I really don't know exactly how I feel about monsoons.
I love the sound of rain on my window-sill and the soul-fulfilling smell of the wet earth after the showers.
I love to cozy up on the couch with a good book and a cup of coffee when it pours outside.
I love to take a walk in the season's first rains holding his hand and getting wet together.
I love the romantic vibes of all Bollywood rain numbers.
And of course, I love to catch my extra bit of the most satisfying sleep, snuggling deep under the covers on rainy mornings!
But, I don't like getting caught in sudden showers when I'm out on some work. Specially, if I am not carrying an umbrella.
I don't like having to walk on wet roads; hopping, skipping & jumping over puddles & mud.
I don't like not getting to wear my nice shoes in this weather in the fear of getting them wet.
I don't like the way roads flood up after a heavy bout of rain and there's no hope of getting a decent transport without burning a hole in your pocket, specially if it's late evening or night time.
And mostly, I don't like what the weather does to my skin and hair! #facepalm
I have spent many a monsoon trying to fight dull skin and unmanageably-frizzy hair, trying product after product, but in vain. Kolkata, being even more humid than Bangalore, just drives me nuts in this season, resulting in more skincare & haircare woes than I can handle!
A couple of months back, I had the good fortune to come across an organic beauty brand - Satliva - that makes skincare & haircare products with Hemp Seed Oil and other natural ingredients.
