Which is your favorite international airport to buy beauty products? I have found that different airports offer different pricing and not all are cheaper. I got the L’Occitane divine renewal program at 100$ at Dubai duty free though it was priced at 140$ during that time on all websites.

L’Occitane Immortelle 28 Day Divine Renewal Program

Price: Rs 10,300 (~160$)

If you have been following me for long, I am crazy about facial oils and if you talk about something which is going to revamp the skin, I am all up for it. And, when it comes from an exotic flower named immortelle, it is more than difficult to resist the temptation.

I did the divine renewal program at the very same time last year. This post has been long pending. Unfortunately, my experience with the immortelle divine did not become immortal. The product has a lot of drawbacks for the expense it comes with.

Teamonk Global Speciality Teas

Which is your favorite beverage? As for me, I am an all rounder. I like my milk tea, herbal teas, infusion teas, coffee, hot cocoa, juices and wines. But, if asked which one I love the most, nothing better than sharing a cup of tea with my mom. It is more of a ritual than a beverage. There is something so familiar and zen-like with that hot glass in my hands and I take my own sweet time to drink it off.

So, when Teamonk (absolutely love the name) approached me for a review of their teas, I was especially excited to try out their calming teas. I got six different varieties of infusions to try out. Different flavors each day, double yes!! Usually in the absence of my mom, I like to have infusion teas instead of the milk. Also, the best part of having infusion teas is that you do not get addicted to them the way you get addicted to tea or coffee.

How to infuse infusion teas?

I have learned a golden rule while preparing infusion tea long long back – never to boil water. Every infusion needs a different temperature of water to brew perfectly and the ideal is just when the water starts bubbling. The tea is sip-able at the temperature, leaves do not get burnt and leave a bitter after taste and it is hot enough to soothe the senses. Also, brewing time for each tea is different and depends on how strong you want your flavor. So, experiment!

Keep an eye on your Bone Health and Muscle Mass

Though it is projected for women more, the bone density of men also suffers once they hit 30. So, man or woman, it is time to increase your calcium intake and exposure to sunlight. Keep an eye on those vitamin D levels to keep stress and fatigue away, and to ensure proper absorption of calcium.

Just like your bones get old and frail, so do your muscles lose their mass by almost 5% every decade. Health post 30 is not exactly a cake walk so make sure to would include physical activities and variance in your workout routine every 4-6 weeks, so that your muscles do not get used to the same movements and go through a little variation now and then.
