I’m back, baby!

So, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on my blog. But I’ve finally compartmentalised and made time to write (now that I’m a freelancer). A few things have happened to me since I was last seen here:

1. I’m oldFrom the last time you heard from me here, I’ve grown a bunch of years older. Now, I know. Everyone does. But my body thinks it’s 70 easy. I legit have had some serious health issues, of which I will bore you in the next few blogposts. Basically I walk like an old person (slowly, with small steps and hand on my back) and can’t sit in 3D movies as I’ve got vertigo issues. Told you I was old.

2. I’ve grown wiserI joined MissMalini a few years ago, and man, did I learn a thing or two about the digital universe. It’s vast, but ironically, there’s room for everyone. So, I learned how to generate good content, deal with stressful situations, multitask, adhere to deadlines, analyse data and also, I learned to love what I do.

3. I got hitched A part of adulting I actually liked. All the other stuff, I’m still struggling with, TBH. Going from a house where tea was served in bed by mom to making seriously questionable kettle Chai half asleep isn’t easy. It takes some serious commitment to adult. I’m trying though. What helps is I have a companion to share the load and to also tolerate my annoying OCDs. God bless the poor kid. He didn’t know what he got into.Now that you’re all caught up, let’s get onto the new series of content I’m dying to write about…

I’ll be posting frequently starting tomorrow.

So, watch this space for a lot more!

Happy skin, happy you!

I have been dealing with adult acne and oily skin for a while now.. Also, being a blogger, I constantly travel and apply make up.. I needed a permanent fix to my skin related problems.. Enter Richfeel!

Let me tell you a little bit about their products that I tried personally.. 

Let’s start with the skin whitening facial kit.. 

It consists of 5 different bottles, each specialising in different kinds of skin issues.. 

This has to be used in 5 simple steps.. 

Step #1: skin cleanser

This needs to be applied on clean skin and massaged on your face. It internally removes stale make up and other dirt/pollution

Step #2 : whitening scrub

This removes all the stubborn dirt, and gently exfoliates the skin leaving it silky smooth

Step #3 : take a facial steam and then apply Whitening gel

This immediately hydrates the skin after the steam

Step# 4 : whitening massage cream

This adds nourishment to the skin

Step # 5 : whitening pack

This is the final touch.. It cleanses the skin with an amazing glow! 

My skin has never felt so cleansed and fresh before! This is skin detox if you ask me..

I’d recommend this at least once! 

MRP: Rs. 1400/- 
Next, let’s talk about the Richfeel Brahmi Hair Pack

I tried this after an extremely hectic day post shoot.

This is specially formulated for dry brittle and damaged hair.. As we all know Brahmi is an excellent substance for hair nourishment! 

My hair got super silky after this and I can’t stop touching my hair ever since I’ve applied this!! 

MRP: Rs. 600/-
Lastly, for my Acne problems: Calendula Soap
This dries up the pimples and doesn’t let them return! 

MRP: Rs. 80/-

Thanks to Richfeel, I can now safely say that my skin has never felt better! It feels nourished, fresh and leaves me with an amazing glow!!

When your supporting piece becomes a statement..

Jackets have always been a great balance to all kinds of outfits.. As we all know, layering up is key in fashion.. 

It tends to give your outfit volume and structure.. 

But when your layer becomes your statement, there’s nothing else to do but SLAY!

Silly People Co have mastered the shirt hoodies to perfection.. With every striking detail.. 

I’m in love with this hoodie because it can be worn in so many different ways.. 

From dresses, to denims, to skirts! There is no limit to its versatility.. 

Buy the shirt here!

Plaid shirts are ones to watch out for this season!

It’s always been a classic.. But Silly People Co have given it an interesting spin.. The shirt that I’m sporting here, comes with a fun hoodie!! 

I’m a fan of the classic hoodie.. But hoodie+plaid shirt = fashion statement

You could team this up with so many different options to create different looks!

Team it up with a complete white supporting base to make it stand out like I have.

You could also go in for a complete black base like my sister, Khushi has..

It will also look super cool with jogger denims..
And if you’re in the mood to experiment, you could also try it with a shirt dress, or any solid colour dress of your choice.. 

This shirt is so versatile !

Kari Craves: I suggest you to team it up with jogger denims and tan brogues for a fun mix of looks..

Step aside, sweet butter chicken.. I’ve discovered the real deal..

I was craving Indian food but I’m so sick of the standard sweet butter chicken and black dal.. 

I then discovered a place called Indie Villa in Andheri West.

This place is a modest one.. With a typical Delhi vibe.. Quite a paradox, yes ?

Well that’s what we loved about it.. 

There are 3 partners (Siddhant, Shivam and Majid). Two from Delhi and another from Mumbai.. 

I have been told that the chefs have been scouted from the famous lanes of Delhi to give Mumbaikars a taste of authentic Delhi Punjabi food. A few dishes too have been inspired and brought from the very famous chandni chowk and a few known dhabas there. For example their Tawa Chicken is made out of the spices bought from Delhi. 

I love when restaurants understand the power of details.. 
Their signatures include famous Naan Turnovers, authentic Butter Chicken(not sweet like how we get it here) Tawa Chicken made from masalas called and sourced from Delhi. 

I tried a number of dishes.. Let’s start with the first one.. 

1) The Rosali Kebab

These tikkas were stuffed with cheese 😱! Need I say more?!

I could taste Delhi in every bite!! 
2) The Veg Platter

This platter consisted of Paneer Kurkure (my recommendation for sure!!) , mushroom tikka and Hara Bhara Kebab.. 
3) The mutton bhuna turnover ❤️

I’m in love with this.. I could walk back to Andheri for one of these .. It is a must try..
4) The Beetroot Halwa

This was nothing like what I expected.. I generally hate beetroot.. But if you’re at Indie Villa, do try this beauty.. The taste of asli ghee will make you drown into it..

Tropical monsoons with silly people..

Monsoons always remind me of tropical colours and prints! 

Silly People Co. have nailed it with this cute tropic printed dress. It’s got a cute detailing of the shoulders that make this dress look simple, yet dainty.. 

This print is so refreshing to wear and goes perfectly with my nude wedges..

It could also be worn with white sneakers to give it a sporty look.. 

Kari Craves: make sure to neutralise your accessories and let the dress be the hero in your #ootd !
