Embryolisse cream review

@embryolisse is a French brand that is here in India in collaboration with @bdesirpro.
Embryolisse is a multi function nourishing moisturiser that also acts like a make up primer and moisturizing mask.
🌼🌼🌼
It is meant for all skin types, it promises a supple and plumped, soft and radiating complexion.
It can be used in morning / night , as a makeup base and as a moisturiser.
🌼🌼🌼
It consists of emollient oil , shea butter , beeswax, aloe vera and soy protein.
The price is Rs 1250/- for 30gms
🌼🌼🌼
I love the fragrance of the moisturiser, it is mild yet captivating. Also what I like about the product is that it is water based and thus super light in texture, melting away easily on the skin without taking much effort. The absorption is great and thus it doesn't feel like that there is a major product applied. The cream is light weighted white and simple.

Ryaal Shampoo and oil review

I have been reading lately that onion does wonders for the hair. In fact , it is one of the ancient Indian remedies to improve the quality of hair. All you need is to apply onion juice before washing you hair.
I often wondered if this is true then why isn't that companies use onion to make oils and shampoos. Is it because of the smell or the processing , and just recently I got an opportunity to try out the hair care range with onions by @ryaalusa
The fusion intense clarity shampoo is infused with rich organic onion extract and herbal extracts of Amla, bhringraj, methi, Brahmi, nagarmotha, ginger and hibiscus
As much as I thought that it would smell of onions , on the contrary , hibiscus makes it smell fruity and flowery and the wine- purple colour makes it look appealing
It also consists oils like basil, neem, and vitamin E
The onion proved to stop infections and dandruff as onion has anti bacterial properties. The other ingredients help in hair growth and minimise breakage.
What I also liked about the product is the packaging. It has a convenient way to get the shampoo in hands and is just the right in terms of size. Especially with the long hair that I have, small trial bottles seem to less and big bottles are too difficult to handle.
The shampoo bottle is priced Rs 500 for 200 ml and is available on the ryaal website as well as Amazon.

Onion oil is the product that I will be talking about. Called as hair food by Ryaal, consists of onion, sandalwood oil and rose oil , coconut oil, sunflower oil, castor oil, argan oil , jajoba oil, hibiscus , Shea butter, mango butter etc
It is known to treat hair fall, dandruff and accelerate hair growth
Known to take away your hair worries, the product says it is like a balance diet for your hair and scalp.
With no parabens, artificial ingredients and made completely with organic herbs and oils, Ryaal has revolutionised hair products. With the combination of hair oil and shampoo together , I am sure results will be seen in no time.
The 200 ml product is priced Rs 600/- and is available on the ryaal website as well as Amazon.

@ryaalusa is a US based brand , with its base in Delhi focuses on bringing the tradition of using organic products to modern users. Known mostly for their essential oils and organic products , ryaal has bought in age old recipes into finished products.
All the products are 100% organic and made with premium raw ingredients like hibiscus , amla, bhringraj etc.
You can also get a discount on Amazon and nykaa, a minimum of 10% available. The products are available on the ryaal website as well nykaa and Amazon.

Butters and more

I visited the @htpalatefest a few days back where a stall full of buttery bottles interested me.
They are organic, made without refined sugar and preservatives.
...
@buttersandmore has a range of butters and spreads more than peanut and almond. To begin with , i found pecan butter which is rarely found anywhere around. In fact there are options with blueberry flavour and with/without sweetness.
...
Other varieties include cashew, pistachio, hazelnut etc. The hazelnut chocolate butter is a near and healthy alternative to nutella and it doesn't have any sugar.
...
There are also range of spreads like seed butter that consist pumpkin , watermelon and other seeds. There is also pure coconut oil butter that one can use for cooking and other purposes. Coconut oil is wonderful for hair and body as well.
...
One can also use the butter to make flavoured smoothies, Indian desserts, and anywhere where nuts are required.
For e.g. cashew butter can be used to make gravies or halwa
...
Shipping of butters are all over India and the price range of these jars range around Rs 250 onwards

Its time to turn yourself around

A blogger's life as you may have judged by now is about experiencing new brands, products and events. While most of us deal with fashion, food and lifestyle ; it feels so refreshing to get something out of the box and worth sharing with fellow readers. And this is one mystical experience that I had a few days back.

After a bad traffic and a long drive , I reached where I was destined for the evening. I always do a little homework before going to an event, of course I have to I am called the 'Prudent Diva'. And I really was excited for this one because I have seen something like this in Dubai and in a few videos. I hope i learn it too was what I desired.

So, where I headed was a whirling class. A sacred dance form that involves mediation and healing through the art of whirling around.

Whirling literally means a rapid movement round and round and this dance form is a way to connect to the divine using the power of circling around.

Whirling has been used as a source of healing, getting energy and balancing our chakras since ancient times. If you notice, almost all old style dances have steps where in one goes around several times. Whether it is kathak, ghumar, garba or western forms like salsa, each of them has whirling that go down much deeper to the fact that they are known to balance ourselves.

The thriive is a whirling community , recently paving way into Mumbai or rather India to bring this new form. The focus here is not only to make people go round but also to explore within. Meditation or simply to sit peacefully and extend ourselves for healing is what one can try out.

I was given the opportunity to try the first demo class that taught the basics and history of whirling.

Coming from a psychology background, dance therapy is one thing I believe can do wonders especially for those who believe in the power of music and dance. And this is one therapy that is so enjoyable. I'm so contented with this existential experience so pure, extraordinary and rejuvenating. And the world of whirling left me spellbound and extramundane.

I will not want to share all intricacies of the event because you have to experience it yourself to understand it. The session was help by the wonderful @realmsofdance (Zia Nath) who effortlessly whirled with joy and passion. Here is a little glimpse of what @thriiveindia offered in this session was,

An insight into what whirling is. It is more than dance and meditation. It balances the body physically and mentally. While the circling around is like a workout, it internally heals and activates the chakras.

The initial process of whirling is taught by using a hand. The hand here symbolises a mirror where you look right into it and focus on yourself within. It is like looking into yourself. Nothing around should bother the individual. One does it clockwise that is turning on the right.

Whirling can be done on any soothing music. Zia , taught us on beautiful poems, quotes and songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, meera bai and verses from the Guru Granth.

The session had a meditation session and a healing session where one just had to feel positive and watch whirling.

@realmsofdance (Zia) also had a whirling act blindfolded which was done so gracefully and got people to a level beyond explanation.

The session ended with a chakra or circle formation, which is a way of connecting people and establishing communication.

Thriive also has many different workshops related to art, mediation and healing. One of which is related to canvas painting that is coming soon. Check out their page to know more.

Until then, turn your self around, go round , circle , whirl and experience positivity!
