26 Favorites of 2012

2012  has ended very badly, not just for me but for the entire country. I'm still trembling from the horrific incident that took place in my own city where I USED TO roam around freely. I'm scared now. Its high time the Indian government takes steps to ensure women's safety in public spaces. In 2013 we can just hope that, the brave girl's death would not go in vain and she and countless other victims like her would get justice.

I wanna shake this fear off and to distract myself I have finally decided to write about anything but THAT. It was a mixed year for me, tablespoons of good and teaspoons of bad. So here I am, penning down some of my favorite stuff from last year..just a quick walk through memory lane (sort of ;) )

Marshmallows

Does the title remind you of pink & white rubbery sweet stuff that Sheldon (from Big Bang Theory) puts in his Cocoa or what people in Hollywood movies roast in bonfires?..Hhaha *evil smile* its not that !..Ok that was a little sadistic but seriously I've had marshmallows and frankly i think its the girliest food ever ! :))

BUT..this post is NOT about marshmallows..Atleast not the ones that we eat. Its about Marshmallows the flowers..!!..* yes even i din't know there was a flower called Marshmallow..!! *

ANYWAY

Recently, around 10 days back,  I bought a day cream from The Nature's Co called marshmallow. I had read many posts by fellow bloggers about their products and was curious to try some for myself. So i logged on to their website HERE and explored away !

Since I have dry skin issues and wanted a non greasy day cream with SPF i found this one in their Atmospure Range perfect. It doesn't talk about SPF in the pic above but the SA convinced me that it does have.. so I'm hoping !

Now what i like about this cream?

• non greasy
• GOOD moisturizing ability..lasts ALL day..
• smells AWESOME
• cute packaging
• no breakouts on sensitive skin..atleast not till now

What i don't like?

• The price ( I got it for INR 625)

 Since it moisturizes pretty well I use it on alternate days. I like how fresh my skin looks after applying it..and for hours ! I would totally recommend it if you have dry skin. Although it claims its for all skin types I feel it might not suit someone with combination or oily skin.

Now although I haven't been asked by any PR representative to talk niceties about this company..I still will. As you know lately my posts have been about being Eco-friendly. Thus, in that respect The Nature's Co totally lives up to its name. Not only are all the products made from natural products & are vegan, they also contain no Parabens  and are not tested on animals. AND the packaging materials used are  recyclable and biodegradable...how great is that !..Love nature?..YES they do !

Plus they are very Eco-friendly in their sales approach as well. If you buy the products from the stores, you will get a cute little jute carry bag and also a soft copy of the bill would be sent to you encouraging you NOT to print it..!.. I think its pretty great :) their store in Delhi is in Select Citywalk and you can also check them out in the link given above !

Enjoy 

Happy Shopping !

P.S. : visit their stores on Wednesdays they have discounts ! (shh..) ;)
