I can’t say no to organic skin care products, so when I got an invitation to visit a new organic brand Botanic Love at Navya Decor Store, Lodhi Road, Delhi, I just had to go. The day was kind of hot and humid but taking metro from Gurgaon MG road to Jor Bagh, Delhi made it bearable. Following the google maps I reached at Navya, 33, Meharchand Market, Lodhi Road. Meharchand is quite an old market which has all type of shops, small to big, and you can find everything here. I did not have time to explore the market, so I straight went into the store Navya – Everything Beautiful. There I was greeted by the store owner Vimi Singh, the face behind Botanic Love- Tina, her friend & the brand’s marketing personnel – Swati & beautiful free lance journalist Garima Dutt who invited me to the event. The warm welcome made me feel like home. The store is a cozy place in the basement of 33. Once you enter the store, you find your self surrounded with everything beauty. The place is loaded with beautiful decor items, ranging from coasters to show pieces, random knick-knack to beautiful tin boxes, magazine holders to cake holders… everything under one roof. I have something for cute pots. The place has an amazing range. Coming to Botanic Love, is a brainchild of Tina. It’s an outcome of the pure love for organic ingredients that Tina has in her heart. She is a passionate person. She used to make handmade candles, slowly her passion grew and she started making soap bars for her kids to give them all natural love. She perused Cosmetology for the sole purpose of giving shape to her dream products. She told me about her struggle to procure raw material to manufacture quality products and later to get certified by the ministry of AYUSH. I am glad that she did not give up during her struggling days and she is here with 60 products that are chemical free, organic, vegan & cruelty free. There are ZERO parabenes or preservatives. I was actually amazed how come the products have such a long shelf life (about 2 years) if there are no preservative? Tina says she goes the natural way to keep the products fresh for long. She uses natural preservatives, plus for the packaging, glass containers are preferred so that the products inside the containers do not react with the plastic packaging which other brands opt for to cut the cost. Very thoughtful, I must say. The brand has every thing for everyone addressing all skin and hair problems. The brand offers a nice range of anti acne, anti pigmentation, anti ageing, anti hair fall creams, masks, scrubs, oils etc. My skin is in bad soup right now. Some recent medication has been playing a havoc on my skin. Tina invited me to get a soothing session for my skin. She used only two products on my skin, Botanic Love Rosemary Facial Gel and Botanic Love Acne & Blemish Mask. She also advised me to use the same combination for few days to control the situation. I was really happy to see the after effects, my skin really calmed down and was all glowy. Grabbed the duo without hesitation. Yummy cake and tea was served while I was still chatting with Tina. The day came to an end and I was presented a beautiful gift hamper that contained cute little things from both the brands – Navya & Botanic Love. Thank you Navya & Botanic Love for having me there, it was really nice meeting you all and being there was quite an experience in itself. Much Love.

I have crossed the age of having a crush on someone. Maybe my heart is all filled with love for the one. No space left for a cute face. But those memories are never going to fade… the memories that are occupied with my crush list, a lot of nick named guys. I remember the feeling of butterflies fluttering in my stomach after seeing a cute guy. The butterflies would flutter even more when I see him checking me out… !!! Crush… is a like a drug. I had had a lot of them. I was kind of crushaholic – someone who could easily develop a crush for someone… I was a good student and later a hard working employee, but having a crush is like to de-stress. When you like someone, your body produces happy hormones, so you are de-stressed. Loosing yourself in the smile of someone, while you might not even know his name. Loosing yourself in the aura of someone, who might not even be aware of the fluttering butterflies in your stomach. I remember after befriending with most of my crushes, the magic really poofed away. They rather became sluggish, boring or stupid for me. I would be like, ‘seriously him!!!’ But some of them turned out to be good friends in long term. We would laugh over the mutual feeling we used to have for each other. I would be really surprised to know how they perceived me to be arrogant while I was just a shy girl. If you are still in those beautiful days of developing easy crushes, I would advise you to enjoy it as long as you can. It is a nice confidence booster. It really helps to shake off any kind of stress you have. Moreover it gives you a reason to attend your boring classes or working on a monotonous project at work place. Don’t try and ruin your crush unless you are sure of converting it into a relationship. Impulse actions certainly leads to awkwardness. You might not want that. Specially if you are at your work, it’s important to have boundaries or this might cost you your job. Out of all these crushes, The celebrity crushes are here to stay. I adore Keanu Reeves for the human being he is. He keeps on amazing us with his wonderful charity works and charismatic cinema appearances. I wish he never stops acting. P.S. – I wanted to keep it a bit light today since a lot of serious stuff was happening over the blog. Would you like to share your crush story? How many crushes do you remember? Share here… Love…
