bright & brings along the benefit of SPF 20 to protect my lips. I've been loving my Berry Sherbet shade of Baby Lips and now got another favourite to add up ;)

Price: Rs. 175

Last, but not the least; the most adored product of most women from Maybelline range came in my kit i.e. Colossal Kajal in deepest black shade. This product has earned me many compliments when it stays put without smudge during my long working hours. The color pay off is better than decent but I want more intensity to it. Loaded with Vitamin E and no irritation to my eyes have been another plus points for the product.
Price: Rs 200

All in all, if you access to this Summer Essential Kit, most of your beauty needs are sorted in one go and you are ready to have fun under the sun ;)

What all products are your summer picks? Do let us know in comments :)
