ezebee.com: Let’s get to know it better!

Hello everybody!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend! I spent mine browsing through an amazing new online shopping website, ezebee.com. I must tell you it has been a great experience. So let me run you through all the features of ezebee.com so that you can shop from here, too.

In a nutshell, ezebee.com is an online shopping website where artisans can sell products for fair prices worldwide. It is easy to register and opening your own showroom to sell products is absolutely free, too!
The website has four main categories
Marketplace
This is the tab that you must click if you are looking to buy some gorgeous products. From handmade products to upcycled projects, this market place is full of gorgeous products. I enjoyed the upcycled section the most and I intend to buy the vinyl bookend soon as I love it! 

They also have a section called today’s featured showroom on their home page which is a display of some of the best products that ezebee.com has to offer.
Community

The community comprises of groups, forums and their e-mag where you can interact with like-minded people. Sharing, learning and innovating are the hallmarks of this community and I particularly liked their forum section containing helpful tidbits! The magazine too is beautifully edited and I enjoyed going through their articles.

Classifieds

This is the section where you can post your requirements or offer something on sale. It could be anything from perfumes to even apartments. Posting in Classifieds is an easy way to sell items online without opening a shop, this could work for a temporary sale or for items unrelated to one another.
People

The last feature of ezebee.com is the ‘People’ tab where you can befriend and follow other creatives and interact with them to build your network connections. You can also discover which of you friends are active on ezebee.com as well.
Some other unique features of this website are as follows:
You can get your free website in minutes along with your online shop! I personally tried setting up one and it really did take 5 minutes!

Being a blogger, I was happy to know that ezebee.com has a widget that would allow me sell my products from my blog or my Facebook page with the ezebee facebook shop app.
They also have their own currency called the EZB’s that you can use to make international transactions easily. One EZB is equivalent to one dollar and if you buy them in bulk, you get a great discount, too! You can also earn the EZB’s for free by being active on the website!
Now enough about the website, I am going to show you the cool products that I found here that would make you want to log on to the website and start buying the products right away!

Talvar Movie Review

There are very few movies that manage to capture the essence of an event, remain unbiased and make the audience think as well. Talvar is one of those rare movies that has managed to get this right

The film presents two different view points; one that the parents are guilty and two that the servants are guilty leaving the audience to decide what theory they support. And even though the movie starts off by being unbiased; towards the end one can clearly see who the director sympathizes the most. I have to say; I completely agree with the director. One powerful statement made by Ashwin (played by Irrfan) which really made me think was that one should let 10 criminals go scot free but never punish a single a person who is innocent.

One might think that with Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma starring in the film; everybody else would be overshadowed but surprisingly the entire cast has managed to come together to give a stellar performance. My favourite was Neeraj Kabi as Shruti’s father and Tabu in her cameo role as Irrfan Khan’s wife. Konkona was wonderful as always and you sympathize with her character; a woman who has just lost a child and has not been given enough to time to grieve over it

 The film does not have any unnecessary songs or forced comic elements. There is dry humour sprinkled all over the film but that gels well with the characters. The film also takes a stand on yellow journalism and goes on to show how the media sensationalized each and every aspect of the case

This movie, if not anything, will definitely force you think. All of us who were passively reading about the news reports would now go back and try to glean more information about how this case has shaped up over the years. I for one spent a good amount of time reading up older news articles and found that many of the incidents portrayed in the film are actually true. Watch this film for a fresh perspective on the murder mystery that captured a nation’s imagination.

Don’t miss the film. Do watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQNMsw8Ljjc Have a look at this video, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmCSvu03wSY

Add warmth to your winter bedrooms

In hot summer days, a cotton bed sheet is enough to enjoy a deep and relaxing slumber. Beautiful bed sheet adorned with nice pillow sets, cushions is a great way to make your bedroom look stylish in summers. Summer bed adornments are not sufficient to save you from chilled gruesome winter weather and you must add few extra layers to face the coldest nights of winter months. Here are few ways to add style, coziness and warmth to your winter hideaway.

 If you are the type of person who loves to spend lazy winter afternoons in bed, you must some comfy pillows and warm big blankets.  You can search for appropriate cozy blankets for winters on the Internet shopping websites. There are arrays of designs patterns and colours available on online stores.

You can use thin blankets are runners on table. Use your creativity and create layers to add style to your bedrooms.

Usually we use quilts or comforters on beds, but you can consider them as décor accessory this fall. You can hang a creative, big quilt on the wall to create a focal point.

It is a great idea to invest in pillows with a lot of texture. You can pile them on sofa or bed with a warm blanket.

Buyers look for designer bedding sets, comforters and winter blankets online. These bed adornments can be purchased on best prices during online home sale.

Say hello to Aplava.com

Heya! I hope you guys are enjoying two back to back giveaways on my blog! We are going to have 8 really lucky winners who will walk away with some cool goodies. Anyway, enough of promoting my giveaway; let’s get straight to this post!
Today I am going to introduce a brand new website that has some of the most interesting brands available along with features like My Beauty Score and Expert Advice. Let’s get to know Aplava better.
 
About Aplava
Aplava derives its name from sanskrit origins. Aplava (pronounced “AAp luv” in original sanskrit) means taking a bath to purify oneself. It’s an ablution process of cleansing oneself. Just as the name suggests, Aplava wants to give its customers an experience of divine purity. They believe that Beauty is you!
Website review
Aplava sells a combination of household brands and niche, luxurious beauty brands on its website and has a wide range of products to suit every skin type. They say that their team of dermatologists and beauty advisors have handpicked the products to be featured on the website across categories.
 
The website looks appealing and inviting and I had great fun wish listing some of the products they had. I even went through the Beauty Score questionnaire which is fairly basic. According to my skin and hair type, I was recommended certain products which were surprisingly pretty good.
 
They also have an ‘Ask the Beauty expert section’ where you can send in your skin concerns. I am yet to explore this bit.
Since it is a fairly new website, it does have some glitches. For example certain categories, though listed, do not have any products at all. Also, you do not have the option to click on a product and read about it as of now. But I am sure the hardworking team is doing its best to sort it out!
So what is the Aplava advantage?
Unlike other beauty retailers, they work directly with our manufacturers/authorized distributors to bring you over 3,000 products straight from the brands themselves. You can trust that anything you buy is 100% authentic, guaranteed.
Authentic products is something that everyone wants and I think Aplava is doing a great job in bringing some amazing brands to India!
In my part two of the review, I will share my shopping experience with you!

Stay tuned J
