“I was always attracted not by some quantifiable, external beauty, but by something deep down, something absolute. Just as some people have a secret love for rainstorms, earthquakes, or blackouts, I liked that certain undefinable something.“ Haruki Murakami The most challenging facet of doing something creative for a living is the constant thirst for inspiration….
Brand Favourites – Makeup Revolution London
With such a seamless variety of drugstore brands being launched in India recently, there is temptation at every turn — or better still — every scroll! Spoilt for choice and overloaded with impressions from the blogger community, it has become increasingly confusing to understand what to finally invest in when the time arrives. I often spend sleepless…
What I’m Lovin’ – Bath, Body & Beauty
In an insta post, I wrote — I’ve always starved for connection, not attention. And, as much as that’s true, every girl has her attention seeking moments. She loves to dress up — but what she loves more, is that moment when the world notices it. It makes her feel beautiful. I know that we must never depend…
I’ve got a Dream
‘Way down deep inside, I’ve got a dream‘ — sings Rapunzel (in Tangled) with all the thugs, ruffians and thieves who seem to go all warm and fuzzy when she asks them in all her spirited innocence — ‘Don’t any of you have a dream?!‘ Some of us grow up knowing exactly what we want to do…
Wake up, baby
“It’s not as if our lives are divided simply into light and dark. There’s shadowy middle ground. Recognizing and understanding the shadows is what a healthy intelligence does. And to acquire a healthy intelligence takes a certain amount of time and effort.” After Dark, Murakami I open my eyes, and there you are. I can’t…

The beauty of dressing down
The day you take an hour to dress up, do your hair, manicure your nails, and wear the attitude — will be the day your life will be the most ordinary. ♥ A few years ago, I was all about the colours, the florals, the bright lip, the coral blush and the pink shadow. So, it’s…
Current Favourites – Beauty
It’s been a while since I did a round-up of my current beauty favourites from the drugstore world, something I always plan to do but never get around to it because I feel like such posts are boring to write and boring to read. At the same time, I want you to know what’s keeping…
