Get ready to experience the goodness of charcoal and coffee through these skincare goodies from House of Adam:

 

Wake up to the Wonders of Coffee/Caffeine 

While a cup of Joe can give you the desired energy boost, its magical properties have the power to give you the clearest and smoothest complexion of your life. According to science, coffee is a storehouse of powerful antioxidants that counteract the action of free radicals and prevent premature skin ageing. It can also calm irritated skin and prevent inflammation. Not just this! Coffee can work effectively to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the skin. 

 

Magical Charcoal to Detox Your Skin

 

Activated charcoal has the tendency to delve deeper into the pores and remove bacteria and other impurities. It works like a magnet: the toxins cling to the surface of the charcoal and get swept out along with the charcoal. Charcoal also helps to control oiliness and lighten blemishes.

Case in point; our Aloe Vera Gel with Tea Tree Oil and Aloe Vera Gel With Papaya And Saffron. The goodness of saffron can work wonders for those with dull and dark skin by counteracting pigmentation. Tea tree oil works like magic for people with sensitive skin.

Cast iron cookware is valued for its durability, high heat retention, and non-sticking cooking. But do you know that cast iron cookware traces back several centuries? Yes! Most modern cast iron utensils like Dutch ovens, pans, grills, and fryers were only invented and popularised in the last few hundred years. 

 

The History of Cast Iron 

The first known use of cast iron cookware was in China several centuries ago, during the Han Dynasty. During the 16th century, casting techniques became widespread in Europe and became a household cooking staple. The 19th century saw a boom in cast iron pots when they were made with handles or had legs to stand on the coal. This period also saw the introduction of the flat cast-iron skillet and pans with legless, flat bottoms. Cast iron fell out of favour in the 20th century as Teflon-coated aluminium non-stick cookware became a preferred choice in the kitchen.

In the 2010s, many startups started producing cast-iron cookware for specialty markets. Over the last decade, people have begun valuing these heirloom utensils again for the plethora of benefits they provide. 

 

Reasons Why Cast Iron is Becoming Popular Again

Today, cast-iron cookware from the 19th and 20th centuries has continued to see its use in contemporary kitchens. People have turned to the old cookware history of cast iron cookware for the following reasons:

 

• Cast iron cookware improves the quality of cooked meals by retaining heat evenly.
• Cast iron cookware is known to boost immunity by preventing iron deficiency. 
• Cast iron utensils last longer than stainless steel and aluminium utensils. 
• Cast iron cookware is visually appealing.
• Cast iron cookware is available in a wide range – from pans, griddles, and grills to woks and more.

 

Make a switch to these heirloom utensils by shopping from our cast iron cookware collection.

With their vibrant blossoms, enchanting fragrance, and velveteen petals, it’s no wonder why roses are regarded as the “queen of flowers.” Apart from its sheer beauty and scent, the gorgeous flower has stunning properties and benefits that make it worth cherishing now and forever.

 

Healing Properties of Rose

 

For thousands of years, people have been using roses as a remedy for certain health problems, such as colds, sore throats, gastric problems, headaches, and skin conditions. Rose is an astringent and possesses anti-inflammatory properties. Rose hips are also a good source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant known to fight free radicals and delay premature ageing. The leaves of the rose are jam-packed with tannins, making them a healthier alternative to black tea, with the same astringent effect but without caffeine. The energy-boosting rose tea can cure an upset stomach in a jiffy.

Roses are also known for their beauty-enhancing virtues. Rose toner, rose essential oil, or rose water can do wonders for the skin. Its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties brighten the pores, balance the pH of the skin, and calm irritated skin.

 

Potential Health Benefits of Roses

 

Whether used as dried, preserved, distilled, oil, or powder, roses are known to bestow the following benefits:

 

• Rose essential oil reduces the severity of menstrual cramps and fights negative emotions.
• Reduce inflammation of the eyes and skin.
• Rose tea has a calming effect on the throat, mind, and heart. 
• Rose toner eliminates dark circles and slows down skin aging.
• Rose skincare products regulate moisture levels in the skin, ensuring it stays hydrated and healthy.

 

Roses are celebrated flowers and are considered a symbol of beauty, love, and luxury. The amazingly aromatic flower also has enormous health benefits – from relieving stress to boosting menstrual health. So, simply don’t smell the roses but make them a part of your everyday life. And don’t forget to shop our La vie En Rose Collection!

It is rightly said that building immunity starts in your kitchen. Every aspect of the kitchen, right from herbs and spices to hygiene practices and utensils used, plays an important role in developing our immunity. Since the global pandemic outbreak shook the world, people are becoming more mindful of their health. They are trying every possible way to keep their immune systems strong. One common practice everyone seems to follow these days is the use of cast iron kitchen products. 

 

Cast Iron: The Trend of Heirloom Kitchen Utensils is Back!

The popularity of cast iron has picked up since the outbreak of the novel COVID-19 virus. The reason behind this can be attributed to the fact that iron-containing cookware prevents iron deficiency in the body. This key nutrient boosts haemoglobin levels, which in turn increases the oxygen supply to the damaged cells and tissues. This subsequently strengthens the immune system and prevents viral infections.

 

Why Switch to Cast Iron?

 

1. Cast iron kitchen products like ours are safe, economical, and durable. 
2. From frying pans, grill pans, and induction pans to pots, woks, and griddles, iron cookware product varieties are endless. 
3. Our cast iron pans are naturally non-stick. They allow for even distribution of heat and do not alter the taste of the food being cooked.
4. Cast iron cookware is healthy and can last for years to come.

So, why not dump non-stick ware and switch to cast iron? Explore our range of cast iron products and select the best ones for your kitchen.

Roses are one of the most loved of all flowers and for all the good reasons. Roses are known for their symbology of beauty and love and are even honoured for their scent, cosmetic value, and medical benefits. 

History And The Healing Power of Rose 

Those gorgeous pink and red florals of the Rosacea family come from a period 35–70 million years ago. Roses in the ancient Mediterranean were symbols of luxury and beauty. During that time, they were used in perfumes, wine, incense, food, and garlands. The ancient times also regarded roses as an important medicinal ingredient. Dried rose petals made an effective remedy for fungal infections back then. A mixture of rose oil and butter served as a remedy for dysentery. Not just this! The juice from rose petals was used to heal canker sores. 

Roses in the Modern Era

In 1867, Jean-Baptiste André Guillot, a French horticulturist, created the hybrid tea rose “La France”. In 2006, the world’s most expensive rose, “Juliet,” was cultivated by David Austin. The flower took 15 years to breed and cost $3 million. The demand for roses has undoubtedly increased over the years. Today, roses are not just hailed for their aesthetic beauty but also for their medicinal value, just like in the past. The “rose hip”, a part of the rose flower located just below the petals, is jam-packed with vitamin C and is extensively used in jellies and jams.

Dried rose petals, a powerhouse of antioxidants, are used to prepare herbal tea concoctions. The polyphenols in rose tea are widely known to reduce the risk of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.

Not to mention, rose water, rose essential oil, and rose soaps have significantly changed the beauty space and helped people move towards cleaner and natural beauty.
