Eat Healthy and Live Healthy

Summers are a very eventful part of the year in India. As soon as the summer vacation begins for kids our house is flooded with relatives and kids and the number of guests comes in multitude. I have always loved hosting guests and cooking being my passion I am always up for trying something new being complimented.

Now one big issue that may dampen ones spirit are kitchen pests as it is not just about cleanliness but also safety and hygiene. Mostly during summers, one may find cockroaches or some other pests slithering in some nook and corner or hidden in cylinder, sink, cracks, crevices or places which cannot be seen by the naked eye.They carry germs and bacteria, come behind the back, crawl on food and utensils, contaminate food and spread Food Poisoning Food poisoning is one of the biggest concerns and this always keeps running at the back of your mind is my Food safe. I was introduced to “LAL HIT” by one of my relatives and wow it has been super effective, I use it on a regular basis just few sprays around the kitchen and with its Deep Reach Nozzle one can reach out to the deep crevices or even the deepest part of your kitchen sink and water exits. It works wonders!! Ever since I have started using it not even a single cockroach escapes it and the best part is its fresh fragrance which refreshes your senses. This has become a part of my monthly kitchen cleaning. Let’s #SayNoToFoodPoisoning

Their previous box was skincare based and then they came up with haircare products and I am reviewing the haircare edition. This box helps to give you better idea of the products by trying their samples.

The box came with 5 great sample sized products from well known leading brands.

Inside the Box:

• The Nature's Co Rosemary Hibiscus Hair Mask
• OGX Shampoos and Conditioner

The Nature's Co Rosemary- Hibiscus Hair Mask- 

This product is great for preventing hair loss and damage. It has all the important ingredients which are really good for hair. The smell is not good but the end result is amazing.


OGX Shampoo and Conditioner: 

The box containes 2 sets of shampoo and conditioners. Organix shampoos are really good for hair but I found the sample to be very less. Two sachet of shampoos are not enough for a long hair like mine. You cannot actually test the shampoo in just one wash. 

Votre Rejuvenating Hair Oil With Rosemary: 

Votre is a well known brand and is loved by many people. It's really good to find such products in your subscription boxes. This brand never fails to impress me, it has all the essential ingredients required to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.

Batiste Instant Hair Refresh Dry Shampoo:

 This product has become a necessity for me in this busy schedule. It gives your hair an instant makeover whenever you are in a hurry.Just a quick spray of the dry shampoo will make your hair shine.

Balmain Hair Xpression Highlights: 

These are very convenient to use and you can add the streaks on your hair and get an all together different look. They are made of natural hair and can be styled accordingly. I have never tried hair extensions earlier so quite excited to try out this.The actual price is 1199 for this one set which is more than the price of the box. 


Overall I really liked the idea of this subscription box and very satisfied with the products given.The brand is very transparent about the products and the samples. You can try out the samples and see whether it suits you or not before spending huge amount on any particular product. The booklet has all the information about the products which helps you to get more idea about what you are using.
