PleasingCare Sonic Rechargeable Skin Care Facial Cleansing Brush

Cleansing and exfoliating skin effectively is an integral part my daily skin ritual which I have been following religiously, ever since I stepped into my 30’s. After all, the real struggle of keeping the sign of aging at bay, and making the skin beautiful and radiant, starts soon after you hit the mark on 25-30. If you fall into this group, you would understand better what I am talking about! So, to pamper my skin, I have been putting my hard earned money into buy the best cleansers, exfoliators, and scrubs,  but sadly, even with all the money and efforts I have been putting, my skin tends to break out every now and then.  I have had a hard time figuring where was I lacking or what was I doing wrong! Last week, at my friends party, I met her aunt who also happens to be a beautician. While we were getting to know each other, she noticed the redness all over my face and asked me about it. When I told her about my skin condition, …

Orblue Herb Scissors, Food Cutter Shears with Five 3-Inch Blades

I love everything about cooking and baking, except for 2 things: One, Cutting the produce, especially herbs as they require lot of patience, which I lack, and time, which is too precious to spend like this. Second, doing the dishes afterwards. Well, the dishes part is well taken care of the dishwasher or my hubby…lol, leaving me with the cutting/chopping part. My food processor does help me with cutting/chopping, but the prob is the herbs, which even my food processor hates cutting…lol.

#Puzzingo Kids Puzzles App Review and Giveaway

My daughter is very fond of puzzles, and this fondness started when she was nearly 6 months! She started with simple stacking puzzles, and then progressed to Melissa Dogh knobbed puzzles relating to shapes, animals, etc. And, now that she is 3, she has switched to more complex silhouettes puzzles of real world objects that see can relate to, as well as floor puzzles where she needs to use the critical thinking skill to solve the entire puzzle. More than everything, she loves the puzzle apps that we download from Apple Store, every now and then. I find these app to be more economical way to let her learn and master the basic skills, rather than spending hundred of dollars in buying wooden puzzles which she solves and looses interest soon.

Chew-Choos ‘Cutie Pie’ Silicone Teething Necklace #cutiepie

Teething is very difficult and uncomfortable time for babies! I remember, when my daughter was teething, she was so fussy and irritated all the time. She would not eat or drink, and would always try to put everything she would come across in the mouth to soothe her gums. To help her get through this difficult time, we gave her chewing toys, which she liked chewing upon and it did work to soothe her tender gums. But, the problem was that she would drop it hear and there ,and then would simply pick it up from unsanitary floors putting it back into her mouth. This caused upset tummy most of the time. I tried my best to take care not to allow her put anything dirty in her mouth, but you can’t expect to keep them under watch 24×7!  I wish at that point of time, I had heard about the Chew-Choos ‘Cutie Pie’ Silicone Teething Necklace, which I recently got a chance to review. The first time I took Chew-Choos ‘Cutie Pie’ Silicone Teething Necklace in …

Midori Spring Ceremonial (Emerald) Matcha #midorispring

I love drinking green tea because of the numerous health benefits it holds! I still remember how weird my first cup of green tea tasted, but with time I developed a liking to it and now its my favourite drink. But MATCHA TEA is something I had never heard of before, until few months back when my friend introduced it to me. Matcha actually is a finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea. Matcha has higher concentration of Catechins, which is a potent ANTIOXIDANT, in comparison to regular green tea. You must be wondering as to why I am laying so much emphasis on ANTIOXIDANTS! Antioxidants are our body’s defense agents. They are chemical compounds that prevent aging and chronic diseases. Put simply, the more antioxidants our body has, the better equipped our body is in the fight against infections and disease. One cup of matcha = 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea in terms of nutritional content So, Matcha is loaded with nutrients which offer numerous health benefits to our body. …

Med O’Clock – The Pill Reminder App #MedOClock

Last year, during my pregnancy I was on very strict medication schedule  owing to some complications. Being sick and no one to look after me (Hubby was pretty much in office most of the time) it was very challenging to take medications on time and keep track of my BP as well as Blood Sugar. I wish I had some kind of app that could remind me about taking the medication at specific intervals so that I could have relaxed instead of panicking all the time about it. Recently, M2C2 Communications launched Med OClock pill reminder App that is meant to help people to manage their medications as well as of their loved ones.
