Wonders of the wondernut

Today iam going to share the wonders of the wondernut.
 wondernut???you may think whats that.its nothing than a coconut.the tender coconut gives a very good refreshment to anyone.i love to taste the tender coconut water and the pulp.its so refreshing and cools the body.

mom always insists me to apply coconut oil  to my hair,as it helps in hair growth and removing stress.Applying coconut oil to the head followed with a gentle massage helps in removing mental fatigue.

whenever me or my siblings get our hands burn my mom immediately applies the coconut oil on the burns.it heals the infected part from external dust,bacteria,virus and prevents from getting scars which worked marvelously on my skin.

Coconut oil is most effective on bruises as it speeds up the healing process by repairing damaged tissues.it gives a silky texture to my hair.Mom used to apply the coconut oil on my hair from my childhood to preserve my tresses.it also prevents various stomach and digestion related problems.

 My neighbour,who is a keralite used to cook with coconut oil.I too tried with coconut oil and it tasted yum.it gave a special flavour to the food.

Thanks to the wondernut for making wonders on my skin.

It was fun participating in this contest by Women's web. Took me back in time.

Shave or crave my prince

This post is a part of the 'Shave or Crave' movement in association with BlogAdda.com

"Prabha the groom wants to meet you the park restaurant today evening"mom told when i was etting ready to office.somehow mom convinced me to meet him.

I was sitting in a restaurant waiting for him.a tall young chap came to and introduced himself as the groom.He was good looking but most of his face was covered with his beard.he had a casual chat.
he was talking about my chilhood days.then  recalled the good old school days.

when i was listening with astonishment he revealed me that he is my childhood buddy who went abroad for higher studies.
Then he asked me "How do I look now?

"Hmmm...Its a tough question indeed,because Most of your face is wrapped with your beard.I can only see your eyes"

"So will you marry me???"He raised his next question

"Hmmm" i nodded my head.

"What does this Hmmm mean?Are you thinking or reciprocating my love?" he shot another question.

"Hmmm yes baba yes" i replied.

He was so excited and jumped in joy throwing his hand in air.when he leaned forward for a hug,his bushy beard Pricked my cheek red.ahhhhhhhhh ouch.....i let out a loud cry,which dragged everyones attention towards us.That was such a embarrasing moment for him.

"I Guess you need a Razor rather than a hug or kiss right now"i murmured.

Then i showed him a clean shaved men strolling with his girl in the garden of the restaurant.then he started to move.

when can we meet next?" he asked curiously.

"After you shave your bushy beard"

"Hey you..." but he understood my feelings and from then on no more stubbling....

"Prabha wake up,its getting late"

"Oops Anothet dream huh...."i shook my head and got up to get ready for office.

Curly Wurly Hair Straightning...

Thank you Sunsilk

My neighbour's Daughter and my childhood friend trisha.she loves my hair more then hers,as i got a long silky hair.Her hair is short and curly.Most of the her friends call her with a nick like curly wurly,sparrow nest,springy hairy,amazon forest etc,which made her upset and made her feel jealousy of my hair.

she got a great attraction for my hair.but her astonishment slowly turned into envy.so whenever she gets an opportunity to comb my hair,she silently chops off few strands of  my hair.Initially i didnt realise that.Later i found her chopping my hair everytime she combs my hair.so to avoid this kinda situations i started  praising her hair.

she told me that her hair doesnt look good like mine,so i told her hair will look more beautiful than mine if it is straight.from then she started experimenting all kinda hair straightning methods.In those days there is no parlours avail for hair straightening.so she asked me for some tips to straighten her hair. i told her to try keeping some heavy books on her hair lying on the ground or tie some heavy things to hair.She tried in that way also for a week but that didnt work out.

Then one day when went to beach she started collecting pebbles while others are collecting shells.she asked me to help her in collecting pebbles.by that time i wondered why is she collecting stones.

The next day when i visited her she was tying the pebbles to her hair.when i asked her the reason.she told that she is straightning her hair using the pebbles,but that also didnt work work.
again she came back to me asking for a new way.

Then i suggested her to  cellotape her hair.One day she asked whether she can iron her hair with the iron box to straighten the hair.i was shocked.but luckily we didnt try that way.


She followed all kinda silly ways to straighten her hair but nothing helped her.After trying all the silly ways finally i found a salon for her where she got her hair straightened and looked really gorgeous...

She is nomore a curly wurly.....
