Perfect haircare with the Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil - Vital Ingredients

Some products over time with use become your Holy Grail products and one such product that I can’t do without anymore is the Dabur Vatika Coconut Enriched Hair Oil. You guys have read my experience here and also the damages that it cures here, but do you know what all it’s enriched with?


Here you go!


Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil Ingredients


It has these miracle ingredients which have done wonders for my hair:
  • Coconut Oil – Tones hair thus preventing hair breakage and hair fall, prevents hair damage and premature hair graying, removes dandruff and prevents frizz and split ends.
  • Amla- Conditions hair, removes dandruff, helps, scalp produce natural oils, rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants that prevent premature graying.
  • Henna- Adds shine and volume, colours hair naturally, prevents damage, promotes hair growth, reduces hair fall, prevents hair from greying.
  • Lemon- Fights dandruff, strengthens hair roots, prevents hair loss, stimulates hair growth, deep conditions hair, adds strength and makes the hair shinier and thicker.

There is a variant that has Hibiscus too!


Hibiscus- Encourages hair growth, discourages split ends, prevents pre-mature greying of the hair strands, thickens hair and helps eliminate toxins.

Not only did Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil strengthen my hair from root to tip and encourage hair growth, it also helped against hair loss, hair damage and I still am free from any premature graying.

Hangover in Vegas - Virat Kohli invites you to 'The WROGN Auditions!'

Is there anything such as WRONG or RIGHT? Well its all subjective. It's all about personal judgement here and what may be right for some is wrong for others. So while we can go on debating on this, let me tell you where this disputable topic arises from! :)

It's all about breaking away from the ordinary and deciding your own path, just like WROGN - Virat Kohli's fashion brand which believes in being unpredictable and debating the conventional. That's the very base of the exciting 'WROGN Auditions' where you could win an epic trip to Vegas with 3 besties to have the best hangover of your lives! Have you ever heard something sounding more right than this? ;-)


Exactly! You need to head to The Wrogn Auditions now!! A set of 10 questions with no so called “correct” answers will be thrown at you with a timer ticking away, and the right answers will take you ahead while the wrong answers will get you thrown out. Fret not, losing here is not that easy as a simple share on Facebook/Google + will give you another shot at the auditions. Winners who clear all 10 questions stand a chance to win an all expenses paid Hangover Weekend in Vegas with your 3 besties of course!

I played a couple of times and I will be honest with you that the first time round I was thrown out in the first round itself because hell no, you cannot parallel park when you are drunk, not because you are not capable but because you shouldn't be doing it since drinking and driving is not what you should do! So while I proudly said I can, I was smacked on my face with this answer which made me really feel ashamed. So now you know what I am talking about. Don't think that you can put your thinking cap on and get through this game. It is an out of the box experience playing this and the max I could reach was the 6th round which makes me realize that I still don't think that unconventionally. Sigh! However I know one of you lucky ones there is going to make me proud and take that jing bang of yours on the most amazing Hangover inspired trip to Vegas! 

So what are you waiting for, Virat's waiting for you! 

May the WROGN man win! ;-) And if you do, scream it out to the world, because....

My attempts are not over yet, coz a hangover in Vegas is everyone's dream! ;-)

The new #PepeKidInTown!

When it comes to denim, there are very few brands that I tend to pick up and Pepe Jeans London is one of them. It was one of the first denim brands that were a part of my wardrobe as an older teen, and my mother was the one instrumental in adding that to my wardrobe. Come 2015, they announce the most amazing thing to happen - They are extending their global expertise in the kids wear category which was introduced in 2004 in their home market, finally to India! For a mother like me who loves dressing her child up, what better news could their be? I too will finally follow my mother's footsteps and make Pepe a part of my lil girl's life though at a much earlier stage thanks to this launch :)

The #PepeKidInTown launch took place last week at Tote on the Turf in Mumbai, and Aryaa received her first official invite for this event. She had a ball! The launch setup was like a kids carnival. The runway was gorgeously created with a dreamy feel and had balloons floating all over. Tara Sharma and Alesia Raut walked with their kids, while Natasha Suri, Anchal Kumar and Shveta Salve walked the ramp with their nephews and nieces. It indeed was a cute affair!



They have launched to currently cater to children in the age group of 4 to 12 years. The Autumn Winter 2015 Collection is their first collection and consists of  casuals that Pepe Jeans is synonymous with such as their classic jeans, stylish denim jackets and cool printed t-shirts and shirts for boys; and gorgeous coloured jeans, denim shorts, skirts, playsuits, cute tops and pretty dresses for girls.

Let me give you some more details on the collection via some more information and cute collages! :)

Pepe Jeans London little girls

I was really excited to check out what they had in store for little girls and discovered that the Pepe Jeans A/W '15 girls collection consists of 2 distinct stories. Indigo Essentials is a combination of light blues and dark blues, washed, mixed or blended and are combined with pale reds, pinks and touches of grey marl. Some of the dresses had a cute boho feel to them and it looked adorable on the little girls on the runway. Downtown Playground consists of cool and playful styles with unique prints like pretty florals, polka dots, stars and graphic embroideries in textured elements. The colour palette here consists of bright corals, brick reds, and blue which is the signature Pepe colour. Can't wait for them to launch the toddler range for girls! :)

Romper Mania!

I loved the cute little romper with the lace detailing and the jacket with the aztec print on the sleeves. Fits in perfectly together to create an adorable look! :)

It's Play Time!

Denim shorts are a kids staple and this cutout emboidered shorts with this baby pink t-shirt make for the cutest play time outfit. Comfy yet smart!

Too Cool For School

Short skirts on little girls make me go awwww and this all denim with a bright sleeveless top is the perfect school outfit for your little lady :)

Dress to Impress :)

Dresses are a part of every girl's wardrobe and are the girliest things that our little princesses can own :) These floral and polka dot ones are my favourite!

Pepe Jeans London little boys

When it comes to the Pepe Jeans A/W '15 boys collection, they make people like me who don't have a boy, crave to have one thanks to 3 super cool distinct stories that they have created. The Indigo Collection consists of cool washes and strong prints. The colour palette comprises of the lightest to the darkest blues with focus on brick red and gold. Outer wear and shirts are key to the Bohemian collection inspired by the great outdoors and you can see checks in different sizes amplified to its best to suit a kiddie range but remind you of adults. The Classic Sport look is very university inspired with embroideries, appliqués, and union jack inspired graphics. Colours are a perfect mix of bright and classic tones, rugby greens, classic shades like burgundy and navy with gold highlights. The collection surely spells out fun!

The Cool Dude!

These yellow coloured shorts will be the brightest thing to pep up your child's look with that nice mint t-shirt. Throw on this star print denim shirt to up the coolness quotient for your little dude!

Playdate
Playdates are fun times and this lovely collared t-shirt with these cargo pants and eye catching denim jacket is perfect for that outing. You want your kid to look the best and this look will do that trick!


Check mate

Check shirts on little boys are the cutest things ever and this hoodie shirt with washed out denims would be my go to look if I had a boy :)

Fall Sporty Style

Boys and sports go hand in hand and looking stylish yet not compromising on comfort is what this look is all about! The tracks and henley are your best bet and if it starts to get chilly then just throw on this 'will-make-heads-turn' jacket :)

Aren't you as much in love with their collection as much as I am after seeing these adorable looks? Well then head to the nearest store and start shopping. The Kids wear Collection will be available at exclusive Pepe Jeans stores at Connaught Place and the newly opened Kamla Nagar store in Delhi, at the Linking road store and at R-City Mall, Inorbit - Vashi and Infinity Malad in Mumbai; as well as at the Pepe Jeans store on Bel road, HSR, HRBR, Indiranagar and Banshakari in Bangalore and select Pepe Jeans outlets in Lucknow, Goa and Hyderabad. The prices start at INR 499.

Unclutter with BoxMySpace!

Mumbai is a city that is over-populated. Zillions flock to this city to fulfill their dreams and Mumbai makes them its own too but at a cost. The cost we pay is having to cut down on living spaces and paying a premium price for the smallest of houses. It's only the affluent here who can afford huge houses here and I definitely am not one of them. Being a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blogger, there is a constant flow of related stuff into the house. For me discarding things is also very difficult and hence my house is overflowing with stuff. Add to that Aryaa's entry into our lives last year and obviously a flood of things that I need and must have for her. My 2 bedroom started feeling like a studio apartment. Somehow PS and I tried to buy more wardrobes and fit everything in, not to forget I already had 3 of my own other than what PS had. We somehow were managing until we needed a lot more stuff for Aryaa and add to that her birthday last month. That was it! I had no more space left. We had reached saturation point and a solution was much needed!

This was when I was contacted by BoxMySpace - an innovative valet storage service in Mumbai, Nasik and Pune. You can store such things with them that you might want keep for the long run but don't necessarily have the space to keep at home. They offer storage by the box or by the space. The service includes picking up of things from your doorstep, storing it safely  in their warehouses and delivering it back to you in less than 24 hours to you when you need it. The USP I would say would be that they upload images of all the items you have stored with them online in your account so that you have a visual reference for anytime that you need something back. They have monthly, quarterly, half yearly and yearly packages available for you to choose as per your requirement.


This is how it works!


 And this is how pocket friendly it is!


Aryaa received a lot of things on her birthday. While the gifts were lovely, a lot of them were something that she would be able to use only after a few months and so we decided to use the services of BoxMySpace for the same. There were also a few things of hers that she had grown out of but I would need them for the next baby like her carrier and rocker and so I decided to send that off to BoxMySpace too. Here is how my cluttered bedroom work corner looked with all the stuff before I started uncluttering.

Work in progress
And finally my uncluttered bedroom work corner! :)
Can you see the difference? Well it made a huge one to me and I know I can call back for these as and when I want :)
To know more about BoxMySpace, please visit them on:
Twitter - https://twitter.com/boxmyspace

I am nominating 2 of my blogger friends who I am sure need these services ;-) and they are Prerna Sinha from MaaofallBlogs and Dollie Solanki from Indian Shringar.

Do check out the services of BoxMySpace if you too have a space crunch issue and they for sure can help you out!
