Ginger infused Vinegar for Hair Growth, Dandruff and Clarifying Hair DIY

It has been soooooo long since I have done ANY DIY. This particular recipe was supposed to be published some time in last August but then I totally forgot about it. Now, if you would remember the elaborate hair ritual of Kamini aunty which I had followed. One of her products were ginger tonic supposed to promote hair growth and removing dandruff.

I do not claim to know the exact recipe or anything. This was crafted by me and mum after trying to make out what the ginger tonic consisted of. We could only guess at the ingredients. So, proceeding ahead with the DIY, let me first state the ingredients and then explain why it is necessary.

H20 plus Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment Product Review

H20 plus Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment Product Review

H20 plus Face Oasis reminds me of the crystal clear waters of the Kilim Geoforest Park in Langkawi. The marine smell and the appealing aquamarine blue of the product with its watery texture serves up to its claims. I had spotted this product for the first time on My Women Stuff and was obsessed with getting it.

H20 plus is easily available in India and you can get it at any counter in Shopper’s Stop so let that not deter you if you are satisfied with the review. Why did I get this?

For a very long time, I have been looking around for a light and hydrating moisturiser. Ever since I have come to recognize that most of the dry skin is because of dehydration, I have become even more particular about my products.

Now, that I am touching 30 in a few days, I have felt the difference in my skin as well. Whether it is due to the dryness of winters or hormonal changes inside my body, I want to do everything right for my skin. And, hydration is on top of my list followed by moisturization.

Why is an RO water purifier not good enough?

And, why I suggest you to get PureIt Ultima RO + UV with Oxytube Water Purifier instead?

pregnant lady and drinking safe water

When we had shifted to a new house last year, one of the major concerns was clean drinking water. We were counting the cash because we had already spent so much on the expensive furniture and our health took a backseat!

We actually calculated if a water purifier was really worth the money. I know it sounds crazy, especially when one is comparing good health and expense. We should have probably compared the hospital bills. When we were considering out water purifier options, I had never thought ro water purifiers in India worth the money. There is almost a 10:1 ratio of water wastage and none of the houses have water recycling mechanisms.

Just for the record, we are still subsisting on the dubious mineral water bottles delivered once or twice a week by the shopkeeper next to my house. Do not make the same mistake! There are so many water-borne diseases alone like cholera, typhoid, diarrhoea, Hepatitis B and E, the list goes on.

But, now we are planning to begin a family. And, guess what I found out? Drinking purified water is extremely important for a pregnant lady, not only for herself but also for the baby.
