We dare you to make the switch and see for yourself. Warning,  side effects  include  experiencing non-stop beautifully smooth, silky skin that you won’t be able to keep your hands off!

01. It’s addictive

02.There are no in-between days

Yup, you heard right. It catches even the teeny weeny hairs. 0.5mm to be precise.  That’s 4 x shorter  than waxing  – without the regrowth period, or the price tag, or the mess.





03.It’s long lasting

That coveted smoooooth feeling genuinely  lasts, seriously. Cue gasps of shock  from your girlfriends when they have a feel of your smooth skin 4 weeks1 on, and you reply with the name of your beloved epilator  - Braun Silk-épil  9 SkinSpa2 – in lieu of
your monthly salon appointment when they ask your secret.




04. Get quality results from the comfort of your home

There are no cons, only fuss free, quick  and easy hair removal  - and even better,  you can expect lighter and less noticeable hair regrowth with continued use. We’re SOLD.



05. Helps you become more financially savvy

All the money you’ve  saved from cancelling regular waxing  appointments can be spent saving for your future…  or that dress you were lusting  after; or that lipstick, or that handbag… The moral of the story
is: the cost of 1 x epilator  means you need 0 x salon waxing  appointments = more money for you at the end of each month, without compromising on smoothness or convenience. #Winning




06. Wardrobe forecast is smooth legs & body with a chance of [sunshine / rain / wind].

The elements  are the only thing informing your outfit  choice  and not your grooming (or lack of!).



07.In terms of pain, epilation really isn’t that bad at all.

In fact, 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 = relaxed and soothed skin = less discomfort for you! As a total pro, epilation is now virtually painless = you’re totally hooked  and there’s no turning back, ever. #teamepilation



08. It’s not just for your legs.

Oh no. It’s a hard working beauty multi-tasker3 that every woman  needs in her grooming arsenal. It can also be used on underarms, arms, face and the bikini area.3  Hello head-to-toe satin skin!



09. It’s suitable for all women and all skin types 

That’s right sensitive  types, this is user friendly  for you, too! With two speed modes  available,  it’s been crafted for women  to select from 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 et voila, fuzz-free  skin in an instant!



10. It appeals to the woman inside each of us

Who likes to stay in control of her appearance at all times. It’s guaranteed thorough hair removal  and prevents pesky ingrown hairs, thanks to its sophisticated design. Braun Silk-épil  9 SkinSpa2 includes Braun’s  most efficient epilator4 to date alongside two exfoliation brushes - including the NEW Deep Exfoliation  Brush which provides 6x5 better exfoliation vs. a manual exfoliation scrub alone. One word.  Sweeeeet.



11. It’s a hair removal device +confidence booster in one

You’re able to have beautifully smooth, silky skin at the press of a button - with long lasting results and importantly, when it suits you. Hello confidence boost and that accompanying spring-in-your-step your sister / BFF / boyfriend / Mum has noticed.



12. It’s Jessica Alba’s chosen method of hair removal

And hey, you’re  tight (code for you’ve  read an amazing beauty interview with her and know she’s pro-epilation). If it’s good enough for Jessica’s pins, then it’s good enough for you!

#colgatemagicalstories

Hey Everyone,
Last weekend, I sat down and decided to do some cleaning and organize things that were lying around here and there. I realized there were a lot of things and the task would be tedious and time consuming. Also, everyone in the family had gone out to visit a relative. The only other person in the house was my 8 year old niece. While I was thinking, what to do, where to start, she was busy playing some game on my mobile phone. With the pile of work in front of me, I really didn’t want to do it. But, that was not an option. So I asked my niece if she would like to help me. She gave me a dismissing look and did not say anything. “I will take you out for ice cream once we finish this” I said. Nobody says no to ice cream. Not the kids and not the adults. She quickly asked, “Promise?”
“Yes promise” I said hurriedly. An extra set of hands, even though tiny were better than having nothing.
“What do you want me to do?” came a quick question. “Nothing much. Just keep things where ever I tell you to. Also, would you like to make labels as we organize thing?” I said, quickly passing on the markers and blank labels to her. “I will eat two ice creams of my choice for this much work”, she said. “Drama queen” I nodded affirmatively.
And we began with the work. I must admit my niece though very young is smart and a very good assist too. We found so many things during the cleaning. Old photographs, my tazzo set that I had collected by purchasing the Cheetos snack that tasted horrible, old board games that were so much fun during the afternoons of summer vacations, some of my school notebooks and certificates and trophies won by me. She was listening to all my stories and also telling me similar stories about her vacations, school and friends. That is when we came across a certificate and a felicitation photograph. It was for my first ever win. A story telling competition conducted in school. I was in Jr. Kg and the story that I chose was – Fox and the grapes. It was nostalgic. Even today I feel really happy and proud for that one. It takes me back to how I practiced for a week with actions and everything to win this one. When I told her this, she said “Maasi same pinch. I win the story telling competition in school every year” “Oh yes, I remember your Mom telling us this” “But ours is a little different.” She said. “How?” I asked.
She explained that instead of telling them to prepare in advance, their school gives them a setup and a list of character and they have to weave a story around it. Impromptu. That really is interesting. But can kids these young really come with stories in a short time? I asked her to tell me one of hers. And then she told me about the one she told in last year’s competition. And trust me it was beautiful. Kids really are very talented these day!

With a similar concept Colgate Strong Teeth has come up with 4 packs that have interesting sea creatures & some trivia inside them. Kids can cut, play & learn and do the story telling by weaving their imagination together.

How important it is for children to catch up on lost growth | Horlicks Growth+

Hey Everyone

Hope you are having a great weekend. I have been really tied up with work these days and hardly find any time to do anything :/

 Last Sunday, I was at my Aunt’s place. That is when I met Prathamesh. He is her house help’s kid. A very naughty and active child, running all around the house. Playing with him, I did not realize how 3 hours passed. It was only when we were both called to eat lunch did I realize how we ourselves become kids with a child around. And with all the running and playing I was actually looking forward to a hearty lunch. A lovely spread of a variety of delicacies. I took a little of everything. But when I see Prathamesh’s plate, it just had steamed rice with very little dal. I was astonished and asked his Mom why he would just eat daal rice with so many yummy options on the table. That is when she said he is a very picky eater. He eats very few things. Even for school lunch he only takes bread and jam. And that is when it striked to me. School lunch? Is he a school going kid? Doesn’t really look a day over than two and a half years. What shocked me even more is that he is around 4 years. How can a child look half is actual age. He is really lagging behind in both height and weight. And that is not a hereditary issue. Both his mother and father are of average body structure.

That is when I did some research and found out that there are many other kids like Prathamesh who are lagging behind in their body growth due to several reasons. And the regular diet is not enough for them. They need additional supplements. One such nutrition product that I came across is Horlicks Growth+

Horlicks Growth+ is a specialized nutrition product designed by international pediatric experts for children in age group of 3-9 years who are lagging behind in height and weight. It contains high quality whey protein with added nutrients that are known to enable children to catch up on lost growth. It has been clinically proven for visible growth in children in 6 months.

But when going for additional supplements for kids starting something you found over the internet is not wise. So I suggested she visit a pediatrician. She asked me I could accompany her. I agreed and we called up for an appointment with their pediatrician in the evening. We spoke to her in the evening. I shared what I had read on the internet. The doctor then explained the reasons and solutions to us. Also, she said there is no harm in starting with Horlicks Growth+

On our way back home, we bought Horlicks Growth+ and she has already started it for the kid. Hopefully, the product helps.
Have you ever come across a kid lagging in height and weight growth? What are the possible solutions to overcome this problem? Do share in the comments below.

Introducing DATSUN #rediGO

Hello Everyone,

Friday and a Yay! I have a great news for all the car lovers out there. Datsun has launched a brand new car for today’s ready to go generation– DATSUN REDI-GO. The brand calls it a unique fusion of compact crossover & urban hatchback, offering the best of both worlds.

The car boasts several features that makes it a go to car for me. I would surely love to take it out for a spin on the Mumbai roads. And what better place to test a car than the Mumbai roads. If a car can survive this, it can surely survive any other road conditions.


It has several impressive features that will surely make you want to get behind the steering wheel like 
  • ·         YUKAN DESIGN
  • ·         D-CUT GRILLE
  • ·         HIGH STANCE
  • ·         BEST-IN-CLASS GROUND CLEARANCE
  • ·         DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
  • ·         SPACIOUS OVERALL INTERIOR
  • ·         5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
  • ·         SUPERIOR AIR-CONDITIONING
  • ·         FUEL ECONOMY
  • ·         SUPERIOR SUSPENSION SYSTEM


Of these, the 3 features that I would really want to test drive the DATSUN REDI-GO are –

SPACIOUS OVERALL INTERIOR: Nothing puts me off about a car like a car that hardly offers space for movement. Especially when the travelling hours are more and once is going to be stuck in traffic. Also, when going for a road trip with a lot of people, having a spacious vehicle is a must.  So now everyone in the family can travel up to 5 people comfortably with an additional luggage space. More the people, more the fun. No more cancelling of plans because you cannot say no nor accommodate everyone.

5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION: If you are like me and hate jerks in controls, your prayers have been answered. DATSUN redi-GO’s 5-speed manual transmission promises smooth control and precise shifting for a more seamless response to the demands. Say hello to a smooth, fun and comfortable travelling experience.

SUPERIOR AIR CONDITIONING: If you are surprised that I choose this as one the 3 most important features, don’t be. If you have been in Mumbai, you will understand the reason behind my choice. Mumbai is warm and humid round the year, irrespective of the season. Also, all thanks to the traffic scenes, one ends up spending more time than required behind the wheels. So, it’s important that the ride be comfortable and fun. DATSUN redi-GO’s air conditioning has been specially tested and optimized to suit Indian weather to keep you comfortable irrespective of the outside temperature. Another USP of its air conditioning is that the integrated center AC vent distributes the air evenly to the front and rear seats. No more arguments on who will occupy the front seats now!

Datsun redi-Go surely promises - Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback.

Booking for the car are open. You can also book the car on Snapdeal now. I am pretty excited to go for a test drive. Are you? Also, let me know in the comments below, which of these features did you find most exciting.

Regards,
Swati

Hoppingo.com – The digital haven for shoppers!

Hey Everyone!!!

E-commerce has become a shopper’s paradise and for a reason. Life has become too hectic for you and me to visit brick & mortar stores, have an aggressive sales person breathing down our necks and what’s more go home and realize that what you’ve shopped, perhaps, in a rush doesn’t really fit the bill! 

That is how ‘Hoppingo’ came about – India’s first ever, ‘See-Commerce’ digital platform. No, Hoppingo is not just another e-Commerce site showcasing a range of products from across categories in the most innovative manner for you to pick and choose from.

You may ask, ‘Then what is Hoppingo’?

You may explore the many ecommerce sites in vain, because the more you surf the more confused you get.  This is where Hoppingo becomes the ideal interface between you, the buyer, and millions and millions of products showcased on various e- stores.

Shoppers delight in visiting as many e-stores without realizing the mental fatigue they cause themselves. It is a haranguing experience.

At times, you may select and add products to your e-basket but never really buy them out of sheer ennui. Remember there’s Hoppingo to your rescue, keeping a track of what you like.

#Colgate360GoldMornings | Good Morning To Gold Morning

Hi Everyone !!!

I am a kind of person who believes that how you start your day  almost decides how the entire day would turn out to be. A good start generally means it will be a good day and a bad start most of the times ends up in a bad day. Most of the time if not always. Don't you feels the same?

So I try to always wake a to a good morning. Colgate recently turned my good morning into a gold morning by sending in a lovely surprise one fine day#Colgate360GoldMornings.

So I thought why not share a few mantras to turn your mornings into a good morning.

  • Begin your day with a smile. The first time you look into the mirror, look at a smiling reflection of self. Sounds nothing, but trust me it really gives your day a positive start.
  • Brush your teeth well. Sounds silly right? But nothing freshens you up better than fresh mouth and a lovely smile.
  • Start your day with some workout or yoga or meditation. A happy soul resides in a healthy body.
  • Go for a run in the park. Start your day with some fresh air amidst nature.
  • Think positive.
  • Start a little ahead of time. Rather than beginning your day in a rush, start at your own pace.
  • Say good morning. Yes! these two words will actually make yours and someone else's morning good too.
These are few simple yet effective tips that make my morning good or rather gold morning. What are yours? Do share in the comments below.
