 “Raindrops keep falling on my
head…” the catchy 1969 song sung
by B.J Thomas goes perfectly
well with the weather nowadays.
For a few minutes, the sun peeps
through the clouds and shines
down on us, but before we know it,
it goes back and hides behind the
slight drizzle or severe cloud-
bursts. While some absolutely
detest the monsoons, others quite
enjoy the pleasant weather paired
with the rainfall.
If you want to make the monsoon
months more pleasurable we have
a few ideas for you: why not host
a monsoon party? Give a shout
out to all your friends and plan a
mind-blowing house party! Have
gala time chatting, chomping down
on some delicious food, drinking
and dancing in the rain – make this
towards the sweet and savoury
tastes of India, replace the hot
chocolate with some piquant pa-
koras, samosas and garam jalebis
– yum! You can also grab a piping
cup of your favourite tea or coffee
and just sit by the window or
balcony and watch the downpour
outside.
The monsoons are considered to
be off season for tourists. So, no
matter which place you visit, you
are sure to find it empty with-
out noisy crowded vacationers
crawling all over the place! So,
use this time for a quick getaway
to give yourself a much-needed
break and come back all fresh and
rejuvenated.
Another thing to do this wet
season is harvest rainwater. Water
has now become a scarce resource
and using collected rainwater to

ON COVER
monsoon a memorable one.
Next up we just have two words
for you – hot chocolate! Get into
your comfy sweatpants and curl
up under the covers with a good
book and some delicious hot
chocolate. If you’re more inclined
carry out activities like washing
cars, watering plants and more can
help in saving more fresh water –
do your part to help our communi-
ty and planet earth.
Until next month…

SAFFRON AND LOTUS UNDER-EYE OIL FROM

VEDA EARTH
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and ability
to regenerate thus making it thinner. One of the
first places to show ageing is the skin around the
under-eye areas. That is why it is imperative to
start caring for this area as early as possible. One
such way to do it is with Vedaearth’s Saffron And
Lotus Under-Eye Oil.
A combination of naturally extracted Saffron,
Lotus, and Vetiver, this oil is completely free from
paraben, artificial fragrance and petroleum.
