 What  Makes  Hair Serums saleable ?

Hair serums can be highly saleable for several reasons:

·  Frizz control and shine: One of the key selling points of hair serums is their ability to tame frizz and add shine to the hair. They create a glossy and polished look, which many people desire.

·  Heat and styling protection: Hair serums often provide a protective barrier against heat damage from styling tools such as straighteners or curling irons. This feature is particularly appealing to those who frequently use heat styling tools on their hair.

·  Smoothing and detangling: Hair serums can help to smooth the hair cuticle, making it easier to detangle and manage. This is especially beneficial for individuals with coarse, tangled, or unruly hair.

·  Hydration and nourishment: Many hair serums are formulated with ingredients that provide hydration and nourishment to the hair. These products can help combat dryness and improve the overall health and appearance of the hair.

·  Versatility and multi-functionality: Hair serums can serve multiple purposes. They can be used as a pre-styling treatment, a finishing product, or even as an overnight treatment. This versatility makes them attractive to consumers who want to simplify their hair care routine.

·  Scent and sensory experience: The fragrance and texture of a hair serum can greatly enhance the user experience. Pleasant scents and silky textures can contribute to the overall appeal of the product.

·  Efficacy and visible results: Customers are more likely to purchase a hair serum that delivers noticeable results. Effective serums that visibly improve the look and feel of the hair are more likely to gain a loyal customer base.

·  Marketing and branding: Effective marketing strategies, attractive packaging, and positive brand reputation can greatly impact the saleability of hair serums. Strong branding and positive customer reviews can build trust and influence purchase decisions.

At  the end  of  the  day  we  do know   that  each  of  us  as  a  consumer has unique preferences and hair typical   needs. It's crucial   for major vying  brands to cater to a variety of hair types and concerns to maximize the saleability of their hair serums.

How to care for your Skin"TIPS & IDEAS"


Caring for your skin is essential for maintaining its health and appearance. Here are some tips and ideas to help you take care of your skin:

 

  1. Cleanse: Start by cleansing your skin twice a day, in the morning and evening, using a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. This will remove dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.
  2. Moisturize: After cleansing, always moisturize your skin to keep it hydrated. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type and apply it in gentle upward strokes. This will help lock in moisture and prevent dryness.
  3. Protect from the sun: Sun protection is vital for preventing premature aging and reducing the risk of skin cancer. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and apply it generously to all exposed areas of your skin. Reapply every two hours, especially if you're spending time outdoors.
  4. Healthy diet and hydration: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can promote healthy skin. Also, make sure to drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within.
  5. Gentle exfoliation: Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover. However, be gentle and avoid over-exfoliating, as it can cause irritation and damage. Opt for a mild exfoliator and use it once or twice a week.
  6. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can have a negative impact on your skin's health and appearance. Both habits can lead to premature wrinkling, dullness, and dehydration. Quitting smoking and moderating alcohol intake can greatly benefit your skin.
  7. Get enough sleep: A good night's sleep is crucial for allowing your skin to repair and rejuvenate itself. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night to keep your skin looking refreshed and radiant.    Remember, consistency is key when it comes to skincare. Following these tips and ideas regularly will help you maintain healthy, glowing skin.

Simple Pleasures, Free for Takes

Simple Pleasures, Free for Takes


Pleasures are sought in various areas, sometimes even by paying a hefty sum. It all rests on the individual himself on how he /she seeks pleasure at leisure. Sometimes simple things that provide pleasure are overlooked in one’s haste to derive pleasure from other more expensive resources. Just a mere sight of a boat bobbing on the greenish blue waters, the sea gulls flocked together on the white foamy waves with a lone eagle in the sky eagerly seeking its prey can lift up one’s spirits and provide immense pleasure. These are landscapes which have no beginnings and no ends, they are visible to all as far as the eye can see, as they are painted by the Creator whose brush work soothes the eyes and relieves the minds of those who care to take time and look at the wonders of his creation. For those of us who are the observant type and can hold our attention patiently on a particular activity taking place can derive simple pleasures by just watching children at play. Apart from taking us on a journey back into our childhood, these little innocent angels can make us either laugh or go into deep introspection about a child’s nature and on how their minds work and perceive those around them, We can determine on who the leader of the group is and on how the others are taking to the task of being led. Dominance, subservience, timidity, team spirit is all at display for the patient observer. Seeing little kittens or puppies at play, frolicking atop the trees, indulging alongside to play hide and seek just like us the humans, occasionally being scolded by the mother cat when the play gets too exuberant is again a sight to behold. Many a times we find ourselves at a loss on not being able to decide what to do whenever we feel the need to be alone, bored with television, internet, reading etc. At times like this, just a leisurely walk around the house or by the beach or even on the street outside can provide one with simple pleasures, like the one’s mentioned above, the only thing required is an open mind for nature’s gifts, the rest is free. More simple pleasures arrive with the onset of Monsoons, when we soak ourselves in to the lush green landscapes dotted with colorful flora and fauna which is a sight to behold. The tiny rivulets of water , muddy puddles wherein the little ones let themselves go in gay abandon and set to sail dainty paper boats bringing about immense pleasures . Not to forget the child side of adults showing up when monsoons come when they feel overjoyed getting drenched is another form of simplest of simple pleasures that equates to none. Pleasures like these are for free, bestowed upon us humans by the Almighty, so let us make the most of them and thank him for his bounty.

The Essence of being a Woman


The Essence of being a Woman



 It’s rightly said that “The Hand that rocks the Cradle rules the World”. It is none  other than the hand of the  woman,  whatever role she may play in the family,  be it that of a mother, a wife, or a sister- and  of course  lest  forgotten  that  of  a  woman undeniably  the  one who also happens to  be a  birth giver, the divine nurturer, a caregiver, bringing  forth and  raising up. She is the one on to whom her parents depend for  understanding and succor in times of need, the one whom her spouse   depends on, to bring up their wards  morally, as well  spiritually  , on whose shoulder  rests, his   over  riveted   days  of    schedule, in  seeking relaxation  to    unwind  in to    leisure times   for  him  from his    hectic   grind    , and whose soft and soothing hands can magically ward off the tiredness off  his mind and aching body  and  soul . She is the one on to whom the children look up to; at all times.  Times   of sickness, it is the cool soothing touch of her hand on the fevered brow which the child feels in his state of delirium and sees his/her mother sit up to  it  , at all   odd hours of the day   or night till the monster of a ‘fever ‘resigns  to  the  motherly healing   touch,  that  is  when     she is   certain  that  the child is out of danger  and  living  day lights  will  shine  on  him  again. She is the one patient enough  sitting through the trials and tribulations of  each  hour   through  the  life  as  they grow  and enacts   as  a  fair referee to the children’s quarrels in the house.This quiet, compassionate, understanding, patient, forgiving and  epitome  of  sweet disposition  that is  a ‘ women’ have given us the best of doctors, nurses, teachers and various other professionals, not forgetting the woman who is a homemaker and a professional in her own right but who most of the time sadly goes unacknowledged.It is a point to wonder and ponder   as to whenever one gets to hear of the woman being as a member of the weaker sex and the ponderings lead one to conclude that it may be the physical strength of the woman that is alluded to, or may be in the olden times when most of the women were homemakers and did not have the earning capacity, they were stereotyped into the weaker sex mold. But in reality, when faced with the hard facts and truths of life it is mostly seen that the woman picks up the threads and continues weaving the tapestry she has to in order to give life the continuance required. As the saying goes “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going” aptly applies, for instance, in the case of children orphaned early in life, or whenever, unfortunately a family loses their mother; it is always the sister who voluntarily takes up the reins of holding the family together. A widow left hapless with a brood of children will see that she will leave no stone unturned to see that her children are fed, educated and brought up to the best of her ability. In the case of a divorce, there again one will find most women seeking custody of their children and taking the responsibility of their upbringing and education singlehandedly Women, can no longer be considered, belonging to the weaker sex, but are an epitome of strength, love, responsibility, loyalty, selflessness and other great virtues.  They are someone to look up to, idolize, cherish, and hold them in high esteem. They are the ones who  rock the cradle and bring about strong and healthy future leaders and keeping this in mind, we must  all strive to save the girl child by putting a stop to female infanticide, respect the modesty of women, give them their due respect in their homes and workplace, and strive to protect them curb  crimes  against  women make  our  world  a  safe  place  for  them ,so they beget healthy sons ,daughters ,fathers, mothers  wives sisters .........thus  making this world  a place to call our very own.                              By Maria Gorette Sequeira

Living by the Coastline


Living by the Coastline





As the first light of dawn slowly trickles through  the green hills, crossing over the lush verdant  fields, bringing in a soft bluish green hue to the still water of the lakes and ponds and finally meandering towards the coastline, one is clearly able to see around , the dewdrops glitter akin to  tiny beads of jewels on almost everything . At this blissful  time around  when  we   happen to traverse to the shore  where  the   sea  meets   coast   to   coast ,  finding  our feet in for a treat as the soft cool sand caresses the   tender   soles with  the urge to   wade  in and soak  all  that  feels   salty. The Gods of the Sea know  what  it  feels    , when  the   water wets  feet  ;  irresistibly wanting  you to immerse  your entire  self  to  feel the bountiful  nature   up  close  and  so  very  near. There is a sense of togetherness, a different hue painted to the sky shimmering itself in the cool calming still waters of the morning and the  soulful  sea. Fringing the beach & its surrounds one finds   the  coconut trees to be still with their majestic fronds awakening  motionless to the call of the morning breeze  so  pleasant  making  you  feel  God touched  his  Hand  unto  you . Eyes do  not  miss few of  those  birds  up and about, welcoming the morning sun and its  rays doing  peek-a-boo  through the lush fronds making their way to the cool sea water and there one sees the Almighty Creator dipping his brush into the palette; painting a bright yellowish tinge to the blue green waters of the bountiful Sea. The Sun is then slowly seen journeying skywards   making    the mist disappear with its brightness and warmth. Soft rays of the sun bathe  down the earth as  far  as  the  eyes  can  see  in  to the far horizon   transforming  the dark night into a beautiful sunny morning.

Allow your Gaze to travel back to the      shore   and  what  is  seen  is  the  traditional fishing activity carried on  by the fishing community, who  go about doing their job   joyously  with  bubbling energy either humming a song or whistling  merry  making tunes  reminiscent  of  the  folklores. The catch is heaved up, consigned to bamboo baskets readied for shipment to the market or the factories. The nets are freed of all sea clutter and spread to dry in the morning sun before they are ready once again for the next fishing activity ;maybe later in the day or the next day.


The Dewy haze  is  seen  clearing  far in the distance  and  one can see other fishing boats and mechanized canoes out like  dots on the horizon and the sea gulls swooshing   down  taking  low  flights  converging in groups bobbing on the white foaming   sea , their light wings fluttering as they  greet   crests of   waves  upon  waves . The gentle rays of the sun warm the skin and the cool fresh salty tang of the sea breeze vitalizes senses like no other making one feel fresh & rejuvenated and ready to face the day and whatever it upholds. Luckily coastline dwellers are indeed blessed as they can experience the cool dawn of a new day as well, the cool orange sunset of a lovely evening or even the early caress of the dusk .The sea at all times is a thing of beauty which indeed is a joy forever.
