Nivea Hamper Winners

The Nivea giveaway winners are Nidhi and Gargi. Both have replied back and I am awaiting PR confirmation to forward your addresses to them. So, congrats girls!! The winners have been chosen using random.org and not on the basis of their answers. And, check out their best sun kissed moments:

"I love the sun as it brightens and refreshes you early in the morning...but my best moment where sun was a beauty guider was when we visited tiger hill in Darjeeling..we were waiting from before sunrise on this view point, it was so chilly..just as the sun rose it showed the tip of kanchenjungha, worlds third highest peak..what a beauty!!next it started lining the whole range of mountains with a golden border and the rays fell on the opposite range only to reveal mount everest...nature can be so dangerous yet beautiful!!!" - Gargi

"In sun, I can remember my last year's hiking in Bali and those wondrous days i spent on beach snorkeling and on water scooter. I was heavily tanned afterwards since no sunblock I have used has been absolutely water proof." - Nidhi

Me: Girls, I am dying to go to Darjeeling and Bali :) What fun you had Nidhi and Gargi, I am sure that was a breathtaking sight. Yes, you are so right about nature being beautiful. Going near to the majestic Himalayas is equally awe-inspiring and when I went to the Swiss Alps, I was just lost!! And, the worst irony of the story is that my hard disk crashed and I lost the snaps too *wailing*.

PS: Kritika, did you receive the AloeVeda hamper?? Do let me know. Pranali has already received it. And, sorry for no beauty post today as I am feeling damn lazy and in fact, I am not well :( And, life's changing too fast right now so I am trying to keep pace with it.

I Wonnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

Can you guys imagine??? Remember the Lakme contest (ok, sorry, I am not even able to type due to the adrenaline rush :D). Check the post here. I won an Amazon Kindle :D Yayyyyy, yipeeeeeeee!!! I don't know how to shout it out!!! Checked the winners list just now and I was like dumbfounded *grins*.

My mini-giveaway winner!!

So, finally, I stopped being lazy and here is the winner - Monisha Thampi :) Congratulations, Monisha and your name reminds me of Sarabhai vs Sarabhai :D I hope you received my mail and in case you didn't, feel free to contact me.  Do contact me by Friday night otherwise I will have to pick another winner!!

And, here is her beauty tip (or rather "are her beauty tips"):

1. To reduce Pimples: Apply fresh ginger juice on pimples for not more than 10 minutes and wash it off. Do it for 7 days and pimples will vanish. Don't apply near eyebrows. 

2. This one is a little interesting. I have a wider forehead. So I combed my hair sidewise so as to reduce its distance b/n eyebrows and head. And now I have those tiny weeny hair started growing from there and now i have a less wider forehead.

3. Fairness: Grind 3 almonds without skin like a paste and mix it with curd. Apply this mixture every night and wash it off just before going to bed. Use Besan or Gram flour instead of soap while you use this face pack. It gives an instant glow to your face and will lighten the skin if continuously done for a week.

4. Anti-Blemish: Take a thin slice of potato and rub on your face continuously. Do it for 5-10 minutes. Do it twice a day. You will see quick results.

5. Any natural treatments that are acidic in nature (eg: lemon, ginger, vinegar, orange, tomato, papaya) should be mixed with some besan, gram flour or honey to avoid over reaction.

6. Its a mail I got one day and try it out because it is amazing.Take a bunch of parsley leaves and wash it clean. Then cut it in small pieces and put it in a pot and pour clean water and boil it for ten minutes and let it cool down and then filter it and Drink one glass once a week. You will notice the difference which you never felt before. It cleanses your body like anything.

And, this is what she likes and hates about my blog:

"It is really a genuine blog. When I had the first look, I was really surprised as it had a lot of DIYs and natural beauty tips.The blog was very, very simple and had nothing which would suit for a beauty blog. Then I knew that this blog was solely concentrating on the matter it had and not on its looks. But now, the blog is far ahead of what i saw at first. I have been through most of your blog changes. But I think the new look is apt. The font is very simple. Now there are not so many natural tips like before. I would say the posts are now on advanced topics like Reviews, treatments, Perfumes :), Oils etc. I think your blog covers almost everything related to beauty. 
Do give more product reviews, Your take on different myths (which is my favorite), and more on hair growth recipes, Add more polls, Answers to reader's queries. I appreciate one fact of yours that you find time to respond to all your follower's queries. You browse and search a lot and give a complete note on any subject so that I did not have to search on the same topic more. I wanted to write down point by point, but it went on like that. All the wishes for your blog, Swati."

And, boy, doesn't she have patience?? She has answered both the questions so perseveringly, thank you so much for all your kind words :) Oh btw, in case any of you thinks, I have chosen her on the basis of the length of her answers, NO. Her entry popped up in random.org and I forgot to take the screen shot so please don't accuse me of being under-handed. I do think she deserves winning. I mean look at the tips, one could say she keeps a separate diary at her home :D Oh btw, absolutely agree with the wider forehead thing, Monisha. I too have a huge forehead plus less density at the crown really made me look a little weird but I got side bangs and now, it just looks awesome.  Btw, do we get parsley in India??? Will have to search for it. [Btw, guys, don't think I am boasting about my blog by putting up what she has so kindly mentioned above, its just too flattering to not share **giggles**]

PS: Anyways, I am so happy I am leaving for Delhi tomorrow. Btw, it's my mom's birthday so do fire up suggestions for the gift. I am hopeless at selecting gifts. Budget is 10k.
