How To Choose The Right Shampoo for Curly Hair – Curlvana Fortifying Curl Cleanser Review?

The right shampoo for curly hair can transform your beautiful curls and make them healthy too

Curly hair is receiving a lot of attention these days. People have started to love their natural curls. Fortunately with the right curly hair gel, cream and love, your curls can become irresistible. The requirement for curly hair is completely different from other types of hair. In today’s blog, I will be sharing my Curlvana fortify cleanser review. But before that let’s discuss, how to choose the right product for curly hair?

Need for Good Shampoo for Curly Hair:


Every hair is different and so is curly hair. You need to use different shampoos for curly hair. The structure of curly hair is to be blamed for its frizziness. There are a lot of variations in curly hair, from afro-textured curls, and coiled curls to wavy hair. The follicles of curly hair are different from other hair types. It is slightly slanted and it does not grow vertically upright like straight hair. The natural oil that is secreted from glands cannot reach the strands of curly hair. That is why curly hair needs extra moisture. This can combat the frizz and dryness of curly hair.
Curly hair’s ability to absorb moisture also varies from straight hair. A simple conditioner is enough to make straight hair smooth and easy to manage. But curly hair needs more than just conditioner. It needs extra oiling, serum, mask, and lots of conditioning. Hence, you need to look for the best shampoo for curly hair.

How to choose the right shampoo?


Curly hair needs special care. You need to choose shampoos that are sulfate and paraben-free as sulfates and parabens are more likely to cause frizz and dryness. Curly hair needs a lot of moisture which can be received from hair creams, oils, or gels. One of the prime ingredients in most shampoos these days is sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Though it produces a lot of lather, it can make the hair dry by stripping all the natural oils. Shampoos that have alcohol should also to be avoided.
Shampoos that have natural moisturizers like plant protein, shea butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, almond oil, etc. can help in retaining the moisture in the curly hair. It also does not disrupt the pH level of the hair. So, always pick a sulfate-free shampoo for curly hair as that can prevent damage.


Why did I choose Curlvana Fortifying Curl Cleanser?


There are so many curly hair products available in the market these days. There are many curl-friendly ingredients used in all of the products to bring the best out of your curly hair. One such product would be Curlvana Fortifying Curl Cleanser. This shampoo also works for wavy curly hair. It is a gentle cleanser that gets rid of the build-up but not the natural oil of our hair. This cleanser has ingredients like Jamaican black castor oil, Shea butter, Aloe vera, Pentavitin, fermented rice water extract, plant protein, etc. All of which control frizz and also help to define the curl. It does not dry the curls, hence reducing hair breakage. All these key elements make this the best cleanser for all the curly hair girls out there.


The Curlvana shampoo is curated to gently clean the Indian curly hair and is the best chemical-free option. I hope the detailed Curlvana shampoo review will help you to pick the right product for your curls.

Experience with Borosil Oven- Prima 60 L OTG

My baking experience with borosil oven Prima 60 litre OTG

Pin it

Baking is like a therapy for me, I started baking in oven after my little one was born and it worked as stress buster for me.

That time we bought 21 L LG microwave convection oven as we were not sure how much we would be using it. But my love for baking kept growing and I kept on learning new new recipes and trying in my small microwave .

I have baked breads, cookies, buns, pizza, bati and many more items in my LG microwave .

But frankly I was not so satisfied with microwave oven baking as end results were not up to mark. As it was 21 ltr oven I need to bake limited quantity every time. So my baking time and electricity consumption was increasing.

So we finally decided to buy proper oven and our search started with all available brands.

What we searched before buying oven?

  • Capacity
  • Temperature settings
  • Reviews
  • Multiple uses
  • Baking time
  • How much you can bake in one go

Why above points are important !!

  • It’s really important to decide how many ltr oven you need to buy as per your baking requirements, here you should consider future needs as well. You won’t be changing your oven any time soon
  • Temperature settings is important as there are many recipes that need higher temperature. In many ovens the max temperature provided is 200 – 220 °C
  • Reviews, user feedback is also important as good looking and feature pack product does not mean it’s good.
  • We should always consider oven which has multiple features like bake, toast & grill are most common one
  • Timer is another important feature as if you want to bake multiple trays in one go then you might need longer time to cook. Many ovens come with just 60 min timer
  • How much you can bake in one go, again if you want to make large batches and want to cook it in one go & if you have smaller capacity oven then it will consume a lot of time & energy

After our search we finally decided to buy Borosil – Prima 60 L OTG as it was one of the few which fulfill almost all of my requirements. So let’s see why I choose to buy Borosil.

Features

  • It has multiple functions that includes convection, rotisserie, grill, bake and toast
  • As it’s Borosil it has borosilicate Double Glass Door
  • Adjustable Temperature Control 90° – 250°C, max temperature is 250°C
  • 0 – 120 minutes mechanical timer, it was really important as when you are baking for many people your oven can bake continuously for 120 minutes
  • It has keep warm function, which will keep oven running at set min temperature to keep your food warm
  • Power Indicator automatically turns on when the timer is set
  • Motorized rotisserie for uniform grilling function available in Borosil Prima Oven Toaster Griller
  • 12 Stage heating options in Prima Oven Toaster Griller
  • Illuminated chamber helps in baking as you can keep an eye while you are baking.
  • As it’s 60 ltr we cam keep multiple trays at once

Items included with Borosil 60lt

  • 1 Removable Crumb Tray for better cleaning
  • 1 Cooking Tray
  • Grill Rack
  • Handle to take out Cooking Tray
  • Rotisserie Rod Set
  • Rotisserie Handle
  • Recipe book
  • Instructions manual

My experience with Borosil Prima Oven

  • Very easy to operate as it has four knobs for setting temperature, mode & heating rod and timer to adjust as per your recipe
  • For easy assistance it comes with a guide book and recipe book with all details to understand your oven
  • It’s quiet spacious to bake multiple items. I have baked around 25-30 medium size cookies in two trays, two cakes in one go, lasagna, breads, baked vegetables.
  • One point to mention, baking time increases little more if you are baking more items in one go.
  • Illuminated chamber is really helpful to keep a check on items baking. I would say it’s really important as I have worked with another oven without light bulb and it’s quiet tough to see the baked level without taking out tray.
  • Big double glaze glass on front so it’s quite easy to keep an eye on every corner of the tray.
  • Initially there was uneven heating issues so I was getting some dark and some light color cookies. In my case it was thermostat issue and got it fixed.
  • But still to avoid that you can change the tray directions when you see it’s getting darker at one end.
  • Oven overall weight is not heavy so you can shift on your own if required.
  • Oven thermometer is must to know the exact temperature of oven as it’s always less or more then what you have set. You should get a good quality one else temperature issue will be there.
  • Oven trays/wire rack quality is ok, but can’t keep heavy pans like Dutch oven or iron tawa on the wire rack which is required in sourdough baking.
  • Overall a happy customer as I love baking in my oven and every oven behaves differently so you will get use to when you bake.

Things to know before buying Meyer cookware

Meter stainless steel cookware review

After the research on steel cookware, we finally bought one set of pots and pans from Meyer with one solo Saucepan as it was not available in set.

We purchased it during the sale and get it in some discounted price from Amazon. This is the set , saucepan and saucepan for rice/pasta. We bought this rice/pasta saucepan just because of it’s lid as it has 2 type of strainer in the lid.

Why Meyer Cookware?

My experience
  • 100% Nickel Free Stainless Steel from Nippon Steel Corp JAPAN-Quality is good but not too thick around 4 mm so you have to take care not to keep it on high flame otherwise it burns easily and will leave marks on the cookware.
  • It has superior pitting resistance compared to ordinary steel cookware – What is PITTING? Pitting is the stains or erosion that you notice in your steel pan while boiling water. PITTING occurs in stainless steel in the presence of chlorides like salt. I had this issue with my Meyer Saucepan, the very first time I boiled rice in it with one spoon salt. I noticed some marks at the bottom and after washing it multiple times with soap, marks are still there and I have to live with it. We got stains/erosion from the first use, that too on saucepan worth INR 3575. We contact customer care service but they said it will not affect it’s working. So we have no option of replacement and we have to use that only.
  • Impact Bonded Base for Even Heat Distribution – It is layered with aluminium core inside and stainless-steel protector outside. This thick base allows for more distance between the flame and the surface of the pan. Therefore, the extra distance allows the heat to diffuse evenly and thus prevent hot spots. – But with my own experience I felt heat spots comes daily with high flame in this cookware especially in kadai.
  • Durable stainless steel with fast heating process- Steel cookware looks good and yes heats faster as I mentioned you need to take care of the flame too specially with kadai than other cookware. Most of them would get rainbow like discoloration with little high flame and you need to scrub it to remove. So cooking on high flame is a BIG NO with this cookware even if your dish required high flame cooking.
  • Metal utensil safe and can be used in dishwasher– I have been using steel spoons with Meyer Cookware, didn’t noticed any marks from that but yes they have mentioned not to use steel scrubbers for cleaning as it can leave marks . We don’t have a dishwasher so no comment on that.
  • Ten years warranty free for material and workmanship defects under normal household usage – I have not tried warranty yet but yes as mentioned the saucepan issue not been resolved and said it doesn’t come under replacement.
  • Sturdy Handle- Meyer Cookware lids are comparatively heavier than the base pan. It has glass lids with stainless steel handles riveted from inside. Provided with silicone inserts for soft grip and heat resistance. But it will work for short time cooking only as the lid and handles gets hot if you are cooking for a long time like more than 20 Minutes. Also as suggested do not keep it soaked in water from silicon side as it will affect it’s glue.
  • High Grade Mirror Polished FW2 Stainless Steel. Looks was obviously a main point too when I choose to spend so much on stainless steel cookware. But sad to say the shine would not last too long, especially from inside the pan. And you really have to take care of cleaning and keep explaining your maid to clean with proper care.

Final verdict

Meyer Cookware is good quality then most but cost is little higher as per the thickness. You can definitely try this if you are looking for something good with good warranty and quality then other.

The principle directs medical establishments to identify and use ways to minimize the exposure of medical personnel, patients and clinical staff to radiation.
  • Water Filteration System-Clove clinics rely on reverse osmosis (RO) filtration systems to ensure the safest possible water supply.
  • Sterilization Autoclaves- Autoclaves sterilize dental tools by subjecting them to high pressure, saturated steam. Clove’s autoclaves are imported from international manufacturers and Clove doctors are trained in and adhere to strict protocols for the sterilization of tools.
  • Dental consumables- Dental consumables are the medicines, materials and small pieces of equipment used in dental procedures.

After being a mom there is a new set of challenges with every phase of child growth and development. One such phase is selecting the best play school for your kid.

It takes the same time, efforts and energy that you spend in finding a new doctor during pregnancy or finding a new pediatrician for your baby.

You need to check all details online and offline with word of mouth recommendation and trying options for a week or more to find the best place where your baby is safe, learns and enjoys in a nurturing environment.

As my little girl is going to join her pre School soon, my research also started with online and offline search for the ideal preschool. While looking for the best play school, I came across Alphakids International preschool. They have an option of giving out franchisees to moms that are looking to open their very own preschool! I was really impressed with this idea as for mothers who are either housewives or want to be mompreneurs it can be a good idea to open a preschool of their own to ensure quality care for their little ones as well as for other children, and at the same time keep busy and monetize on the idle property that they may have. What a brilliant idea!

I would love to share some more details about taking an Alphakids Preschool franchise which I found during my search and some interaction with the school authorities.

Staycation with Wonderla Resort

After being in Bangalore for almost 3 year we finally visited the most talked about attraction i.e. Wonderla Amusement park.

Now Wonder-La has resort facility well, after entering the main gate first right is the resort. It is located around 200 mt before the Amusement park.
We had one day stay there which includes tickets for the park, B/F, one other meal either lunch or dinner with high tea.

The ticket provided is a normal entry ticket which means one must wait in line to take ride, they do have fast entry which will directly take you to the entry and you will get preference before the normal entry which is worth if you are planning to go on a week-end.

Welcome with smile at Resort

Resort do have valet parking, very welcoming staff at the entrance. Check-in was a breeze, if it’s a weekend then might take little more time than usual.

Reception Sitting Area

After all the formalities we were quickly allotted a room on 5th floor which was swimming pool facing with beautiful landscape behind it.

Pool View from our Room

It’s a good size room with enough free space on all the sides of the bed, they do have one chair and small table on one side with desk and chair at the corner. All the basic facilities are there in the room like – tea/coffee maker with sachet, locker & water bottles.

Lighting in the room was little less and all yellow light (personal preference). Beds were quite comfy, not too soft not too hard (again personal preference)

Bathroom is of small size but enough for 1-person ?. There were toiletries provided in the bathroom like shampoo, body lotion, comb and other utility stuff like ear buds, tooth pick & Band-Aid.

Resort Facilities

As it’s a resort so they do have different facilities to entertain the guest. Most important one is swimming pool and they do have separate kids pool with railing around it. There is one attendant present all the time, who keeps an eye on the kids, provides towels. Swim wear is also available if someone forgets to bring one.

Swimming pool

Other facilities include kids play area, small gym with all the basic equipment’s, recreating room with some indoor sports like – carom, chess, air hockey, pool table on the first floor.

Indoor activities room

There is conference room and banquet halls present on the first floor, so organization outings can be planned here or some conference.

Conference room

Restaurant

There is one restaurant and one pool side lounge present on the ground floor. Restaurant is having decent seating capacity and nice ambience, one side of it face the front of the resort i.e. garden & parking area. They serve buffet as well as a-la-carte here.

Buffet spread

The buffet spread is quite small, one starter 3 veg and 3 non-veg main course, 2 type of rice, noodles with veg gravy and 3 desert option. Taste wise it was decent, not bad but not excellent. Service is slow as it took around 15 min to get rotis even though it was not that crowded.

WonderLa Amusement Park

Park is located around 200 meters from resort, with their day stay you get park ticket that you need to collect from the reception. You’ll only get the ticket after 1 PM, this is some sort of condition they have included in this package and it’s a normal ticket not a fast track.

There is drop to park from resort and vice versa or else you can walk down if you want to burn some calories ? or take your own vehicle. There is a huge parking space, most of the space b/w resort and the park is parking area.

At the resort there is option to take bike’s, I think it is something new they are planning to introduce or already introduced not sure as it was closed when we were there. Sadly, forgot to check the details as well.

The park is not that big area wise, but it has lots of rides for adults and kids around 70 as per our driver. There is a lot of foot fall on weekends so be ready to wait in queue if you have normal ticket, as per the information boards on the rides you might have to wait up to 45 min for some rides.

There is quite a good collection for kids as well, our daughter enjoyed her outing thoroughly. You can imagine here joy with this that we have to ask the ride attendant to let her sit one more time on most of the rides ?

There is one giant wheel placed on the top of a tower from there one can have a bird’s eye view of the full facility and beautiful mountains and fields nearby. From here you can see a lot of solar water heating panels which are used to heat the water for their wave pools and other rides.
