Sample Kit From Just Herbs

Hello Beauties !!!

How are you all doing? I've been missing for quite a long, but hey, not any more.
Today we'll be viewing the Sample Kit from Just Herbs. Just Herbs have been making a lot of buzz in the organic skin/ hair care market for quite a long now. So, I really wanted to try some of their products, but at the same time didn't want to invest in big/ full size packages without knowing whether the products will actually suit me or not. So, I contacted Just Herb people through their whatsapp service. One thing that truly impressed me was their quick response to my queries. They are always available to help you through their whatsapp services. I asked them that I would like to try the samples of some their products. They offered me a Sample Kit containing 6 product sample (of my choice) at quite a nominal Price of Rs 645/- ( Including Shipping).

Cute Packaging !!!

                         
Some of you might not think its nominal, as they are just sample sized bottles and containers, but the fact that they are made of natural herbs and are safe and organic, makes them luxurious. Isn't it?

My View and Review : Tresemme Keratine Smooth Infusing Shampoo

If you follow my blog or have read the previous post, then you are well aware that i m not as such a hoarder of cosmetic or skin/hair care  products ( I know its weird coming from a beauty blogger, but I have just  started my journey). I use very few products on my hair. I'm a freak when it comes to my hair, i dont experiment with they too much but i change my shampoo every 3-4 months or put any specific brand on rotation because I heard that if we keep using the same shampoo for much long period, hair gets immune to that shampoo and it doesn't work to the best of its capabilities. So I wanted to change my shampoo and few months ago, my cousin suggested that i should give Tresemme Keratin Smooth Infusing Shampoo a try. So bought this one.
I usually have very tamed hair, i rarely suffer from bad-hair days (touchwood.). They are normal - dry, slightly wavy straight hair. No major hair problems, except that they are very thin (I think that runs in my family). During winters, they sometimes loose shine, still nothing serious.
Frankly, i was impressed that a keratin shampoo is available at such affordable price and i have used Tresemme smooth and shine in past and impressed with it, so i gave this one a try.

 So what is Keratin?

Keratin is a protein which is naturally there in our hair, but we lose it due to endless reasons and thats where frizz comes in picture. Here comes tresemme keratin smooth infusing shampoo to the rescue.

Product Description 

Packaging

I bought 600ml Bottle which is the biggest size available in market. It comes in a sturdy Red bottle with pump, very salonish types. I like. but this particular size is not travel friendly but other 200ml an d 100 ml are cool for travel purposes.

Ingredients 

My Take -  I feel this is one shampoo i ever needed in my life. I'm  very happy with the results. Tresemme claims Keratin range contains very less Sulfate, I don't know whether it is right or not but i m very happy with the results. It leave my hair smooth and completely frizz free. It has enhanced the shine in my hair. The is smell is very typical floral smell which is not overpowering and stays for long.

Pros-

Smoother and Shinier hair
control Frizz
Mild Floral Fragrance
nicely cleanses hair and scalp
Manageable- ready to style hair
claims to contain less sulfates
Contains keratin - building protein for hair
It does straightens my hair, but my hair are already straight
and its affordable

Cons-

It doesn't add any Volume to my hair
It is a Unilever Products- which tests on animals

Recommendation - I'm very happy with the results. I totally recommend it. It is currently the best option available in market to control the frizz. It straightens hair but does not add any volume, so if your looking for a shampoo to add volume to your hair then skip this one.

Rating - 4/5

How To Deal With Aunt Flo

We all know "That time of month"is no fun. As women, we can all sympathize with each other and some of us more than others. But complaining and whining about them is no solution. Try not to take it out on others around you, it's not their fault that you feel lousy. Don't let your period bother you so much with every monthly visit.

First of all lets identify the problems we suffer during this period which we refer to as PMS - Bloating, constipation, cramps, mood swings, tender breasts , craving ( yes !! chocolates and ice creams and cakes that u crave endlessly for), sluggish and tired and restless.

I know when PMS time is around we want to reach for that cookie in our kitchen or all the junk cook (comfort food ) that we can find easily around us and lock ourselves in our rooms for next 5 days. I have learned a lot of tricks to deal with the painful cramps over years :-

1) Drink plenty of water - I know its a no brainer and it has been suggested by every other person on this planet for this cure. But do we really follow it. Choose water instead of coca-cola, caffeine or teas. They could actually increase muscle cramps. Water is pure and is good for your body health all around.

2) Take a bath - Focus on feeling better and pamper yourself with a relaxing bath. This can help you ease cramps . To maximize the experience, throw a both bomb or use bath salts like jasmine and lavender or just pour some body wash and chill baby !!!
                                              
3) Do Yoga - Although yoga is beneficial for everyday stress and anxiety, it is especially crucial during PMS. Yoga will help you relax and balance your mood. Specific poses helps in giving relief from cramps. You can do Child's pose, Forward bending (sitting and standing), fish pose, triangle pose, cobra pose etc. but if any pose feels uncomfortable, make sure you stop immediately.

4) Take hot water bottle or Heating pads - This is a method which works well when I'm about to go to sleep and can't get settled because of irritating cramps. It helps easing the tension in your muscles and lessen any pain you're feeling.

                                                                                                                      

5) Multivitamins, Iron and Calcium Supplements - If you want to get rid of pain in a safe way, make sure your iron levels, A, B, B6, C, D and E vitamins and calcium etc are in check is a great way to help reduce menstrual related pain. taking these supplements will make drastic change in your pain relief and it will also regularize them as well. 

                                         

6) Massage - One of my Favorite techniques to relive menstrual pain is by massage. Messaging your stomach helps relieve menstrual pain! You can do it yourself, or have your sweetheart help you out. Gentle Strokes and circular motions with light pressure on your abdomen area will help relax your muscles and relieve some of the pain and tension you are experiencing.

7) Avoid Junk Food, Have herbal Teas - A big reason to avoid junk at this time of month is, it contains refined carbohydrates and trans fat and salt. They all contribute to water retention. And who wants to go through that when one is already feeling bloated.
                                        

There are so many ways to relieve menstrual pain! Periods dont mean your life has to stop. Have you ever trued any of these methods and ways to relieve menstrual pain? Different women suffer in Different ways and have many different ways to relieve the pain, so I'd like to know yours!!!! 

                                            

P.S While writing this I was constantly remembering of one the most amazing episodes of F.r.i.e.n.d.s, the one with soap opera party. If you are a F.r.i.e.n.d.s fan, then you know what I'm talking about. ;)

                                         

P.P.S Just bring me cupcakes, tell me I’m pretty, and leave me alone. #PMSing, #Moody #Cranky #hungry

Miracle Plant : Aleo Vera for Hair

Hey Bubblys!!!

These days due to strong anti-biotics which I was taking regularly because or cold and soem infection I got in this changing weather, I'm suffering from so much hair-fall that it makes me cry and shout. So my mom suggested me some ghar ke nuskhe ( home-made remedies), and said that I should use Aleo Vera.

Who doesn't want all that shiny, healthy, long dandruff free hair. I'm no different.

What are the hair problems in face in day to day life?

• Dandruff
• Hair loss
• Balding
• Dryness and Roughness
• Losing sheen 

Aloe vera, when combined with some other natural ingredients can help us solve our hair problems or reduce them. With aloe vera hair fall can be drastically reduced and hair thickness can be maintained. 

A healthy hair should be moist a little bit. Moist hair looks and feels healthy. But in today's changing weather conditions, the moisture is lost fast. Aloe vera helps in retaining the moisture.

 You can make your own Leave-on aleo vera gel by using simple and easy available ingredients for healthy shiny hair.

- In just 1/4th cup of almond oil mix 3/4th cup of fresh aleo vera gel and viola your Leave- on portion  is ready which will keep your hair moisturize. (i will post the DIY pic soon)

Dandruff

Thanks to Dear God, I don't suffer from Dandruff infection that much and that often. But yes once it happened and for me that was horror!!! Aleo Vera came to my rescue :) 

Many dandruff control shampoos and oils contain aloe vera due to its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial qualities. These properties are helpful to prevent your scalp from dandruff infection.The gel-like element in aloe vera, if applied to scalp, restores the pH balance of the scalp.

- By regular application of aloe gel on scalp you can get rid of dandruff. The mixture of fenugreek seeds(soaked methi dana) with aloe gel is much more effective to cure dandruff and condition hair. you can use 1 tea-spoon fenugreek seed soaked in water overnight with half cup of aleo vera gel and then use it as a conditioner ( you can use this conditioner on your scalp as well)

- Pour some amount of aloe vera oil according to your hair in your hand and apply it to your hair. It will help you to be free from dandruff.

- 1 lemon, 1/2 cup of aloe vera gel, and some essential oils can work wonders on an itchy scalp. If you feel you will not be able to prepare this at home. Look for shampoos or hair creams with these ingredients.

Hair Loss

I and I know many girls like me who are suffering with this problem. So here is solution. Choose the shampoo that high content of aleo vera and coconut milk. And hey ladies you can make your shampoo.

-  Make an aloe vera shampoo. When combined with wheat germ oil and coconut milk, aloe vera gel makes a shampoo to promote hair growth. Use the shampoo as often as you wash your hair.

- Combine aloe vera therapies with a balanced low-fat, low-protein diet. Diets high in fat and animal protein cause a number of medical reactions that lead to hair loss.

Dryness and roughness: 

Hair when exposed to pollutants and foreign particles tends to break and fall. Even sun exposure can cause hair loss. An aloe vera conditioner can work wonders with this problem. This gel is soothing and cooling. Therefore it can be used after shampooing or you can use a stabilized aloe vera gel available in the market as a leave on gel.

Losing sheen:

Hair after a particular age tends to lose sheen and becomes dull. Aloe vera can be used to get back that sheen. You can mix aloe vera with any skin care gel (1/2 any gel and 1 aloe vera gel) to give you a sheen that lasts all day and in the process provides nourishment to your hair. Aloe vera is known to be in use for a very long time. It is said that the secret of Cleopatra's beauty was aloe vera.

I hope this post of some use for you, if yes kindly follow up and let your friends know about me n my post.

Love

Caution :- if by any of  the homemade methods your scalps gets to burning or highly itchy  remove immediately.

       many  people have allergy from aloe Vera, so consult your doctor or do a patch test before proceeding if you are not aware

Just for those beautiful eyes - Tips on Eyelashes

Most women try hard to get long, thick and full eyelashes. Taking care of eyelashes and maintaining them should be a routine. Long, thick and curling eyelashes beautifully enhance women's eyes and make their faces more striking. Some fortunate women have beautiful eyelashes and many of us crave for them. Which woman doesn’t want to flaunt fluttering eyelashes that make many men fall for it? Here are some tips for you to get gorgeous eyelashes naturally.

Eyelash Curler:- 

Some women have to admit that they cannot be without having to the hand a eyelash curler. This magic machine that allows our eyelashes not to appear as arrows, turning them in a few minutes very curl. The certain thing is that some women are born with straight, other with the eyelashes down, and others, with a few spectacular and curved eyelashes that are the envy of all.The eyelash curler uses very much, so much in the natural makeup as in by night. Among other things, there helps that our eyes look more opened.

The most common on the market are those who have pressure on all the eyelashes and are practical to use: The curler be placed near the roots of the top eyelashes; Assure that all the eyelashes, including those of the corners should be inside the curler.

Olive Oil/Castor Oil:-

You can apply castor oil or olive oil on your eyelashes to make it beautiful and long. Apply it with a clean mascara brush on your eyelashes. Make sure the oil doesn’t get inside your eyes. If the oil gets in your eyes, then rinse your eyes thoroughly with water. Keep the oil overnight and wash it off in the morning with an oily eye makeup remover. Removing it is very necessary as it may attract dirt and will spoil the effect. Applying castor oil or olive oil ensures beautiful thick lashes and it makes it black too.

Vaseline:-

Add a coat of vaseline to your eyelashes every night before bed. This will strengthen your lashes. If your eyelashes are naturally dark, you can also apply a very small amount of vaseline or clear lip gloss to your eyelashes in lieu of mascara, or as a base for your mascara. This makes them shiny and thick.

Make-up Remover:-

The long and thick eyelashes are attractive. To achieve this effect; an indispensable condition, remove the makeup carefully every night, because they have the risk that they break. And eliminated for your daily use any waterproof mascara. They`re too difficult to remove and not delicate with the eyelashes.

Trim Your Lashes:-

Although it is a lesser known method, many people vouch on it. Trim your eyelashes but make sure that you trim a very little part of the tip of eyelashes. Cutting it much can harm your eyes and even infect your eyes. Also let a specialist cut it as if you try it yourself the scissors may poke in your eyes and may even leave you blind in some cases.

Cure Dandruff

Dandruff has bad effect not only on hair but on the eyelashes too. Curing dandruff will help grow eyelashes beautiful. However never apply a dandruff shampoo on the eyelashes. Instead try to remove dandruff by keeping the hair clean and using remedial oil on them. Also sometimes stress too make the eyelashes weak. Taking stress not only makes the eyelashes weak but has bad effect on the whole well-being.

Green Tea:-

Natural Home Remedies recommends applying cool, unsweetened green tea to your lashes with a cotton ball to take advantage of green tea's beneficial properties. As with all home remedies for eyelash growth, take care not to get the liquid into your eye, and rinse well with cool water if you do.

Eyelid Massage

Massaging your eyelids gently can increase blood flow and may stimulate growth of lashes, according to Grow Eyelashes. After washing your hands well, use the pads of your fingers to massage along your lids and lash line.

Glycerin

Applying glycerin mixing it with castor oil will make the eyelashes strong, beautiful and long. Apply it at night, leave it overnight and wash off in the morning. Soon you will find yourself with beautiful eyelashes. You can even use egg-whites for making it blacker and beautiful. Beat the egg white and apply it on the lashes in very little amount with the help of a clean mascara brush and wash off in the morning.

Eat Proper Meal

Nothing can beat a balanced diet. Eat a proper meal with vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates. Take fruit juices, dairy and dairy products. Incorporate green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet and see the magic in few days. Drink plenty of water to flush the toxins out. Sleep for at least eight hours and include some exercise in your daily life. It not only will make your eyelashes gorgeous, it will have an effect on your total well-being.
