Rosewater and It's Benefits ..!!

"I saw fairies in my rose garden, Playing, spreading sweetest smell, that struck me like a magic. 

So I felt like a fairy without any wings. I danced and played with strange little creatures, pretend blowing some pixie dust. I touched their skin soft as red petal , I asked their secret and they whispered real slow "When misty morning is about to arrive, when morning star still shining bright, when dewdrops meets the prettiest rose kiss it like you're blessing them both"

Rose and dewdrops are related mystically. They carry beautiful secrets beyond our imagination. 

I still remember when I was in Art College my roommate and my best friend told me that her aunt is pregnant and her grandfather is making her drink only rose water which was prepared in their farm by their workers, and when we saw her aunt she was glowing like a 100 watt bulb with rosy pink cheeks. We were so desperate but unfortunately we didn't have rose garden or you can say farm growing roses only for our lost in dust beauty, nor have money to afford men, as we were more broke than Max and Caroline :/ So as I was more desperate XD I searched about rosewater and found out about so many things which I never knew, so we three marketeers ended up buying this,

Yes these pure rosewater spray bottles, and big bottle of rosewater so we can refill our spray bottles, soon we became addict of rosewater. I know I know it's hard to believe but hell yes we were addicted, in bus, in college, in our room, we were spray rose water on our face neck anywhere possible XD as it was so refreshing, it's smell use to make us fresh during our long ass days in college. And then something happened everyone was just complimenting our skin, I still remember friends saying to me "what the heck is with your skin after three four hours of painting studio you still look fresh your makeup is fresh whats the secret?" I was like "I'm broke but still I made it ;)"
