When I got invited to Malta for a Military Heritage press trip, I really had no idea what to expect. Malta was never on my travel radar, and ‘military’ is not quite the reason I tend to choose travel destinations. My choice of travel destinations are greatly influenced by a country’s culture, gastronomic offerings, scenic trails and overall safety for women travelers. Little did I know this historically packed itinerary would encapsulate all this, and more!
Malta’s association with honey is so ancient that its very name is derived from the Roman word “Melita” meaning ‘honey-sweet’. Historians debate on whether the country got its name for its highly sought after honey, or its honey-hued stone architecture. Whichever it may be, there is no doubt that Maltese honey was considered in high regard since Roman times, and the island’s long-standing connection to apiculture (beekeeping) only grew in sophistication under Roman rule since 218 BC.
The Romans believed honey was so much more than a sweetener. They valued honey for its medicinal properties, and even used it as a valued item of trade.
As much as I love my eggs sunny side up, I often smear uncooked eggs on my face. Gotta love DIY Beauty.
This super simple face mask really does deliver on an instant, dewy glowing complexion and you probably already have all the ingredients in your pantry. And for those of you who fear the stench of raw eggs, the orange and honey really do manage to mask it up!
How quickly has this year whizzed past?! I’m missing the festive Christmas feel already. The trees may be coming down soon, but I want to keep the festive vibes alive just a little longer. One of the elements I love about Christmas is the scent of cinnamon.
No, I am not binging on leftover mince pies, got the NY resolutions coming up! Instead, I’ve incorporated cinnamon into my daily breakfast shake thanks to the Dabur Real Activ Honey with Cinnamon.
A household commodity who’s very name is used as a universal form of endearment, honey has long been a prized commodity for health and beauty. Cleopatra bathed in it, and Madame du Barry (the infamous last mistress of Louis XV) used it regularly as a face mask. Honey has been a prized nectar across timelines and cultures, and this bespoke amber liquid comes in many tastes and forms.
Izil, the Moroccan beauty brand specializing in the highly coveted Argan Oil, offers a range of all-natural beauty treatments featuring this oil. I was sent a jar of the Izil Golden Glow Face Mask, a thick sweet-smelling concoction that reminds me of an exotic Arabesque dessert.
Avocado & honey are the perfect ingredients for an indulgent health-boosting smoothie, but have you ever considered this combo as a part of your beauty regime?
I decided to smear this combo on my face. Best decision ever!
