Self Love :)

                                                  

Do you think you’re fat, dark, ugly, good for nothing or the worst person who has ever existed? Do you think you’re not worth love and that nobody loves you or will love you?

You are not alone.

In a day & age where nothing is ever good enough; fast enough; advanced enough or perfect enough, it's extremely hard to accept and acknowledge that who you are - inside & out - right now, is the best version of yourself that you can be. And that that person is amazing, worthy of love, care and respect..

In this world, being able to love who you are is tough. Many times, society ingrains in us a sense of never being good enough and that the only way to be great is to be like everyone else.

There have been times I’ve hated the way I looked, the way I acted, the person I thought I was - I've spent years criticising myself due to this imaginary idea of perfection. An idea implanted and passed down by the media, editing software’s and peer pressure. 

Yesterday was one of those days.

Just then I came across this quote on We Heart It:

I think it’s so breathtakingly beautiful and true.

Life is entirely too short to hate the skin you're in. To feel bound by non-existent rules and ideals. It's time to love yourself, be kind to yourself and to shine from the inside out. Never be afraid to be who you are. Embrace your quirks, flaws and all. Without them, you're just another copy and paste. Without them, you wouldn't be YOU, and there's far more value in that then you realise. Be your own superhero. Make your rules. BE YOURSELF. There's no-one else like you on this planet we call home and that in itself is a truly awesome thing. 

Let’s face the facts and realize that we are not perfect. No one is perfect! And that is definitely something to be celebrated! As hard as you try, you can never be perfect. And I personally think that that is awesome! Imperfection is pure beauty. Why would you want to change that? So love who you are and every flaw that comes with you!

Here are a few other quotes I love :

Of Wants and Worries ...

What happens when someone worries? Basically, they think of 100 reasons why something might go wrong. And all of those thoughts then struggle to become things, sometimes overriding their more constructive thoughts. Ain't pretty. But that's the power of worry. Now, let's say you want something fantastic to manifest in your life. Have you sat down yet and listed 100 reasons why it might come to you easily, fast, and harmoniously?  I think you should :) Today works,     - A note from the Universe. Until Next Time, Alisha. ❤️

VOTRE Microdermabrasion Gel Review

Hello Girlies,

 I’ve planned on reviewing the Products I Love and I promise that all the products that I review will be my honest thoughts about the product, based on my personal experiences.

I’m going to start by reviewing The VOTRE Microdermabrasion Gel.

For those who don’t know, Microdermabrasion is a light, non-surgical procedure that physically exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells from your epidermis. It helps with tone, texture, fine lines, wrinkles, acne and acne scarring. The treatment leaves your skin instantly smoother. By gently exfoliating the epidermis, microdermabrasion increases cellular turnover, along with improving the appearance of sun damage.

I am a Final Year student, living in Mumbai, travelling in a local train to get to college. And for those who read my blog will know that I also work for Redbull after college hours. My point being, I’m out all day, travelling in the heat and pollution. And I honestly feel terrible that my skin has to deal with it. Blahh. I do go for regular cleanups, but I honestly do not have the time anymore.

BUT ... Tadaaa ....

So, I got The VOTRE Microdermabrasion Gel in my July Fab Bag, AND I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE IT.

To start with, VOTRE is PETA Certified and claims to be a brand that offers 100% Botanical, Vegan and cruelty free products.

So, all the products of VOTRE are completely natural and formulated with rare and precious ingredients like vegetable, plant and marine complexes.

That said... Let’s get on with it. 

So, this lil transparent Jar, claims to accelerate cell renewal.

It is like a scrub with very micro particles. The gel is light and the granules are very fine. It spreads easily and is very easy to use. It also washes off easily and leaves skin non-greasy and glowing! LIKE A POLISHED GLOW!!

I honestly feel that the product is super powerful and in just one use my face feels soft. (As soft as a baby’s Bum. :P )

DIRECTIONS FOR USE : 

Cleanse skin thoroughly before application. Skin should be left damp. Apply modest amount to skin, massaging in upward circular motion for up to 2 minutes. Adjust pressure of massage according to skin type and degree of sensitivity. Always avoid any contact with the eyes. Rinse completely with tepid water, making certain to remove all traces of Gel.

See that you don’t keep it for too long or else, slight pink skin tone and tingling sensation is possible.

USES OF MICRODERMABRASION GEL :

• Improve age spots and black heads.
• Improve hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin).
• Exfoliate your skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance.
• Lessen the appearance of stretch marks.
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
• Reduce or eliminate enlarged pores.
• Treat acne and the scars left by acne

PROS :

·         ❤️ Gentle on skin.

·         ❤️ The granules are fine & work fabulously without being harsh on the skin.

·        ❤️  Easy to use.

CONS :

·        ❤️ It’s Expensive. ( Rs. 810 for am 1.40 Oz Jar )

·        ❤️ For some reason I feel like it smells like Fevicol. 

·        ❤️ Only available online.

That’s all about it. 

Do let me know if you guys have any queries regarding the product, I will surely answer them if I can.

I hope you liked my review and found it helpful.

Until next time,

Alisha

Being a Redbull Girl ...

'Wiiings Team Members' they call us. The face of the Brand we are :)

Promotions are not all that we do,

We know everything there is to know...
about the drink, as well as the Brand as a whole. 

❤️

I still remember The Test Flight Day ( recruitment ) The anxiety and anxiousness. 

That urge for getting in but the doubt that I may not. 

I did get in. 

With Kristen, my lovely. 

My life seemed complete,

Coz, that's all I wanted. 

❤️

As months passed,

This company, This job sunk in. 

The other girls working with me were like family. 

The 6 hour shifts,

The long gossip sessions. 

The search for offices or colleges,

The joy of returning with 0 returned cans. 

Were treasured and looked forward to. 

The pride of carrying the most desired bag,

And the pleasure of being the only one allowed to wear the Redbull Branding or Driving the Mini Cooper cannot be explained. 

❤️

The happiness of seeing someone buy a can,

The pride after a successful Redbull Event. 

The Natural hatred towards other energy drinks

And people addressing you as a Redbull Girl, more than your name,

Will always be little WTM things. 

The endless Music festivals I've attended,

The awesome people I've met,

The places I've been to,

Would never be possible without Redbull. 

❤️

The Love Hate Relationship with the boss,

The awaited monthly meetings,

The friendships that we've made ...

Will continue forever. 

This job has taught me patience, kindness ❤️

It has taught me to be punctual ❤️

And the art of functioning as a team ❤️

It has taught me to never take no as an answer ❤️

It has taught me to stand for what I feel is right ❤️

It has taught me to answer the most foolish questions with great confidence ❤️

And most of all ... It has taught me to always put up a smile :)

It's been 3 years since the interview day now ...

There have surely been ups and downs. 

Several reasons to leave. 

Many more to stay. 

This company has taught me... Never to give up and to always make your way. 

❤️

And so, my journey continues without the one I first started it with.

Carol, Meghana, Saloni and Kristen, thank you for this beautiful Redbull journey that you guys have given me. 

I really wish y'all didn't have to leave. 

Working here is incomplete without y'all. 

But the Memories will last forever.

I Love you girlies :') 

Forever and For Always. 

Alisha. 

❤️

Picture Review : March

March has been a lil less hectic than the other two months but it was crazy for sure. Exaaaams !!! Final Semester. And like all of you know,no one really studies during study leave we are all busy doing ‘this’.

This is how march was to me :

 I met school best friend after years and we sat and spoke for hours. About everything !! All the we missed out on, spoke about all the shit that we used to do and of course about how much we missed each other.

            STUDY LEAVE !!! So many notes all over the place. Sorting them out took a whole day.

  I'm now interning with DDB Mudra in the Marketing team as A Student Brand Director. :)

 Pre Exam gifts are always the best !!! If you guy haven't had the dessert jars from LSD. Y'all must !! This is The Red Velvet Cheese Cupcake in a jar. 

 It is almost a tradition now. I click selfies when I'm bored. So, that's exactly what I did.

                                         HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAREST MAMA !!!

                                                   Post Exam Chilling sessions !!!!

 I visited Pune for the 1st time and I loved it. The place, The people and Everything about it. Except the Heat. haha.

                                              This is what I wore the day I went clubbing.

 The Beef Burger at Burger King in Pune is Insane. It was bigger than my face and so filling. I spent an hour having only one half and another hour staring at the other half. It's impossible to finish. I could'nt.

 Then, It was this Manaics Birthday !!! No pictures to show. ''Coz, we aint got no time for that'' haha. It was too much fun.

                                          Chilled with this pretty lady a lil too much.

                                             My stay at Pune just kept extending.

So yes, Overall it was an amazing month and my Exams were also really good. Cannot wait for the results now :)

Have a nice day,

xoxo

Alisha
