Tickle your taste buds with Box 8 #PizzaPartyWithBox8 #Box8Pizza

   Box 8 is an on demand food delivery company of Indian origin which has become a common household name since its inception in 2012, when it first started as a small outlet in a corporate cafeteria to now when they boast of more than fifty outlets spread across Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore.

   Box 8 introduced a lip smacking range of pizzas to add to their munchtastic menu a few months ago and I got a chance to try a few of their variants. The order that I received from Box 8 contained a Country Roads Pizza with original crust in regular size, a Flame Thrower and a Paneer Tikka Pizza, both with cheese blast ( crust ) in medium size and a bottle of mineral water. Below is a comprehensive review of the same.

   Each of Box 8 pizzas were separately packed in attractive and quirky cardboard boxes having a pizza themed print. One can smell the aroma of the pizzas even without opening these boxes which made me want to pounce on the box, but I resisted the urge of doing so, so that I could quickly take a few snapshots of these pizzas to upload with this blog post. All the three pizzas looked very colorful, breathtakingly delicious and were loaded with twice the cheese and twice the toppings. All the variants tasted yummy with the Flame Thrower being a favorite of my taste buds. The small sachets of chili flakes and oregano mix added to the flavor without overpowering the original taste of the pizzas. The pizzas and particularly the cheese blast ones were very filling. The huge number of variants ( 20 as of now ), both, vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian and different crust options do a good job of pleasing different palates and moods.

   Quick delivery of placed orders and various competent modes of placing the order - Phone, Website and Mobile app make Box 8 a convenient choice. Another great thing about Box 8 is that most outlets are open till midnight, a few till 1 am making it perfect to satisfy late night hunger pangs! Pricing of all the products on their menu, in general, is very affordable to the common man with the frequent offers by the company serving as a bonus and a chance to call over friends for an impromptu budget friendly #PizzaPartyWithBox8! The only negative point with Box 8 is that it's limited to serving in 3 cities only at the moment, but they're expanding fast and who knows soon might go live throughout India.

   Country Roads Pizza: Red Paprika, Baby Corn, Onions.

   Paneer Tikka Pizza: Paneer Cubes, Capsicum, Tomato, Onions.

   Flame Thrower Pizza: Red Paprika, Spicy Jalapenos, Golden Corn, Capsicum, Tomato.

   Pros:

Product Review - Aster Luxury Soaps - Saffron and Neem Aloe Vera

   Cleansing products form the most basic part of grooming essentials for a person without which an optimal level of personal hygiene cannot be maintained. I am always on the lookout to try new shower gels and soaps and recently came across products from Aster Luxury Soaps. Aster Luxury Soaps produces premier handmade bathing soaps which are made using all natural ingredients sourced from authentic buyers and used only after going through stringent quality control methods. These are available in a vast range, come in opaque as well as transparent form and also scented or unscented variety.

Reviewing the Aster Luxury Soaps in two variants - Saffron and Aloe Vera below today to see how they fare and fit into my daily routine.

   Saffron Fragrance Oil in Saffron soap and Neem Aloe Vera Fragrance Oil in Neem Aloe Vera soap.

   Aster Luxury Soaps come doubly packed in a transparent plastic wrap with information stickers stuck on its front and back side. The brand name and the variant can be found on the front side while the ingredients, manufacturing details, price are mentioned on its backside. The soaps are compact, attractively colored and simply but elegantly packed. The saffron variety has an translucent amber color with a few saffron strands incorporated on one of its surfaces while the neem aloe vera soap is green in color.
   Each of the two soaps that I am reviewing here were strongly scented and smelled natural yet absolutely divine, the saffron variant being my favorite amongst the two. The soaps give out strong fragrance while bathing, which enhances the experience of using them. Both the variants lather abundantly and give an instant cooling sensation when applied to the skin. The soaps cleanse the skin well, are easy to rinse off and do not leave a creamy residue on the body. The soaps make the mind and body feel refreshed after their use and help the skin stay soft and supple. It doesn't strip the skin of its natural oils, though sometimes leaves a few tiny patches of dry skin, mandating the use of a moisturizer. The soap has to be kept away from sources of water, as it dissolves quite quickly. Nonetheless it lasted for around 20 days for me, which isn't bad considering the weight of the soap.
   Aster Luxury Soaps are handmade and are free from artificial ingredients like parabens, phthalates, SLS and SLES. They also don't contain any animal product or alcohol. None of the soaps are tested on animals. Since these are made of entirely natural organic ingredients, they are hypoallergenic and can be used by people of all skin types alike! Price-wise, these soaps are on the higher side of the spectrum. Aster luxury soaps can be easily purchased through the company's own website and also through all the major online retail sites.

   Pros:

- Simple, compact, attractive and travel friendly packaging.

- Available in unscented as well as mild to strongly scented varieties.

- Lathers abundantly.

- Gives a cooling sensation to the skin.

- Cleanses the skin well.
- Easy to rinse off.
- Does not leave a creamy residue on the skin.

- Skin feels refreshed after use.
- Keeps skin soft and supple.
- Does not strip natural oils of skin.
- Each soap lasts for around 20 days.
- Made from natural ingredients.
- Soaps are hypoallergenic, thus can be used by people with all skin types.
- Cruelty free products.
- Does not contain parabens, phthalates, SLS, SLES, alcohol, animal ingredients or chemicals of any kind.
- Available in form of gift packs, perfect to present to loved ones.
- Ease of availability.

   Cons:

- Occasionally leaves few tiny patches of skin dry and flaky, especially in winter.
- Dissolves quite quickly.

- Price is on higher side.

   Verdict: 4.25/5. These wonderfully scented, refreshing cleansing soaps are perfect to turn a rather mundane daily chore of bathing into a blissful experience!
