Hey Everyone!

Welcome back to a brand new post!
This post might interest stationery lovers!

I have always been a person who makes note of tasks to be done.
I just have to function in a systematic and planned way, if not, I become restless.
Because of this, I always have a tiny book in hand, to jot down points and pending tasks.

It’s a Major Bonus if the Stationery Supplies are Cute.
I have always longed for Kawaii stuff easily available in Korea and other countries.

In my quest to find, Cute and Efficient Planner or Note Pad I researched the Internet.
And then found one by a Brand with the Quirkiest Name.

So, today let’s Review Bhasad Planner by Butterly yours



Price: INR 349

Packaging

This is one of the Classiest Note Books/Planner I have ever come across!
The outer cover is made out of Faux Leather and has Border lining in White, which adds to the Classy-ness.
You can customize Color of the Cover from Options provided on the Website.
Also, on the lower right corner, Name can be embossed.
I Customized the Outer Cover to have Pink Color and Name as: TheAnvolyzer (My Blog Name)
The finished product looks Superb and is my favourite part about it.





Quality

On the Inside, A thick booklet is kept for use.
The paper is of good quality and quantity, so it will definitely last long.
On the bottom left of every page, lies website name and on bottom right lies Date field.






Efficiency

The Planner follows Stephen R Covey’s Time Management Matrix.
It’s basically division of tasks based on Urgency and Importance to improve productivity.
I had heard about this technique but did not apply it much in real life.
Now after applying it I’m sure I will not even look at another approach as this one is so effective!



My Experience

On using Bhasad Planner I have been able to make the best out of my time!
The time management technique is truly effective and has made my life so simple!
I love the fact that it is super handy, can be carried in Handbags etc.
Not only does it have more pages, it can be easily replaced by another booklet.
And not to forget: Its Super Cute!!

I would totally recommend this planner to people who wish to be productive.
To know more about the Planner or to buy – Bhasad Planner

**Sponsored Post, Honest Review**
Hey Everyone!
Welcome back to a brand new Blog Post.

Today’s Post is going to be on Skin Care.

Lately I have been obsessed with Body Lotions, in a City Bangalore where its always Cool/ Cold, us people with Dry Skin need to always have Moisturizers Handy.

The products I will be talking about today are from Freshistry.com

If you people checked out my previous posts, you will know that I talked about Freshistry, where you can Customise Skincare Products Online

From deciding on Extracts, Base, Color to selecting the Fragrance of your product, all can be done on this Website.

So let us see how my Customised Body Lotion – Lavender Amber fared.

This is how it looks



Price : INR 375

Packaging

When I first saw the Curated product, I was quite disappointed with the Quantity provided for the Price.
I decided to go for Purple Tinge/Colour for the Body Lotion, but the product ended up looking Grey/Pale Blue




However, the Bottle is Travel friendly and not too Bulky.
It comes with a Cap style opener, should flick it open to get the product.



The label on the product provides all kinds of Info like Shelf life, Ingredients etc.
The Customized name which I chose for the Product, is displayed clearly and looks pretty good



Fragrance and Texture

The way Fragrance is put into this product is Quite interesting.
I chose to ‘Love and Roses’ Fragrance and was quite disappointed when it felt too mild when I sniffed it after taking a drop of product on my palm.

However, after application, the fragrance is not too mild anymore and is pleasant, which was a sweet surprise.
‘Love and Roses’ Fragrance is perfect for people who want Sweet, appropriately mild Fragrance.

The Texture is quite thick and settles deep into the Skin



Quality and Performance

Even though the quantity seems to be less for the Price, very minimal amount is required for a good moisturising session.
Since the texture is thick, this makes it perfect to use this product in winters when I need good Moisturising as I have dry Skin.

During summer, this might feel quite Sticky and Heavy.
I have not felt the need to moisturize again after hours of using the product, which means it's doing its job well.

My Experience

I had an amazing experiencing Customising the product.
Being able to choose what goes into the product and customising it to your exact needs is very Exciting.

The Website is very easy to Navigate and makes the entire process very Simple.
I'm very happy with the way the Final product has turned out and this product will always be a little special.




PROS

Ability to Customize the product exactly the way you want it.
Transparency maintained by the Brand.
Does exactly what it's supposed to.
Easy Navigation and Simple process.
Availability of Wide Range of Herbs, Extracts to suit everyone's Needs.

CONS

Expensive when compared to other products in the Market.
Short Shelf life can lead to product Wastage.
Lesser Quantity available as compared to its price.

Is it really worth it?

If you want the experience of customising your product just like the way you want, and don't mind the Splurge, then it's Worth it.

You will definitely get an exciting experience and a effective product for the Price Paid.

As I wanted a Cleanser to feel refreshing, I chose ‘Fresh Summer Mint’ as Fragrance.
