This is a perfect 3D case for fashion loving girls. The lips on this case remind me of Kylie Jenner's lips..lol!! Now that her lips are in trend, this case has instantly grabbed my attention. I found this on amazon and luckily, the company was having a promotion and I got it for free to try out. It comes in three colors -- Yellow, White and Blue. I personally like yellow one and the white one. It is very soft and extremely stylish. I got many compliments on this case and all my friends were asking me where did i get this case?? So I am using this case..like almost everyday!! I am a person who frequently changes the phone cases but i am very much in love with it and so I am not using another. It is slim and is very durable. The quality is great and has a very rich finish. Thing is that everyone has an iphone but only few can make it pop and make it grab others' attention. If you are some one that wants to stand out and be unique, then this one is for you. 


 My another recent favorite iphone Accesory is this pink donut ear jack plug.. it is very lovely and matches my case!! They go well together. 

SWITCH TO A PAPER FREE KITCHEN AND SAVE YOUR MONEY



Switching to a paper free kitchen not only reduces the wastage, but also saves you a lot of money. Did you ever notice how many rolls of paper towels are getting used up in your kitchen in a month? Few months back, on one of my trips to Costco, a realization struck me and I asked myself a question.. Do I really need to spend my money on these paper towels every month?? The answer to my question is an obvious NO. We have several reusable options available for going paper free. Cloth napkins and microfiber towels can be good options to clean your kitchen instead of wasting ton of paper and also a lot of money. 


 Most of you may be thinking that using reusable cloths for cleaning purpose can be gross and time consuming. But the fact is that, if you stock up on the reusable cloths and maintain an adequate supply of them, your job is easy. I have bought a dozen microfiber towels and I usually keep the clean ones in one of my kitchen drawers. After using it, i throw it into the small bin I have kept under my sink for collecting the dirty cloths. On the weekends, I just toss all of the dirty cloths from the bin into the washer and do the laundry. Just simple as that. It doesn't take much of your time and doesn't require you to schedule any lengthy routines for their maintenance. Once cleaned, I just fold them and keep them in my kitchen drawer. Its been 1 year that I have gone paper free and I have saved a lot of money since then. They are very economical and reduce the wastage at the same time. You even don't have to invest a lot of money. You can buy them in bulk at Sams club or Costco. Another great place to find them is the yard sales, where you can find nice quality towels for cheap or sometimes, unused ones if you are lucky. You can also go to a fabric store, where they sell the cloth for a good price. Grab whatever length of cloth you want, cut it into required size and sew them on the sides to make them long lasting. There you are-- with a long lasting supply for cleaning your kitchen within a budget. 


 I personally prefer microfiber cloth towels to cloth napkins because they have good absorbing power comparitively and I find them to last longer. My favorite microfiber towels are from Luxe Home Essentials. I got a 3 pack dish towels from the company to test and I love their quality. Previously, I was using some cheap cloth napkins. They served my purpose of cleaning the kitchen but I found that these towels cut my kitchen cleaning time to half. They are highly absorbent, soft and durable. They instantly absorb any spills and they are great for drying the dishes. They are long towels and I use them to clean the counter tops too. They find use everywhere in the home, not just the kitchen. Each towel costs nearly 5$ but the quality is great and I recommend these to all those people looking for long lasting, super absorbent kitchen cleaning clothes. These are so soft to use too. It is definitely worth the purchase. I think that it is better to invest in one good quality towel paying 5$, which lasts longer than getting some cheap ones which don't absorb well and get spoiled easily--just a personal preference!!


 So, coming back to the topic, is it worth to replace your easy-to-use, disposable paper towels with the reusable kitchen towels?? In terms of money, I spend at least 10$ on paper towels every month. And for these clothes, when you consider long term use, I spend only a fraction of the money that I use to spend on paper towels..economical, isn't it??

Scars are common for all of us. Most of us get scars at any stage of our life and the good news is that they can be treated with appropriate care. If you prefer home made treatment for scars, apply honey on the scars. honey lightens and reduces the appearance of the scars. I have received a scar gel from Insta Naturals to test and review. I have been trying this for 3 weeks now and i have seen great improvement in the appearance of my scars. The scar gel is formulated with powerful ingredients which help in diminishing their appearance. Key Ingredients: + Epidermal Growth Factor + Sea Kelp Bioferment + Fucoxanthin + Astaxanthin + Green Tea + Gotu Kola Epidermal Growth Factor is a naturally occurring protein – which stimulates the healing process.

It provides intense moisturization to the skin and so the affected area becomes smooth and the cell renewel rate increases. fresh skin cells are produced, which means the appearance of the scar gradually diminishes. But remember that to see an improvement, you have to consistent with your use. It is an all natural product without any chemicals and that is what i love about it. A non toxic product that is highly effective!! The scar gradually mixes with your skin color and becomes less noticeable.
