Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Cherry On Top. In summers, the main concern for us ladies is what to wear, be it clothes or footwear. As far as my choices are concerned, I like to wear anything flowy and easy-breezy and for footwear, I like to wear my flip-flops only. Being a blogger (or even any working person), you don’t really have that luxury to wear your slippers. You have meetings, events, shoots and what not and you cannot wear a pair of slippers everywhere! So, I thought I should share a Guide to Day to Night Footwears for Summer. All the shoes shown in this post are from FSJ Shoes, an American online portal dedicated to only women’s footwear.

FSJ or Funny She Jill Shoes is a shoe brand, synchronized with international fashion, taking super fashion design as well as an attractive price. FSJ means extremely ‘Innovation’ or ‘Adventurous’, which symbolizes the modern women’s life characteristics of pursuit for fashion and vitality. We aim to help women realize their dream of fashion and pursuit of quality.

At FSJ, you can find the right pair of footwear for yourself, or you can create one. Yes, you heard me right. FSJ gives you the power to design your own footwear on their website! This is how-

Hello, all! This is probably the first time I am talking about intimate hygiene on my blog. I have done so many skincare and cosmetics review but this time I thought I should share something that has been a taboo for years. In 2019, still, there are women who shy away from talking about feminine issues like unpleasant vaginal odour or irritation in the pubic area and believe me that’s doing more harm than good! Today, I will be reviewing the Everteen Intimate Hygiene Wash and tell you why you should include this in your daily feminine hygiene routine.

Price- ₹180 (Buy Here)

Everteen Intimate Hygiene Wash Review | Cherry On Top

Product Description-

Everteen Natural Intimate Wash is scientifically designed to promote the body’s natural vaginal balance and maintain complete vaginal hygiene. It prevents unpleasant and unnatural odours, protects the natural pH balance of the vagina, relieves vaginal itching & burning.

  • Prevent unpleasant and unnatural odours: Unpleasant or bad smell from the vagina can be very embarrassing for you so much so that it may affect your intimacy with your partner. This fishy or foul smell can be frustrating sometime as it may leave you feeling unclean and gross as if everybody can smell it. Vaginal odour can be caused by a host of issues like pH balance disruptions or overgrowth of micro-organisms such as anaerobic bacteria or yeast. Everteen with the cleansing properties of its natural ingredients prevents unpleasant and unnatural vaginal odours so that you stay fresh and confidently clean all day.
  • Protect the natural pH balance of vagina: A normal vaginal pH balance of 3.5 to 4.5 is important for maintaining good vaginal hygiene. At this optimum pH level, your vagina contains a balance of necessary bacteria and some yeast cells. If the balance of bacteria is disturbed, this can lead to infection and inflammation resulting in itching, irritation and abnormal discharge. Everteen with the revitalizing properties helps in maintaining the optimum level of pH balance of your vagina.
  • Relieve vaginal itching & burning: Itching & irritation in an area as sensitive as vagina can be very uncomfortable & painful and it can affect your quality of life. Vaginal itching occurs when delicate vaginal tissues become sore, dry or itchy that is often caused by irritating substances, vaginal infections, or menopause. Everteen with its antibacterial and antifungal properties helps in preventing the infection and give you relief from consistent itching or burning in the vaginal area.

Ingredients of Everteen Natural Intimate Wash

The natural ingredients of Everteen have antibacterial and antifungal properties which help in reducing the infection and hence prevent vaginal odour and vaginal itching.

Ficus Glomerata:

Ficus glomerata is mentioned in all ancient scriptures of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy as a remedy for the vaginal disorder. The herb possesses potent inhibitory activity for more than six species of fungi (cause fungal infection) and antimicrobial properties which inhibits the growth of E-coli bacteria.

Butea Frondosa:

Also, know as Palash covers a broad spectrum of antibacterial and antifungal activity

Sphatika:

Know as alum, constrict blood vessels & delivers soothing and freshening effect.

Aloe Vera:

Promotes cell regeneration with anti-inflammatory & moisturizing actions.

My Experience with Everteen Intimate Hygiene Wash

Everteen Intimate Hygiene Wash Review | Cherry On Top

I have been using this product since I received it and I can only say that you must use it and see it for yourself. I am really impressed by the quality of the product for the price it retails for.

The flip-open cap ensures that the product stays untouched and hygienic. A little product goes a long way. A couple of drops lathers pretty well. A bottle would last you for 3-4 months (or more) if you use it every other day.

The fragrance of the product is very mild and fresh.

It thoroughly cleanses your lady parts, leaving a long-lasting fresh feel throughout the day.

The mild soap formula doesn’t cause irritation and prevents bad odours.

Its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal formulation, Everteen Intimate Hygiene Wash, prevents any type of vaginal infection and treats constant itching and burning sensation.

Overall, I think this is a decent product considering the price tag. It is absolutely safe to use. You must check it out yourself to know the benefits.

We are all pressed for time these days so shopping online makes our lives much easier. You can get virtually anything delivered to your door including jewellery. Whether you are treating yourself or getting someone a gift, you can find endless options online. You may even find better prices than those in your local stores. The only caveat is that you need to be careful. The best online jewellery store is not necessarily the most expensive but the one which offers value for money and excellent customer service.

Here are some of the rules you should follow when buying jewellery on the web.

1. Do Your Research

You will find an overwhelming number of options at varying price points and levels of quality. However, you won’t be able to see the piece in person to touch it. You will have to rely in large part on the retailer’s description. Once you find a piece you like, read up on some of the terms used to describe it. Look to a reputable source for information so you understand exactly what you should be getting. It’s easy to be impulsive when shopping online but you should take a step back and do your due diligence.

2. Look at the Pictures Closely

A single picture will grab your attention, but you need to look at all the available images before you hand over your credit card details. Don’t just look at one angle and decide to spend your hard-earned cash. In fact, you can even ask the seller to send you additional images if you need to see an angle that isn’t shown on the site. Examine the jewellery for damage or imperfections as well as maker’s marks and artist signatures.

5 Golden Rules for Buying Jewellery Online | Cherry On Top

3. Get Details on the Seller

You need to ensure you are buying from a reputable source. This is especially important if you are buying a very expensive item. Look at how long the retailer has been in business and whether they have good reviews. Check with agencies like the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any open complaints against the company. Also, take note of how the seller responds to your queries and whether they display professionalism. If you’re purchasing a piece of jewellery that doesn’t have a certification, the seller’s reputation is the only thing you have to go on.

4. Ask for Proof of Authenticity and Check the Return Policy

You need to ensure the jewellery you’re ordering is authentic. If you’re buying a 24-karat gold ring or a 925-sterling silver necklace, ask for the relevant documentation. If there are diamonds or rubies involved, get the details on them as well so you know exactly what you’re supposed to get. You should also find out about the store’s return policy in case you get the wrong product or it’s defective.

5. Make Sure the Shipment is Insured

You don’t expect your shipment to get lost, but it could happen. It could also get damaged. If you’ve ordered an engagement ring or another special piece for a loved one, this is the last thing you want to occur. Ensure the seller offers protection against such occurrences so you have peace of mind.

Buying jewellery online is about more than just getting the best price, although you need to know the market value of any piece you want to purchase. Take the time to research the type of jewellery you’re eyeing and get the scoop on the retailer before you commit. Follow these rules and you won’t regret your purchase.

Hello, everyone! I am back with yet another review. Today, I am going to review and swatch all three shades of the brand new Nivea Coloron Lip Crayons. Recently, Nivea has released its first affordable lip crayons range in India and they sent the entire collection that comprises of three shades of lip crayons to me to review and share with you guys. So, let’s start with the review-

Price- ₹299 for 3g

Nivea Coloron Lip Crayons Review and Swatches | Cherry On Top

Description-

The care of Nivea lip balm now with high colour coverage in the New Nivea Coloron Lip Crayons!

Get the perfect look with the new and unique formula enriched with natural oils. Delivering a long lasting colour effect, this lip balm will create the perfect balance of a soft touch and satin finish. Enjoy soft kissable lips wherever you are! This lip balm glides on evenly and easily for that flawless look with a creamy texture. #LoveYourLips!

Features-

  • Long-lasting moisture intense colour lip balm.
  • Unique moisturising formula instantly melts onto your lips and provides long-lasting moisture to give you soft kissable lips all day.
  • Creamy formula with natural oils and pro-vitamin E gives you a pleasant application.
  • Re-apply and layer it for maximum colour payoff.

They have 3 pretty, everyday shades in this range- Hot Pink, Pop Red and Coral Crush.

Nivea Coloron Lip Crayon Hot Pink-

Hot Pink is a bright fuschia pink with cool undertones that suits most Indian skin tones. The colour gives you a subtle hint of pink when applied to the lips so it is not an on-the-face hot pink unlike the name of this shade.

Nivea Coloron Lip Crayon Pop Red-

Pop Red is a bright red shade that can brighten up a dull day. I did not expect this shade to look this rich!

Nivea Coloron Lip Crayon Coral Crush-

Coral Crush is again a bright shade of coral/orange. I am not very fond of coral lip shades but the subtleness of this shade makes it one of my favourite everyday summer colour!

Ingredients- Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Olus Oil, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Candelilla Cera, Phytosteryl Oleate, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, C10-30 Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters, Cera Alba, Dibutyl Lauroyl Glutamide, Octyldodecanol, Helianthus Annuus Seed Cera, Persea Gratissima Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Bisabolol, Tocopherol, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-dit-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, BHT, Geraniol, Benzyl Alcohol, Linalool, Aroma, Alumina, CI 15850, CI 45380, CI 77891

Packaging-

Nivea Coloron Lip Crayons Review and Swatches | Cherry On Top

Nivea Coloron Lip Crayons come in regular plastic lip crayon packaging. It is a fat, twist-up pencil with a transparent lid. Although the tip of the crayon still remains outside even after twisting the crayon down till the end which can damage the tip if you are inattentive while putting the lid on. What I liked about their packaging is that each crayon is colour-coded and also the transparent lids make it easier for you to pick your desired colour in a hurry.

My Experience with Nivea Coloron Lip Crayons-

Nivea Coloron Lip Crayons Review and Swatches | Cherry On Top

If you are following me for a long time you’d know that I am obsessed with lip balms. I hate the feeling of chapped lips and I cannot step out of the house without moisturizing my lips. For daily use, I prefer tinted lip balms that protect my lips also give me some sort of colour to the lips. I cannot leave my house in bare lips. Mostly, I am into lipsticks but sometimes you just want to ditch the lipsticks and go for something natural-looking.

When I received the Nivea Coloron Lip Crayons, I was beyond happy because I found what I was looking for quite some time now. These crayons are insanely pigmented and oh-so hydrating. The longevity of these crayons is not very bad considering they are very soft and sheeny. The texture of these crayons is very smooth and creamy so that they don’t accentuate the creases on your lips. The crayons literally glide on your lips. You can lessen the shine by dabbing a tissue onto your lips or by applying some translucent powder on top. I like them as they are. These are also transferable. The colour fades to the edges after a meal, but they provide long-lasting moisture. Even after the colour is gone, your lips are hydrated. You can always reapply these whenever necessary.

Overall, these tinted lip balms are a must-try if you are looking for something like these within budget. I am very happy with the shades and the colour payoff. The moisture they provide is very satisfying.

Being a beauty blogger, I am always in search of new products to try out. For me, skincare has always been way more essential than makeup. I might now pick up the hottest lipstick or highlighter, but I’m always eager to explore new skincare launches. So, when I saw Nykaa came up with its own Korean sheet masks- Nykaa Skin Secrets Face Sheet Mask with some desi ingredients, I cannot hold my excitement. There was a two-for-two offer going on pre-ordering the sheets, so I got four of them. I am going to review the Gooseberry + Papaya for Nourished + Brightened Skin sheet mask today.

Being a beauty blogger, I am always looking for new skincare and makeup products to try and review on my blog for my readers. Recently, it has been 80% skincare and 20% makeup which I am really enjoying because as they say, the more flawless the canvas the prettier the painting (Ahem, I just invented it). Anyway, recently I saw some very interesting stuff launched by Nykaa. They launched their very own Nykaa Skin Secrets Face Sheet Masks. The sheet masks weren’t the interesting part but their desi ingredients were. I love how they have merged India and Korea in such a fancy way. All the ingredients used in these sheet masks are 100% originated from India and made to target specific skin concerns. Today, I am reviewing two of their 11 variants- Gooseberry+Papaya and Pear+Hyaluronic Acid

Price– ₹ 100 (Buy here)

Nykaa Skin Secrets Face Sheet Mask range is powered with two hero ingredients in each mask. They have launched a collection of total 11 sheet masks focusing on Indian skin and their problems.

Product Description

Carefully chosen, we bring you 11 variants that are specially made to target all your skin concerns. Tucked away in our grandma’s diaries, these ingredients are humble yet potent. Passed on from generations to generations, they have never ceased to mark their vitality even in the modern world. Now, we have brought to you the most-precious beauty secrets in the form of our Nykaa Skin Secrets sheet masks.

Why Nykaa Skin Secrets sheet mask?

  • Dual ingredients for dual benefits.
  • Exquisite Indian origin ingredients for maximum benefits.
  • Each variant caters directly to all targeted skin concerns.
  • Benefit-driven to ease the consumer purchase.

How to Use-

Unfold and lay over on clean and toned skin. Relax for 10-15 minutes. Remove the mask and gently pat the excess serum onto your skin, until fully absorbed. Massage for good blood circulation that results in a healthy glow.

My Experience with Nykaa Skin Secrets Face Sheet Mask Range-

Now, let me tell you what I honestly feel about this particular range of sheet masks.

Packaging- The packaging is very nicely and meticulously done. An image of the key ingredients of the corresponding masks is printed on the packaging itself. Also, the name of the ingredients and the effects of the mask is also written boldly on the pack. So, the user is completely aware of what they are putting on their face and there is no room for confusions.

Fitting- The fitting of these sheets masks is what makes it my favourite. The holes are made keeping Indian face shapes in mind. A difficulty that I face with most of the Korean sheet masks is that the holes for the eyes are not wide enough to fit me. But Nykaa’s sheet masks have bigger eye holes so that they fit people with bigger eyes.

Consistency of the Serum/Essence- I have never used a sheet mask before that doesn’t come with a thick, hard-to-absorb serum/essence. My experience with Nykaa Sheet Masks was outstanding because the Nykaa face sheet masks are soaked in a serum that is very lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin. The essence does not make my skin oily, it just adds the right amount of moisture.

The 11 variants of the Nykaa Face Sheet Masks are-

  1. Gooseberry + Papaya (for Nourished + Brightened skin)
  2. Almond + Yogurt (for Revitalized + Nourished skin)
  3. Tea Tree + Aloe Vera (for Clear + Moisturized skin)
  4. Black Mud + Aloe Vera (for Purified + Hydrated skin)
  5. Rice + Camelia (for Nourished + Radiant skin)
  6. Rose + Goat Milk (for Nourished + Radiant skin)
  7. Lemon + Honey (for Lightened + Glowing skin)
  8. Avocado + Moringa (for Nourished + Hydrated skin)
  9. Pearl + Hyaluronic Acid (for Firm + Brightened skin)
  10. Charcoal + Bamboo (for Purified + Nourished skin)
  11. Turmeric + Coconut (for Revitalized + Radiant skin)

I bought 4 from the list- #1, #7, #9 and #11. I will review #1 Gooseberry + Papaya Face Sheet Mask and #9 Pearl + Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask today.

Nykaa Skin Secrets Face Sheet Mask Review- Gooseberry+Papaya

Unmask for a Nourished and Brightened Skin.

Nykaa Skin Secrets Face Sheet Mask Gooseberry + Papaya Review | Cherry On Top

Benefits of Gooseberry- Gooseberry, popularly known as Amla in India, removes tan and lightens blemishes and acne scars.
Benefits of Papaya- Provides three-layer deep skin nourishment and a long-lasting glow.

Ingredients-

Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol, Betaine, Butylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract (1,000 ppm), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract (100 ppm), Sodium Hyaluronate, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.

Efficacy-

From my childhood, I have been told numerous benefits of natural ingredients by my mother. She is all about DIYs. I remember she used to make a papaya mask for face and an amla concoction for the hair. I have seen papaya doing wonders for my face. It adds a healthy, natural glow to your face instantly.

I think this particular mask is very average when it comes to the results. I have not seen any visible or drastic change in my skin except for it made it really nourished and clean in a way. I have not seen any of my spots getting faded or skin clarity. Maybe with regular use, it can work on that front.

Nykaa Skin Secrets Face Sheet Mask Review- Pearl+Hyaluronic Acid-

Unmask for a Firm and Brightened skin.

Nykaa Skin Secrets Face Sheet Mask Pearl+Hyaluronic Acid Review | Cherry On Top

Benefits of Pearl- Reduces melanin production to give fairer radiant skin.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid- Holds in hydration to increase the elasticity giving a firmer and younger-looking skin.

Ingredients-

Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol, Betaine, Butylene Glycol, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glyceryl Caprylate, Sodium Hyaluronate (25ppm), Ethylhexyglycerin, Xanthan Gum, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Pearl Extract (50 ppm), Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.

Efficacy-

Nykaa Skin Secrets Face Sheet Mask Pearl+Hyaluronic Acid does what it claims. I could feel my skin a bit firmer after the use. It might not make you fairer (because you know that’s not possible!) but definitely would brighten up your face a lot. The serum penetrates into the skin very quickly giving it the proper amount of hydration. This mask is a great option to get an instant pick-me-up before any party or occasion.


Overall, I loved both the masks for the instant glow that they provide. These masks are nothing extraordinary so don’t expect them to completely change your skincare game. These are only for ₹100 thus you can definitely give these a shot. There is a ‘buy 5 get 3 free‘ offer going on on these right now. So, it could be a great opportunity to stock them up or give them a try.

1. Laptop Cooling Pad-

A workaholic partner is likely to spend most of their time on their laptops and it’s quite obvious that their laptop would heat up and lose its lifespan. A very thoughtful and useful gift for those who spent most of the time on a laptop would be a Laptop Coolin Pad for sure.

My personal favourite site for cute and fun stationery/home decor is undoubtedly Propshop24.com. Most of my notebooks and planners are from there! Check out their stationery section here.

5. Smart Tracker-

Workaholic people are generally more likely to forget things. Sometimes, it results in a loss of valuables. Is there anything more thoughtful than gifting them a lost item tracker or a smart tracker? No is the answer! Moreover, you can opt for a premium gift to boost your employee motivation towards work.

Panasonic Seekit is such a Bluetooth and GPS-enabled tracking device which can be linked to your mobile through an app and sends you separation indication, voice alerts, proximity guidance, bi-directional tracking and much more when it senses a potential loss of your valuables. It also has a feature of ‘last seen location’ that you can track on your smartphone using the Seekit app. Isn’t it interesting?

As someone who loves birds, my constant endeavour has been to protect the avifauna by bringing birders and nature lovers together through social media. And the fact that I am a member of a bird-conservation community in my city, just adds to my effort. So, when the members of that community decided to visit the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary last winter and do a little research on the current status of migratory birds in India, it was obvious that I would never leave such a chance for such an adventure.

For those who are unaware, the Bharatpur Sanctuary has been renamed to Keoladeo National Park and is the country’s largest avifauna reserve. Situated in Agra, this is the second biggest highlight of the historic city after Taj Mahal.

Reaching Bharatpur

Equipped with our cameras, binoculars, and recorders (to record bird sounds and their calls), our group of 8 people headed to Agra on a cold January morning. It takes 1.5 hours to reach Bharatpur from Agra city. The best way to travel to Bharatpur is to book a taxi in Agra from a reputed service provider, especially if you are travelling during the winter holidays.

We reached Bharatpur and settled ourselves at the Bharatpur Forest Lodge. This is a convenient lodging option for birders since it is right inside the sanctuary, only 1.5 Km from the main safari section. Once inside the sanctuary, you can take a Jeep or Elephant Safari. But since we had to be awfully quiet and take a lot of photos and record sounds, we chose to explore on foot.

A day the sanctuary

Every year, as some of our group members mentioned, thousands of birds from Siberia, Central Asia, Mongolia, Europe and other colder regions in the northern hemisphere would come down to the warmer tropical mountains of north India and stay throughout the colder months. For over 200 years, Bharatpur has been witnessing the migration of more than 230 species of exotic avifauna but their number has reduced over the years, with lesser forested areas to nest in and too many tourists exploring these areas.

There is a concrete road that runs throughout the park and is mostly for vehicles, with nature trails on either side. The path we took on, cuts through small pockets of marshy lands where groups of painted storks were resting and feeding amidst the reeds. These black-necked birds are the quintessential members of this sanctuary and come every year to nest in the forests of Bharatpur.

A 10-minute walk further ahead led us a bunch of Kingfishers waiting for their catch, a few stray Siberian Rubythroats, Moorhens, and a couple of Herons wading through the muddy patch. My birder friends divided into two groups- one went towards the outer fringes and managed to spot the Greater Painted Snipe. And I with the group continued on our walk inside and noticed a peahen trying to perch on a tree. On hearing our footsteps on the dry leaves, the national bird flew away but managed to give us a long shot photo.

There were also one or two Flycatchers, Wagtails, and larks, lurking randomly around the forest. Once in few years, the forests of Bharatpur are replete rosy pelicans, different species of cranes, geese, ducks, warblers, eagles, pintails, darters, and more, and I promised myself to keep coming back until I see them all.

Birding tips:

To all fellow bird-lovers, here are few tips from our community for a successful tour of Bharatpur:

  • Get a good start and book a taxi with a trained driver from Agra to Bharatpur to avoid unnecessary hassle.
  • Opt for a stay closest to the sanctuary, so you cut down on travel (even if it’s walking) and have more frequent trips throughout the day.
  • Avoid taking the Jeep Safari, since vehicle sound can drive the birds away.

Hope to see your pictures from your next trip to Bharatpur.

I have been travelling a lot for the past couple of months. Be it long vacations or short trips, I am someone who enjoys train journeys more. If you are quite familiar with Indian train journeys then you know how hard it is to maintain hygiene while travelling. Thank God, I had the Himalaya PureHands hand sanitizers with me to save me from consuming bacterias and other germs.

Dirty hands can lead to a lot of diseases, especially related to stomach and intestines.  Hand sanitizers are a must-have whenever you are going out of your home. These are the best discovery ever!

Recently, I was sent 5 variants of the Himalaya PureHands Hand Sanitizers and today I am going to review the range for you.

Himalaya PureHands Hand Sanitizers Review | Cherry On Top

What it does:

The first of its kind, Himalaya’s PureHands is an effective, herbal, alcohol-based hand sanitizer, which kills 99.9% of germs, prevents infection, and ensures total hand hygiene.

PureHands contains extracts of herbs like Coriander, which have potent antimicrobial properties and Lime, which is a natural bactericidal. In addition, the active ingredients of Neem, which are antibacterial, fungicidal and antiviral, safely keep viruses, bacteria and fungi at bay.

Key ingredients:

  • Hrivera is a strongly aromatic herb, which has antibacterial, deodorizing and cooling properties. It also softens hands.
  • Coriander is derived from the oil of a herb called Oil Coriandrol. The fruits of the herb possess antimicrobial and astringent properties.
  • Lime is a rich source of vitamin C. It protects the skin from oxidative damage and helps prevent itching. The oil of lemon warms the skin when applied externally. The juice also has bactericidal and astringent properties.
  • Ushira is an astringent and antibacterial herb. When applied externally, it removes excess heat from the body and provides a cooling effect.
  • Neem extracts possess antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. The tree stem, root and bark have astringent, tonic and antiperiodic properties. Neem is used to treat skin diseases.

Directions for use:

Squeeze approximately 0.5 ml (coin-sized drop) of the gel on your palms. Rub well over the palms, back of hands, fingernails and grooves briskly, until dry. No water is required after use.

Price: ₹90 for 100ml

Variants: Himalaya PureHands sanitizers come in 5 fruity variants- green apple, litchi, strawberry, lemon and orange.

My Experience with Himalaya PureHands Hand Sanitizers

Himalaya PureHands Hand Sanitizers come in little 100ml plastic bottles with flip-open caps. The bottles are transparent so that you can keep a tab on how much product you’re left with. The labels are colour-coordinated with different variants. Overall, the packaging is pretty convenient and travel-friendly.

The 5 variants of the sanitizers smell very fruity like they are intended to do. The fragrances are a little bit on the stronger side in my opinion which is ok because it works well to get rid of any remaining smell of the food you’ve eaten. Among the five my most favourite is the Litchi one (the one I am using non-stop since I got them) and least favourite would be the Green Apple one.

The product has very thick, gel-like consistency so you need a very less amount to work on your palms. A drop is enough for me. Also, it absorbs quickly in your skin without making it dry despite containing alcohol. It doesn’t cause stickiness either.

I think the Himalaya PureHands sanitizers are priced at a decent rate for the quantity and quality. They are made of 100% natural ingredients which makes it safe to use on children* (*under adult supervision).

I highly recommend you guys to try them out!

Booking tickets to Canada can sometimes be very expensive. Since you desire to save every coin when travelling to exotic destinations like Canada, where you will definitely have the need for money, it is always a good thing to take advantage of every saving opportunity you get. Canada already helps you by not charging a lot for a visa, especially if you are from visa exempt countries, all you need to do is fill up the Canada ETA form and that’s as far as the visa. Below is a look at some of the tips you can employ when booking your air tickets so that you realize incredible savings on the same-:

Book early

Great Tips for Booking Cheap Flights to Canada | Cherry On Top

The first secret to getting cheap flights to any destination is to book early and this also applies when you are considering flying to Canada. If possible, check your schedule and once you ascertain the travel date, go get your air tickets immediately. Preferably, you should book at least one month to your travel date if you want to be a beneficiary of the low rates. If you wait till the last minute, there is no way you will be getting cheap tickets since the demand for them will be high, and the airlines know that this is the time they should be making a lot of money?

Set price alerts

The travel industry is such a massive one, and there are lots of technologies you can use to your advantage and for your convenience. When it comes to booking cheap flights, one of the best technology resources you have at your disposal is price alerts. As a person, it is nearly impossible to be calling airlines or visiting their websites every now and then to check if the rates have gone down. With price alerts, however, you will be informed every time the prices of tickets go down or they get into a range you are interested in. Whenever you get alerts for the price ranges you were looking forward to, don’t waste any minute. Grab your tickets and wait for the travel date.

Be flexible with your travel plans

Great Tips for Booking Cheap Flights to Canada | Cherry On Top

The other way you can use to get cheap tickets is not to be rigid with your travel plans. There are certain days of the wee when the air tickets are expensive because so many people are travelling and there are certain days when the rates are relatively low because there is a low number of people travelling. For example, you don’t always have to travel during the weekends or at the start of the week. Everyone is travelling at this time and the airline knows it. You will be very ambitious if you think you can get cheap tickets around these times. What you ought to do is plan your travel right in the middle of the week, on a Wednesday or a Thursday. Additionally, you don’t have to travel around major holidays. This is because most people will also be travelling and as the laws of supply and demand dictates, the rates will just have to go up.

Consider connecting flights

If you are not in any particular hurry to get to Canada, you can opt for connecting flights instead of taking non-stop flights. This is because connecting flights are relatively cheaper due to some of the subtle inconveniences they have compared to the direct flights. All you have to do is use the flight search engines to filter and compared the options and see which best options will help you save money. With this approach, you may give up some of your time, but if it can save you a couple of hundred dollars and you are not in a hurry to reach your destination, then you should just go for it.

Use multiple travel portals

Great Tips for Booking Cheap Flights to Canada | Cherry On Top

If you will be using travel portals, then you should consider using more than one portal. You should know that most of these portals are nothing but estimates, though they normally try to as correct as possible when they are doing the aggregation. Using just a single portal may not give you all the correct information about the tickets you are considering.

In case of a glitch or an error, you can rely on wrong information that might make you pay even more. But when you use multiple portals, you have a way to compare the results you are finding and you will also be in a better position to have a good grasp of where the rates are going, thus helping you be well equipped when it comes to making the final decision.

Check out for airline specials

Great Tips for Booking Cheap Flights to Canada | Cherry On Top

If you choose to wait and book on the final week of your trip, be sure to check out for airline specials. There are some occasions when you can land very good deals on the very last minutes with an airline. This is especially when they have lots of empty seats and there day is fast approaching. With such, you can be lucky to travel so cheaply. However, this is never a solid strategy because it depends on luck – you are hoping that not many people will buy the tickets. You may wait all that time and end up buying the tickets even more expensively. But you can give it a try if you have to wait until the very last minute to purchase your ticket.

Shop for flights incognito

While you are shopping for cheap flights, be smarter than the internet and shop incognito. This means that you browse when your browser is in private mode. The reason for this is so that your computer is not “cooked” by the sites you visit so that you can always see new price changes and not the same ones you had seen simply because the site you visited placed a cookie on your browser.

Don’t be afraid of package deals

Depending on how long or the nature of your business in Canada, strongly consider using package deals since they will not just help you save money on flights, but also on other aspects of your travels such as accommodation.
