The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil, The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Shower Creme

I love using a bath oil though these days I am more interested in body lotions and butters since winter needs extra care. Also, I have noticed that oil gets a little greasy on the skin and leaves a dirty layer behind which I do not like. So, I shifted to body butter. I am also planning an interesting DIY. Lets see if it comes through.

Did You Know?
A very good idea to moisturize your skin. Apply oil immediately after the shower and rub the towel lightly. And, follow with a body lotion or body butter to seal in the moisture and oil both. Takes about 5-10 minutes extra in your routine.
Bath Oil Tip No. 1 – Aromatic Baths
I love to tip the bath oils into my bath water. I do not have a tub at home and honestly think it to be a huge waste of water and a pain to clean but you can add 5-10 table spoons of oil and enjoy the soak. On the other hand, if you use bucket, add 2 table spoons of oil and enjoy the bath.

5 daily tasks which Stress you without your realizing them {Five Series}

Republished on 12th September, 2016

Like all working couples, we often get very minimal quality time with each other so we took a weekend off from everything including our house and spent the time in a cozy resort. But, still, it was not the least refreshing for us. That made me think what is wrong with me?

And, then, there was a dawning realization, may be the short vacation we took was really not well-planned which stressed me out! Yes, it was an adhoc event which just happened and I was really happy it happened but I would have been more happy if everything went according to me.

Yes, I know its making me sound like a control freak and probably I am one but this is just an example of what can be wrong with even a simple thing of taking a holiday from our regular life. So, stress can really creep up on to our lives in ways we can NOT imagine. It has really become a part of us now a days.

Technology

This makes me soooo happy to say this out loud, “Guys, lose your phone sometimes,let the laptop crash, get sometime for yourself”. And, of course, sad at the same instant because I can not do that whenever I want. No, not because I have a blog to run but because I can not stay away from the blog.

Blogging Series Vol. 10 – How to overcome Bloggers Block? {Five Series}

· · Leave a Comment

So as I said yesterday that I am lost as to how to come back to blogging, I thought this would be a damn good topic to start with! I have been thinking about it for the last week and I have put down a few things from where one can start!

Reading and Observing and Drawing Analogies!
This is one of the primary sources of inspiration for all my posts especially the ones in the category of Your Opinion! I love to observe and like to blog about any small thing which catches my eye or which my ears catch 😀
Anyways, reading about your niche helps. Other blogs or reader’s comments, anything can give you fodder for your next post!

Readers

For me, they are definitely one of the major post sources because of the amazing amount of queries I get but unfortunately in my case, I am not able to reply to all the mails lying in my mail box and when I am replying to the comments, very seldom does it occur to me to make it a post. But, if you have time and patience at hand, writing posts on unique queries is always helpful in the larger picture.
Re-blogging
As I mentioned in my last post of the series, republishing your older posts is a good practice. It gives more visibility to the post and more often than not, your reader’s get something new to read. Also, this gives you chance to update the post and improve on it.
Passion
This is the easiest to do. If you are die-hard passionate about something, you can definitely blog about it anytime. I would also add that there may be some restrictions to this but still this comes easily to the tips of fingers to type away!
Gossip
Your blog is also a form of entertainment so always remember that juicy gossip is always welcome. A blogger is always an enigma to the reader, especially when the person hardly reveals anything about their personal life so giving them a peek into it every now and then really works 🙂 And, when are girls not good at gossiping 😀
So, these are a few pointers to overcome Blogger’s Block. I do not know how much they will end up helping me but I can surely say that I finished writing this post in 20 minutes. So, may be the tips actually do work. So, give them a try and let me know 🙂
What do you all bloggers think? And, I would also welcome the reader’s to add their tips 🙂
