I invested in a reverse osmosis or RO machine some time back. I wasn’t too sure of the quality of the water we were accepting as pure and fresh from the vendors of the 20 liter plastic cans. And it was getting tedious to boil the water before we drank it, allowing for time to cool it down not to mention the amount of gas … Continue reading Product Review: Kent RO Machine
A while ago, I came across a brand that claimed to be 100% natural and made by following age-old homemade recipes, in an Ayurvedic manner and completely free from parabens, phthalates, SLS, sulphates, silicones, polysorbates and PEG too- NATHABIT. Over the last couple of months, I have primarily used their face products and found that while they haven’t entirely aided in my pigmentations or acne … Continue reading Product Review: Clay Detox Face Pack
I recently got my mother a book stand. She’s an avid reader and reads newspapers, paperbacks and hardcover books as well. Since each one of these articles varies in size and weight, she needed a firm stand which wouldn’t take up too much when she wasn’t reading. A bit of research on the internet let me to this- The Near Stop Book Stand. A product … Continue reading Product Review: Foldable Book Stand
Charcoal is known for many benefits for the skin and over time has found its way into many beauty and skin products that we tend to use. Having a slightly gritty texture, it tends to be a natural exfoliant and its biggest uses are in cleansing skin, unclogging pores and removing deeper impurities. Mint on the other hand, works as an astringent and tones the … Continue reading Product Review: Charcoal and Mint Scrub

I recently came across a fantastic product online and the brand name is associated … Continue reading Product Recommendation: Body Polish
My previous post was about a great product I was using for the first time- an electric callus remover. The product I’ll be highlighting today is a great follow-on item once the callus remover has been used- an herbal foot scrub from Vaadi Herbals. Vaadi Herbal’s claim to fame is an age-old Ayurvedic heritage that goes back 150 years. Catering to different product categories like … Continue reading Product Recommendation: Herbal Foot Scrub
I have inherited chronically dry skin on my feet. This doesn’t mean I always have cracked soles and rough skin but a tendency to go towards both these things very quickly. And given my lack of arch in both feet, I need to maintain feet which aren’t just healthy but also capable of taking the load of a body without getting too much pain from … Continue reading Product Recommendation: Callus Remover
I love the idea of detergent pods. What’s not to love? They melt completely leaving no residue, they are easy to store, they are tiny and take up very little space barring the box they came in and they are an “all-in-one” product that negates the need for extra products like fabric softener extra. It’s a compact and complete package all by itself! Ariel launched … Continue reading Product Review: Detergent Pods
Using shampoo out of a bottle is now passé. We have shampoo cones, bars and lots of other hair care products that are floating around in the market. A not-so-recent pitch is one of scalp hair, which is separate from hair care. Here is where the differences lie: Scalp treatments unclog the hair follicles, releasing natural conditioning oils and help relieve a dry scalp and remove all those nasty dry … Continue reading Product Review: Scalp Scrub
Hello everyone! While most of us are familiar with these terms flying around all the time and pasted on the back of so many products on the actual and virtual shelves, from time to time we may forget what they actually stand for. Here’s a quick ready reckoner for the terms that many of our shopping choices contain. Do write in to me if I’ve … Continue reading Shopping dictionary
