Twice As Nice

Hi everyone,

It is indeed amazing to have a company with you. It makes thing work better and much wiser. It not only reduces the work but also there is an exchange of thoughts, creativity and lots more. This time I had a chance to collaborate with my blogger friend for this lovely activity by Garnier called the #TwiceAsNice.

This activity started off by sending us samples of the two products which when used together would make our skin twice as nice. The idea was of writing up an article in collaboration with a friend for the very same reason – it would be twice as nice in this case.

The power of two is really great. It actually is a lot of fun to do things in a team than doing them alone. There is exchange of ideas which will help both the people to prosper equally. The power of two is such that it makes anything twice as nice.

Now have a look at the Garnier products that we received as a part of this activity. Garnier pure active apricot scrub and Garnier pure active neem face wash were the two products that formed the #TwiceAsNice range.

The face wash did the work of cleansing while the scrub helped moisturise and smoothen the skin for both of us. The scrub helped our skin become smoother and there was noticeable difference, we both really could make out. The face wash on the other hand had neem and tea tree oil extracts which helped to purify the skin and also helped to cleanse it and thus remove impurities and excess oil.

We both loved the Twice as nice combo. Recommend you all to try it J

Redefine your smartphone experience

Smartphone are these days used by everyone. Even the local sellers these days are using phones. Gone are the days when phones were only for the rich, today they can be afforded my one and all. Phones these days are not just a want or some object that you can show-off about but they are now an important mode of communication.

While the basic functions of calling and messaging are provided by all phones. The ones providing features like camera, music, etc. are called smartphones. There are a plenty of smart phones to choose from. Right from Apple to Nokia. All sorts and kinds of phones are available. These phones are available with distinct features and have huge price difference too.

Let’s get talking about the different features that a smartphone should have:

1.       Good camera

2.       Good memory

3.       Good battery life

4.       Great speed

5.       Good sound

6.       Should look good

7.       Should be reasonably priced

These would be the basic requirements of a common man while buying any smartphone. But the problem comes here there are phones that have a few of these features and not all. So what does a common man do?

A common man buys ASUS Zenfone 2. This phone according to me is the smartest of all the smartphones. This phone in particular is the world’s, mind it the WORLD’s only phone with 4 GB RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM for those who don’t know about phones is needed for good speed. With 4 GB Ram your phone would probably be running. No chance of hanging at all. It is the speed at which the data is transferred from one part to the other, 4 GB is great sorry greatest speed ever.

Next what is so good about this phone that I am all praise for it is that it’s amazing pixel camera. This smartphone, ASUS Zenfone 2’s PixelMaster camera captures stunning, high-resolution pictures with zero shutter-lag. Simply put, amazing camera experience.

Not just the pixel is so good but also one can absolutely do without a flash with this smartphone. It clicks 400% brighter pictures at night and thus one can do away with a flash.

So great speed, amazing camera what else would you ask for?

Charging phones is quite a task. Every time you keep your phone for charging and you get a message and then you just forget about charging. Well ASUS Zenfone 2 takes care of this too. It supports ASUS- exclusive technology that charges devices faster than usual. It charges 605 in 39 minutes which is brilliant.

It looks amazingly stylish and is available in such good colours. Sleek, smart and amazingly stylish.

I have enough and more reasons to call this smartphone the best ever and it would truly redefine the experience of smartphone. 

REFRESHING BREAKFAST

One must always ensure that a healthy diet helps one live a
healthy life and a healthy living. And hence a healthy meal is what is most
important for a healthy living. When it comes to food, one must never
compromise, a good food gives one the required nutrients and supplements that
are required by the body. Now, when it comes to starting your day with food, it
the morning Nashta or breakfast which is the first meal of the day. I am sure
you must have all heard about the famous saying which goes like, eat your
breakfast like a rich man and then your lunch like a middle class man and the
last meal which is your dinner must be like that of a beggar. Well there is a
valid and important reason why people say this. The reason is because that is
how our body is programmed and functions in that style. There is no harm is
eating food, but there is a limit and proportion in which our body needs food. One
cannot over do with food, any such thing affects the body badly and disrupts
our schedule, and so we must never compromise on good food.

When it comes to my breakfast I prefer starting my day with
some refreshing food, like fruits and some healthy dry fruits is what I would
prefer my day to start with. I am a milk lover and so all milk products are
always welcome for me, so my ideal breakfast must have a mix of all for sure,
it helps me with the required strength and stamina to keep me on my toes all
day, and lively given my profession. And so I am really looking forward to
enjoy my morning breakfast at Guptaji’s place, which is going to have a proper
mix of all the above that I need to kick start my day.

I am going to Guptaji’s place to have some mouth-watering
strawberry and banana cornflakes, the meal will have a proper proportionate of
fruits along with my favourite milk and of course cornflakes to complete the
nutrients to my breakfast. The main reason why I am so eager and excited to go
to Guptaji’s place is because the breakfast is not too heavy nor is it too
light that will keep me hungry again. At the same time it helps me finish my
breakfast soon, as I don’t need to separately eat fruits, and then milk. It is
a quick meal with all nutrients, required for my body. I am going to relish
this one for sure, with some yum flavour of strawberry and banana. A perfect
start this one is for my day!

SHOPPING

Happiness is for me shopping, when it comes to that one thing that can make me happy or instantly make me forget all my worries, it is shopping. Well to precisely say the retail therapy never fails, and especially with the female gender, it can never go wrong. So to describe my happiness all I can say is, that shopping it is that brings that smile on my face. Be in times when I want to celebrate or the times when I just need a time out, or a day off, all I think of is shopping. I enjoy shopping to an extent that sometimes I even wonder that the movie, Shopaholic was based upon my life. :-p

Well, jokes apart my mantra of happiness is shopping. Even if it involves shopping for the silliest and pettiest thing, I enjoy it to the core. I love the entire process of going to different shops, giving my eyes the pleasure of witnessing beautiful creations and what best can be the way to appreciate this beauty than just purchasing them. One must learn to appreciate good work, is what I as taught back in school and I truly abide by it, by going on a shopping spree.

So, to tell you more about my shopping love, I am that person who can shop till they drop. Shopping is my ultimate love and rather my first love. From college days to my current working days, shopping has always been by my side. Off late online shopping is the one, which has caught my attention and has got me so attracted to its  charm, that every time I open my phone, I don’t forget to check out the latest deals on the app, and to add an icing to the cake, I almost every time indulge in shopping it. The very concept of online shopping attracts me all the more, because there is a lot of excitement which is attached to the concept. One has to patiently wait for the product to arrive and then when the product arrives it is more a like a surprise gift that has arrived, although you know what the product is, yet there is that spark of excitement attached to it. As the product arrives, there is that excitement and anxiety to see what has come and how the product looks like. And hence I say online shopping has added that new zeal and enthusiasm to my happiness. It gives me that extra dose of happiness at the click of a button, without even going to the malls or shopping centres, one can bring happiness instantly.

Well so here goes my mantra of happiness and this my way of bringing happiness to my life and also happiness to the life of my dear and near ones. (I do consider buying stuff for my dear ones as well, rarely though :-p

Garnier Fructis Challenge

It reminds me about my friend’s wedding party, I was all decked up, ready for the bash.

Dress check

Footwear check

Bag Gucci Check

But but my hair? I wanted to hide my ugly hair. My frizzy hair. My dull hair. My dry hair.

I hated how my hair ruined my entire look and I hated how my hair looked nothing less than an organic broom.

But then I took the Garnier #HappyHairChallenge and things changed. In a month’s span my hair became manageable and smooth from frizzy and dry. I too was surprised to see the difference in my hair in less than two weeks and at the end of a month, my hair completely changed. Today my hair is a lot smoother than what it was a month ago. It’s a lot more manageable. It’s no more frizzy and no more dry.

My split-ends have reduced considerably or rather I can say that they have all almost vanished. My hair fall has almost disappeared. It feels nothing less than a magic, really.

The use of Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo and Conditioner has worked wonders for my hair. It has completely redefined my hair. It has made my hair happy. I am so happy that I took the #HappyHairChallenge and even happier with its results. Thanks Garnier for making my hair look so much better and happier.

TOGETHER

Optimism is the key to good and happy life. Optimism is the essence of a good life. It takes absolutely nothing away if you try to find good in the bad and happiness in sorrow, it would make things a lot easier, trust me. Well it’s obviously not as easy it may seem but with a family like mine it is all seems like a bed of roses. This is about how I am gifted and blessed by god.

It is a saying that your parents are your creator, your god. Not only is my existence because of them but they are also the reason of living to me. They in the true sense are the reason why I am alive, the reason why I am so optimistic and they are my real motivation and my true inspiration.

I was born and breaded in beautiful Spain that was the home to me. I could not have thought of moving out from this place. I absolutely love being there, the NRI tag that I got just added up to all the pleasures and joys of staying there. Like how it is in a Cinderella story, I had all the comforts. I was surrounded by all the best things of the world.

It was till this one fine day when my father decided that he wanted to shift back to our native place, India. This decision he took because he had his old parents to take care of and also a whole business that needed my Dad to be there. I did understand the reason but still at the moment in time, I was hypnotised or rather frozen. I thought that was the end of my so called “good life”. I had grown up with my friends there, I was born and brought up as per the culture there. Not that I didn’t understand why my father had to take this decision but I was very scared.  I was completely shattered. I didn’t know how to react then but all I knew was that it was certain. The decision of moving from this beautiful country was final, my Dad had already taken the call.

 Then we finally moved to India. I was apprehensive but my parents were my strength they told me that as long as we are #together we may not have all but together we have it all. My family are my parents they are my pillar, my strength. They are the ones whom I can fall back on, on whom I can completely rely and to whom I can entrust my all.

They in the true sense are the purpose and inspiration to my living.

Today I am happy that the shift bought so much more to us. We are always together in our good and bad because home is where the heart is.

Meet The New Housing

Head on to https://housing.com/in.

Life is about moving on. Life is about finding ways to live. Life is about changing and adapting changes. Life is to constantly grow and to change for the better. Every day is a new beginning. Every minute there is a new learning. What is important is to learn from life. To learn that life is not constant. Life moves on. Time and tide wait for no man. If life has given you failure watch out there will be success following it.

I happened to visit this my Grandmother’s place just recently and what she told me truly motivated me. She said that God is always going to be there for us, no matter what. So of in times of your joy you see four feet- two will be yours and the others will be God’s but in times of your sorrow you might just see two feet. I was puzzled, I wondered why? I wondered why would God leave us alone in time sorrow and be with us in your happiness. To this she replied that those two feet won’t be ours but God’s. God will carry us in his arms during the time of sorrow because it’s the almighty who would stay with us through our thick and thin.

What I learnt was that life is about moving on and with what my Grandmother had to teach me I learnt that no matter what, irrespective of whether others will be there for us not. God will always be our strength. With this thought in my mind, I decided to embark a new beginning or rather #StartANewLife.

I had recently had a break up. I was in a relationship for more than 5 years and this break up wasn’t mutual. I stilled him but he had moved on. I cried every day. I had sleepless nights. I had given up on life. I wondered what could have gone wrong. What could it be that forced him to break a 5 year old relationship? I cursed myself for this. I not only gave up on my friends and secluded myself from the group but also I started to remain locked in my room so that I didn’t have to face my family who would have millions of questions to ask.

But I realized that nobody in our life is going to stay forever. People come and people go and life is just a show. Nothing lasts forever so a five year old relationship ended because maybe somewhere God would have something better planned for me. I have moved on in life. I have moved on from that phase of life where all that mattered was him. I have realized that I am stronger than my sorrows and grief. I have learnt the way of life. I have learnt that life is about moving on and starting a new every time there is a downfall.
