December 22, 2013 By: Pratibha4 Comments

ways to increase water intake

I have always forgotten to drink water. Yes, you read that right. Forgotten. There have been days when I have had less than a glass of water all through the day. Nothing happened to me. I was perfectly fine till the health issues started cropping up. It started with feeling lethargic and fatigued easily. It moved on […]

Everyone wants to get organised. But how?  Yes, we all love to walk in to a spic and span home, where the cushions are in place, not a speck of dust visible anywhere, no clothes strewn on the floor and no messy walls are seen! That is my dream home and let me be honest here, […]

Eco friendly gifting options this Diwali

October 16, 2013 By: Pratibha18 Comments

With the festive season kicking in, I am already superbly excited about what I should be gifting to family and friends. And when I saw Priti from Kwikdeko make this awesome post on tinting bottles, I got this brainwave and decided that I could make some  tinted candle holders for a few friends. And I did! Yaaay! […]

Weekend breakfasts – Open sandwiches

October 12, 2013 By: Pratibha12 Comments

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with cooking. I go between the phases of cooking so many new recipes to resorting to Maggi as a life saver. Being married to a Punju who favours the rajma, choles and the various parathas and managing two boys whose interests vary from bhindi to pasta had me go […]

Easy to make pancakes

October 5, 2013 By: Pratibha5 Comments

I am not the type who likes elaborate recipes. I need something that does not take much time and can be made in a matter of minutes. I hate the cooking on a slow flame for X mins, followed by cooking on a medium flame for X minutes types of recipes. I can’t even to […]

Staying Healthy – PeeSafe Toilet Seat Sanitizer

October 3, 2013 By: Pratibha25 Comments

I am the kind who has a low immunity which means I am very susceptible to infections. It all started when I was expecting and with the numerous complications that followed. A low immunity but naturally meant that I had to impose a lot of precautions on my lifestyle. For almost 6 months I was […]

September 16, 2013 By: Pratibha34 Comments

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 […]

Shopping Reviews – MyGreenKart

September 12, 2013 By: Pratibha6 Comments

When you make the switch to organic and green living, one of the major tasks that you face is looking for stores that sell the required range of organic products. Till now the options available were very few. The past few months have seen a sudden spurt of eco-friendly organic stores opening, some survived and some did […]

Awesome Veggie Cutlets

August 31, 2013 By: Pratibha7 Comments

One of the most craziest tasks I have in my life is to get my boys to eat their food.  They have a varied taste in food, while I would succumb earlier to make something that each one liked, I realized it was not the wisest thing to do in the long run. And being […]

My eco-mantras – Part 1 {Green Living}

August 28, 2013 By: Pratibha7 Comments

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}

August 25, 2013 By: Pratibha2 Comments

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 […]

Shopping with SafetyKart {Brand Review}

August 13, 2013 By: Pratibha13 Comments

A very chance encounter led me to SafetyKart.  Yes, I know I have raved and reviewed about all things organic and natural on my blog, but let me warn you right at the start that this website has actually no product in sync with my blog. Why am I still reviewing it? Read on and […]

The world of aromas

July 4, 2013 By: Pratibha49 Comments

I was introduced to the world of aromatherapy over two years ago when I discovered the goodness of essential oils and diffusers. There has been no stopping after that. I use EO’s and diffusers on a daily basis. Not only is the fragrance calming, but it is one of the best ways to purify your […]

Shopping with Jabong

June 29, 2013 By: Pratibha11 Comments

The man in a state of panic, requesting people not to introduce their family members to Jabong was the earliest advertisement that I recollect. From the past few months, it is fast moving on to be one of the preferred and trusted e-retail store to shop at. Jabong has been around for quite a while […]

Urrvi Clothing at Natural Mantra

June 23, 2013 By: Pratibha1 Comment

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}

May 28, 2013 By: Pratibha8 Comments

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 […]

Sampling through TryorTrade

March 29, 2013 By: Pratibha12 Comments

I recently discovered this website that allows you to sample products before you can buy the actual product. TryorTrade has samples from reputed brands listed on the website. They have brands like Malia Bar, Nirvaaha, Vedantika Herbals. They also have Rustic Art and Tvam listed, but I did not see their samples listed in the month of March. […]

My Omved picks

March 13, 2013 By: Pratibha74 Comments

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

January 15, 2013 By: Pratibha14 Comments

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

December 7, 2012 By: Pratibha1 Comment

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}

September 11, 2012 By: Pratibha7 Comments

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 […]

Summer drinks

March 19, 2012 By: Pratibha2 Comments

It is summer. The raging sun is literally draining you of all the fluids in the body and I am already putting up with two fussy twin boys who do not want to eat anything! All they want is water. In the quest to keep my boys hydrated and also ensuring that the drinks were […]

A green living {Green Living}

March 14, 2012 By: Pratibha2 Comments

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

March 7, 2012 By: Pratibha1 Comment

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, […]
