Less wetting hair . Habits in a hurry in the morning might make you not flushed enough water so that the hair is completely wet.

Personal cards VS Traditional cards - A guest post!


It's actually been so long since I've had a guest post up so I couldn't say no when Lily Fox contacted me about posting her feature. I really love the idea behind this post as I whole heartedly agree with everything she has said - being a crafter myself, one of my favourite things to do is to create handmade and personal cards. I also love seeing people's faces or seeing how touched they are at receiving something so personal and thoughtful.

Here's what Lily has to say about it.

Why a Personalised Card is Better than a Traditional Card

More and more people are sending personalised cards rather than traditional cards. A personalised card can be made in a number of different ways, from being produced by hand, through to being ordered from a specialist card company. Personalised cards can also be designed and sent online. In this way, personalised cards do offer some opportunities for sending a more specific message than traditional cards, and can be more memorable. These kinds of cards also make it easier for children to get involved in designing and personalising cards for parents and friends, and can make for a good family activity. However, traditional cards do have their advantages, most notably in terms of the ease of buying and sending them, as well as the reliability of a tangible, well designed card for a special occasion.

1 - A More Specific Message
Personalised cards are more direct and can allow for a more specialist message. Rather than writing a personalised message within a normal card, a card giver can extend personalisation to the whole card. This might mean adding a person’s name to the front of the card, or adding photographs and references that they will know more intimately than that of a normal card.

2 - Easier Ways to Send and Receive
Personalised cards are often easier to send and receive than traditional cards. E-cards can be designed online and emailed or shared through social networks. In this way, the cost of posting cards is reduced, and the sender can find out when the card has been received through an online delivery receipt.

3 - More Memorable
Personalised Cards are more likely to be memorable if they are tied to a particular event or recent message around a birthday. The card could be made up of recent photographs, or a reference to a holiday or family event that might have taken place in the year since a last birthday. In the same way, a card made online could feature interactive parts such as a video or a slideshow of pictures.

4 - Better Way for Children to Give Cards
The hands on experience of making a personalised card, or the ability to experiment with different templates and styles as part of an online card, does represent an excellent way for children to give out better cards. The creative experience makes them feel more involved in a birthday, and also gives them a chance to produce their own messages, rather than just putting their name onto a generic card.

5 - Strengths of Traditional Cards
On the other hand, traditional cards are still the most basic and easiest solution to picking a high quality design. Senders might not have the time to put the work into a personalised card, and might instead rely on finding a suitable card that can be posted. In the same way, an online card has the problem of not being tangible enough in terms of being something that can be put on display. While e-cards can be printed out, they lack the tangible nature of traditional cards, or ones that have been made by hand.

Stop Squeezing Your Pimples - 7 Safe Ways to Get Rid of Pimples

It's everyone's worst nightmare. Waking up the day before a

special event to discover a big, red pimple baring itself for all

to see right on your face!

Here's how to get rid of it quickly and safely:

Pimples

1. Don't ever pinch, squeeze or pick at a pimple. This only

causes it to become more red and inflamed, and will spread the

bacteria and oils that caused it in the first place, to other

parts of your face! It can also lead to scars.

2. Every 30 minutes, apply an ice pack to the pimple and hold it

there for about 2 minutes. This will decrease the swelling and

redness and help shrink the inflammation and pain that sometimes

comes along with it.

3. They don't call it concealer for nothing! Covering the pimple

with a light dose of flesh-tinted concealer can help mask it when

you're in a hurry. It also helps cover up that oily shine.

4. Cleanse your skin 2-3 times a day with mild, unscented soap or

a specialized acne cleanser that has no harsh chemicals (such as

lye). Scrub skin gently with an exfoliating pad or washcloth, but

don't rub too hard, otherwise you'll sap your skin of its own

natural oils, which help to repel buildup naturally.

5. Apply a cream or ointment containing benzyl peroxide or

salicylic acid (many over-the-counter acne medicines contain

these ingredients) to the blemish or around the entire facial

area. Note that these ingredients both have a tendency to dry

out skin if used too much and are not recommended if you have

sensitive skin.

6. Wear oil-free makeup whenever possible. These types have less

of a tendency to cause the pore buildup that results in

blemishes. Remove your makeup nightly and cleanse with an

acne-fighting medicine to remove dirt, oil and makeup from deep

within the skin.

7. If you're in need of a quick fix, a dab of toothpaste on the

affected area right before bed can help soothe irritation and

reduce redness. Pressing and holding a wet tea bag or a cotton

ball with a dab of lemon juice against the blemish for five

minutes can also reduce swelling and redness.

If you follow these tips, chances are you'll notice a significant

difference rather quickly - often within a day or two. If

pimples become a recurring problem or worsen, your doctor or

dermatologist can suggest a daily skin cleansing routine that

will suit your skin type. Other long-term remedies, such as

facial masks, diet adjustments and increasing the amount of water

you drink can also help combat outbreaks.

REVIEW: The Body Shop Banana Shampoo And Conditioner

I have never ever liked to eat bananas... Never! My dad swears by them but he could never get me to eat them but the day I laid my eyes on the TBS Banana shampoo and conditioner, I am seeing bananas in a totally different light... I might even venture into buying a dozen when I go fruits shopping the next time... Ha ha!

I have severely dry and frizzy hair and yes you may call them damaged as well, I will not take offense to it :P But they have been tamed to quite an extent when I started using the TBS RainForest Shampoo and Conditioner duo... I was really happy with it until I smelled the Banana Shampoo on one of my impromptu visits to TBS. It was love at first smell. Literally! I didn't buy it then cause I wanted to first finish my RainForest range and well needless to say, the day it got over, I rushed to TBS and got me these beauties :)

The Banana shampoo and conditioner look similar with a slight difference in their consistencies. They both look like freshly made banana shake and smell like a banana flavored bubblegum. There is just no way that you will not like the fragrance. Its just so glorious.

Shampoo wise, its a great mild shampoo and really really tames my frizz and makes my hair all soft and smooth. The day I started using this shampoo and conditioner duo, I haven't had to "flat-iron" my hair... My hair as is looks so smooth... And ladies mind you, it's the monsoons with Pune receiving rains like never before!

Price wise, it is one of the more reasonable products from TBS and hence I have nothing to complain about :P

Image of the Product



Oooohhsss And Aaaahhhhsss!!!
1. It smells heavenly.
2. It leaves ones hair really soft and smooth
3. It even tames frizz (during the monsoons even)
4. One of the cheaper products of TBS (Touchwood)
5. Bottles are made out of 100% recycled plastic
6. Washes off easily and doesn't leave any residue on the scalp
7. HG shampoo and conditioner material.

Ouches!!!
 None that I can think of.

Price
It costs INR 515/- each for the shampoo and the conditioner.

Repurchase?
Yes! I think I have finally found my HG shampoo and conditioner duo!

Would I Recommend?
Definitely! If you are struggling with rough and frizzy hair, then this is the shampoo for you my firend :) If you are environmentally conscious then you would love to know the fact that the shampoo and conditioner bottles are made out of 100% recycled plastic.

Overall Rating:
10/10
