What are you reading right now??

This article isn’t the usual one. Its about book review.

To start with I love reading. I fee reading is one of the best things that has happened to mankind..

I love reading … I simply loveeeeeeeeeeee it!!

I don’t remember when I started reading first, but I am glad I did. I love books, happy endings bring a smile to my face, i feel like a detective while reading a thriller and on and on. I love the experience books  give you, the waay they engage you in themselves, the way they make you travel with the story… it’s such a different experience all together. They build patience in you. Well there are so many things to list, but lets continue it some other time.

Coming back to the review,

So right now I am reading “FALL OF GIANTS” by “KEN FOLLET”.

I have completed reading more than one third of the book, I know not a good number but I couldn’t wait to share my experience. And anyways I don’t want to complete the book and then write the review and put spoiler alerts! Here and there!

Well this book is the first book of the trilogy by KEN FOLLET.  It is followed by “WINTER OF THE WORLD” and the third book provisionally titled “EDGE OF ETERNITY” will be published in late 2014.

It is a historic novel based on five families who are brought together through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution and the struggle for votes for women. This book is a solid from the first page.

This book is an immediate read; I mean I could wait at least. Though the size of the book might take you back a bit but believe me you will find it worth it at the end. The period encompasses First World War. The upper class weren’t shy about then being higher in the class and liked showing it off. Also the lower class was shown their place.

There are a lot of characters in the book. So many that he actually provides an index to list them. The characters are clearly described when are where encountered and they are so memorable that it’s easy to keep them straight.

So overall the story is intriguing and complex but a pure pleasure!!!

Happy Reading...!!

Exfoliating homemade scrub (easiest)

We need to exfoliate the skin often. Due to pollution, improper eating habits and lifestyle out skin grows old faster. If you look in the mirror and feel your skin patchy, dry, flaky then you need to scrub out the dead skin and bring out the new skin underneath it.

Today I will be sharing a homemade scrub which can be made in less than 5 minutes and has really promising effect. Moreover you can use it every alternate day if you want.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoon raw oats (not the processed ones with added flavors and all)

Water/honey/curd – oily skin

Milk – dry skin

Rose water - combination skin

A pinch of salt.

Procedure:

1.      Grind the oatmeal in a mixer grinder. Make sure you don’t grind it to fine powder. Keep it at a considerable granular level

2.      Add a liquid from above which ever suits your skin type.

3.      Let it soak for 2-3 minutes.

4.      Add pinch of salt

Now use this scrub as a natural scrub on your face. Use it for 2-4 minutes It is totally safe to use it. If you have acnes or troubled skin you can skip the salt ingredient.

Even then, if you are skeptical to use it, use it as a body scrub for once and then see the difference.

Pros: 

·        This scrub removes all the dead skin cells and makes the skin soft

·        Makes the skin clear

·        Removes tan to a certain extent if used regularly.

·        Cheapest exfoliator. :P

·        Moisturizes the skin

·        No side effects - as it doesn’t contain any chemicals

·        You can customize it – for aroma therapy (by adding some fragrances)

 

Cons: 

 
·        I don’t see any, unless you are too lazy to make this.
