Fairness Creams, what would we do without them. And what would we do with them? hihi
This is yet another one of those random purchases when I thought maybe I need to do something about my complexion, like clear it up a bit.
It has the typical consistency and that shiny, thick feel that all of us know about from using Fair and Oh! So Lovely. It feels similar to that. Quite greasy. Maybe not as much as Fair and Lovely.

The company claims that the Ultrafair cream's ingredients do the following:

Kumkum and sandal - Natural melanin Disperser
Aloe Vera - moisturiser and protects skin from harmful rays of the sun
Akhrot - Nourishes the skin
Santra and Jasmine - removes blemishes
Turmeric and Rose - Improves complexion


 The cream in itself is a pale pink colour. Doesn't absorb into the skin quickly or at all. It stays put like a mask. Will serve it's purpose as a sun block, though.

The only thing I like about it is the smell, it's not that bad. Smells of roses and a strong sandalwood mixed with something that is almost musk. I don't mind the smell at all. I don't smell any jasmine or orange in it though the product claims to have it too. Lots of roses in here for sure.
But I can't stand the feel of it. It goes on greasy and becomes very dry, almost cakey if you put it on some really bad wrinkle. Looks very patchy and I would be caught dead trying to go out with something like this on my face. Would resemble a very pale ghost.

I did not like it's feel on my face so I never used it after the first trial. I use it now and then on my feet as feet tolerate things far better. As long as it's far, far away from my face :P
It hasn't lightened my feet even then, it may have moisturised it a tad.

Body aches and hurts. It's super lazy too. What am I doing to myself, I wonder as I await the honk of the car to take me to the gym. Am glad I am not doing this on my own, I have my best friend here to force me to get to the gym. I try to make all kinds of excuses. Where is the determination I had last night while I wrote that post? Should I laugh at myself?
No, I need to do this. It's a promise I have made to myself. I can't feel like the fat one every time I go shopping, for a dinner date, to a party or at work. I want to be the fit one.
Cheers to pushing myself today. Oh Boy! Fat burn here I come!!!
Have a beautiful day, you all :)

Year after year, I get frustrated on New year's eve when I can't fit into party dresses and stare at all the pretty gowns everyone gets to flaunt their beautiful figures in. Most of the time I was left feeling heavy, sad and down in the dumps. This year I decided enough is enough. I am going to take charge of my body and even though I love chocolates, pastries and fried food, I'll try my level best to curb my desires and work my way out of the rut I have been in. It's a promise to myself that if I do so, things will look better, if they don't , I will make it better. I have never promised myself anything like this before, I hope to succeed, I am determined to succeed.
    I was lucky to get a gym membership to a new spanky gym near home. Though it involved someone having to break their bank to get me in, I am making sure I don't miss a day of gym.
It's been just four days, out of which one day I couldn't breathe because I had over-exerted. Healthwise, things have not been looking up for a few years now, but today after my work out which lasted two hours. I really sweated it out, I finally started feeling good. It takes time to look good after so many years of abusing one's body but I am determined, I don't mind looking the way I do now because it's all going to change. It has to change.
   Also, I have realized that only if I can help myself can I help all those around me. To make someone else healthy and happy, we, ourselves have to be healthy and happy.
 The challege is huge for me but I am going to take baby steps. A little at a time. I already feel good. Today after my workout, I ate a good lunch at home and now as I write this, I am trying to fight off a mid-noon slump. I made myself a mug of coffee with reduced sugar but I still feel sleepy. I think I shall catch up on a tiny nap and then head out to the mall or something. I had a great day. Hope you all have a good one too. Be responsible for youself. Atleast, I am trying :)

Pinks, Bright reds, Corals are usually my colour of choice for nail paints. But once in a while I get an urge to try out something DARK or FUN. That's when I spotted this range of nail paints, they had totally cool colours. I picked up funky purple for myself. They will be available at local stores, you are not going to find them in department stores or at the mall. You will need to hunt them down in your market.

Nevertheless I skipped my way into their store and bought some stuff, just posted one of their t-shirts that I got. It was Rs.199 marked down 60%, which means I had to shell out just 80 bucks!!! Can you beat that? The T- shirt material is good too, it's not too thin unlike most t-shirts in the ladies section these days that are being manufactured. Heavy weights like me end up having bulges that look quite unsightly from the rear end. I like thicker material, they last longer and are more decent when you wear them. The extra cheese cake you gorged on won't show! :P
So do take some time out to try out stuff as most of it's going cheap. Also rein in your wallets and choose only what you need. I have a tendency to break my bank when I read the word SALE.
