Get Quikr NXT

This post is apart of Quikr NXT Campaign by Quikr & IndiBlogger. Here is the link - 

Quikr is a one stop shop. It takes care of all the needs of a buyer and seller. It in my opinion has changed the outlook of online retailing. Earlier e-commerce was only confined to buying but with Quikr coming in one can buy, sell, get information about various services of tuition classes, plumbing and even matrimony. It truly is a one stop shop. Selling online has become famous among people of all generations. The other day my Grandma wanted me to put up her old arm chair on Quikr (although with great difficulty, she somehow managed to get it right quik.. quikr) because the local scrap dealer would give nothing more than 200 for it. Well the youngsters being tech-savy have definitely adapted to this way of buying and selling. Way to go Quikr, you have people of all ages watching your ads and well pretty much following them.

Adding a feather to its cap, Quikr has come up with its latest feature- Quikr NXT. This feature allows its users to chat on Quikr. Now this feature of Quikr which allows buyers and sellers to fix a deal on chat is the best thing so far. It has made things easier and thus a lot of convenience to both the buyers and sellers.
Buyers can now ask multiple sellers and get all product information over chat. No need to make those phone calls and simply waste your mobile balance. Not just this but also one can share pictures over chat and thus this would help the buyer to get to see how the product looks with detailing of all its features.
Sellers can now have a good time. They are not going to be disturbed by multiple sellers on phone calls and business mails. Now they are only confined to Quikr. You don’t want to be answering calls of prospective buyers when you are out for a meeting- business meeting or one with your girlfriend. Thus this takes care of the privacy of both the buyer and seller.

The next benefit of Quikr NXT which allows the buyer and seller to connect over a chat is that it helps to preserve such conversations and thus avoiding any future conflicts of any sort. You will be having the entire conversation over a chat and thus in a written form which is better than a conversation over a phone call which can be interpreted differently by the buyer or the seller. A chat would clear doubts more precisely and thus give a better buying and selling experience to the two.

It also gives number privacy. You don’t want your number to go to every Tom, Dick and Harry. With Quikr NXT no worry of sharing your number, you can simply chat on Quikr and fix your deal at the best price.



Garnier Pure Active Neem Face Wash

See that pimple on her face, oh my god! Thank goodness I have got rid of mine! I am not coming out today, I am unwell! I am down with fever, you guys go ahead! The wedding is too boring, you carry on! Aren’t these all such familiar excuses that we have heard off and rather used too often to not go out on that particular day, when you have all stars popping out in red, and your face shinning out with the extra oil, to add more to your worries.

Yes guys, let’s face it, all of this has occurred to us once in our life time, in fact more often than that, blame it on your skin type, or blame it to the skin you got as a dowry from your parents, or blame it best on the increasing levels of pollution and stressful lifestyle. Trust me the answer is not just one, but all these factors have equally contributed to the red marks that occur on your skin.
And as a girls, this worries you all the more, it all starts from home and then comes out in the open. From your elder sister asking you to stop eating oily diet, to your brother adding fuel to the fire and taking away your sweet diet. From your mother asking you to applying natural homemade remedies to your neighbors telling you to see a dermatologist. This goes on till you are so humiliated and disgusted with your own face that you feel so low in morale and confidence that you decide not to step out of the house. But let me ask you, is this the solution to your problems? The answer is no, these are just temporary remedies you are taking to heal your wound, this problem needs to be treated from within.

Let me share with you my story of pimple days and how I felt then, so it all begun at an age where you want to party and freak out the most, and trust me those are the best days of your life. Yes folks I am referring to the college days- the fun days! Don’t we all want to make the most out of the class bunking’s and the college gatherings. And instantly comes the answer – yes, of course! And in such a situation one cannot entertain the pimples on the face.

And so it was for me, and for one of the most awaited days; the college prom night. It is that one day, which we all eagerly look forward to, because the days in college have a mix of all emotions, from fun to attractions, from loving to play. And so it was with me, I was quite excited about the prom night and more so, because I was going out with a guy, who was my crush then and had asked me out for the prom night to be his partner.

I remember, the morning, a chilly December day and there I was in the washroom staring blankly at my pimple, which had come without any invitation and gave no intimation. I was in tears, because I did not want that my crush noticed a big ugly, and red pimple on my face, and right there on my cheek. I was upset and ran to my mother for help, she as usual advised to use her home remedies but nothing worked. I knew my day was ruined and that I would not be able to celebrate the night, which I have been longing for, and so I decided to ditch my cute crush, which ultimately resulted in me crushing my own crush for a life time, as he was upset that he was ditched by me at the last moment, but I was so helpless that I could never explain to him the reason was the uninvited guest – pimple. And so, one of my most memorable and fun days in college were missed out on because of my pimples.


Well guys, here is my little story of how pimples have actually made me lose out on all the fun during the best days of my life, how I wish I had a chance to relive those days minus the pimples.

Healthy child makes a happy home

This post is a part of Dabur Campaign in association with IndiBlogger. Here is the link- https://www.liveveda.com/dabur-chyawanprash/

It is very rightly said that a healthy child makes a happy home. It is the child who brings joy, happiness at home. Also a child’s sorrow becomes a matter of concern for the entire family. Having said this a child’s health is utmost for a happy family. In fact not only the child but the health of every single member in the family must be taken care of as it is said that health is wealth. As it’s said that money can buy all the luxuries in life however health cannot be bought by money.

Child’s health matters a lot because those are the growing days of the child. A good immune system now makes for a better and healthy future. A healthy diet with the required nutritions like vitamin, mineral, protein and calcium is a must for every child. This helps the child increase the immunity and in turn strengthen the immune system. A great immune system helps fight al illnesses. It also protects the child from falling sick too often which children are prone to.
I briefly remember when I was young and if ever I fell sick, my mother was the most affected. She used to leave all her chores and come running to me. Not just her but the entire family would stop everything they did only till I got better. A child’s cry and pain brings tears to a mother’s eyes because it is the mother who lives through the child. Child’s laughter brings happiness to the entire family. This is how a healthy child who would be happy and content would make the entire family happy and thus a happy home.

Healthy eating habits not just speak of the child but they also reflect the upbringing of the child and it also reflects the environment that the child is exposed to at home. A healthy living and healthy habits inculcated in a child right from their childhood days not just help children in their young days but also when they grow up to be adults.

I would especially place emphasis here for the girl child as they need that kind of strength and stamina to keep the nature’s cycle moving and experiencing motherhood. What a child learns now i.e. in their young days stays with them forever. They not only practice it themselves but also preach it to probably their peers and take it up their future generations. Hence the good habits of eating healthy and stay healthy and fit passes from one generation to the next.

Hence to conclude there is one product that helps your child fight illnesses and gives immunity up to 3 times more, it is Dabur Chyawanprash which truly defines a healthy child makes a happy home.

CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO

This post is a part of #UseYourAnd activity at BlogAdda in association with Gillette Venus

I remember this happening to me so many times in my life, and excuse me for coming straight to the point, without having any introductions to the topic. Yes, I recollect such situations in my life almost all throughout when I was growing up and I always settled for things that I never wanted to do or be in. I personally believe as a woman you go through this all the more, ever wondered why? And you will be told because you are a girl and that you need to get married soon and have a family of your own. So are you trying to say that you are not my family, who bought me up for the last 20 years? Will you disown me only because our illogical and orthodox society still cannot live with the fact that there is a girl in the neighborhood who is aged 20, and per them it is the perfect age to look for a perfect and uneducated groom. Well, such complex is the society we live in or rather convenient for the men as it is a male dominated one as they say.
Now, coming back to what I am here to pen down my thoughts about, choose between the two. Let me tell you I have been through these situations all my life and in fact still come across them. The only reason why it has reduced, is because I have started taking a stand and I fight for my own right, which begins from your home. So my story goes like saying that I am mid aged woman and a mother of two and live in a family where the mother in law and daughter in law dramas are never ending, yes you got it right, I am part of a joint family and where almost every day is a birthday celebration and yet the next day is a day of confrontation. And so in such a family getting yourself a new dress was also a crime as you cannot afford to live for yourself and be so selfish. (like really, getting yourself a new dress is being selfish??)
Well, it all started with taking initiatives from buying myself a dress to moving on to writing about them, yes you got it write, I am housewife and as I said a mother of two and also a fashion blogger for you. My passion for fashion is like the pani and the puri. They have been there in my blood and I always wanted to be a designer, but blame it on destiny or call it the game of matrimony. I believe it was the latter one , which I was trapped into and life grew on from there till I have my children who are in their mid- teens. I now realized how empty and meaningless my life was and that I never lived for myself, it was always family and the added responsibility and so I decided to change the directions of this wind and got myself a laptop, with the help of magic wind. And here I am today an active blogger who writes not about food and recipes online but about the trending fashion line.
I did not settle for or in my life and gave it a new meaning by adding and instead. I took the courage at this age of starting to believe in myself again and pen it down through my sense of fashion and glamour as you may call it!

Never settle for things in life that don’t give you happiness, because the day you are truly happy your heart knows it from within and you live with that feeling of being content each day you wake up.

THINGS THAT DEFINE ME

This post is a part of #UseYourAnd activity at BlogAdda in association with Gillette Venus 

Things that define you as a person, are so crucial that they actually remain with you for a lifetime. As a young teenager I always remember my mother asking me to behave in a certain manner, ask her why? And she would instantly reply; because dear daughter you are going to go one day and that women in the society must have certain etiquettes and mannerism.
Honestly it all never made sense to me, especially when I saw my younger sibling, my brother not following any of these, and for some reason it all never applied to him. Ask the lady of the house, and she would instantly reply; because he is a boy. Boy?? I looked at her blankly then, and even now wonder why is it that the discrimination starts in the days of your innocence, why is that somewhere it’s always a woman putting the other woman down. When is this going to stop and when will our mothers ever realize that they contribute and play such a vital role in upliftment of our breed of humans.
Well, things that define me as a person, is one such topic I always thought of writing about, not because I am self-obsessed, but only because I feel the world should know the power of women in the society and that we are far ahead of the male breed in every aspect. I have a justification for this one.
From that eye catchy feature to my loving and caring nature, they say it all! I believe in myself and I think that defines me as a person. I believe in giving and spreading love and I believe that defines me as a person. I am always giving and always welcoming, and I believe that defines me as a person. I believe in letting it go and still having a sense of achievement and I think that defines me as a person.
I believe in giving liberty and yet set some boundaries, and that I think defines me as a person, I know nothing is impossible and hence wake up each day with the thought that I will make it possible. I am that shoulder to cry and yet that shoulder which gives you strength.  

These my dear folks is what I believe defines me and every woman, because you have all been through these stages in your life and which has now made you as they say a woman of substance.

Review of the Electro Lip Balm

Greetings of the day dear readers!
i might have been a little late on this one but I thought it was important to give my take on this. So here I am with a review of the Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Lip Balm.

PICTURE CREDITS: www.boots.com

What I like the most?

  • It's colorful & nice
  • It's got this lovely neon kick
  • It's in a very cute black cover
What could be better?
  • It's availability could be better. I tried getting this one particular shade "Pink Shock" for over a month. I finally did! Woaahhh Victoryyy is what I felt!

So yes I have tried strike a rose and pink shock as I prefer lip balms in shades of pink and where is my take:

Strike a Rose: The color doesn't show as much. However I like how it is subtle inspite of being neonish. So its a good buy if you're not the neon kind but you probably took it because.. umm everyone is got one of these or you probably liked the packaging.

Pink Shock: Shocking pink, hot and glamorous. I love love this one. as earlier mentioned I had to wait for a mover a month to get it however I must say that it was totally worth the wait.

If you wish to know whether you should buy it or not?

Well I would say, you definitely should if you haven't till now.


Comment below with your take on the same. Keep reading :)
