#DidYouKnow facial shaving is the new craze!

Have you ever tried shaving? It is one of the most convenient and inexpensive ways to get rid of hair. It is also useful when you have an emergency and lack time for a salon trip.

Lately, shaving has gained prominence in the alternatives of hair removal though there are quite a lot misconceptions surrounding the procedure. It is said that shaving results in coarse and thicker hair growth which is why girls usually avoid it.

If these misconceptions interest you, let me share with you some of the shaving tips which will help you get started.

Shaving Tips – Which Razor to Use?

Male razor or a female one? Earlier, there were no razors available specifically for women. Now, you have variety of them in various colours as well. You can choose the disposable ones or you can go for the refillable blades like you might have seen your dad do. Most of these razors come with moisturising strips which claim to soften the skin after shaving. I have never seen any difference but then I have never used one without a strip either.

You cocooned in a comforter, a blanket of snow covering everything outside, flakes still dancing in the wind, hot cocoa in your favourite mug on your bedside table and a book in your hand. Ever fantasized something like this?

I always do! I would love to read a Georgette Heyer at such a time. Her books are light reads and funny as hell and witty and sarcastic and biting. Here are my 5 favourites from Gerogetter Heyer books. Some of them are tied up!

You would fall in love with Phoebe and Tom. Their escapades at the Blue Boar are hilarious.

Frederica (Read it here)

It is not as much about Marquis of Alverstoke as much it is about the family of Merrivilles, especially Frederica, Jessamy and Felix. Felix is adorable as hell and you would love to have brother like him!

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser Product Review

Swathy · March 2, 2016 · 8 Comments

#DidYouKnow one of the principles of Feng Shui for a therapeutic bathroom is to indulge in amazing aromatherapy. You should definitely splurge on personal care products which you would love to use.

Your day care products must be rich in invigorating and revitalizing scents where as your night time products should be soothing and de-stressing.

Following this very example, I got this face wash from Kama which I was almost sure I would love. I had used the same range of body oil which I would heartily recommend you to try if you love roses.

Skin Type

Since it has an oily base, I think it would be more suitable for normal to dry to sensitive and mature skin. I am not sure how it would be with oily skin. You might want to test it before you get it.

Price Tag and Worth

Price : Rs 540 for 100ml

The price tag is definitely on the higher side but it lasts long enough to justify the expense.

Fragrance

The face wash has the same fragrance as the body oil – rich in roses and not jasmine, very soothing and faintly lingering but not overpowering.
