So as I mentioned in my previous floral romper OOTD, I have quite a few posts left from my December trip. After the floral romper, this was my 2nd most favourite outfit. I am kind of biased towards this dress too I wore at The Venetian.
Coming back to this outfit, it is another perfect beach outfit, well you can replace the white skirt with shorts. I did that later on when we had to travel on a bike. But if you are just relaxing or lazing around on the beach, then this may work.
I absolutely love this combo of pastel blue crop top with pineapple print and white lace skirt. I went with pearl and spiked bracelet accessories wise and my Only flip flops.
How I miss the beach and hammock. Also they had this wood table and a cut tree as chair..so pretty the entire beach looked.
Crop top, Skirt: Romwe
Flip Flops: Only
Bracelets: Mix
I hope you liked the outfit. Do let me know in the comments below.
Godrej Nupur has come up with a new Coconut and henna based crème hair colour. My mom colors her hair very regularly and I have tried 1-2 hair colors on her before too.
Product features: The Goodness Ingredients: Henna and coconut oil have been trusted for centuries. It is an extremely popular hair care solution known for its natural goodness and deep nourishing qualities.
Goodness of Henna
Healthy, Nourished Hair
Nourishment of Coconut Oil
Long Lasting Colour
Convenience with Pre-Measured Sachets: The simple pre-measured sachets are easy to use, no need to measure.
Just cut, fully squeeze the colour & developer sachets, and mix in a plastic or glass bowl. You are ready to go.
MRP: 20gm + 20ml- Rs.39/-
Shades Available:
Dark Brown
Natural Brown
Natural Black
Burgundy
When I got a chance to try this new hair colour on my mom, I was like why not. I like the fact that Godrej Nupur has added natural ingredients to hair colours- ingredients which are really good for your hair, especially coconut oil. The coconut oil is known to be an excellent deep conditioner for hair and helps to make hair healthier and luxuriant, while the henna in the hair colour is known to nourish hair, making it silkier and shinier, and making it look healthy.
It’s been 7 months since I have got married and I miss my mom like crazy, I had expected that I would miss her, but I miss her way too beyond any expectations 🙁 More so, coz I live all alone i.e. just me and hubby.
This time I coloured her hair, trust me you should do it too for your mom. You get to spend that time together and it is like a small connect emotionally.
Since this hair colour has pre- measured sachets, I just had to mix the colour and developer and it was ready.
I went with the colour ‘Natural Brown’ for my mom. As the pack mentions, for longer hair you would need 2-3 packs., we tried covering majority areas of greys for which one pack sufficed.
I used a brush and had worn gloves for easier application and to avoid staining my hands. We did a patch test on her before to see if she is not allergic to anything in the product and as expected, she was not and we went ahead with the colour. Godrej Nupur Coconut Henna Hair Colour is safe and contains natural ingredients and is also an ammonia free hair colour, but every skin is different, so always do a patch test first. The packet also suggests doing a patch test first before application.
You can read more about the hair colour and some FAQ’s HERE
You need to keep the colour for 30 minutes and then wash with normal water.
Here is a Before-After. I tried it from 2 different angles,coz the crown was where my mom has the most greys and it showed a remarkable difference.
I would say I am pretty impressed with the results.The coconut & henna in the colour worked wonders by leaving her hair feeling nourished, covering the greys, giving it a shine and silkiness & a nice natural brown shade with a lovely fragrance. And it is so economically priced at Rs.39/-. My mom loved it too and I guess she is going to stick to this for a long time now 😀 Recommended. It is truly a #ColourThatCares

With convenience being taken for granted in urban cities, be it booking a cab or ordering food; we still strive to make your storage experience simple and hassle-free.
Established in January 2015 by Pratyush Jalan, BoxMySpace was formed with an aim to bring the same convenience of cloud storage to the physical goods of a consumer’s home. The consumer can effortlessly avail on-demand storage service for their household goods at their doorstep either through the web or mobile application across Android and iOS platforms for a monthly fee starting Rs.99/-.

It also provides the consumer with their storage dashboard to create a visual catalog of all their stored items and a unique code to each item/box to enable recall within 12 to 24 hours.
Currently this is only available in Mumbai.
As their tagline goes ‘Unclutter your space, Box By Box’. If you live in Mumbai or have ever lived in Mumbai, you know how expensive the real estate is and how tiny the homes are! People from Delhi and Pune who live/have lived in Mumbai homes feel claustrophobic 😀 You can guess,right.
Space has to be managed very well with extra storage wherever we can find it, coz we are always pressed for space. Especially for someone like me who has loads of stuff, I can never find enough space for my stuff. I seriously need to declutter my home and when I read about BoxMySpace, I was like ‘this is it’, something which is perfect for me.
Especially my beach clothes,winter clothes and shoes which are hardly used on a day to day basis, those are like once or twice a year required things, but do occupy space. I have two huge cartons of shoes lying just like that occupying a lot of space and I am currently not even supposed to wear heels, I am thinking of using BoxMySpace for that.
All of us have extra shoes and books and those ‘Goa’ and ‘Winter’ wardrobe which we use once a year and sometimes not even once a year, but it occupies so much of space in our homes. Piling up stuff over the wardrobe or under the bed if you don’t have storage ducts, etc. at your home. Now no need of layering all those additional stuff,you can free up space and de-clutter your homes by letting BoxMySpace take care of your belongings.
How does it work?
How is it priced?
This is how the box looks..
Isn’t that amazing?! You can get your stuff within 24 hours whenever you need it. They pick up for you, they drop back the stuff, you save a lot of space and your stuff is completely secure, all this at a nominal monthly fee! Totally worth it, I say. I am definitely trying out BoxMySpace. Are you?
Also, they have a contest going on currently on their facebook, we are in luck! Who do you think needs a free box? I certainly do 😀 Go here and participate now http://on.fb.me/1I4BOz1
What do you think of wishes coming true? You know how sometimes, a someone special gifts us exactly what we wanted?! Now that’s a wish genie whispering our wishes in their minds 😀
Flipkart similarly tries fulfilling everyone’s wishes,acts as a wish genie on our behalf,when we want to gift something special to someone.
One of my fellow blogger Manjulika wished for this Philips Air Fryer for her mom as she makes super yummy kachoris and samosas, smart wish I would say, coz it benefits the entire family plus takes care of their health too with less to no usage of oil. Also,one can bake, grill, fry and do so much more with an Air Fryer. I would love to try the Air Fryer too some day.
But when it comes to fulfilling wishes, I would like to be a genie here and fulfill my husband’s wish and get him something very useful which saves him a lot of time. He is always multi-tasking and managing his own freelance work too on weekends,apart from his regular job. He is mostly on the phone interacting and connecting with people. Also, he is looking to get into fitness coz that is something he has been neglecting since a while and has just started putting on weight.
We hardly get to spend time together as he is working on something or the other on weekends too,and we are ‘newly married’! Imagine my life later on. A few weeks ago when we were making some plans for weekend, my husband had to go for a meeting on Saturday related to his freelance work and the entire Saturday was spent in it, plus there are times he has conference calls on Sundays and at odd hours coz few participants are from US. I truly believe he should start delegating stuff and also invest in gadgets which save him a lot of time and manage his time wisely.
The watch displays notifications based on your location, be it weather, flight alerts or traffic so that he will always be on track. A light vibration ensures that he would be notified of incoming or missed calls, text messages and emails.
Say the two magic words ‘Ok Google’ before you begin your sentence to get answers to your questions, send a text, dictate a note or even schedule a meeting. The watch can also discreetly navigate you all the way to your destination when you’re lost. So he can be working on the laptop or driving, and still be scheduling meetings or asking for directions or any questions and let the Moto 360 do the math for him.
The watch is designed with an in-built pedometer and a heart rate monitor that keeps a track of your steps and heart rate. With the heart activity app using the daily and weekly benchmarks, he will be able to effectively track his progress towards his health goals and keep his weight in check.
I think this would save him a lot of time and energy and make his life much easier. His birthday is coming up in August and I know what to get now 😉 Flipkart will help me fulfill his wish. Also, all the time saved can be spent together 😀 Double win!
What do you think of #AbHarWishHogiPoori ? I personally loved the ad, very well made 🙂
It’s been a long time, I shopped anything from Jabong (See previous Jabong Hauls HERE and HERE). I really like few brands on Jabong, and also got a few other things for 50% off during sale.
Now Jabong.com obviously needs no introduction. So let’s get straight to my haul 😀
I had ordered a pink/red Meira dress but only size was available in it (all sizes are available right now and it is still at 60% discount, a steal at 400 bucks if you wish to order 😀 ) and looking at the size chart, I went for it but sadly it did not fit :/ I had to return the dress and initiate a refund and I got another Miss Bennett Grey T-shirt dress (This is also still on discount, at Rs.539/-). I have to say the return and refund process was very easy and quick, no hassles at all. I got the dress within 3-4 dress. I am currently loving it, it is so comfortable that I can practically wear it everywhere 🙂 You will see this soon in one of my casual OOTD posts.
I also ordered a Pretty Secrets navy blue night suit set and Raymond Home hand towels (set of 2). The night suit is for Rs.1299/- which I got for Rs.650/- at 50% off 😀 The Raymond Home towet set was also at 50% off and got it for Rs.325/-. I received all the items within 4-5 days.
Just three things, a small haul but I am very happy with the service and how quick and easy the whole process was. That reminded me I should shop more often from Jabong now. I just wanted to share my good experience with you guys 🙂
Have you shopped anything recently from Jabong? Do let me know in the comments below.
Time for the beauty boxes of this month. Today I am unboxing and reviewing the July My Envy Box, I have also created a video for the same, so do check that out.
Read more about My Envy Box HERE and check out all the previous reviews HERE.
Last month’s box was a bright coral, and this time we have a bright purple! I love this color again, as usual 😀
What I got in the box:
Masker Aide Weather Warrior Hydrating Facial Sheet Mask- Full size (Rs.400/- for 23g)

Catrice Cosmetics Waterproof Eye Pencil in Golden- Full size (Rs.330/-)

June’s My Envy Box was my favourite till date, but I had no idea July would beat it badly! A full sized makeup product and two super- deluxe sized samples, I mean a 40ml eye makeup remover and a 50g face mask jar is like amazing. Plus a face mask worth Rs.400/-, this month’s My Envy Box is the best till date! I would still love it anyway if the August box makes me eat my words 🙂
I hope My Envy Box continues to come up with boxes like those of June & July, pretty impressed 🙂
Buy the box HERE, also you can use the coupon code ‘NEWLOVEMAKEUP‘ during checkout to get extra 15% off, which would bring down the cost of the box to Rs.722/-! I love you too :p
I think the 5th mystery product is what everyone got a different one, I love my H2O+ Eye Makeup Remover, I hope you get it too 😀
Did you like the July My Envy Box? What is the 5th product that you got? Do let me know in the comments below.
I haven’t done an OOTD since a long time, I still have 1-2 outfits from my December trip to be posted, so wanted to share them with you soonest.
This is one of my favourite outfits from the trip. I wore this blue romper at Havelock in Andamans, we went to the Elephant Islands where we tried a lot of different water sports.
I love these round mirror sunnies of mine on my beach vacations especially. I also wore this camel brown woolen kind flat top cap since it was sunny, again another favourite. I love flat top caps since they look much smarter than the usual.
And wore this ‘Cool’ letter necklace in gold and my flip flops.
Romper, Cap, Necklace, Sunnies: Romwe
Flip Flops: Only
I love the fact that this outfit was so comfortable and easy,it felt really good. I love rompers coz they are very loose and free sized, so one can wear it anytime and walk/sit comfortably without worrying. And you can wear it even when you have lost weight or put on weight or feel bloated, this works always and covers your belly too 😉
I hope you liked the outfit. Do let me know in the comments below 🙂 Also, what do you prefer wearing at beach destinations? It is mostly flowy dresses/shorts/rompers/culottes for me.

This battery-operated unit is ready to use and includes four AA batteries.
Exfoliates Quickly and Easily
The skin on your feet is 20 times thicker than on the rest of your body, so it helps to do “something special” for the appearance of your feet. The Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Foot File is specially designed with a Micro alumina roller head to quickly and easily remove tough, lifeless skin by exfoliating the foot through a gentle and safe rotating action.
Safe and Ergonomic
This Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Foot File contains no sharp blades, so it’s safe to use, and it has an ergonomically shaped head for easy handling. The roller surface with micro abrasive particles works gently to remove dead skin and leave you with smooth feet.

Simple Operation
Move the unit in regular passes over the dry, dead skin, applying light to medium pressure. Continue with regular passes until the dead skin is removed and your feet feel silky soft. Stop if the skin becomes sore or inflamed.
Moisturize after Use
Wipe or rinse feet to remove any excess dead skin and thoroughly dry feet. Finish by applying a foot balm or cream, such as Scholl Velvet Smooth Daily Foot Cream Moisturizer.
Individualize Your Treatment
Use in successive sessions until your feet feel soft and are free from hard skin. Treatment length is different for each individual and depends on how much pressure is placed on your feet during daily activities, exercise, and the fit of your shoes.
For Use on Dry Skin Only
Do not soak your feet before using the Scholl Velvet Smooth . This will make it impossible for the hard skin to be effectively removed. The device should be used on dry skin only.

Scholl launched this new Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File last year. I always thought it was a hyped product and what is so great about it and that it would never match a pedicure using various tools at a salon.
When I got a chance to try it, I was like why not, let me find out what the hype is about.
Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi comes with the main unit, attached roller head (Which can be detached/replaced), 4 AA batteries and a plastic cover for the roller head. So you just need to insert the batteries and get working, that’s it.
My feet never had much of an issue, I hardly went for pedicures as there was no dry skin or cracked heels issue for the longest time. They were always very soft and smooth and even when I went for a pedicure once in a blue moon, the attendant would be like, there is hardly any dead skin for me to work on 😀 However, after the accident and surgery, the skin had turned rough. The feet were not kept on the floor for more than 40-50 days, so there was no blood circulation and they were just straight on bed, so no blood flow downwards. The feet had a lot of dead skin and they had gone completely dry with a new layer formed on them altogether. The first thing my physio told me to do is scrub them well as the feet were slippery with that layer of skin. I scrubbed them 2-3 times in one week for the dead skin to completely go away, I wish I had this product back then, it would have helped a lot.
Coming back to today, my skin on the feet is almost back to normal. I thought this Scholl Express Pedi would not work on me as there was nothing much to come off. I tried it on the entire feet, the heels and edges, the mid portion and underneath the big toe which is usually drier. And guess what? I actually saw dead skin buffing out, the white remnants or powder you see is your dead skin coming off. When I touched my heels and toe, they were like so much smoother. I was shocked, I mean in a good way of course.
It actually worked! Basically, the roller head has sand paper kind of finish and the continuous rotation helps it buff the skin but without any pain. I am going to try it on my mom next coz she has very dry feet and cracked heels. I think it’s a blessing for someone with dry feet and who needs regular pedicure, this will save a lot of time and money. The best thing is it can be carried along anywhere, though it is slightly heavy.
My only issue is, I am not sure by when would the roller heads need to be changed, someone mentioned 18-19 pedicures which is decent, but it also depends on person to person and the skin I believe. The roller heads are a little expensive at Rs.799/- when you compare the discounted unit price of Rs.1749/- :p
Overall, I would say, it is definitely a must try! It does not hurt,very convenient to use and carry, a value for money at the discounted price. Highly recommended.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum comes in this long and slender aqua blue bottle with a transparent cap and a pump packaging. The pump is easy to use and dispense the product, no pressing 10 times to get the product unlike in few.
It’s a glass bottle and slightly heavy,hence not very travel friendly. Coming to the texture, it is off white in color, and gel like in texture as most serums. It feels slightly slippery but not much and gets easily absorbed into the skin, without leaving any residue or slippery feeling even though it has silicones (Dimethicone & Dimethiconol)
It is very hydrating and moisturising, my skin feels evenly hydrated and there have been no breakouts or dry patches with this. And the best part is no stickiness or greasiness at all! It is so light that you would not feel you have used any moisturizer and still have your skin completely hydrated.
It does what it claims, hydrated, plump and fresh looking skin all day. I use it once in the morning and I am sorted, I sometimes use it at night too, but currently using a different product at night time.
It does not claim much like even skin tone or anti-ageing, etc, so all it does it provide you hydration. This will work great for all skin types, be it oily or dry, since it does it’s job of hydration well and is very light in texture.
It is a bit on the expensive side, but this lasts really long as you need just one single pump for your entire face and neck. It is available online and also on www.vichy.in
Overall, I would say it is not something which makes tall claims about giving you flawless skin, but it does what it claims. So if you are looking for a good moisturiser for your dry skin or have dry patches on the skin, then this will definitely work for you. Recommended.

What the Company claims: Drawing inspiration from our legendary Elixir Ultime Oil, we have now created a unique concept in hair care – the revolutionary ‘Elixir Ultime Beautifying Cream’.
Infused with the goodness of oil, the ease of a cream and the lightness of a silk veil, it was created for the Kérastase woman of today, who deserves and expects perfection and pampering, in every aspect of her life.
Kérastase ELIXIR ULTIME Beautifying Oil Cream beautifully nourishes and softens hair without weighing it down.
Enriched with the Oleo-Complexe and infused with the delicate floral scent of Millennium Rose, Kérastase ELIXIR ULTIME Beautifying Oil Cream is a versatile beautifying oil which protects hair against external aggressors.
Directions: Apply Kérastase ELIXIR ULTIME Beautifying Oil Cream to damp hair. Leave in.
MRP: Rs.2200/- for 150ml
Ingredients:
I have tried lots of hair serums from different brands, also the Kerastase Resistance Fibre Architecte Serum which I loved but had not tried the Elixir Ultime Oil yet. I had heard lots of good things about it and then I got the chance to try their recent new launch, the Kerastase Elixir Beautifying Oil Cream which co-incidentally came with the Elixir Ultime Classic Oil.
The Kerastase Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil Cream comes in a long golden tube packaging, the only con with the tube packaging is one cannot know how much product is left inside.
It comes seal packed, so you can be rest assured of the product and also there is no spillage before you open and try the product, as happens with a few without the seal, being smeared all around in the cap.
It is a white colored cream, very light and runny in texture, it feels almost water based, even though it is oil based. It has very tiny shimmer particles which will be left all over your hands, after using it on the hair.
I take a tiny pea sized amount and use it from 2 inches above the roots to the tips, as mentioned. I add in extra if I feel I need more, but that is very rare.
I love how light weight it is, that it blends seamlessly and just evaporates from the hair like you haven’t applied anything at all. I use it on still a bit damp but towel-dried hair and let it air dry naturally.
It has controlled about 90% of my frizz even in these monsoons when I face the frizz issue the most. My hair is soft and smooth to touch post drying and the tiny shimmer is what gives the hair a nice shine too.
Only caution I would like to mention is do not use too much or it weighs down the hair and gives it a wet look.
I also use it in one other way, i.e. mixing the Kerastase Beautifying Oil Cream with a little bit of Kerastase Elixir Ultime Classic Oil and then applying the combo, it works like MAGIC! Trust me, my hair feels and looks the best with this combo.
I can just say I am in LOVE with this! I absolutely love this Beautifying Oil Cream and highly recommend it!
Only con I would say is the price, it’s a bit on the higher side and the availability, it is salon-exclusive or you would get it at stand-alone Kerastase stores. But 150ml is still a very good quantity,considering most Kerastase products are 30 to 50ml for around the same price.
