Its 11:40 and I am so tired and my body is literally wanting to sleep!!! I am in Delhi, came yesterday and it already feels like its been so many days and time just flies and its so f***ing HOT!!! Coolers are useless, AC simply not too cold!!! Anyways, today, we went to Citywalk and I did a pretty huge haul there 😀 I shall share it soon but probably after I go to Hyd!!! Oh btw, I got a Swarovski bracelet for my mom (its her birthday on Tuesday). And, for myself, a little of Forest Essentials (got a gift card against the Credit Card points), Lush and the regular Neutrogena sunscreens. And, next week will have some product reviews as well as I am falling back on them!!
And, yes, for those all who have mailed their queries to me, I am so sorry that I have not reverted back since pretty long. I am just too tied up and not in a good mood but I shall start answering them from tomorrow or Monday. So, please give me sometime and yes, I shall get back to you ASAP. And, rest of you, please keep dropping your mails 😀

Do you wash your face first thing in the morning? {Your Opinion}

· · 39 Comments

When do you wash your face? In the shower or when you brush your teeth? I generally wash my face in the shower, howsoever late that may be. Its very rare that I wash my face first thing in the morning. But, it is supposed to be a good routine to wash your face first thing in the morning to remove all the oil accumulated at night as well as to remove the dead cells which have been accumulated when the skin repairs itself. Also, scrubbing in the morning is said to be extremely beneficial to remove the dead skin cells and reveal glowing skin. So, when do you wash your face?

Facials from the fridge {Reader’s Tips}

· · 7 Comments

It always seems difficult to find time to make all these recipes to maintain yourself regularly. I found a shortcut to maintain my face – I usually create a base by grinding 1/2 cup oats and 1/2 cup milk powder and store it. Then depending on what I have in the fridge – I mix it in this powder base.

To tighten – mix egg whites and honey into 1 tsp powder base and apply on face, wash off after dry.

To moisturize – add avocado and almond oil into 1tsp powder base and apply – wash off after dry.

To absorb oil – mix egg whites and lemon juice into 1tsp powder base – apply, wash off after dry.

To tone and cleanse – mix yogurt and cucumber juice ( when you grate and press, juice can be extracted, no need to grind) in 1 tsp powder base and apply , rinse after dry.

If the paste is too tight I mix rose water or water to it. And the list goes on – anything you find like fresh fruits – I usually go to the ones that need no grinding or preparation. This really works – try it! As we don’t find a lot of time as working moms with kids…anything easy works!!

Its an awesome tip, Padmaja. Thanks so much 🙂
