Life's beautiful journey becomes Twice as Nice and all the more worthwhile with your Buddy by your Side: Introducing a similar Twice as Nice Range by Garnier

A Warm Greeting Straight from the Heart Dear Frens!

Life's beautiful journey becomes all the more worthwhile when you have lovely friends to walk with you...I am one of those lucky fews who has been bestowed with many trustworthy buddies whether in my personal life or professionally...And I love it especially when my friend complements me in skills and personality, as that adds spice and variety to life, even an work <3

One such worthy companion of mine is my Fellow-Blogger Geeta who is actually a Food blogger and Social Worker whose blog "Food Express from Chennai" complements my Blog "Straight From The Heart" about Inspiration, Poetry, Fashion and Beauty....Our Association is #twiceasnice because while we love each other's work, we are also the best critics of each other...We truly believe that a true friend never shies away from showing mirror to us when required :)
Together we rock the Blogging Events and undoubtedly our outputs improve when we include the fun element in our work together....We love our rare combination and are proud to be the adorable Twice as Nice....

I was reminded of our lovely Jodi when my eyes fell upon the new Garnier Combo of "Garnier Pure Active Apricot Exfoliating Face Scrub and Garnier Pure Active Neem Purifying Facewash" and I was at once driven into trying out this, what seemed a perfect Skin-Care Regime...Below is my review of the combo:

 1.Skin Cleanliness and Glow : I firstly gently scrubbed my skin with the Garnier Pure Active Apricot Scrub gently and subtly in circular motions for about 2 mins and than used Garnier pure Active Neem Face Wash,I felt my skin really clean and soft....Following this routine for around a month has help me replenish my lost glow to a certain extent...

2. Skin Smoothness and Clarity: Using this worthy combination has opened my skin pores and cleared away all dead cells...My skin now feels smoother and Clearer even after hours of washing my face...I feel that using them at separate hours is not that as effective as using them together...Like our friendship, this combo too is twice as nice and rare and worthy...

3. Dirt and Oil Removal : Being a working woman who commutes 3-4 hrs in a day, the pollution and stress has taken a toll on my skin and as the day advances, it showed up as oil and dirt on my skin..but using "Garnier Pure Active Apricot Exfoliating Face Scrub and Garnier Pure Active Neem Purifying Facewash" has reduced this problem of mine manifold and this shall be the main reason why I will continue to use this Awesome Wowsome Combo....

4. Effect on Pimples and Marks: Though I don't have a face studded with pimples all over, I do have the tendency of having 1 or 2 pimples popping up on my face here and there often...which irritated me beyond doubt...thankfully adding these Garnier products to my beauty regime, this popping -hopping of undesirable pimples have reduced considerably.


5. Aesthetics and Affordability : The Lovely Combo has adorable complimentary looks in Orange and Green and catch your attention in the first Glimpse and impart a very refreshing feel..The Garnier Apricot Scrub are optimally priced at INR 115 and Garnier Neem Facewash at Rs 90..so the combo comes at around 200 INR which is decent and affordable as far as it's benefits are concerned.

Overall, I rate this #TwiceasNice Combo a good 4 on 5...Straight From the Heart <3

   

Adding Lustre to my Life by Adding Lustre to my Hair: "Garnier Fructis Happy Hair Challenge"

Hey Sweets!

Tonnes of love to you for giving my blog buckets full of love...I will always yearn my heart out to bring to you the best and like I promised, something that truly deserves an expression Straight From the heart <3

It means a lot to me to have these candid heart-to-heart conversations with you through a new blog post almost everyday...Today I have chosen to speak to you about an awesome Garnier Triple Nutrition's Happy Hair Challenge which I have taken up recently....

The reason is simple....My hair journey has almost been like the famous O.Henry tale - "Two Gifts" where the lovely damsel Rapunzel's biggest asset her knee long admirable hair were reduced to shoulder steps like mine...except for the difference that she had sold them to buy a gift for her beloved while I have slowly lost their lustre and quality to growing stress ...Feels really bad, from being mamma's princess with ravishing hair that even passersby gazed at in admiration, today I  have lost the quantity as well as quality to be termed a gal of average hair :(....Isn't that too early in start thirties for me...

I have actually taken them too much for granted until recently when I realized they seriously need my attention and dedicated hair care now...I now realize how mamma use to oil and massage them one night in advance before washing them off with Garner Fructic Shampoo, the green bottle, all of us can easily recall....Gazing at my lustreless lifeless tresses today, I decided to go back to mommy's trust...Incidentally this is when I also came across the Garnier Triple Nutrition Hair Challenge....I immediately realized this could be a life-saviour for me so have taken it up proudly....because for me lovely silky hair are an essential part of one's persona....

Current Condition of my Hair and my concerns I wish to address: My biggest concern at the moment is my hair are dull and lack the silk softness and lustre which they once boasted of..I don't have split ends or hairfall  but my hair growth is slow which is extremely worrying as I love to change my hair styles quite frequently...I want my hair to gain back the sheen and length and thickness...

Another reason of trusting Garnier over other brands was my earlier experience with Garnier products like Garnier Pure Active Neem which has reduced my pimples considerably...You may read the my review of this product here: http://trulyyoursroma.blogspot.in/2015/01/my-story-from-painful-pimples-to.html

So I hold the Garnier Products high up in my eyes....

I now trust, it is time for my favorite Brand Garnier's Hair Care products to impart life to my lustre-less hair and I really look forward to some wonderful results through this worthy challenge....

As a part of Garnier Triple Nutrition's Happy Hair Challenge, I have self-evaluated the current state of my hair in a consolidated checklist...post which I will be testing the the two awesome Garnier hair Care Products - over a 30 days span again ...First before use for certain basic parameters and than after...The two products Garnier Triple Nutrition Shampoo and Garnier Triple Nutrition Conditioner are already in my hands and here's my Prima-Facie evaluation of the two :

1.Aesthetics: I rate it 10/10 for the ergonomically designed fluorescent orange bottles catch your attention at the very first glance. 

2. Fragrance: as I opened the bottles I was greeted with the same awesomely freshening smell that I have known for years....and like I have always said for all Garnier products, it 's smell makes  me feel like a fish relaxing in its pure habitat in a hot afternoon....I love it, it is neither mild nor strong...extremely soothing...

3. Packaging:  Since the lids are of flip flop design, there must be a seal or sticker on the product to be removed by the end customer, to prevent any abuse or leakage issues during logistics...

4. Viscosity: Both the shampoo n conditioner are viscous enough for us to be able to hold on our palms and not flow out from the sides when we rub them once between our palms before applying on our hair....very meticulously tested...thanks to the passionate R&D Team...

5. Advice n Instructions: The directions to use as well as the ingredients are legibly printed on the bottles which is right in the sense that some people may be allergic to certain substances...My earnest advice to all 

6. Cost: Last but not the least, is the price of the product which definitely has a good say when we choose a product and in my opinion at INR 135 each they make an excellent value for money products...

So dearies this was my first hand evaluation of what seems to me an excellent product combination....in my next post on the same topic in 30 days from now, I will be expressing straight from the heart my views on the quality of the products as well as how long they go in imparting life to my lustre-less hair and made them happy...
