Dear Coconut Milk,
I was weary of the deceitful promises
those expensive beauty products repeatedly made and broke my heart. I was
devastated, upset and shattered until one fine day my doctor aunt introduced me
to you. Brutally honest, I wasn't willing to let you be a part of my
life that easily but her persistent attempts made me give up and while battling
with that little apprehension, naïvely I started falling for you; so much that
my beauty today is all thanks to you.
Eva Longoria is supposed to use
placenta protein for her skin radiance. Victoria Beckham is told to include
nightingale droppings into her everyday beauty routine. Had someone
familiarized them to your goodness and aura, they certainly wouldn't be
craving for such bizarre beauty regimes!

Before you made a discreet entry into
my life, I had given up on ever finding my inner beauty; the one that could set
my own heart on fire! When you walked into my life, sparks flew and I knew
instantly that it was you!

Did I hear you asking ‘why’? You must
be kidding! Well, because I love the whole kit and caboodle. You are full of
properties that are prodigious for my skin and body like Calcium, Iron, and
natural proteins clubbed with Vitamins A and C. I am absolutely obsessed with
you for being so rich and magnificent nurturing my hair and skin leaving it
supple, shiny and glowing.
You are one of the most effective
natural moisturiser on this planet and if combined with essential oils, you
create a luxurious bathing product that I highly reckon after a strenuous day.
Your presence in my life is so obstinate that I can never forget to add you
along with a few drops of your other half, the coconut oil, to my bath; which
is then followed by a massage with a body lotion enriched with your goodness
that traps the moisture in my skin. You and the coconut oil share a splendid
camaraderie and my bedtime routine is unfinished if I don't rub you both on my
hands, knees, feet and elbows totally evading the need of those expensive
manicures and pedicures. My lustrous and healthy long hair is an outcome of
those regular head massages exploiting your camaraderie. With the help of
products enriched with your goodness, I've managed to put the
freezing winters to shame! Each day, after a healthy workout at gym, my
preoccupation with the tender coconut water is purely splendid. Its powerful blend
of sugar, vitamins, antioxidants, proteins, fibre, and minerals helps render a much
needed symmetry to my body.
What more can I say! After twelve years
of togetherness, my husband says he is still crazy about me. It makes me wonder
whether he loves me because I am beautiful or am I beautiful because I am loved!
Thank you for charming me with this
magical world of natural and therapeutic beauty!
Yes, I adore you and forever will!
Love,
Me
‘They say you fall in love only once,
it can’t be true. Every time I look at you I fall in love all over again!’ Love Dobara….how romantic!
