Forever 21 Haul - Winter Edition

Nov 30, 2014


Forever 21 is my favorite place to shop. After they started online, I always browse their website at least once a week. There is always something new to try there. Recently, I found few things that I really liked and hence purchased few things. 

Last time, it was all accessories from Forever 21. This time, I ordered clothing. 



Forever 21 Textured Faux Leather Jacket (Beige) Rs.2,769 (Buy)

Just look at it. Look at it again. Try saying that you do not like it! I challenge you!! *wink*

LUSH from New Zealand

Nov 29, 2014


Thanks to Instagam, I discovered a lot of great blogs and many great people. One such sweet soul in Nishu. She lives in New Zealand and right when she planned to come to India she asked if I needed anything. ANYTHING. She gave a list of websites and every details needed. I had about 20 things in my list but then settled for the two things that I absolutely needed - Lush Aqua Marina and Dark Angels. I also wanted the Lush Christmas specials but thought not to bother the sweet girl anymore. So, she went to the LUSH store just for me to get what I needed! Told you - she is super sweet.

Kama Ayurveda Almond & Coconut Lip Balm ( with Organic Bees Wax ) Review

Nov 25, 2014

Kama Ayurveda Almond & Coconut Lip Balm with Organic Bees Wax

Come winter and the dry wind makes sure that we have chapped lips. Unluckily, whatever may be the season, I face chapped lips all year round if I do not take care. Add to that my love for matte lipsticks, I need carry a lip balm with me all the time.

I swear by the Burt’s Bees but I finally decide to trust something new – Kama Ayurveda Almond and Coconut Lip Balm.

Kama Ayurveda markets 4 variants of lip balms with all of them having the same formula added with different flavors like mint, rose, almond and vanilla. Only this one has additionally organic coconut oil which made me choose this....and also the smell.....the super yumm smell.

Nov 18, 2014

FabIndia CHARCOAL Face Scrub Review

I was heartbroken when Lush closed their stores in India. My first concern was how I will now manage without Aqua Marina and Dark Angels.

Luckily, after I started using toners, my skin is not that oily, and I can do without Lush Aqua Marina. But, I still need a good scrubs.

After a lot of research, I purchased FabIndia Charcoal Face Scrub. After three months of using this, I certify that this is a must have product. Read more for details.

Winter is Coming // Natural Skincare Haul

Nov 17, 2014

Natural Skincare Haul Shopping India

For a long time now, I am SLS free for hair (talking like a recovering addict here!). 

Now, I want to go petrochemicals/mineral oil/silicone free. It is an extremely difficult goal, but I will try to achieve as much as I can. 

To begin with, I have decided to replace most body creams and lotions with oils (as much as I can and also when I am not traveling). After I had discovered how great oils work for skin (read more), I wanted to include more oils for the body. I was using Palmer's oil, but I needed richer and better oils. So, I was desperately waiting for winters to come so that I could buy all things that I wanted. I am glad that finally...winter is coming.

Read on to see what natural/organic skincare that I am adding to my regime. I shopped all these in 2 days and picked some online.

4 Scarves By Lavin Accessories You Cannot Miss

Nov 2, 2014



If you have ever meet me or peek inside my satchel (because I do not use handbags in general), the one piece of clothing that you will most definitely find will be a scarf (because I do not use handkerchiefs either. 'Wetwipes' is the word for me). 

I got the habit of using them as head wraps (and what not) while staying in Gurgaon. (I need to save my hair and skin from dust, pollution and Sun!) Old habits die hard. Pheeww. 

Anyways, adding more scarfs to my collections from Lavin Accessories. These are light weight, easy to wash and good for every day use. 

Shhhh..one of them is my new favorite infinity scarf. Read on..
