Epilation To The Rescue...

As ladies, we need to take care of a gamut of things. More often than not, we forget to take care of ourselves. We need to pamper ourselves after all, but keep consoling ourselves with one or the other excuses.

Women are largely subjected to body shaming. I feel it extends beyond just weight issues. Body hair on women is also looked at critically. 

While it may be a routine at regular intervals during the year to visit your trusted parlor for pampering yourself, admit it, ladies - it becomes a pain in the nippy winter chill. Moreover, body hair does add to the warmth factor along with the layers of fuzzy clothing. 

Convenience is the key in such chilly weather and what better than to ditch the tedious waxing and harsh creams and resort to epilation instead? 

Braun, which is a subsidiary of P&G (Procter & Gamble)  develops and manufactures a wide variety of small domestic appliances that feature technical innovation, reliable quality, and distinctive design. From electric shavers and beauty products to hair care appliances, Braun has held on to a strong consumer base. 

Well, if you haven't tried epilation ever, go ahead and dare to ditch that wax once (and for all, maybe). For Braun promises its consumers. an experience of beautifully smooth, silky skin that they won’t be able to let go of. 

Go on a date with your skin. And, that has to be baby soft skin at that. Epilation unveils smooth skin like you haven’t  experienced since pre-puberty - all at the press of a button. You would want to constantly feel super-smooth, round the clock. :)

There are no in-between days. Epilation catches hold of the most minute body hair, 0.5mm to be precise. That leaves waxing far behind because epilation gets smooth work done, minus the regrowth period, or the price tag, or the mess. 

That coveted smooth feeling lasts long, longer than the one waxing provides you with. Next time when your girlfriends gape at your smooth skin with gasps of a shock coming your way, reply with the name of your beloved epilator - Braun Silk-épil  9 SkinSpa 2-in-1 - instead of that monthly salon appointment, that you've already ditched when they ask your secret. ;)

What could be better than getting quality results from the comfort of your home? Only fuss free, quick,  and easy hair removal, with the expectation of lighter and less noticeable hair regrowth with continued use. 

Finally, you would be able to afford the expenses that would otherwise take a back seat, thanks to the fact that epilation equates to ZERO salon trips, hence a win-win situation. :)

The weather gods are the only ones influencing your outfit choice and not your grooming (or lack of!). 

Epilation makes you gain, WITHOUT pain. Braun Silk-épil epilators have a clever massage attachment for gentler epilation, and you can totally epilate in the bath or shower too. Warm water equals relaxed and soothed skin, which in turn means less discomfort for you! Epilation is now virtually painless. There’s no turning back, ever. :)

Get ready to greet head-to-toe satin skin as Braun's epilators are beauty multi-taskers that are here to stay in your 'pamper thy self' army. 

With two speed modes available,  it's been crafted for women to select between speed 1 for extra gentle epilation and speed 2 for extra efficient epilation. Simply switch on, hold at a 90-degree angle to the body part you’re  epilating, slowly glide against the direction of the hair growth and voila, fuzz-free skin in an instant! :)

It appeals to Queen Bee inside each of us women who likes to stay in control of her appearance at all times. Braun epilators guarantee thorough hair removal and prevent pesky ingrown hairs, thanks to their sophisticated design. Braun Silk-épil  9 SkinSpa 2-in-1 includes Braun’s  most efficient epilator to date alongside two exfoliation brushes - including the new Deep Exfoliation  Brush which provides six times better exfoliation compared to a manual exfoliation scrub alone. 

Thanks to the convenience that tags along with epilation, say hello to the welcome confidence boost and that accompanying spring-in-your-step your significant other notices almost instantly. :)

Moreover, among all the women, Jessica Alba is the one rooting for effective epilation with Braun. Who could be more gorgeous than her to idolize when it comes to satin-smooth skin?

Pamper Them From Within...

Tiny tots are true bundles of joy. They are the ones who light up our world, and the entire notion of not letting the child within oneself die is rephrased for life, after one embraces parenthood.

Quite naturally, the first emotion which a newborn evokes is that of protectiveness. Given that such skin is at the paramount of gentleness, fragility and delicate being at first touch, one can't help but admire and at the same time, be taken aback by the painstaking amount of caution that would go into realizing that such skin would be Supple, Subtle, Yet Susceptible.

Being a first-time mother back in the 90s, I too learnt the ropes gradually. It wasn't an easy task at first, but the patience has been worth it. After all, if motherhood had to be easy, it wouldn't begin with labor! :)

I've now come to realize that apart from some physical commodities and noticeable measures to shield a newborn's or toddler's skin, there's a lot which could work wonders from behind the scenes. However, these valuable insights often go unnoticed or are neglected more often as an oversight.

These five values could very well imbibe the essence of being #SoftestForBabySkin too, for they would not only keep the baby's skin soft but also aid them in the long run as an individual on the path of life. :)

 ~~~ 

Truth and Fairness: To lead life in a clear manner, there needs to be a substantial amount of truth and fairness around. It creates a cloud of positivism around. These positive vibes in turn simulate a certain cheer in and around the whole family to establish harmony amongst each other. The same is definitely going to impact a baby empathetically and will help in keeping their soft skin healthy.

Family Values and Bonding: The inculcation of family values, must be dealt with, on a priority basis. It is not only about enhancing the learnings of the baby who needs love and care but also about being upheld at home in a universal manner.
Some things in life are not to be announced or told as and when they happen; some emotions reflect everywhere. That is applicable in this case when the values and bonding are something which reflect in your actions, talks, behavior, words, looks, body language and almost everything you do. It is difficult to hide from oneself, let alone others, and it is more difficult to disguise.
You must not act irresponsibly with such a crucial matter as familial bonding as your baby's soft heart, body, skin and mind are definitely going to be impacted by, and derive a lot of energy from it to stay healthy.

Respect: Respect has to be maintained in voice and words - for others and for oneself too. What you speak and how you speak is very important. Both are significant because if you speak well but fail in selecting good words at the very instance they need to be said, it would be of no use. Similarly if you are brimming with great ideas and words at one instance in time but are not able to express them in front of others, it would weigh down on manifesting your opinionated self.
Harshness in the vocable would lead to your child adopting 'like-for-like' attitude as a child's mind and mannerisms parallel moulding clay. They would then pick up such harshness as they would believe that it is a way of life. Gentleness in spoken word however, would go into making your child gracefully express themselves, in accordance with the need of the situation always.

Space: Everyone needs space in life. You need to be generous in providing space to one another in the family. With toddlers, it is the first and foremost prerequisite because if absent, it would lead to irritability which would take on a toll on your child's health. You wouldn't want that to be the case, would you?

Wisdom: Let wisdom speak in your personal and professional life spheres. Wisdom gained from the many experiences you have had, as a mature adult is a treasure that needs to be preserved. Never let your wisdom go away. It is a keepsake which needs to be passed on, in the form of anecdotes to the young children in the family to enable them to face any situation in life with poise.

New Delhi

It has been just three days that Poonam has returned from attending the launch of #SoftestForBabySkin. Well, I know because I read it on her blog. Didn't I?

And, I am green with envy. Because, she didn't take me with her. Leave alone me accompanying her, she's enjoying with another one here. 

Well, she's cuddling this excited individual here, but once she was back, she was with me. She had attended that event for me. While she then became occupied by the formalities associated with attending the event, like exploring the Goodie Bag she had received and recalling to jot down the exact proceedings of the evening, I was busy thinking to myself - 'This #SoftestForBabySkin Diaper is not the ONLY commodity you'd require to keep my soft skin safe'. 

Well, I kept it to myself initially, but now, I can't contain it anymore. Who better than me to counsel you on the other essential pointers to keep soft skin safe, dear Poonam? 

I am crawling to you. Just wait! 

Of course, it's me. After all, my skin is a valuable treasure. Alas, it is supple, subtle, yet susceptible. To counter that susceptibility, you would want to pair these five pointers with your preferred Pampers Premium Care Pants (which you had reviewed too) without a doubt. :) 

I am a pampered child. Yes, it has been so since the start. I do not complain, but I'm going to convey my cheat-sheet to protect my skin by the means of one-lined quotations. 

That's because I want you too, to guess what facet of baby-care it could point toward. Of course, I'd be elucidating each one's detail so that I am taken care of, properly and skin is able to retain its suppleness and softness and negate the susceptibility!

~~~

A Clean Home Is A Happy Home: A clean home is important. A clean environment is also critical for the same purpose. Every touch that comes my way should not only be gentle but also be antiseptic in nature, thoroughly sanitized. Well, I'm akin to being carried around in gentle arms or being seated on a warm lap, so you must ensure that you should also be neatly dressed. 

I Choose To Be Happy Today: Happiness around me with cheerful faces emanates a positive impact to my activity and keeps me joyous round the clock. There is a psychological impact which scores high on the list, to ensure my healthy growth. 

If there is a gloomy atmosphere around me, I apologize to remark that I would be better off with such a negative impact masking my positive energies. 

Well, with a child as cheerful as myself, it should not be such a herculean task for you to be your cheerful best, should it?

A Big No To Gloominess!
Keep me away from it, please.

Green Is My Favorite Color: This isn't because I was envious previously. I was born in nature's lap and would like to marvel at nature's each realm by being as close-knit to it, as possible. 

I would thus encourage the use of as many green products as possible. All commodities of daily use, be it edible or non-edible need to be liberated of chemicals and all synthetic products that could lead to life-threatening consequences in the long run or even otherwise need to be kept at bay. 

My milk bottle should be sterilized before every use, with the obvious pre-requisite that it had been procured from a reliable, known and quality source in the first place. The milk must be pasteurized, and that goes without saying, too. 

Green, leafy vegetables need to be washed and cleaned properly before preparation. I would not want to feed on dust and germs masked as food, even when I grow up. Similar precautionary measures follow for all such products present in the house, coming into my direct or even indirect contact. 

Nothing Is So Strong As True Gentleness: All-cloth towels are what I prefer. As soft as possible is how I prefer them to be. Synthetic clothes may have catastrophic consequences towards my soft skin. 

Similarly, oils and soaps that are used to tend to me are required to be chemical-free. No harsh or strong product should be applied to my susceptible skin. The products must be bought from a known and reliable source. You must try your best to examine thoroughly the 'Tests Approved & Certified' claims before procuring such products for me. 

There are plenty of manipulative sellers in the market who sell artificial products at a subsidized cost. Never allow yourself to be trapped by such lucrative but risky offers. Such offers might lead to serious repercussions later. You must not prefer saving some pennies in the first go but think wisely and consider my life which would be at stake afterward. An initial saving of a few pennies might lead up to huge spendings at a later stage in my life.

When Words Fail, Music Speaks: While I'm still at my baby-babbling, gurgling, and cheeky best, music serves as my best accomplice! Neither too loud nor too harsh melodies sooth my mind and calm my thoughts. Ensure to play soft music at a low volume to pep up the mood for me. I would then be at my active best. 

Keep observing the kinds of tunes and rhythms I tend to like more and that which evokes me into a playful mood.  For some time,  keep aside your preferences and match my beat as I dance to my tunes. My reactions to certain actions of yours would provide you with ample pointers, provided you are a keen observer. :) 

~~~

You could take my word for it, Poonam. Such a balanced environment would ensure the best conditions for me to play, laugh, learn and grow up perfectly. 

Your protectiveness would provide me with the perfect opportunities to be at ease with myself and the people around me.

Premium Care Pampers Your Child...

What?

Launch of Pampers Premium Care Pants, in association with BlogAdda.

When?

Tuesday, September 22.

Where?

Vivanta By Taj, New Delhi.

The bygone Tuesday afternoon was set to be all happy, bubbly and cheerful thanks to joyful babies welcoming Parent Bloggers to the #SoftestForBabySkin event.

Well, who could possibly deny being present to witness such a cute setup for themselves?

Probably none. Not me atleast. That's why you would have found me attending the launch that day and are now busy reading about the same here. :)

I keep highlighting my punctual self every now and then, because you see even Team BlogAdda cannot refrain themselves from praising the punctuality which I abide by.

They tweeted to me, this picture, saying:

"These beautiful ladies have already arrived for @pampersindia meet #SoftestForBabySkin meet @VivantabyTaj"

 ~~~ 

It was not long before we welcomed the ladies who led the discussion for the afternoon. 

Stepping up on the dais to focus our attention to the '5 Star Skin Protection' being provided by Pampers' latest offering were: 

• Actress & Celebrity Mum, Tara Sharma 
• Child Sleep Specialist, Ajita Gopal Seethepalli 
• Pampers R&D Expert - Europe, Middle East, Africa - Dr. Wei Sing Long 
• Actress & TV Presenter, Mandira Bedi 

Being keen and curious Mommy Bloggers in a majority in the house, we were led on to the hands-on demonstrations to witness the genuineness of Pampers Care. 

Ajita shared her view on the importance of a good diaper as thus:

“The importance of a good diaper (in terms of softness, dryness and fit) should not be underestimated. Babies have to be physically interacting with their environment in order to learn and understand it. Diapering baby in soft and dry pants like Pampers Premium Care can be a great way to help enable undistracted exploration, giving him the giggling feeling of freedom you both love.”

Tara and Mandira, both being devoted mums to their kids, shared anecdotes from their learning experiences as mothers. 

Dr. Long highlighted the five-star Skin Protection factors which lent uniqueness to Premium Care Pants. 

The five-star Skin Protection being emphasised was: 

• All Around Fit
• All Around Softness with waistband and cuffs, for a comfortable, snug fit, minimizing leakage
• Breathable Materials, specially chosen with delicate little bottoms in mind 
• Up To 12 Hours Of Dryness - Pampers core quickly absorbs helping keep wetness away from the skin to help skin protection
• Baby Lotion, to help protect the baby’s precious skin

In addition to these, Pampers Premium Care Pants also possess a Wetness Indicator that turns from yellow to blue when in contact with the fluid to help parents know when it might be time to change. 

Tara was quick to demonstrate the Baby Lotion which protected the delicate baby bottom, keeping it rash and irritation-free.

The blue patches indicated the areas which would develop a rash owing to the fact that the lotion was absent in those localities.

Dr. Long demonstrated the Gel-Lock Technology being put to the test in Pampers' newest product and left all us Mommy Bloggers amazed too. 

The last feature to be demonstrated was that of the provision for easy and hassle-free disposal.

Before wrapping up with my attendance at the lovely event, I made sure to step on to the dais too. With those chubby babies of course! 

And, I ended up being filmed, speaking succinctly, of my experience with #SoftestForBabySkin too. 

~~~ 

Not to forget also, the indulgent Goodie Bag offered to me by RewardMe and P&G and the all-smiles snaps with the members of the Panel, as a cherry on the cake. :) 

 ~~~ 

All's well that ends well, but this isn't the end. Read my review of the Pampers Premium Care Pants presented to me here. :)
