Honey Sample Status

My first encounter with 'Melissa' Honey campaign in our neighbourhood promotion.

Two bottles of Acacia samples were given to our neighbourhood friend after identifying the root cause of her skin problems. 'Pimples' or 'Acne' is one of the main irritant in teens and young age for women. It blocks the facial charm of the women and embarasses them to no extent. On a trial from six months now, my friend is on clinical administration of Himalayan Acacia Honey and I am gonna update her facial status after 6 months of successful consumption.

International Women's Day!


MY EXPRESSIONS!
  1. What would men be without women? Scarce, sir, mighty scarce.
  2. Despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, I have not yet been able to answer the great question that has never been answered:What does a woman want? - Sigmund Freud
  3. A woman is like a tea bag - you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. - Eleanor Roosevelt
  4. A beautiful woman must expect to be more accountable for her steps, than one less attractive.
  5. By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacation-less class.
  6. Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men. - Joseph Conrad
  7. The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.
