Bridal Files {Your Opinion}

· · 6 Comments

Since, I told you about the upcoming weddings of two lovely ladies and their request on some skin care and hair care tips, I decided to do a bridal series instead. Actually, why I didn’t do it till date was because I thought I would broach the topic when mine would be fixed 😀 Anyways, I don’t think its going to happen int he near future so I shall as well make a diary of things which I would like to do when I would be a bride. This would serve as a diary for me and hopefully prove helpful for you.
So, I was just thinking about the series and have broken it up into various parts.
  • Skin Care
  • Hair care
  • Fitness Regime
  • Outfits
  • Makeup Looks
  • Hair Style
  • Salon Treatments
  • Corrective Treatments
Do give me your feedback and help me add to the list.

Sugar Body Scrub with a twist {DIY}

· · 5 Comments

Ok, let me confess that making a DIY every week is really not easy for So, today’s recipe is almost a copy of the sugar body polish which I have posted long back. I could think of nothing else and I have so many products to finish that it simply discourages me from whipping anything up. So, I have decided that next week I shall bring you a different series of DIY’s which will include Essential Oils because currently, I am a lot into them.
Ingredients
  • 3 table spoon sugar
  • 1 table spoon fuller’s Earth or multani mitti
  • 1 table spoon rose petals powder
  • 1 tablespoon spices (mixture of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves)
  • Honey (as required)
  • Essential Oils (optional)

Method

Mix all the ingredients except EO and honey. Add honey and make a gooey paste. Add 1-2 drops of your favorite drops of EO’s and, scrub and rub a dub 🙂
Results
Awesomely soft and instantly glowing skin. Moisturize well and sleep off to protect this glow and it will last you for days together. Do this once a week for a good scrubbing.
The rose petals provide luxury and spices provide a spicy edge to the scrub. And, you will like the smell too.
Hope you like it 🙂 

My Hair Diaries – February 2012

· · 13 Comments

So, the second month is over and I am putting down my second entry in my hair diaries journal. I didn’t try out any DIY or any hardcore deep conditioning treatment coz I am too lazy. But, some product probably saved my hair.
What did I do in February?
  • Ok, I added rosemary EO to the shampoo to give it a nice twist and see how would the results turn out. So far, its fine but nothing extra-ordinary.
  • Now, you would also be interested in how rosemary EO worked for me which I mentioned in my last month’s hair diary. I have not seen any major improvement or anything but to be honest, it’s a little soon to say anything as hair always takes time to show any difference.
  • Also, I heard that cinnamon is amazing in increasing blood circulation so I was thinking of getting its EO. And, I would be researching more on the EO’s good for hair and would be reporting back.
  • And, I did regular oil treatments, not even hot. That was the limit to my hair care routine. I know I gotta try harder to reach my goal!!!
  • Btw, my hair is already developing split ends. I know why? Because, my hair had been uncut for a long time and the hair cut last month had not been more than a little trim and style change so I gotta trim my hair a little regularly till all the split ends are resolved.
Products Used
So, guys, any tips which I should use???
