 I've been a long time user of the bio-oil product range. If there's one brand in an testify about their efficacy, then bio-oil tops my list. I've been using the oil for more than 15 years and even recommending it to friends and family who are also impressed about how well it worked. I wanted to see how good the bio-oil lotion is. The lotion contains Hyaluronic acid, shea oil, rosehip oil and vitamin E. These ingredients are very good for the skin. The lotion feels very smooth, silky and soft when applied to the skin. It gives this feathery lightness and smoothness that feels so suave and it keeps your skin both moisturised and glowing.  This lotion is very suitable for dry skin. So if you have issues with dryness, then this lotion is the ideal skincare for hydration. 

I got gifted this Jo Malone's Oud Bergamot Intense perfume. It is a very captivating fragrance that has a rich, woody notes of oud and bergamot. The scent is both warm and refreshing, making it perfect for various occasions. When I first tried it, I was immediately struck by its unique and alluring aroma. The perfume gives  a sense of luxury and sophistication, and it made me feel confident when I wore it.  I like how small and fitting the bottle is. It’s small enough to take with you on an outing and it could easily fit a purse and it’s very travel size friendly. This is an ideal perfume for an evening night out

I discovered this brand a year ago after a friend referred me to it and since then I have been using their products. Dr Rashel is a Dubai based organic skincare brand. Their products are quite similar to The Ordinary. They are super affordable, well packed and very effective. I bought the Vitamin C Skincare Series which comes in a set of 5. The products contain Niacinamide, Vitamin c and Hyaluronic acid. The 5 set includes a cleansing milk, toner, face cream, face serum and face cleanser.  I like the design of their products because they come in portable sizes and elegant packaging.  My skin has improved so much since I've been using this brand consistently. The set is suitable for wrinkles, hydration, repair, cleansing and moisturising. So i would recommend this brand. 

  Dubai is renowned for some of the most luxurious spa experiences. This weekend I felt I needed a little TLC. I wanted something simple and affordable. Sometimes I like to get good deals from Cobone.ae and Groupon.ae. You can find some amazing deals on these websites if you live in Dubai. And also, you have the option of choosing a deal with a location close to you, so you don't need to travel far. It's always important to take time out to give yourself some TLC. Usually, I like to get a spa experience at least once or twice in a month. This can help with mental clarity, promote a sense of tranquility, calmness, reduce stress, improve the body's circulation, improve your skin and sustain your health. I got a really good deal from Groupon at Dreamworks Spa in Marina. The spa has two separate sections for male and female customers. They have a range of treatments and therapy that include massages, facials, etc. The interior of the spa is well decorated and serene. The staff ...

  Cartier Baiser Volé Eau de Parfum is an enchanting fragrance that captures the essence of a sweetness. As I first spritz Baiser Volé, the fragrance immediately embraces my senses, offering a delicate floral scent that feels both elegant and captivating. The lily notes are beautifully balanced, exuding a natural and radiant aura. As the perfume settles, it becomes warmer and richer, intertwining with hints of creamy vanilla. This subtle evolution adds depth and complexity, lending a comforting aspect to the scent leaving a seductive trail wherever I go. One of the aspects I particularly enjoy about Baiser Volé is its longevity. The fragrance lingers gracefully throughout the day, maintaining its freshness without overwhelming the senses. Its sillage is moderate, projecting elegantly but not intrusively. The overall impression I get from Cartier's Baiser Volé Eau de Parfum is one of timeless femininity and sophistication. The delicate interplay between the lily and vanilla cre...

 I have a strict routine on exfoliating at least once every week. This morning I decided to do a diy sugar scrub. I did a face scrub with no essential oil. It included sugar, green tea, baking powder and water. All I did was mix them all with water. I wanted to see how it felt without adding any essential oil. Surprisingly after washing the sugar off, it felt as good as a professionally prepared scrub. I was so impressed that I had to use it again to do a total body, neck to feet scrub. Now I realised you could still do a scrub without using any oil and it will turn out as nice. You can give it a try. But ensure you scrub gently because the sugar feels more abrasive without oil.  You can let us know about your experience using an oil free sugar scrub.

Bio-oil is one of my favourite oil. I have been using it for years since my university days. This moisturising oil is formulated to hydrate the skin, clear off stretch mark, sunburn , acne, scars, uneven skin tone, aging  and dehydrated skin. It is so light and it gets absorbed easily into the skin and it is non greasy.  Bio oil is one product I can authoritatively recommended for any one who is suffering from the above mentioned skin issues.   I used to have uneven complexion and dark knuckles way back. I tried bio-oil and it worked. The  dark knuckles was from using different products randomly when I was still a teen. A lot of these products had hydroquinone which discoloured my skin . So I can say this product is a very suitable for damaged skin from skin bleaching . It can help to blend and repair the damage from  chemicals. It's an effective remedy for stretch marks. I have been lucky not to have much stretch marks but due to the nature of the skin,...

One of my favourite perfume brands is Chanel. I have a few bottles of Chanel i collect for fun. The  Chanel Chance Eau Tendre   exudes a captivating scent that lingers in the air which reminds me of blooming flowers and freshly picked citrus fruits. It has sweet and floral notes mixed together, creating an intoxicating feeling. The fragrance is very feminine and soft. With hints of grapefruit, lemon, and jasmine, this fragrance evokes memories of elegant moments and fresh air. The sweet smell of Chanel Chance is one that is timeless and lasts long all over me whenever I'm wearing it and I get a lot of compliments from people asking what I'm wearing. I like how heady it smells, and I get the urge to find a lemony citrus drink. That's how intoxicating the Chanel  Chance  makes me feel. This is one fragrance I think every lady should try out.  Have you tried the  the Chanel Chance Eau Tendre ? Let me know what you think about the fragrance. Love ❤️, Silver Toj...

There's been quite a lot of rave about the purported efficacy of the Olaplex products range. I was really interested in using them but I had no idea which of the products to start with. I read alot of reviews and watched YouTube videos about Olaplex so I can get an idea of what to pick. My attention was drawn to the fact that the company purports to have some products that helps with heavily bleached and coloured hair. They help to repair and maintain bleached hair. Healthy and luscious hair is a dream for many, but frequent styling, chemical treatments, and environmental factors can leave our locks damaged and dull. Olaplex claims to be a game-changer in the world of hair care, offering innovative products that repair and protect damaged and bleached hair. Most of the reviews really mentioned Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, an at-home treatment that helps to reduce breakage and damage with Olaplex patented bond-building technology. Because my hair is bl...

If you have been following my blog or social media for a while, you would notice I have a thing for Swarovski . I mean the brand is super affordable and yet luxurious . You don't have to break the bank to cop many of their pieces. And also I like the fact their diamonds are ethically sourced-lab grown. I don't have to worry about it being a conflict or blood diamond.  Last week, I went shopping at Dubai mall . I had a specific design in mind. But i ended up getting something  else . I got the Attract Watch, the Angelic bracelet and Constella ring, all in silver. I only wear silver jewellery so it's just easy to go for it. I would probably get a matching necklace for the set later on. You can get the set here: Constella Ring Attract Watch Angelic Bracelet

I first came across The Ordinary product 2 years ago randomly on YouTube. Recently, I had a skin consultation at Skin Laundry in Marina. The Beautician recommended some Skin Laundry products. After using the products, I noticed an instant improvement on my skin. The products were super pricey, so I went online trying to find a good brand which was cost effective. My search led me to The Ordinary. I wanted something with Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C and Retinol, which were some of the ingredients in the Skin Laundry products. I started with The Ordinary toner , Hyaluronic acid , Retinol, Salicylic acid , Lactic acid and  Vitamin C . So far, the products have been working well except the Lactic acid i had to discontinue because the top of my nose itches me whenever I use it. Overall, I would recommend the brand. Their products are effective and super affordable. You can  The Ordinary products  here.

    This is one topic I like to talk about. Personal hygiene is a big deal for me. Body odour is like a stigma. When you smell so bad, people would not want to be around you. It can be so embarrassing that your close friends are just not bold enough to tell you how bad you smell.  There are several reasons why people smell bad. It could be excessive sweating, diet, lack of proper personal hygiene or genetics. If you fall in the last category and still have bad odour, then it's time to see a doctor. Most people may have no idea that their personal scent doesn't smell good. HOW TO ELIMINATE ODOUR NATURALLY Baking powder is one of the most useful kitchen items you may not know about in health, hair and skincare. This cheap item has 100s of uses that can be used for your skin.    Apart from its various health uses, it can also be used topically for the body.
