Our #TwiceAsNice Friendship

Apoorva and me

When Apoorva told me about the #TwiceAsNice blogger activity by Garnier, I knew why she chose me. So, here is our story which makes our friendship #TwiceAsNice.

Summer 2k13, was not just another summer. One fine afternoon when I was a freshman at college and dropping this newly made friend to her destination, I discovered that this girl is not just another fellow freshman, with whom I’d be sharing my rest of the college life, in fact she’s very cool and interesting. Throughout those 20 minutes, we shared a lot of things with each other. Our conversation was full of ‘Oh! I love that too’, ‘Hey that’s my dream destination’, ‘Even I find it shit’, ‘Seriously! That’s my favorite band too’. Till the time I dropped her to her destination, I was like ‘Dude where were you the whole time?!’  No I didn’t say it on her face though. So, what next? Life became Twice As Nice.

Our leisure time was to sit on the stadium benches or under the tree shades and talk about life and dreams, and how would an excursion to NYC be afforded in the cheapest possible way. Lectures were not that important but Madilyn Bailey’s youtube covers were. And that was a savior to boring classes. Pen should or should not be in the bag, but earphones should have to be an obligatory object, as I had to keep Apoorva updated with all the hottest jams of the season, and new single releases, and she would show me the coolest Vlogs of the week. While our classmates were busy sharing notes, we were sharing music, and by sharing music I do not mean Yo yo Honey Singh’s ‘blue eyes hypnotize teri karti and menu’. Sorry not sorry, but we judge Yo Yo Honey Singh fans more than we judge students from ‘school of kandizz’. We didn’t care about our forever broke state, but more about how much would we earn if we become famous and go on a world tour. Sweltering heat didn’t bother us, as the 15 minute walk in the sun would give us ice cream from the faculty canteen, homemade pizza and rum balls from german bakers was more delicious than double cheese pizza and butterscotch mousse from Dominos, ‘Sup bitch?’ seems more polite than ‘hi, how are you?’, the lamest handmade valentine’s day card was more beautiful than any other fancy and expensive cards from Archies.

In a nutshell, everything seems #TwiceAsNice, when you’re with the best person, not for the world, but for you. It does not matter how similar and different you are from one another, but what matters is that you should help each other grow as a person, excavate the best in one another, opinions should be different but on combining the conclusion should come out as the best. Inspire, learn and laugh at each other, and that’s what I find #TwiceAsNice in a best friend.

Although our nature and thoughts contradicts a lot, but that’s what makes it #TwiceAsNice, just like the Garnier Pure Active Purifying facewash and face scrub range.

Deeply reviewing our products.

To be honest I’ve been an ardent admirer of Himalaya herbals products and I won’t shy away from saying that I’m a first time Garnier client. So yesterday when I got my package of #TwiceAsNice Garnier combo nicely packed which me and my bff tore off like animals, i.e Pure Active Neem Purifying Face Wash and Pure Active Apricot Exfoliating Face Scrub, I was quiet impressed.

Two amazing Pure Active products sent by Garnier.

First let’s talk about PURE ACTIVE NEEM PURIFYING FACE WASH:

Men’s skin is oilier as compared to women. Since I have a very oily and acne prone skin, trust me I’ve seen it all. This face wash was very gentle on my skin. The texture of the product is gel based and it is of a translucent greenish color, the smell is a blend of mint, neem and tea tree oil. The facewash lathers well, is foamy and rinses off easily. I loved the way it cleaned all the oil and dirt, leaving the skin smooth and fresh. The skin was oil free for hours, and T zones were shine free for several hours. Tea tree oil and neem is a boon for people who suffer from a lot of acne and zits, therefore this facewash is an easy remedy. This can easily be a substitute to my Himalaya neem face wash or it can even dethrone it.

PURE ACTIVE EXFOLIATING FACE SCRUB:

Exfoliation is very necessary as it removes dirt and dead skin. Hands down this is the best facial scrub I’ve used. It smells heaven. Very less scrubs have this creamy and lotion like texture which apart from scrubbing away dirt and impurities, moisturizes the skin too.

I would recommend every men and women out there to try out these two amazing products by Garnier as they are #TwiceAsNice for your skin.
