Mischief , Marvels , Mutual bonding & Me !

They say that your enemy's enemy is your friend, but in my case my enemy's enemy turned out to be my BFF :D !
Friends since our both besties ditched us in our 5th grade ,the lonely and hurt love company right?
Together we nursed high school homework nightmares (Love you Namitha!) and heartbreaks and when life kept us apart, we promised to keep in touch. Further as life progressed, our lives filled up with favorite classes and bullying examinations, with so-so boyfriends and new friends, and we would go weeks without talking.But when we talk after months, our sweet memories flood up like warm spring flowers ...

Present….

It was a sunny day out , I had a lot of work on my hands, We were getting our house renovated.
Stacks of books and loads of stuff lay on the sofa.
I was all set to dust and pack the important stuff , to avoid getting them soaked in paint.
Wearing a cotton kurta and jeans , I started of with the cleaning.
It would take 3-4 hours to clear up the mess and pack everything in newspapers.
I was halfway through cleaning a few old books when I found myself smiling.
I had got my hands on my slam book I bought in 9th grade.Along with it was a diary I used to write when I was in school.A hobby I had left behind far away.
Pink in color , a little tattered at the ends, I clutched as if it were a very precious thing of mine, well it was!
After dusting it I started turning the pages. I observed my handwriting was straight and tiny ..
The content written was far more amusing..and then I couldn’t help myself. I started to laugh
As I turned pages memories of the past began to flicker in my mind in the form of images..
Aaaah what fun we had, being grounded , caught for our mischief, some I remembered I never wrote in this diary for the fear of being read by one of my siblings…
Few mischievous things which would be embarrassing once found out by someone other than my bestie…

History of the coming of ‘Trench coats’ :
The origin of this long, stylish, and warm coat dates back to the late 1800s when Thomas Burberry  developed the gabardine fabric which resisted water unlike any fabric before it.
The British Army were the first ones to wear these coats in the Boer War.
It was in the 1920’s , when the famous Burberry check, registered as a trademark, was first used to line trench coats - the lining of this coat is in cotton.

Ambi Pur: My refreshing home experience …

Bit of a more ‘unusual’ post now – something completely un-skin related! A home room spray – yes you heard me right!
I have always loved home sprays. They eliminate odor and trigger olfactive memories….ones that were created and ones that are yet to be created. Nothing can trigger my emotional buttons as intensely as fragrance.
Hence when Ambipur sent me a sample of of Ambi Pur air effects room refresher spray via Indiblogger, I could hardly wait to put a review about my experience with it.

The spray in Lavender Vanilla & comfort touched a raw visceral nerve within my psyche. It was simultaneously soothing and meditative, calming and exciting, gorgeously complex and extraordinarily simple . The AmbiPur spray in Vanilla variant is mystical !
The best thing is the packaging. So clean and neat. Just a single press and the beautiful fragrance whips out.
I fell in love with it at the first whiff ! It was a home spray I turned to time and time again just to whiff straight out of the bottle and it was as if I was smelling it for the very first time.
I played around with home spray when it arrived. I used it as a fragrance on my favorite clothes :P I’m so pleased with the looks, quality and fragrance of the spray. Whenever I spray this the fragrant scents of mist and snow run through my senses and when the ceiling fan is on, it wafts through the room.  Love it! 
Ambi Pur has taken great care in creating their fragrant, soft home range sprays and their attention to detail and quality are extraordinary. As soon as you walk into the room, the wonderful elegant smell hits you... It's light and refreshing.
Many of the other variants also seem to have good reviews when I checked on google in flexibility and variety.
I am sure  Not only would they ALL be fabulous spreading the happiness and fragrance at my home, but I think they would make beautiful gifts, as well. :)
I keep this on my bedside table and find on a warm day  a couple of spritzes of this is a lovely light fragrance that lasts all day. I also tried spraying it in my towel cupboard to keep it smelling fresh and have a good old spray around the whole house when inviting guests round.I even found it useful to eliminate odor from kitchen. I few whiffs on the walls of my kitchen and it smells just like comfort & lavender :) I even find this very relaxing to spray just before going to sleep – not sure if its meant to have that affect but it does for me.I use it even as a fragrance (Call me crazy). Yes I have come love them so much!
You can buy this over here and here. The price is around Rs 220/- . Its totally worth it for the price I say! The spray can almost last upto 3 months for me !
Recommended. As a home spray. Or fragrance. You choose.
The views and opinions expressed are wholly my own and based on my personal experience with the product.
