Why You are Not able to Get Rid of Tea or Coffee Addiction?

Swathy · January 18, 2016 · 5 Comments

Twenty days into the New Year and my goals have all disappeared into thin air. This year I had made a decision of sticking to publishing on all days of the week. And, I have already defaulted twice. Another goal was to take care of my health and be active. A big problem in this area is my caffeine addiction.

I have become a huge addict of tea specifically in the last one and half year. I have to have a cup of tea twice a day or may be once more though my coffee addiction is way under control. I like savouring my beverages and, just like the Japanese, my tea time is very sacred for me. It is a ritual rather than a habit. A ritual which I have to leave on grounds of weight loss as well.

So, How to get rid of the Tea or Coffee addiction?

You Have Skipped the Caffeine Altogether

But, since it has become an addiction, I want to get rid of it this year. So, I have stopped taking coffee and tea altogether. And, now, I am facing the caffeine withdrawal symptoms.

If you are an mid-morning or an afternoon junkie, cutting down tea or coffee at that hour is very difficult and you will revert back to the habit. Do not start cutting back on those cups initially.

On Getting Done Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peel at Kosmoderma

Kosmoderma Medical Facial experience — The Reception.

Have you ever got a medical facial? I did not even know such a term existed till a month back! There is a world of skin care treatments which I am unaware of. When I was getting microdermabrasion done, I was wondering what all do our celebrities have to undergo to look good. And, if you take my word for it, these treatments are a pain in the a**.

A week back, I got an opportunity to get a consultation and experience a service from Kosmoderma skin clinic. Kosmoderma was founded by Dr. Chytra V. Anand, an internationally renowned cosmetic dermatologist. Till date, my experience with dermatologists has not been very encouraging to say the least so I was not sure what to expect from the consultation. I was thrilled and sceptical at the same time.

Consultation

When I reached the clinic, I was escorted by Anita, an aesthetician, to Dr. Shazia’s chamber. The first thing Dr. Shazia said to me was I had good skin. I know that more or less my skin genes are good (wish my hair was the same) but coming from a dermatologist, it was a huge deal.

Is Forest Essentials Bengal Tuberose the best Body Oil?

What do you do when getting bored in an airport? Check out what to eat? Window shopping? Actual shopping like I do sometimes? Or, simply take a book and read? Or, spend time in a skin care shop which is best pass time for me? On one such a trip back home, I was on the lookout for the best body oil.

And, what I do is enter the Forest Essentials to buy their absolutely amazing Mashobra Honey body oil. I love it. It smells divine and lingers on the skin for whole night and I just can not get over it. But, instead I got the Bengal Tuberose. Lets see how it is?

Forest Essentials Bengal Tuberose Body Oil Product Review (Buy it here)

How do you like the feel of a fragrant oil on your skin which does not make your skin greasy but gets absorbed right away? If your answer is yes, you should definitely try out this oil. To start with, this body oil is very light and fragrant. On an initial touch, the oil does feel oily. The fragrance of the oil is pretty strong yet light. It does not linger on skin for long and does not bother the nose either.
