Coffee and Belly Fat {Weight Loss}

· · 2 Comments

A simple way to reduce belly fat is to cut down on coffee. Coffee causes the belly to distend and hence, it makes your tummy appear bulgy.
Another few ways to reduce belly fat is to cut down on alcohol and salt. Salt retains water so causes bloating in the stomach which makes you look bulkier in the middle. And, if you want to cut down on the fat, increase the consumption of herbal teas. They help to control the weight.

Is your skin itchy? {Skin Care}

· · 8 Comments

Winters are almost on the door step and my skin has already started to feel the cold and chill in the air. And, my skin has also turned itchy lately. So, why is it so? Because of the lack of moisturization. Yes, if you are facing the same problem, you might want to explore more options in the moisturizer and body butter departments.For me, I would say that Nivea worked really well. Yes, the original blue tin Nivea.
If budget is not a consideration, The Body Shop body butters are pretty much famous but if you do like to keep a tab, then, Nivea or any thick lotion would do the trick. And, if you still want more, you can go for the combination of body oils followed by body lotions. The key to control itchy skin is not let it get dry and this can also be helped from the inside by feeding on nuts. This is especially useful for people living in hills.

Biotique Basil and Parsley Cleanser {Product Review}

· · 10 Comments

Biotique soaps have always been intriguing for me and I have heard that the almond oil is amazing so I shall definitely check that out. Lets check out how this soap does in the mean time.Since I got these soaps during hotel stays, I have no idea about the price.
Ingredients 
even I couldn’t read the ingredient list clearly 😀
My Experience
This is a transparent soap and I wasn’t much of the hope that I would like it coz, generally, such soaps are really drying. But, I was wrong. This soap is gentle, mild, cleanses really well and doesn’t dry out the skin even in the drier weather of October. It smells nice and nothing overbearing and lathers well enough. And, I don’t think I have anything negative to say about the product.
My Recommendation
I would definitely recommend it. Its a good soap.
