Tried Out Beminimalist Products For The First Time And Liked A Few

If I had to give an introduction…When I first saw the ad of minimalist products pop up on my phone screen in 2020, I just went, ‘hey! they just blatantly copied one of my favourite brand.’ And the brand in question is a cult favourite - The Ordinary.The Ordinary is a cult favorite and liked by celebrities and skin care enthusiasts alike for all the right reasons and it’s a shame that the brand is not readily available in India! And if you ever want to order it from their official website, you need to pay heavy customs duty, that makes a hole in your pocket.And that is how this relatively new skincare brand BeMinimalist used the goodwill and popularity of The Ordinary and gained attention. The brand provides quite the similar range of products and even the packaging has an uncanny similarity. But they also provide a promise of quality and transparency. And also the claims about their products seems impressive.I have been using The Ordinary products and then with a sudden unavailability of the same I thought of giving The Beminimalist products a try. I saw beauty influencers go hullabaloo over it and I thought giving it a try might be a good discovery and it wasn't really giving me a pocket pinch. So I picked up a few of their popular products and here are the ones I liked!-------------------------------------------------------------SALICYLIC ACIDBefore I jump into the review, let me put some light on what is salicylic acid and how it benefits the skin -Salicylic Acid is mainly a chemical exfoliator known as BHA, an age old remedy that works by dissolving dead skin cells and sebum from the inner walls of the pores, revealing fresh skin underneath.2% of the concentrate is just the right amount for starters and in my opinion for long term use. Because these active ingredients act well on skin, there's always a chance that you might overdo it and that might cause some damage. So its always a good idea to keep the active ingredients mild.Salicylic Acid 2% Claims : - Our salicylic acid easily penetrates the pore lining and scoops out the dirt, debris, and sebum (clinically proven to work better than oil-based traditional salicylic acid), so skin looks clear and baby-soft- Lightweight, fast-absorbing formula made with aloe vera juice instead of water present in other serums to soothe the irritation generally associated with exfoliation- Formulated with RonaCare Salicylic Acid Extra Pure from Merck, Germany, a global natural chemistry companyThe highlight of the product is - It is Fragrance free, Paraben free, Oil free and has a pH level from 3.5-4.0.Price - INR 545/- for 30ml. Availability : (click on your preferred site)- AmazonMy Views : I started using it when I found a few painful cystic acne on the face and it worked pretty well in drying it up without leaving a scar. I had used the serum for a month on a clean face and neck after toner and waited for 5 minutes before applying moisturizer and sunblock.I do not have blackheads but the product would work really well on blackheads too as it works really well as a mild exfoliator. But its important that we don't overdo acids. I stopped using it after my pimples subsided and have restricted to using it twice a week. I have sensitive skin and so I restricted the amount to three drops only and trust me it suffices for face and neck both. I would rate it a - 3.5/5------------------------------------------NIACINAMIDENiacinamide suddenly gained hype and for all the right reasons. It is a form of Vitamin B-3, an essential nutrient. The deficiency of niacinamide could lead to disorder of skin, kidney and brain. Because we are talking about using niacinamide tropically for skin concerns here...niacinamide helps build keratin, which is a type of protein that helps to keep skin firm and healthy. It creates a lipid barrier which helps to retain moisture in the skin and also reduces inflammation. Niacinamide by helping retain moisture in the skin further helps in minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.Niacinamide 10% + ZincClaims :- Promote protein synthesis.- Reduce melanin concentration.- Improve skin complexion.- Balance sebum production.- Reduce inflammation.The highlight of the product is - It is Fragrance-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, oil-free and has a pH level from 5.5 - 6.5Price - 599/-INRAvailability: (click on your preferred site)- AmazonMy views :I had used Niacinamide by The Ordinary before and I kind of had high hopes from the same from The Minimalist but it failed to deliver up to my expectations. But again it is not totally a bad buy. The niacinamide by Minimalist had worked great for my friend and the results were visible! So I wouldn't really write this product off.Now that it seems to be getting difficult getting hands on The Ordinary products, I might give it a try again... But previously I did not notice any visible change on my skin. I would rate it a - 3/5----------------------------------------------------VITAMIN CVitamin C, a potent antioxidant which helps in preventing free radical damage is a must in your skincare routine. There are various benefits of using Vitamin C in your daily skin routine and to mention a few -- helps remove early signs of aging and wrinkles- boosts collagen - helps reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots- helps reduce damage from too much sun exposure- will leave your skin with a healthy glow- helps treat melasmaVitamin C 10% + AG 1%Claims :- 'Made with stabilized Vitamin C derivative “Ethyl Ascorbic Acid” that has 86% pure Vitamin C content. That is much higher than 40-50% content present in other Vitamin C derivatives. At a pH ~ 4.0 it is highly stable and effectiveMade in Centella water to soothe & hydrate skin. Also contains 1% Acetyl Glucosamine (AG), an amino-monosaccharide (simple sugar) and a precursor of hyaluronic acid, that provides skin moisturization, boosts natural Hyaluronic Acid synthesis, and regulates natural exfoliationWhat comes out depends on what goes in. Formulated with high grade COS-VCE (Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) by CosMol Korea, a leading global supplier.'Ingredients -Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Ethoxydiglycol, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Glycerin, Sodium Gluconate, Acetyl Glucosamine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pullulan, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Sclerotium Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Lecithin, Lactic AcidPriced at - 699/-INR for 30ml.Availability - - AmazonMy Views :I started the incorporation of Vitamin C in my skin routine with Klairs (which happens to be of the best Vit C serum that is) and so my expectations from a Vit C serums are pretty high! None of the Indian brands gave my the confidence to use it on my skin, but the reviews of The Minimalist Vitamin C have been constantly good from everyone I knew, used it. So I did try and I was not really disappointed. It would be harsh to compare the results I got with using Klairs but still good for an Indian skincare brand.Did I see the brightness and the glow I expect from a Vit C serum?! Yes and No! It takes it's own sweet time and is not harsh on skin, the results are good but not as I would expect from A Vitamin C serum( but that's just me being too tough on it).It is a good option for first timers who are looking for pocket friendly yet effective serum!I would rate it a - 3.5/5-------------------------------------On the other news...The Ordinary has made it's entry in India through Nykaa!

Best Tips to Influence Yourself for Eating Healthy

Author Bio: I am Shraddha, graduate from Amity University and associated with OMKITCHEN. I am a passionate content creator who likes to produce informative and engaging content related to health and lifestyle. When not doing that, you can find me trying different kinds of organic food and herbal teas.

It is undoubtedly quite difficult to eat more food that we dislike and let go of the food items that are drool worthy and provide ultimate comfort and enjoyment to our taste buds. Despite knowing the many negative side-effects linked with eating food high in refined sugar and salt, it seems impossible to control our taste buds to devour these dishes. Isn’t it?  While in reality, these food  items that might give temporary satisfaction results in long-term ill effects that are sometimes life-threatening as well.  All of this is responsible because of our taste buds, which is the primary sense that our body relies upon. Frequently eating a diet infused with processed food can create an addiction cycle in our brain which makes it difficult for us to control our unnecessary or sudden cravings for junk food. As a result, our taste buds slowly forget how healthy food tastes like which also leads to giving signals to our brain that the real food has bad taste. If you have started your fitness journey and confused on how to end up the addiction of processed food and increase the intake of healthy food, then you’re at the right place.This blog will share some of the many ways through which you can actually fool your taste buds to appreciate the taste of green vegetables, fruits, and other healthy food. Keep reading to know and learn some tricks to fool your taste buds so that you easily start enjoying natural and healthy food.  - Try Different Combinations

Pairing the food that you dislike with the foods that you love is a great strategy. For an instance, if you hate eating spinach, make a smoothie or fresh juice and use spinach as one of the main ingredients. Don’t add sugar rather add healthy sugar alternatives like honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar to sweeten up the smoothie/juice. Slowly increase the amount of spinach as you start liking the taste. This is by far the best alternative to increase the number of vegetables in our diet that we don’t eat otherwise. Make attractive combinations with any of your favourite food and then pair it with the least favourite one. It will develop a new flavour that you will slowly enjoy. - Learn About Food You Eat

A lot of people don’t realize or pay attention to understand the associated benefits or side-effects linked to the food they eat regularly. As you only rely upon smell or taste, it might increase the desire for food that only tastes good but offers no health benefits. For this reason, it is crucial to educate yourself about different food and their role in making you healthy.

ESSENTIAL OILS YOU NEED FOR YOUR SKIN, HAIR AND HEALTH

I was introduced to essential oils or aromatherapy at quite a young age. My mother would use it for different purposes and for me it was something that was put in boiling water to be inhaled because I had chronic sinusitis. So, I had always known they are beneficial and over the years various essential oils have made their place in my vanity shelf! Isn’t it common that the smell of that lavender or rose in your garden uplifted your mood? Or the citrusy orangey scent made you feel fresh… this is how aromatherapy work, and it’s not just invigorating your senses but aromatherapy offers a lot more. WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS? Coming to the basic question that arises, what are essential oils actually? Essential oils are concentrated extracts of various plants. There are various plants that contain some potentially helpful compounds, and manufacturing process can help extract these useful compounds from these plants. There are different ways of manufacturing these oils and the most common methods are – - Steam or water distillation – Water or hot steam is passed through the plants, pulling the essential compounds away from the plant matter. - Cold pressing – Mechanically pressing or squeezing plant matter to cause it to release essential juices or oils. Essential oils often have a much stronger odour than the plants and contain higher level of active ingredients. WHY DO WE NEED ESSENTIAL OIL? Read the full article

Deyga ~ Rose & Mulethi Face Pack and Sun Screen Spf-30 : Review

Before I start with how I came across this brand let me tell you a little bit about it - Deyga, apart from having a very impressive press feature which includes names like Femina, Grazia and Outlook, also has extremely impressive aims and claims!

Everteen Panty Liners & Bikini Line Hair Removal Cream : Review

It's been a while that Everteen had sent me this package for review and I have reviewed the menstrual cup and intimate wash from there. However, there were these two products as well and I absolutely loved them. I always have thought panty liners are important stuff for every girl to keep handy. And our vaginal area being one of the most sensitive parts of our body, a special hair removing cream for that area sounded really great. So when I received these products... I couldn't wait to use them and I am glad that I did. And let me tell you, these came out really handy during this lockdown! So let's talk about the panty liners first... What are panty liners? Panty liners have been around forever but let me give you a brief idea about the product - It is absolutely normal for women to have some vaginal discharge, an unexpected light period flow, spotting and straining even after the periods are actually over. So these smaller and thinner version of pads provide protection from the above mentioned stuffs thus sparing us from embarrassing and uncomfortable moments. EVERTEEN DAILY PANTY LINERS Claims : Everteen Natural Cotton Daily Panty Liners are made of 100% natural cotton surface which does not cause any irritation and provides you instant dry and soft feel. These liners are thin & comfortable, designed to make you feel like wearing a fresh panty. The negative ion strip used in these pantiliners helps prevent bacterial multiplication and eliminates bad odour. Read the full article

Happiness of creating something beautiful with your own hands 💖 I hated being stuck at the guest room with nothing much to do. And it was that time when everyone was suddenly very active on social media showcasing their baking skills, cooking skills, dancing skills and what not! While it was amazing to watch everyone do what they loved, I could only grumble about my condition 🙄 I had taken a break from my online work because I was busy packing the whole house and travelling to the new station and setting up again, it always becomes difficult during these times and then came Corona and I was left with no job, I had no house, no kitchen, and almost all my stuffs were packed and kept in the store. And I couldn't even go to get my stuffs for reason one being I had no space to keep them and second the covid faculty was right next to the store. But I had to keep myself busy! That's how I have always been... I cannot sit idle, it makes me go mad and I become to most moody cranky person if I am idle for too long! And this Netflix and chill can be done once a week... That's when I started gardening by collecting plants and cuttings from around here and making macrame from leftover packing ropes. Trust me when I say I knew absolutely nothing about gardening just five months back and nothing about macrame three months back ! I put a lot of hardwork, reading and passion into every thing I do and I love how it pays off ❤️ So today I shipped my first macrame order 🙈 Okay it was a friend who insisted on buying it. But then it can still be exciting right ?! #herlittlespace #macramè #macramewallhanging #macramelove #macramemakers #macramemovement #macrameartist #macramedesign #macramecommunity #macramedecor #macrameshelf #macramewallart #creativelifehappylife #armywife #armywifelife #faujiwifelife #faujiwife #handmade #handmadecrafts #handwoven #handmadewithlove #loveforhandmade #shecreates #plantcrazy #decorinspiration #bohohomedecor #bohodecor #bohochic #boho #bohovibes (at Missamari, Assam, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDYlpB1DYRb/?igshid=1oauo1wo39pz0

Swipe ↔️🔊🔛 Entrance area DIY decor "Mera Ashiyana" #homeproud My all time favourite pastime is going through Pinterest! In one of those days I was sitting and scrolling through these beautiful and somewhat impossible to make ideas and DIYs on Pinterest when bhaiya(husband's buddy) peeped in and suddenly said, "cycle ka tyre leke aaun?" "Huh?", I looked up at him wondering why he asked that. "Arre woh upar chala gaya woh photo" I scrolled down to find a dream cather made out of cycle tyre and I quite liked the idea but wasn't sure if I wanted to do it. "Banake kaha lagaun isko?!" "Waise hi deewar pe tang dena jaisa photo pe hai... acha lagega" "Aur cycle ka tyre kaha se laoge?" With quite a mischievous smile and no answer he vanished for half an hour to bring this old but good cycle tyre from somewhere.. "Yeh loh... banao!" These people surprise me at times... "Chori karke toh nai laye" 😛 And still I got no answer but that smile again... So I have no idea from where this cycle tyre came but now it's mine.. hanging there on the bamboo partition in my part of the corridor ☺️ KYONKI PATA NAI GHAR KAB MILEGA🙄 #handmadecrafts #myhomefeel #mygreenspace #entrancedecor #indianhomedecor #indiandecorideas #walldecor #bohohomedecor #diyhome #diyideas #diyhomedecor #diylover #faujiwife #faujiwifelife #faujighar #armywife #balconydecor #myapartmentbalcony #desivibes #indianhomes #prettydecor #homedecorinspo #seeshilpkari #cosyquirk #brightspaceswelove #homecanvas #herlittlespace #armywifelife #desi_diaries (at Missamari, Assam, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6DA3tjjhM/?igshid=3fsywfofd9bz

In The Army Special Train

One week to getting posted out from Chandigarh (that’s what I thought) and it was the week of never-ending parties, after-parties, social gatherings, and formal events. And before you judge me with ‘yeh army wale party bohot karte hain yaar’ let me tell you, “haan yaar… karte hain and we good at it!” On a serious note, that’s how these faujis say goodbye you know, making the most of every minute they get to spend together. They might be working their asses off till 9 pm in the night but you will find them all excited and ready to pull an all-nighter. Reason - you never know we might not meet with the same bunch for a long long time or maybe never. Anyways, so in all these get-togethers, there was this one topic that everyone seemed excited about – the unit would be moving to the next destination in a train, in an army special train! Have you ever heard about the army special train?! Lemme give you an idea: This train is green in colour and not brown or other colours you usually see. And the coaches have “Indian Army” or “Millitary” written on them… cool right?! B) Usually, this special train is used to move one whole unit with all its ‘taam-jhaam’. From men, their luggage, furniture, the whole kitchen with all its utensils and good enough ration (to feed the whole troop during the journey) to pets and flower pots, everything travels together in this(what sounds like a super fun) train.

Just 'not' another crazy plant lady in your neighborhood 🌱💁 The other day my friend had dropped me a msg asking for something at midnight and I replied to her at 5:30 in the morning 🙈 And she was like "dudeee I haven't even slept yet and you are up already?!" 😝 Well well what do I say ... I get up really early on days I have to tend to my green pets.🙈 I read somewhere the best time to tend to your plants is early in the morning and I have been following since ... and looking at how ''khila khila aur hara bhara'' all my plants are, I don't regret my decision. So that's me sitting there looking like a complete mess, tending to my green pets super early in the morning!! Oh did I mention my favourite thing to do while I tend them is to sing, "I like beeeg plants and I cannot lie" in Rachel style 🙊 P.s - Check out how beautifully my Philodendron and Sansevieria(snake plants) are coming up 💚💚 #herlittlespace #greenlivingwithstyle #houseplants #houseplantclub #houseofplantlovers #balconygarden #balconyideas #armywifelife #faujiwife #plantsathome #plantstagram #urbanjungle #homeproud #brightspaceswelove #indoorplants #homestyling #balconydecor #balconyideas #crazyplantlady #capturethewild #bohovibes #armywife #faujighar #faujiwifelife #greenspaces #indianhomes #homestyle #lifestyleblogger #stylinginspiration #bohohomes (at Missamari, Assam, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCs8N-HDnGE/?igshid=dosexir1j4rf

Steam Distilled Pure Rose Water by The Natural Wash : Review

When I received an email from this Indian brand called The Natural Wash, I had not really heard of it or tried any of it's products. But then you all know my obsession for Korean brands when it came to skincare. I shall be very honest when I say that I am a little skeptical trying out products from new brands. So when I got the email, the first thing I did was, to go through it's websites and do a little research on their products. And my first impression on the brand was pretty good. The Natural Wash is an Indian brand that claims their products to be natural, herbal, organic and cost effective. Their products range from skin care, body care to hair care. I love how their website can help you choose products targeting on your exact concerns. I was offered to review one of their products and I had asked for options. They suggested that I go for their signature product and one of their best sellers for summer - Rose Water. Steam Distilled Pure Rose Water This natural rose water is in its purest form as it is made with an ancient technique of steam distillation. And this distilled rose water is specially produced using the fine roses picked directly from the rose fields. It is multipurpose rose water as it can be used as a face toner, facial mist, and base for packs and as a makeup remover. To retain the purity of the Rose Water, TNW employs the same technique of steam distillation, which was used in ancient times to produce the Rose Water. Read the full article

One of those days when I wake up missing mountains more than other days ... That was one lonely walk through those snow covered roads that day. The sudden gush of icy cold winds hitting my face made me pull up my scarf to cover my nose. I was walking slower than usual, I was still a little dizzy from the ride. I looked around to find not a single soul around and I wasn't really sure I was walking the right way... After walking on the most beautiful road for about two kms I saw these little houses with thatched roof. That looked like my homestay but why is the gate covered with snow... It looked like no one stayed here. A little worried I checked my phone's dying battery. I could make a quick call I guess.. "Yeh gate snow se chup gaya hai.. main kaha se aun? "Nai toh.. gate toh khula hai" "Par... " and the phone went off. I tried to keep calm and look for someone passing by, shouted the name of the homestay owner a few times.. no luck. I put down my rucksack and started looking for my phone's extra battery but as usual it has slipped away into some corner when I need it. Just then I hear him shouting, "pura journey phone mei game khel raha tha kya?" as he walked towards me.
