Hi ,after the long silence I left you in,I'm sorry.From now on, I will post pages on a regular basis.Anyways... I have another Tidbit for all our lovely ladies and pretty girls here.Did you know: Kajal/Surma/ Kohl dates back to the Bronze Age when the Indian queens wore it in the eye as protection against infections. In addition, mothers would apply kohl to their infants' eyes soon after birth. Some did this to "strengthen the child's eyes", and others believed it could prevent the child from being cursed by the Evil eye. When I was a baby, my great-grandmother prepared a homemade batch of Kajal, and my mother applied it.

Kajal:- A mixture of sandalwood paste,castor oil and ghee was left overnight in a burning diya and pure Kajal was ready for use the next morning. Isn't it amazing that herbal Kajal can be so useful?Aren't the queens clever!I was amazed that as soon as I heard it, I dashed upstairs, grabbed a stick of Kajal, and begged my mom to put it on.It was so soothing to my eyes.You should try it too. Try Kajal today!
