Ever since I was a teen, I have been grappling with migraines. Some so intense that it would leave me out of action for at least 3-4 days.While the antibiotics provided the momentary relief, when the effect of the drugs were reducing, the searing pain would be back with a vengeance. The episode of migraines […]
Drinks that help you detox {Staying Healthy}
Late last year, I had begun working on targets and goals that I wanted to set for myself in 2014. One of the to-do targets I wanted to achieve was to write guest posts for some awesome blogs I know, follow and read. After a few rejects, when I was totally disillusioned that the target was […]

My first guest post of the year. I am superbly thrilled to feature as a guest blogger with Swapna Thomas, the mommy behind TMV. When she asked me to write a guest post for her, I was thrilled and could not let the chance pass by. Swapna needs no introduction. Really. She is the founder […]
Benefits of green tea for you {Staying Healthy}
I am not a chai drinker at all. I used to indulge in a cup of tea occasionally when I was working, but not really addicted to it (this is despite the fact that I am a part of the family who drinks tea at the drop of a hat!). I prefer the green tea […]

There is a sudden surge of online organic e-retail stores in India because people are getting more conscious about what is good and what is not. The change in the mindset has been slow, but one thing for sure is that the shift to making healthier choices is certain. A, a follower of my blog […]
My eco-mantras – Part 1 {Green Living}
Sometimes I am just amazed at all that I buy and I seriously wonder what prompted me to buy things that I did not need. And of course, with two rapidly growing boys, there are more things than you can imagine. I need to de-clutter my home at least once in 3 months. It came […]
Grow the wishes {Product Reviews}
Five years ago, when I was in one of those cleaning modes, I came across a stack of old greeting cards, hand-written letters and other memorable items weighing a little over two kilos! The cleaning got delayed by two days because most of the time was spent to re-read those cards and hand-written letters that […]

Urrvi Clothing at Natural Mantra
When I have the opportunity to pick up organic clothes, I do so without a second thought because the options are pretty limited in the Indian market. I am always on the hunt for brands that promote organic clothing and when Natural Mantra got in touch with me informing me about the brand, I was […]
Using Peppermint Essential oil {Staying Healthy}
I got a bottle of Aroma Magic Peppermint EO bottle in the first Enchantess Bag, probably the one thing I am still using and haven’t chucked away. I used this in the diffuser once, but the fragrance did not last for a very long time. So I just let it lie on my bookshelf till […]
My Omved picks
I was introduced to Omved about a year and a half ago, when a particularly enchanting aroma led me to the Omved store in the mall. It was not the fragrance that attracted me, but the calmness in the aroma that was bliss. They had just burnt the dhoop in the store and every breath […]
The Green n Good Store
I got to know about GreennGood quite a few months ago and the first time I visited the website, it was just in the infancy stage and I did not sign up with them. But on a recent visit, I was quite pleased to see the array of products they had online and the go-green […]
Using Diffusers
I love fragrances. I find it calming. All through the day, I ensure that I have either incense sticks, cones, candles or a diffuser burning in a corner of my home. I have been more inclined to the diffusers because I find them cleaner and hassle free. You don’t need to clear up the soot […]
Rustic Art – Power laundry for regular clothes {Product Review}
Rustic Art has its own laundry range which consists of washing powders for normal clothes and baby clothes. I picked up the Power Laundry Detergent from Beaute Naturelle, the eco boutique. You also get a bar vairant in this, but since I use a washing machine to wash my laundry, I chose the washing powder. This […]
A green living {Green Living}
Most of us grew up playing in the sand without any worries about getting tanned in the sun or getting the dirt in the nails. It was also alright to drink the colas from the bottle without waiting to wipe the neck of the bottle clean and hand sanitizers did not exist. Seatbelts did not […]
Go Green
When I thought about living a green life, the first thought that crossed my mind was ” OMG, I need to really give up so many things I have been used to.” Simple things like the kitchen sponge wipes that makes your kitchen so clean! But once you get about setting it as a target, […]
Healing spices and herbs in your kitchen {Staying Healthy}
Being an insomniac which was in its peak during my pregnancy, my doctor who was keen that I get some sleep introduced me to the spice, nutmeg. I had to grate nutmeg, stir about 3-4 pinches of it in a glass of warm milk and drink it just before I wanted to sleep. Strangely, this […]
Omved – Purity at its best
Buying organic stuff is always nice because I believe that there are no impurities in it and that most of the products are handmade and as close to the nature as possible. I chanced upon the Omved Store in Inorbit Mall. One thing I must say is that their online website is a tad confusing as […]
