Do you know that 99% of calcium is stored in the body in teeth & bones? It is the mineral found in largest quantities in the body. . After age 30, bones in women’s body start to lose calcium & thus females suffer from calcium deficiency more than men. . During pregnancy 🤰 & lactation period, the baby requires calcium to build his bones & skeleton.

Board games never attracted my son. He is a curious child and wants to do something exciting all the time. It becomes really difficult to keep him engaged and find such activities which can keep him interested for a longer duration. . @flintobox is an amazing activity kit which came along my way & left me amazed. My son initially thought it to just another board game. But when he opened the box; he found 4 packets of different activities & a story book. Each activity is designed with a thought of enriching & stimulating young minds and aiding overall brain development. Children need unstructured play and experiential learning to develop their full potential. It helps them to find different ways and alternative scenarios to solve challenges & enables children to “learn by doing”. Such activities leave behind learning memories which they can later relate in their day to day life. Flinto box is one of those wonderful attempts which every parent must m...

Just one more week & my little dynamite is going to turn 7 years old🎉🎉. @xplorabox came in my mailbox right on time as a pre-birthday gift for my son🎁. He was super excited & spend around 3 hrs along with his dad exploring the box. Kids at this age generally don't sit at one place so long. So for me, Xplorabox made one of the most impossible task happen with ease. Another positive aspect was that he wasn't sitting in front of a screen /gadget & this little box kept him engaged. The box was of the right age group for him & had multiple activities. The activites are designed such that they help in developing skills like motor, cognitive, play & social skills for the kid. Every few minutes he was coming up with new questions which was an indication of his curiosity to know more. ⚘He learned about Solar System, planets & played a fun game with magnet around it. ⚘He created his own telespcope which introduced him to a new concept ...

We often say that our skin looks dull, rough and dry. It's mostly because the old/dead skin cells pile up which leads to excess oil, clogged pores, impurities, blemishes, acne etc. So, it's really important to have a regular exfoliating routine so that the skin looks fresh and healthy. . . @vaadiherbal Apricot and Walnut Scrub is grainy and creamy. So, apart from exfoliating the skin; it also nourishes it so that the skin becomes soft and shiny. I use it once a week. A coin size of it is enough for my face. I gently rub it on the face with circular motion of fingers for 4-5 minutes and then wash my face. . . Inspite of being creamy, it does not leave a residue after washing off. My skin becomes clean, clear, soft, smooth & shiny. It works well in removing the white heads & early blackheads. But if you have some old, deep rooted ones then you might need to visit a parlour. . . It's not hard on skin so it can be used for whole body too; though I use it on...
