Wow Period with The Violet Box

Hey guys, what's happening? Hope y'all are excited for all the holidays that are coming up this month. Its gonna be a fun time! Well, it wasn't so much for me till now, since I just returned in town after giving my civils exam day before, (Yeah okay, don't be shocked, I'm half dead already.) But please wish me luck!

Anyways, coming back to today's post for my pretty girls once again, its about a period box subscription brand called, THE VIOLET BOX. A few weeks ago I shared with you a similar post about another brand selling the similar type of boxes and you all loved it. I also received a lot of messages telling me that the post appeared really useful for a lot of you too, so I thought of sharing this one now so that you all have choices. Violet Box, as I mentioned is a subscription box, that contains some cool period essentials for girls, that can help them pass through their cramps in a lighter mode. You can get the box from their website (www.theviolet.in) very easily. 

PS : Its a very new startup but has made its name wide! Check out all the details of this month's box and subscription links below.

Some of us already know that each woman spends over 1500 days of her life having periods, and it's not an easy task for us ladies to experience the whole process every single month, especially with the PMSing factor that's included! Violet Box has thus come to our rescue with a very thoughtful idea of supplying WOW BOX 1.7 to us with affordable period essentials at Rs. 899+ to help us pamper ourselves during our monthly menstruation cycle! 

I recently received my set of goodies in the Violet Box that include the following :

Food & Lifestyle Products - Its quite known a fact that women deal with random cravings during their periods, and it becomes difficult to sustain it especially when people around you cannot understand the sudden boomed up mood swings! That's when Violet Box helps you open your box of goodies and enjoy the gourmet chocolates, fine teas and refresh your mood with aromatic incense. This set includes : 

1. Yogi Tea from Exalte

2. Sandalwood Incense from Organic Incense

3. Yellow Roast Coffee from Blackbazza

4. Lemongrass & Green Tea from Typhoo

5. Power Chocolate Bar from Yoga Bar

6. Gourmet Chocolates from Ferrero Rocher

Beauty and Skincare Products - Every woman needs to maintain hygiene not just during the periods but throughout. During menstruation, it becomes a little more important to take care your skin and hence, Violet Box sends you the most amazing beauty and skincare products to use and experience bliss! This set includes : 

1. Hand Sanitizer from Tempo

2. Apricot Face Scrub from Just Herbs

3. Hazenut Body Lotion from Nature's Co.

4. Petal Soft Facepack from Just Herbs

5. Lemongrass Foot Spray from Nature's Co.

6. Coffee Face Scrub from Nature's Co.

7. Sanitary Napkins from Whisper & Carefree 

(different sizes depending upon your blood flow)

I personally tried each and every product from this box and hence it took me a little while to publish this review for you all, since I wanted to make sure that I do not send out a false word about any product or brand that sends me stuff to write about. I highly recommend Violet Box to all the girls reading this post, and if you care about your friends, please do refer it ahead! Its very easy subscribe to your monthly box, all you have to do is to choose from the variants available for the number of months you want to pay for, select a date, and pay! You can get your box customized too (just call on : +91 91680 57862).

NOTE : The producers of the Violet Box have initiated a social cause for women who cannot afford basic period essentials. So, for every single box that you subscribe to on the Violet website, they donate a a handful of essentials to those in need through Swadhar and WRH. I totally support this cause and would like you to contribute towards a healthier and happier world for women around us! #PositiveVibesOnly

Skincare Essentials with Love, for All

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing good! Well, some of you must be under stress because of your exams but worry not, because they're going to get over anyways and I know you'll rock it all, loves!

Its been quite sometime since a lot of you were wanting me to share some of my daily skincare essentials for a healthy, smooth and glowing skin. So, today I've got some of my most used products, not just for summers or winters but that I use throughout the year! And the good part is, these ones are not just for my girlies, but you guys out there too (who keep asking me to share something for ya'll as well)!

Now, we all want a picture-perfect, flawless skin. Clear skin is one of the main elements of a person’s beauty; but why just the face? Your over all body skin needs to stay healthy because it helps you feel happy & confident as well. Basically, your skin care regimen and lifestyle habits are the primary predictors of your skin’s health. Some of the leading factors that take a toll on the quality and texture of your skin are stress, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, pollution, damage from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, excessive smoking and drinking alcohol. But, end that remorse now. I've got you some really good products that once you use, you'll never want to replace them with anything else or give up! Take a quick look at my favorites below and decide for yourself...

1. Mild Soaps from SHUDDHI HERBALS - Since this post is about your over all body skin, the first new products I've started using since the start of this year are these soaps. Now you'll ask, what's so special about these, because they look regular? Well, not so regular I may say, and these are extremely beneficial for a smooth skin, since they're naturally handmade, and are so mild on your skin that leave the softest feel for you to perceive! The Lavender Soap (purple) has antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. It has a calming and relaxing effect that soothes your senses after the first bath itself! And, coming to the Soft Touch Soap (pink), that is like the best piece I've ever bathed with. Such a mind-blasting aroma and the super moisturising effect makes my skin feel like the new born baby's! Its been 2 months straight and I'm just on to order some more of it in bulk now, from HERE.

2. Coffee Cream Soap from FUSCHIA VKARE - Its not that I really like to experiment with new things for my skin, but I just had to try this scrub soap from Vkare. Where on one hand I use the mild soaps during my morning bath, in the evening I prefer using a scrub soap to clear off all the dead skin and the dullness acquired after having a stressful day! This soap contains coffee that certainly has a number of benefits for your skin; from treating redness and inflammation to reducing the appearance of under-eye circles, to getting rid of cellulite! By incorporating caffeine into your skin care routine you can reveal evenly toned smooth skin all over your body. The best part is, you can use this soap on your face too, so ditch that facewash in the evening and start using this yummy, aromatic soap to get a healthy, glowing skin!

3. Bath Salt from FUSCHIA VKARE - The best way to refresh you after a long tiring day is to soak yourself in some bath salt and lavender being my favorite, I chose this one (as you can see in the pictures above). Simply add the bath salt to your bath water, allow the salts to swirl around gently as you take a deep breath, lie back and unwind in your own personal bath, or scrub gently on your body for exfoliation. (For foot use approximate 20-30gms of salt and for bath use 50gms-80gms bath salt, in warm water). It has several benefits to mention, it helps relax sore muscles, eliminate body aches and pains in joints and muscles, relieves Stress, rejuvenates skin by removing dead skin cells leaving the skin revived, comfortable & healthy looking. This detoxifying delicately scented bath salt provides warm, intense, rich aroma turning an ordinary bath into a relaxing and fragrant retreat. It also contains mineral-rich sea salt to reduce fluid retention & promote circulation, blended with Epsom salt that detoxifies by drawing impurities from skin. Me and my skin feels delighted after using this bath salt, and I strongly recommend you to try it!

4. Anti-Ageing Night Cream from FUSCHIA VKARE - If you follow me on Snapchat, you must have noticed my first reaction towards this product sent to me by Vkare, I asked them in the story, do I look old or you want me to never have wrinkles in real? I asked myself, do anti-ageing creams really work for a 22 aged? Well, after actually trying this night cream on my skin, I can simply say, 'I.feel.good!' Arabian Jasmine oil clarifies, hydrates & heals skin, prevents from sagging and keeps the skin firm. Free of parabens, artificial tints  &  synthetic  perfumes, this cream helps to restore the essential oils that is robbed off due to the hassles of daily life. The revitalizing and anti-ageing action helps you to keep those years in check. According to skin care experts it is during the night that our skin repairs itself. The toxins accumulated during the day are also flushed out. The skin begins the healing process and also produces the natural oils helping to keep it moisturised. The fact that we are not constantly exposed to the elements that harms our skin, like pollution and the rays of the sun, during the night, further helps the effectiveness of the cream! Tips :  It is best to apply the night cream at least an hour before you go to sleep and should be left on for a minimum of eight hours. Night creams should be washed off in the morning and never use a night cream during the day. --- I've now been using it on a regular basis, and I feel refreshed as I wake up in the morning and of course with a glowing face, the day goes brighter!

5. Aloe Moisturizer from PLUM - If you know me well, you know that I hate to compromise when it comes to moisturizing my skin. I always have carried and still keep a moisturizer in my bag whenever I leave home! I just can't let it be, just doesn't happen, because I hate seeing skin scales emerging. I came across this brand called Plum Goodness recently and got this aloe vera day moisturizer for myself to try on because of its fragrance, to be specific! Its addictive. It is now for me the perfect day cream for dry and sensitive skin that keeps your face nourished, hydrated and most importantly, glowing! Completely free of silicones, petroleum products and colorants, filled with the goodness of organic aloe juice, vitamin E and relaxing natural oils. Use it on your face, or hands, or anywhere, this is the perfect pick if you're looking for a pure, everyday moisturizer for naturally radiant skin! Get yours from HERE.

Well, its a fact that using good daily skincare products in a routine can dramatically improve the look and feel of our skin. Just a few steps every day will take tired, dull, unhealthy skin to bright, fresh and glowing in no time. Plus, research shows that making the right skincare choices now can have an impact on the health and appearance of your skin in the long term! So a little effort every day means healthy, happy skin now, and in years to come. Follow my recommendations and I'm sure you'll start feeling the changes in your skin for better. And you can always thank me later! ;) 

Do let me know if you have any questions or suggestions in context to this post, I'll be more than happy to revert back!
