Chinese Ginseng & Rice Clarifying Polishing Mask #THEBODYSHOP

-
So, I have been a ardent fan of Body Shop's British Rose and for my second mask purchase, i was skeptical between the Chinese or the Himalayan one and finally with the help of the friendly Body Shop's Staff, i got into Chinese Ginseng.

It does wonder to my skin. I do see a difference after using the mask. I also have googled up benefits of Chinese Ginseng and Rice. Well, Ginseng is know to have toning properties and the rice extract is known to moisturize and brighten the skin. It does work well on my skin. My skin feel fresher and toned.


For now, I use Body Shop's British Rose and Chinese Ginseng Face Mask. I use them everyday. (Well, i do have days when i have lazy) I am allowed to have once in two weeks cheat day for my skin. Lol. It is very important to feed your skin. A yes for a repurchase! Totally worth the cash!

Ponnuruku (Gold Melting)

Since i have so many wedding coming up in the family, I've decided to post about some pre-wedding rituals in a Sri Lankan (ceylonese) wedding. It is also called as ponnuruku and the gold that is used to take the thali is melted at the bridegroom's house. Apparently this is an essential ceremony and it cannot be skipped. This ceremony normally occurs 5-7 days before the wedding. The groom presents the gold to the family's goldsmith to be melted in a clay pot. The bride do not participate  in this and the groom and bride from this time onwards do not see each other and they remain vegetarians until the wedding is over. After the gold melting, Kanni Kaal is planted in both houses.  A few guest from the groom's house attends the ceremony followed by a vegetarian meal. After the planting is over, ladies of both parties will make Athirasam and this is distributed to all present. The significance of this is something sweet is traditionally given to mark the good occasion a

Why Does A Ceylonese Bride Wear A Veil?

So, why does a Ceylonese bride wear a veil? I myself don't know much about the tradition. I wasn't even aware of this until a few posts came up on Facebook. I don't any reason behind all the tradition that happens in a Ceylonese wedding. In a typical Ceylon wedding, the grooms sits on the manavarai (Canopy) through out the wedding. The brides comes in after the "rakshabandham" of the groom. Trust me, i don't even know what the hell is this. So apparently the bride and groom cannot see each other until he (groom) hands the bride her "Koorai" saree (wedding saree). That is the reason why a Ceylon bride wears a veil. The whole cost of the wedding falls under the bride's responsibility. Remember my earlier post about the gold melting ceremony? That is purely the responsibility of the groom's side.

Feed Your Skin: Facial Treatment Essence #SK-ii

I was a little hesitant to purchase this because of the price. but after using it i understand why it's this pricey!  I have used few small bottles (10ml) and in the midst of one 75ML bottle. I have more than half a bottle left and i used it daily (night time).  I am very stingy with my usage, i use only 2 to 3 drops which is sufficient enough to cover my whole face and neck. I prefer to use my palm to apply it rather than a facial cotton. I feel i am wasting the essence if i use a facial cotton and i need to apply more drops onto it to cover my whole face. My skin felt very radiant and clear but i saw a difference after a few and consistent usage. I wake up to a glow-y and clear skin. It also makes my skin look smooth and soft. So the key is consistent here! SK-11's formulation is a lightweight liquid that quickly absorbs into the skin and each bottle contains 90% PITERA. I wish they sell it at a cheaper price but it's totally worth it. I have browsed through la
