Review - Huts and Looms, Sustainable and Pure Handwoven Saree

 I love wearing Indian ethnic wear on special occasions or festivals. A Saree is one of my favourite ethnic attire to wear during Puja or family get-togethers. Again in sarees, I have a soft corner for handloom sarees. The beauty and feel of these handwoven slow crafted  sarees are truly mesmerizing. It was Durga Puja time and Diwali is also approaching in few days, hence I thought to buy a beautiful handloom saree to celebrate all these festivals with extra joy.  Huts and Looms Tissue Silk Saree  In case you are wondering what a handloom saree is, then let me tell you in brief. Handlooms are basically handwoven fabrics made on a weaving machine called a loom. Hence, the name comes from HandLoom. It is a slow-crafted process, as it needs the utmost patience, creativity, and physical strength to create a masterpiece. Handloom sarees are generally priced because of this reason. I feel every woman looks graceful, powerful and amazing in a saree. Handloom sarees are repr...

Accepting The MABH Hair Growth Blogger Challenge...

Hello everyone.. Today's post is something different . Most of you must be aware of that challenge.. Before entering into the topic i will share something with you all. From my childhood I love long hair and i used to have also. But when I came to college/college life I found that I had already lost 50% of my hair... I have never used any hair styling product or colored  my hair.. I have tried so many hair oils, medicines to regrow my lost hair but nothing worked. Doctor said all that happened due weather change (my father has transferable job and we have move places..) , hormonal disturbance,etc. And after my marriage when i moved to Vadodara,my hairfall increases due the very hard water of Gujrat. And now after my delivery I am feeling more hair fall due to all hormonal changes ... (post-delivery hair fall is natural..it happens with everybody). At that time when Lancy the owner of MABH blog shared her hair growth story and decided to sell her secret hair oil,I was too excit...
