Long & Strong

| IN THE SPOTLIGHT

we speak to maham iqbal of brewbarrel oils about her miraculous cold pressed oils. ing BrewBarrel Oils, firstly in the family, then friends and eventually to everyone.

How did Brewbarrel oils come to life?

As a teenager, I was always fond of trying herbal hair treatments to maintain my hair. After the birth of my daughter Hanie, I suffered extreme hair fall, hair breakage and split ends. This made me study in detail the fruits,vegetables and herbs that can naturally regrow, give strength and improve hair quality. Like a "good wife" I started applying the same on my husband's hair who was suffering hairfall.

Both of us experienced that this improved recipe clearly showed results in just a few applications.

He's the one who suggested start54

PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE

2018

Is this a special recipe created by you or a family recipe?

The root of BrewBarrel Oils is my mothers recipe, who used to tell me different oils need to be applied for different reasons. She often used to burn almonds in Desi Ghee, and then apply it to my hair. The passion for haircare comes from there, although the final recipe is something that took alot of research and was improved over a period of time. The end result being a single oil solving all hair problems, rather than applying multiple ones.

So it's 50/50!

What makes your oil stand out and how are they different from all the other oils?

If we talk about the technique then the base oil for both our products is Coldpressed. I intend to keep it that way for all the products we plan to expand in as it keeps the essential nutrients of the fruit/vegetable in the oil.

The "Brew" from the BrewBarrel is actually the brewing technique used in making the oil.

It is slowly heated on a certain temperature and brewed for 6 hours, then left over night to ferment. Apart from the technique, our oils are a combination of literally all the herbal ingredients that aid in hair solutions in the perfect ratio.

What ingredients do you use for your oil?

Starting from the three core ingredients, Virgin Olive Oil, Cold pressed Coconut Oil and ( this mite surprise you) Desi Ghee.

Onions, Avacado, Aloe vera are some of the major ingredients used in different forms either as an extract , a cream or pulp. The herbs majorly include cinnamon, fenugreek, blackseed, amla, seekakai, henna, lemon grass, curry leaves and dried rose petals. All obviously in different oils for different purposes.

Do you make the oil yourself or do you have a team of people?

I'm not going to lie about this, i'm a perfectionist. More importantly i dont trust people easily , so even though i have help, the oil till the moment it starts to the moment its poured into the bottles is all done by myself. I take alot of responsibility for something that has my name on it and i want the quality and ratios to be exactly the same as the finalized recipe! What i do take help in is answering the phonecalls, facebook messages, tagging and delivering!

I’ve used this oil and I could feel immediate results. Is this a miracle?

Alhamdulilah! When you work hard and with honesty, Allah rewards you! You see, I'm also giving back through this. We dont realize but Hairfall, early greying, and dull lifeless hair are actual problems that effect an individual's quality of life.

People i know have been to doctors eating medicines, applying capsules and what not! I'm so glad to have come up with something totally natural and herbal to cure them.

Are you planning to launch any other organic products under your brand ?

In about a week or so you will see us launching all herbal, mild, hair and massage oils for children! I'm making samples nowadays, not only will they be hair oils but body massage oils. We want nothing but the best for our children, be it organic chicken, vegetables or fresh farm milk! Then why apply packaged lotions and oils with articial moisturizers and scents?

What would you like to say to our Paperazzi followers?

We at BrewBarrel Oils are passionately working to solve all your hair problems. Please visit us on our Facebook page, make an appointment, give us a chance. We are open to suggestions of products you want to replace by organic ones. We will try our best to give you an all natural and organic replacement.

Lastly, whatever field you are in, don't forget to be honest and loyal to your work and yourself. Thankyou Paperazzi.

They keep you focused, pick you up when you are down and are always there which is simply priceless. You may be hating them sometimes but that’s only because you love them.

Travelling is great fun. You get to explore a new place, meet new people and get wiser! We want to know more and will share with you exciting travel stories from a few special people in our section, planes, trains & automobiles!

Where did you choose to go and why?

I chose to go to Baku, Azerbaijan, the cultural heritage sites of the city are not to be missed.

Who did you travel with?

I never travel alone so I took my best friend Xille Huma with me to this trip.

Where did you stay?

I stayed at Four Seasons, it was truly an amazing experience. The hotel had breathtaking views to the Caspian Sea and the old city.

What are the best shopping spots there?

travel diaries

Nizami Street was a large pedestrian and shopping street in downtown Baku, Azerbaijan.

You will definitely find whatever your heart desires there along with some delicious places for food.

Suggest some amazing restaurants there?

The Mugham Club was one of the most happening places I’ve ever visited, It had an Azeri, Middle Eastern and Turkish cuisine. The antique building, with similarly authentic interior, had great atmosphere and complimented the live dance performances that took place there. If you are a Lebanese food lover then you should definitely visit the restaurant “WHITE HOUSE� on Nizami street as well.

Suggest places for a perfect night out Buddha Bar, Energy and Infinity are the best places for a night out.

What can you do over there to relax and unwind?

Baku itself is a sight for sore eyes, but there is a Fountain Square in Baku, which is very relaxing and calming to sit at a table and watch the world go by at this pedestrianized square, nice places to eat and drink.

Finally, any tips?

To visit Azerbaijan, ideal months are April to June when the lands are green and skies are clear blue. October is also a nice month to visit Baku as the maximum and minimum temperatures do not witness any extremities. The days are warm and the nights, pleasant. Also, Azerbaijan's rich historical, cultural and natural heritage makes it a truly outstanding and unique destination.

birthday girls Combined with a strong wit and a love of humor, the Capricorn makes terrific company for those they choose as friends. They will surround themselves with people who are honest, loyal, and likeminded when it comes to working values. They cherish loved ones and will go any distance to help out a friend or family member.

There is so much positive activity this coming week that it could be very productive for you. For instance, when determined Mars, your ruler, links to fervent Pluto, you might be willing to put a lot of effort into a goal that is of prime importance. Once you take that first step, it could begin to snowball. The right people and the right timing can also show up to assist you in other ways. The weekend could see you adopting a more independent path.

New opportunities are going to continue to beckon for some weeks and even months to come, but this week things could take a turn in a new direction. You could find you’re almost propelled along a new path by events or the encouragement of another. In fact, your friends and loved ones can be instrumental in pushing you forward into new adventures.

However, as lovely Venus aligns with fervent Pluto, don’t try to push events before they’re ready to happen. Allow things to flow naturally.

Business affairs could go swimmingly over this week, and with some effort in the right places you could go far. You could even see some powerful transformations occurring to your finances through your own work and determination.

Be prepared to be led forward by a series of events and encounters that could be very practical yet extremely exciting. Mercury, your guide planet, moves into Capricorn and this, too, could see you handling money and business in a very skillful way.

The week ahead could be filled with powerful interactions that build new relationships and enhance those you already have. Leisure and pleasure options could also bring you closer to others, as you may be eager to share your fun times with them. You might be drawn to collaborate with certain people on new projects, and this can be very rewarding for you. Setting firm boundaries could be key, though, as a potent Venus-Pluto link suggests someone may push for their intended outcome.

You might be ready to make some lifestyle changes that could affect you and your family for the better.

A very lively blend of energies hints that making a start now could see you transforming your own health and perhaps that of others.

In particular, a link between stirring Mars and fervent Pluto might encourage you to make a clean sweep. This could mean altering your diet or perhaps exercise routine in a very radical way. Once you’ve made up your mind, there may be no going back.

There seem to be so many ideas available to you, as well as an opportunity to collaborate with others. This could be a very busy and promising week that gets 2018 off to a wonderful start.

It isn’t a time to hold back and keep things yourself. Rather, share your thoughts and allow others to contribute. This process could be very creative for all involved, and might result in projects and plans that greatly benefit everyone and even prove very lucrative.

You might need to use your powers of persuasion to convince family members that your ideas are in their best interests. With both the sun and lovely Venus aligning with passionate Pluto, certain others may have their own agenda, and this could delay your plans. In the end, you might have to prove it to them by making a start and letting them see for themselves. Once they do, you may find that they back you wholeheartedly. Try to be flexible with your social plans over the weekend.

You could be on a personal mission over the days ahead, and this might show through your dedication and determination to turn an idea into reality. It might seem as though you need to be very persuasive to convince others to join you, but this might not be necessary at all. Your sheer enthusiasm might be what encourages others to come on board. What results from this could bring positive outcomes that truly benefit everyone. And with feisty Mars in your sign aligning with expansive Jupiter, anything is possible.

Your understanding and knowledge of your inner life and thoughts and feelings can have a direct influence on your finances.

The more confidence you have in yourself, the more this will be reflected in your ability to enhance your income and feel secure. The presence of expansive Jupiter in your spiritual sector suggests that hiring the services of a life coach or other professional could be helpful, as he or she might be able to help you move beyond any perceived limits and feel even more abundant.

Your social life continues to be very buoyant and positive. And you seem to have friends in positions of power or authority who can be a great help to you at this time.

With both feisty Mars and jovial Jupiter in your friendship zone, key alignments to planets in your sign could see you making fabulous progress with their help. In addition, you have much experience to add to the mix, and this combination can be perfect for creating much success.

There are times in life when it pays to dig within and get to know oneself in greater depth. In your case, doing so could bring about positive experiences and insights that fuel your goals and aspirations. The coming weeks and months can be a great time to overcome any limitations that may be preventing you from living to your fullest potential. This week could see you trusting an intuitive nudge that turns out to be quite lucrative for you

With dynamic Mars aligning with expansive Jupiter in your sector of travel and adventure, you could be fired up with ideas that may require a leap of faith. However, with the help of your friends, you could find that you have the courage to do whatever is required of you. They may be only too willing to join forces with you and lend you courage and support.

However, avoid any impromptu purchases over the weekend, because the sun’s link with restless Uranus could encourage you to splurge.
