Save Nature | Recycle Flowers | Health Benefits

We in India are devotional and spiritual people, few visiting temples  almost everyday to people who go in a week or even less, but we do and god resides in our heart. 

Offering comes in form of flowers, candles, water, even dairy products like milk, curd and ghee. We often think what happens after the offering has been made to the gods, are they just thrown away or fed to animals or just lie in a barren waste land. While devotion is one aspect, but in this world where natural resources are depleting, we often talk or hear about recycling and reusing whatever best we can.

Welcome to the world of recycling flowers, welcome to the world of fragrance, welcome to the world of Phool.

We came across the products through various online media posts and with their mission statement on recycling flowers from temple use, made us immediately try at least few products. When we visited their online shopping portal, we were in for a surprise as the fragrances on offer were in abundance and we took a good amount of time zeroing out what we should start with.

Final order we made was for an incense stick - eucalyptus and a cone - nargis, delivery was within 2 days to our home in Navi Mumbai. Items were neatly packed and on time delivery from a remote place in Kanpur. 




Nargis - Name of the flower used in this fragrance is Narcissus poeticus which has a sedative effect that relaxes your mind and helps you sleep better. 
It is also commonly used for Aromatherapy, Home Fragrance, Meditation and Yoga. Covid and work pressure in 2020, has unsettled our minds so much that we thought we need this stress reliving fragrance.          Eucalyptus - often known as Nilgiri plant, this is minty and camphoraceous, it eliminates bad odor and creates a pleasant home fragrance. Eucalyptus is also commonly used for Aromatherapy, Mosquito repelling, and Yoga.

While the number of sticks in either cone or the stick was limited to 40 and the asking price seem to be on the higher side, this may look steep but the aroma it would provide and make your evening truly enjoyable is worth the investment you would make.

Eat Healthy & Stay Fit with TBH

   Year 2020 is a year of surprises, with COVID 19 as one of the scariest disease affecting millions of people worldwide.  This gave us a country wide lockdown, but also gave us a new perspective to live life in a way we could never thought possible.  Health was one the the new year resolutions I took in the year 2020, and with the onset of COVID, I took a set back in terms of the physical activities which I could possibly do since we all needed to stay back at home to avoid getting infected or spread the disease.  Being serious about the resolution I took, it was a time to adopt to what can be best done at home or in the confined society area to keep the physical activities running and also switching to more healthier meals at home.  It was time to change the eating habits, what to eat ,when to eat and how much to eat,.  Being a food lover, I would want to hog onto a lot of food, but then what to eat needed a decision with a lot of thought.  Tea or coffee keeps me running through the

Welcome back childhood

Image
All of us would remember the childhood nostalgia of going back to our native, our birth place meeting our old school friends or a good family time with our caring and loving grand parents.  We would often spend days planning for such a trip and wait impatiently, with every day really hard to pass, finally when the day and the time comes, it goes with the blink of an eye.  During the travel we would often recollect our past memories, the fun we used to have, the games we used to play, picnics, eating a lot without a calorie counter in head and chocolates and candies... yes you heard it right ..candies ! You would agree our childhood candies were different, not because we used to eat in unlimited supply :) but in taste and flavor which is hard to find by now. No matter how hard you try, they are not an easy find especially the way we are tied in our professional and family duties.  Say hello to Go Desi ! the candies are back and so is the childhood. Relive not with everything at least wi
