Winter Care Cream Review - Elizabeth Arden Intervene

So I have been doing a lot of things viz. shifting into a new abode, getting prepped for 'my best friend's wedding' and finally resigning from work. Yes, you heard it right! I resigned and to top it all i feel amazing. It is like the new year arrived earlier at my new doorstep. In between all the shifting, packing, unpacking, re-decorating & all the shopping; my skin became so flaky & dry that even my last resort - almond oil could not nourish it back to life.

And then the hunt started for a new night cream. First stop was a mall and i consulted a few so called 'beauty experts' who suggested i go for Elizabeth Arden's Intervene - Stress Recovery Night Cream. Sounds Amazing, Right!

Unfortunately, the cream is not. I bought it for a whooping INR 1100 and i wished i would have bought a blouse from promod instead of buying this. Firstly, it has a lot of those glitter particles which are supposed to nourish your skin and make it shine, which does the trick when you apply it but when you wake up in the morning the shine and the sheen is all gone. Also, having asked for a treatment for very dry skin, Intervene was clearly a wrong suggestion from the 'beauty expert'. It just didn't do anything for my skin. My skin was as dead as it was before i applied it.

Will i buy it again? No.  Will i suggest it to someone? Maybe Not.

Black Hole

“Just for future reference, don't use words like "love" anymore. It's a very sensitive word and it wears out quickly. Romeo barely says it, but John Hinckley filled up a whole journal with it. To put it into your terms, it's a currency that's easily devalued. Pretty soon you're saying it whenever you hang up the phone or whenever you leave. It turns into an apology. Then it's an excuse. Some assholes want it to be a bulletproof vest: don't hate me; I love you. But mostly it just means--more. More, more--give me something more. A couple of years from now, when you're on your own completely, if you really fall in love, if it really comes to that--and I pity you if it does--you have to look right down into the black of her eyes, right down into the emptiness in there and feel everything, absolutely everything she needs and you have to be willing to drown in it, Kevin. You'd have to want to be crushed, buried alive. Because that's what real love feels like--choking. They used to bury some women in their wedding dresses, you know. I thought it was because all those husbands were too cheap to spring for another gown, but now it makes sense: love is your first foot in the grave. That's why the second most abused word is "forever".”

Today's post will just be this quote. I found it by accident and somehow found myself relating to it at this point of time. Its just so deep; goes right through you and takes something from you which resides deep within. That Black Hole which pulls everything that exists within you and in the end it all becomes nothingness. Nothingness. 

See  you all soon.

So It Goes

So It Goes.

A very famous statement made by an author and has been so popular that it has been tattooed on and on a hundred times.

I do not know why I want to start my blog with this; but I do.

This blog will be about all things mundane; thoughts, quotes, books, reflections, make-up, current affairs, food, travel etc. To sum it all up, it will be intellectual Gibberish. Lets call it just gibberish.

I will try jotting things once a week but seeing how new I am to blogging I might falter afew. I am still not used to typing directly on the computer, I somehow have a frame of mind which says you don’t write on a computer you write in a journal. Call me old-school but that’s who I am.

Just some info on ‘So it Goes’ – Well, this 3 three letter statement occurs 106 times in the novel ‘Slaughterhouse-Five’ by Kurt Vonnegut. The story continually employs the refrain "So it goes." when death, dying, and mortality occur, as a narrative transition to another subject and to explain the unexplained.

So it Goes I feel is a mockery on Life. One can never explain it. It is sad, it is beautiful, it is beautifully sad & is sadly beautiful as well. Lets leave the heavy topics for later but I think ‘So it Goes’ stands in the same place as ‘This too shall pass’.

Anyways, Time to wrap up my ramblings as very aromatic mutton curry calling.

Ciao.
