Current obsession : kiss and tell

Hi girls, how are you all doing?  I hope you have been having a great time! I myself received a parcel today which put me in a great mood... read on to know more.. 💓💓💓

Some days ago I came across a brand name Island kiss tropic pomade who make these amazing hundred percent natural organic lip moisturizers. Today, in this post I am going to talk about my experience with them. This has been one of the best collaborations I have had so far because I got a response as soon as I contacted them and I have to admit that their PR team is amazing!

Speaking of their products I got 3 of their in lip moisturizers in the variants - black rose and grenade Rogue lip moisturizer stain, puerto Berry blush lip moisturizer, Alma Vanilla and inges lavender lip moisturizer. 😊

packaging and everything else: First of all, I have to say that I am bowled over by their packaging! We all know I am a sucker for great packaging! They have the sassiest packaging which would help in attracting customers at first sight! About Island kiss, they are a brand based in Goa, India. I have to give them credit for having such an innovative idea of making their products very tropical oriented. So, naturally the product packaging gives out a very beachy vibe. I even got small seashells in my courier package and thought the idea was a genius one!💚💚💚

Each of the lip moisturizer come in a small tube and they are absolutely travel friendly and can be carried around in hand bags or makeup bags. They are hundred percent natural, organic and hundred percent pure! The best thing about them is they come with spf 15 as a protection from harmful sun rays and help in nourishing, softening, soothening and replenishing your lips needs. Also they are petroleum free and non toxic, safe to use. I love it when an organic product gives you natural sun protection. As I have always been scared of pigmented lips, these have been a lifesaver for me. 💜💜💜

Most of the times, petroleum jelly is found to be in lip balm products because it is a cheaper alternative which many brands resort to, but with Island kiss and their petroleum free formula you can use it safely, whenever you want under the sun! They are not tested on animals and it cruelty free, recyclable and best before 36 months from manufacturing date. Each tube contents about 14 grams of product. The lip balms have thick consistency but are more on the liquid side , they all leave a wonderful lingering smell behind. The texture is smooth and lip smacking!

Directions for use: squeeze with love and caress on to the lips until they soften! enjoy baking in the sun, feel free to lick your lips and savour the taste of your Island kiss. 💝💝💝

What are you?

Do you know who is an ambivert? Read on to know if you are one!

An ambivert is a person who has a balance of extrovert and introvert features in their personality. Well that sounds promising, but why might it be a bad thing? Also how can you turn this to be your strong point?

Please keep in mind when I say its important that you know when to open up and when not to. All my life I have faced a problem with opening myself up to the right person and it has hampered my relationship in numerous countless ways.
Finally through some years of maturity I have understood that I have to create a striking balance between being an introvert as well as being an extrovert.
That's when I will be known as a perfect ambivert.

Being an ambivert, I realise that I have a lot of unique traits in my character, like when I am happy I am socializing but when my social battery dies I turn into a complete different person! Please don't mix ambiverts up with two faced people for people with completely different PERSONALITIES. Being an ambivert means you are the same person and you remain the same person, just your socializing skills adapt accordingly.

Now to some people we might come across as arrogant but that's not the whole story! the whole story is when we tell you that we can't really choose between who to socialize with and whom not to socialize with. It's like we are stuck in between two endless worlds of possibilities. I am not saying that being an ambivert is a bad thing but when not used in the right way can seriously leave  wrong impression on other people. This might sound stupid, but to avoid awkward situation you have to actually practice talking to yourself when you are alone. I have tried this technique and it genuinely helped me a lot. It helped me to boost my confidence, to bring up a lot of new ideas on my own and to become my own best friend. In this way, your introvert side will get nourished. Talking to yourself will also help you in controlling what comes out off your mouth.

I think I have always been half out of my shell and half in. Sometimes I can be extremely wild and sometimes I can be extremely shy, it just depends on the day. I think I am not the only person here who says that we need our own alone time so that we can recharge ourselves.

Although this is not a new concept,
Carl Jung in his book Psychological Types wrote: “There is, finally, a third group… the most numerous and includes the less differentiated normal man… He constitutes the extensive middle group.”

How are we different from extroverts : Extroverts are very straight forward and they know what they are doing most of the time. But most of the time they come off as arrogant and rude. However they can pitch the sales technique well, but there are certain drawbacks of being extroverts. The fun point includes they make friends wherever they go and know how to connect with people very easily. They seem to have their way with people. They seem to be jolly most of the time because they can speak their hearts out and have the courage to do so. These kind of people often excel at being Businessmen, lawyer, salesmen, teachers, bankers etc.

Matrikas have a number of products to inspire the creative mind. They offer beautifully designed notebooks, diaries, journals, and other stationery.

The four variants are the following themes: to write, to dream, to fly, to glide.

Specifications : A5, size=148 x 205 mm , price : rs 450

The theme i chose: to dream

A woman's mind is a sacred place and her thoughts are worshippers of a holy Temple. It is an absolute crime to let your thoughts go because you don't know if you will ever get them back or not ! My idea is to scribble down every creative thought I come across everyday and therefore they become more accessible. Do you want to write down the plot you're thinking of? Do you secretly want to become a writer? Then think no more this is the perfect fit for you! Also as a blogger its nearly my everyday struggle to give my ideas proper shape..half of the time I keep forgetting things! Having a journal comes in really handy , especially when you have limited access to electronic devices. During travelling , you can also use it as a travel journal.
