Personal Grooming: Natural Deodorant

Personal Grooming: Natural Deodorant

Natural deodorant has been going for nearly 10 years for me. It started with crystals and then slowly transition to deo paste or sticks with ingredients that includes a mixture of sodium bicarbonate , magnesium , essential oils and corn starch/arrow root powder.

Pain was hell – coping with the…

Deodorant: Going Au Naturel

Deodorant: Going Au Naturel

The journey to zero waste living is quite challenging coming from the city. Too much plastic and paper usage from things you buy from the grocers, pharmacy and the post! Ergo when the buying stops (not totally!) it does help to reduce waste. So here comes the DIY!

I had been using crystal deodorants for almost 6 years and it is a wonderful product until it had been giving mild rash. The rough…

Covid19 Pandemic: What has changed?

Covid19 Pandemic: What has changed?

Life had been pretty crazy dizzy getting used to the new norm. Daily mask wear , washing hands 20 times a day almost , frequent showers and trying to not be paranoid going out is rather tiring but I guess necessary. With some countries going thru the 2nd wave or trying to beat the 2nd wave – it is stressful and depressing. Our comrades from around the world are really doing their mighty best to…

COVID19 Pandemic: How are we doing?

COVID19 Pandemic: How are we doing?

This is the most discussed topic on a weekly basis be it with our family , neighbours , strangers in the public or at work. It seems almost desperate that we just want the MCO ( movement control order) to end. For now I am currently glad that my job is still intact as a healthcare worker.

LIPSTICKS: What is a HEALTHY amount?

LIPSTICKS: What is a HEALTHY amount?

For a girl who loves lipsticks – this is HARDCORE topic and I don’t mean to sound inflammatory. But I do think it is important to ponder.

Pretty sure that any girl around the world would at least have a lipstick or lip product or two in their purse , bags , dressing table , car , study desk. So that amounts to about 10 lip stuff that a girl can own in a year or per life. I think its crazy and…
