Here are some packs for your hands

1. Honey and butter : To keep your hands soft and glowing take 1 tsbp of honey and 1 tsp of butter. Mix these two ingredients with a fork or a mini beater till it blends well. Apply this mix on your hands and keep it on for about 15 minutes. Wash your hands off with warm water.

2. Glycerin and lemon: Take 1 tbsp of any vegetable oil, one egg yolk, 1 tbsp each of lemon juice and glycerin. Mix these well to make a solution.

Apply this on your hands for about 20 minutes. Wash your hands with rose water. Use a mild soap to get away the eggy smell. Use a herbal moisturiser to apply on your hands.  Your hands will remain healthy and glowing.

Note: I replaced the veg oil with olive oil and the result was the same. So, if you do not like the smell of a veg oil, you can replace it with olive oil.

Some face packs

1. Blend one ripe banana and 1 tbsp of rose water in a mixer, and apply this on your face. Keep it on for at least 20 minutes and wash your face with lukewarm water.  You should do this regularly to ( at least once a week) for glowing skin.

2. I use a handful of almonds ground coarsely and mix it with water to get a grainy paste. I use this as a scrub in winters. The almonds release oils which moisturise your face.

3. My fav is the rice and sesame scrub

  • Parenting can be tough. Hope she gets well soon! #Repost @iamsonalibendre (@get_repost) ・・・ From the moment he was born 12 years, 11 months and 8 days ago, my amazing @rockbehl took ownership of my heart. From then on, his happiness and wellbeing have been the centre of anything @goldiebehl and I ever did. And so, when the Big C reared its ugly head, our biggest dilemma was what and how we were going to tell him. As much as we wanted to protect him, we knew it was important to tell him the full facts. We’ve always been open and honest with him and this time it wasn’t going to be different. He took the news so maturely… and instantly became a source of strength and positivity for me. In some situations now, he even reverses roles and takes on being the parent, reminding me of things I need to do! I believe that it’s imperative to keep kids involved in a situation like this. They are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for. It’s important to spend time with them and include them, rather than make them wait on the side-lines, not being told yet instinctively knowing everything. In our effort to protect them from the pain and realities of life, we might end up doing the opposite. I’m spending time with Ranveer right now, while he’s on summer vacation. His madness and shenanigans help me #SwitchOnTheSunshine. And today, we derive strength from each other #OneDayAtATime
  • It's a belief that wishes come true in the Dalai Lama temple. The boys and I took turns in lighting these lamps. Made our wishes. And we wait for it to come true. #mcleodganjdiaries #traveltrails
  • There is something that is enchanting about a windchime. I picked this up a few weeks ago and I never got around hanging this in my home. This is a #windchime is made of recycled products that makes it more special. Love the sounds the manjiras make when the wind blows. Did you know that a wind chime actually helps to dispel the negative energies at home and usher in positive ones? Do you have #windchimes at home? Bought this from @omvednatural. #omved

  • Probably one of the oldest recipes in our recipe books. We’ve drunk this golden milk when we were kids and so have our parents and we know how good this is! Turmeric in the milk is a powerful anti-oxidant that promotes immunity. All you need is one tumbler of piping hot turmeric milk to ease way the sniffles and congestion. Recipe for Turmeric Milk: Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Give it one boil and take off the gas. Add to this half a teaspoon of honey and half a teaspoon of turmeric powder mixed with a bit of water. Stir it blends completely. Place on gas again and place on lowest flame for abut 2 minutes till the flavours blend. Pour mixture through a strainer and drink it hot. #instafood #ayurveda #traditionalrecipe #turmeric #eatclean #pratsmusings #turmericmik #goldenmilk #monsoon #monsoonfood

  • Happiness! The first #brahmakamal is ready to bloom. 😍 Brahma Kamal, named after Brahma, the God of Creation, probably blooms only for one night in the entire year, somewhere between July and September.
