A lady's got a say!

Hi there, Let me tell you what you will find in this blog. You will find reviews or rather my experiences with products and services I use, food I eat, shops I visit and places I stay.  So you could ask me, what's different about your blog from the many other blogs floating around in blog-galaxy. Well, I'll give you just this one instance, when I bought this expensive tiffin box worth Rs.3000/- and didn't have a great experience with it. Around the same time I found a few bloggers raving about the same leaky tiffin box. Most reviews these days we find on online shopping sites are paid for. I want to create a space where I plan to keep my feedback short, simple and honest.  That's all this is. A simple, honest blog.  *My thanks to the photographer of this lovely picture and Pixels.

The website advertised, among other features, leak-proof lids and that clinched the deal to buy the heavily expensive tyffyn box. The tyffyn box was delivered on time and the copper finish was pretty! The bag that comes along with the tyffyn box can be unzipped into a mat, and space has been thoughtfully provided to keep your spoon/fork.  My husband carried his brand new tyffyn to work, and later at lunch to his dismay, he found that the contents had leaked out of the supposedly leak proof container lids. What was intended to be a luxurious experience from a tyffyn box turned out to be a messy affair. After having spent about 3000 rupees for a tyffyn box I was miffed and wrote an email to the Vaya team. They responded saying that, only t...

Ah ! The monsoons are here... time to enjoy the rains and all the beauty that it brings. The rains and the change in season also bring in the sniffles. I picked up a few balms last December from a rustic looking shop in the Nilgiris. They have quite a few fragrances, and I bought the Camphor and Eucalyptus since I am prone to catching a cold. I have been using them since then and I must admit I have become kinda addicted to them. They are mild, non-sticky and smell natural, and I have to practice great self restraint to not open the lid now and then and take a sniff of the Eucalyptus balm. I prefer to use these to the popular brands sold over the counter in pharmacies. They come in pretty boxes with gold coloured lids and look pretty fancy for a balm! The listed Ingredients are beeswax, olive oil, essence. The price of a 20gm bottle is Rs.130/- and the shelf life is 2 years. The above opinion is purely a product of my brain, my genetic material, my life experiences ...
