I am the kind who has a low immunity which means I am very susceptible to infections. It all started when I was expecting and with the numerous complications that followed. A low immunity but naturally meant that I had to impose a lot of precautions on my lifestyle. For almost 6 months I was […]

Pre-Shampoo Deep Conditioner by Rustic Art {Product Review}
I have been going through the phase where I have been searching for that one product that my hair will love. While I love the oils and shampoos I use for my hair, I was still looking that *something* which my hair would absolutely love. My prayers were answered post a wait. I received the […]
My eco-mantras – Part 1 {Green Living}
Sometimes I am just amazed at all that I buy and I seriously wonder what prompted me to buy things that I did not need. And of course, with two rapidly growing boys, there are more things than you can imagine. I need to de-clutter my home at least once in 3 months. It came […]
10 must haves for winter {Product Reviews}
R, another reader of my blog requested me to make a post on the things one needs to stock up for winter for skin care as well as hair care. (R, this one is for you! ). The winter has never been my best friend. I have enough skin and hair woes ranging from chapped lips, […]
Hibiscus Hair Conditioner – SoulTree
One of my blog readers ( yes A, that is you! ) who is totally into natural and organic products as much as I am, always introduces me to products that I may have missed. In one such conversation, she mentioned the conditioner of SoulTree that she was using and raved about it. I did […]
July Empties
The days were dreary and I am glad that the monsoon is finally ending and I hope the rains don’t show up too often now! I’ve been seeing the Empties post very often at the end of the month and well here is mine! 1. Omved Deep Facial Cleanser – This is one face wash […]
The monsoon must-haves {Staying Healthy}
With the monsoon settling in, I need to move away from the summer set of products to something that is very monsoon friendly. Right from the hair oil, shampoos, face and foot care to the diet I need to follow, everything changes! I try and switch over to products that moisturise my skin very slightly. […]
Lemon Verbena Body Wash by Azafran
I was introduced to Azafran with one of the life saving samples that came with the Enchantess Sampling Bag. The soap had an awesome fragrance and was really nice to use. A bit of search lead me to the entire range of products and I was lead to their range of body washes that I […]
Mud Aloe Shampoo by Nirvaaha
Correction, it is actually a mud aloe shampoo and conditioner by Nirvaaha. This came to me with a very high recommendation and with the earlier products that I had used from Nirvaaha, I was pretty sure that this would not fail my expectations. I have used their ubtans, soaps hair packs and the shampoo till […]
My Vellvette Journey
“I can’t believe that I endured you For as long as I did I’m happy, it’s over!” Yes, the lyrics from a popular song by The Corrs pretty much sums my experience with Vellvette. I fell for the trap and subscribed for 3 months and an optimism that luck would favour me and I would […]
The Incomplete Vellvette April Box
I received the Vellvette box today! I was hoping it would contain samples that I would use, especially after I have gifted away the last two boxes. Disappointed with the selection of samples I had been sent earlier, I had written to them. My Mail ….. Team Vellvette~ Hi! Just wanted to stop by to tell you […]

Come summers and everyone has to increase the intake of water to keep the body hydrated. It is also during this season that I indulge in a lot of detox drinks that help me flush out the toxins from the body and yes also keeps me away from my poison, Red Bull! Why I like […]
The March Vellvette Box
So, Vellvette created a huge brouhaha about subscribers getting an extra sample with every box for the next six months and there was a mad scramble with people cancelling and re-subscribing to get that extra sample. Why would anyone go through so much effort is quite beyond my comprehension. But then that is my thought! […]
Happy Feet by Soulflower
I love anything that can relax feet! I’ve been pretty happy with the Omved Foot Soak that I have been using for a while now. The fragrance of Happy Feet* was really heady and since I love peppermint, I picked this up. It did not live up to the claims it makes. That was quite a let […]
The February 2013 Vellvette Box
I was catching up on reviews on the Feb box and everyone was all very happy with what they received. I received my box too. Tied in a beautiful red ribbon with hearts all around it, was certainly an awesome way to relive Valentine Day, even if it was a week late :). That’s my […]
Vellvette Box – The December Edition
I’ve seen the reviews for Vellvette doing the rounds for a while now and I took that plunge and subscribed to the Velvlette Box. I’ve taken a three month subscription, something that I gifted myself for my birthday. And the much hyped box arrived and I must say that the pics are misleading and the box […]
Dandruff Control Ayurvedic Soya Protein Shampoo by Just Herbs
My quest for getting rid of dandruff introduced me to yet another shampoo. The shampoo I refer to here is the Dandruff Control Ayurvedic Soya Protein Shampoo by Just Herbs. I’ve used quite a few shampoos to help me combat that dandruff, but very few have been effective. The reason I look for more than […]
Iraya Classic Shikakai Shampoo
When I looked up the Iraya shampoo and the details at the Iraya website, I was quite happy that I managed to lay my hands on a perfectly good shampoo.It was only post delivery that I actually had a look at the ingredients in the shampoo and let me say, that I felt cheated. You […]

Orange Ginger Rice Bran Soap – Auravedic
Since my love for soaps is quite well-known, I am sure you would not be very surprised if I posted another soap review 🙂 I am reviewing the Orange Ginger Rice Bran Soap by Auravedic.

Rosemary Lavender Shampoo Bar – Soulflower
The only time I have used Shampoo bars was when my better half bought back the solid shampoo bars of Lush from his travels abroad. I’ve used Jumping Juniper, Godiva and Trichomania. When these solid shampoos are combined with their solid conditioner Jungle, you could never have a bad hair day! So, when I saw […]
Masks at Home {DIY, Skin Care}
When you are a mother to twins, you can actually wave a goodbye to any time for yourself, maybe that explains why I manage to get a facial once a year at a nice salon. Till I get to visit the salon, I need to depend on the quick fixes at home. While the Omved […]
Rub, Rub, Rub
Lush is one of my favourite brands. And one of my favourite fanatsy is to get five minutes in a lush store to pick up all that I wanted absolutely free! Since we live in a world of reality, I’d rather be happy to write a review of some of my favourite products. Today, I […]
Fab India – Soaps
If there is one thing ( let me make that two! and I’ll talk about the second one in a later post) I have a weakness for, it is soaps. Yes, I totally love them and when I walk into a lifestyle store that sell soaps, I try and veer away from that aisle […]
