For the past few months, I have developed this habit of segregating trash at home. It has not yet become a common habit in India yet but do you know how much you can help the waste pickers and the environment by doing this simple task at home itself? So, let me talk about why and how to segregate waste at home?

Eco-conscious is the new buzz word. Sadly, we are living in India where we need to run campaigns like ‘Swacch Bharat’ which is touted to be wildly successful. And, yet we are not used to segregating our trash even after so much awareness and education earning high salaries and living in cosmopolitans and metropolitan cities.

Why should we segregate waste at home?

Our trash has lot of things from the wet green waste to the unhygienic sanitary and medical waste. Sometimes, we irresponsibly throw in the e-waste and batteries as well. When we do not segregate our waste, the task falls upon the waste pickers.

Did you know that the waste pickers are exposed to an abundance of health hazards because we are not used to segregate waste at home?

Exposure to the sanitary waste exposes them to loads of bacteria and other insects which get attracted to them. When we dispose of even small batteries, the chemicals leak out of them. When waste pickers segregate the waste, they get exposed to these chemicals like cadmium, chromium, mercury, et cetera. These toxic chemicals are also released into the environment causing environmental hazard.

Separating plastic, on the other hand, is a tedious task. Going through the land mines of waste and picking up every small piece of plastic is nearly inhumane. And, finally, at least a little percentage of the plastic ends up getting burned and releasing toxic fumes into the environment.

Helping the waste pickers and environment on the other hand will reduce our personal carbon footprint and help pass down the habit to the future generations. You can also earn money by selling off all the recyclable waste segregated at home.

How to segregate waste at home?

It is common knowledge that we have three categories of waste – biodegradable or greens, recyclable which includes cartons, plastic and glass and rejected waste which includes sanitary and medical waste. Electronic waste (e-waste) comes under recyclable waste.

Organic Riot Dazzle Serum for Even Skin-Tone

PSCfy Partner · May 7, 2019 · Leave a Comment

I received this Organic Riot dazzle serum along with their spotlight cream. If you have followed the rantings on my blog, you would know how I never like any moisturizer ever and I am always on the lookout for a new one before I even finish the old. Please do share if you have a good recommendation for a moisturizer. Surprisingly, this time I do have a couple of very inexpensive recommendations in terms of moisturizers for dry skin.

Anyways, getting back to the product at hand, it is again a completely organic moisturizer which claims to control your hyper-pigmentation. Another thing interesting about the brand is that their packaging is made of recycled paper. Is that not impressive? Before getting into details, organic riot dazzle serum is another winner and I am definitely interested in other products they come up with.

It is interesting to note that it has kiwi seed, avocado and jojoba oils along with minor amounts of raspberry seed and tomato seed oil. I would love to get a blend of facial oil with these ingredients instead of a creme.

Did you know that your body and diet is the answer to your skin woes? Yes, the answer lies in the latest antioxidant on the block – glutathione.

Before proceeding, I would like to make a disclaimer. We strictly do not promote the concept of fairer skin. Skin in any color is beautiful and our only effort is to keep it at its best. Glutathione is a natural antioxidant occurring in our bodies which helps with uneven skin tone and fighting sun damage. An oral supplement of the same antioxidant gives faster results and younger looking skin.

Ingredients

Glutone 1000, Glutathione, N-Acetylcysteine& Vitamin C Effervescent Tablets contains world’s best Glutathione, “SETRIA Glutathione”

How is Glutathione useful for our body?

It is interesting to note that Glutathione is one of the most important antioxidant of the body. and other metabolic and biochemical reactions in the body required for the smooth functioning of all the organs especially the immune system.

Another major benefit of this antioxidant is its ability to neutralize free radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) which get generated as the by products of the chemical reactions taking place in the body. These free radicals and ROS have the ability to attach themselves to the cells and DNA in our bodies altering the chemical structure of our bodies and affecting the functioning of our organs.

Working out regularly is usually high on new year resolution lists people fail to achieve. For me, it just goes back on the list every year and then I manage to fall off the wagon every single time. Here are my 4 beginner’s tips before you start to exercise on a daily basis.

I am not an athlete by nature or have ever been involved in even medium physical activity so whenever I start exercising, I am a beginner. My physical fitness journey is pretty much limited to a yoga class, a few zumba classes and six days trial sessions at a gym.

Just like healthy living, exercise is a part of your daily routine and not just a fad to come and go.

Now that I am in my 30’s and have been through my fair share of health problems, I strongly believe in improving stamina and immunity as a motivation for beginners instead of the usual weight loss goals. In my journey towards physical fitness, I have learned the importance of these following things and would like to share a few key points to note before you start to exercise regularly.

4 Beginner’s Tips Before You Start to Exercise

Where would you like to exercise?

The first question for you to decide is where would you like to start exercising. You would like to go to a gym, take up an activity, go to a walk in the park or start exercising at home. Another factor here would be the physical activity level you are already used to in your life and your current stamina.

This winter has been uncomfortably cold for Hyderabad. Interestingly, prior to the cold was the season of allergy when almost everyone was or still is suffering from cold and cough and flu and what not. Changing seasons are hard on the body, especially when your immune system is not at its best. But, did you know that your house is making you sick?

The dust mites, mold, cockroaches and pollens could be the foremost reasons for your headaches, congestion, sinus and even mental health.The interesting part is that these culprits continue staying in your house making you sick long after the allergy season is over. The situation can worsen to trigger allergic asthma.

Usually, in these situations there is not much you can really do except trying to eliminate the dust mites, mold and pollen from your house as much as possible or prevent their entry. Beware that these miscreants can enter your house along with you, your clothes, footwear and even the windows.

6 Ways Your House is Making You Sick

Letting the Dust Accumulate

Let me start with describing my own home. We get a lot of dust owing to the fact that the area is undergoing lot of construction and the main road traffic. And, yours truly has lately been guilty of not dusting regularly which leads to a good amount of dust accumulation.

Always start dusting with a wet cloth to avoid moving the dust or spreading it into the air.
