Hey hey! I unintentionally went MIA last week but for a valid reason: vacay with my madre to Sri Lanka. Despite it being a mere 2- hour flight away, it was my first trip out there…and definitely not my last. What an amazing place! We stayed 2 days at the spa & beach resort Vivanta …
There’s no way I can put up a post today without first wishing my sister the happiest of birthdays! Aside from it being her #DirtyThirty, it’s Shyamla’s first birthday as a mom-to-be…exciting stuff! No celebratory alcohol only means extra cake…Am I right or am I right ;)! So let’s talk about irony for a second! A …
Over the past few years, there seems to be increased awareness about the dangers of acidity & the effect of blood pH level (measure of your body’s acidity) on overall health. From inflammation to fatigue, acne, pain, excess weight gain, and serious health issues including diabetes & heart disease, an acid environment in the body …
Hey guys! I wanted to share a few new-to-me products which I’ve been loving lately. For the record- I have not been sponsored/compensated/yaddy yadda yadda for any of my opinions.

Hey guys! I had planned to write up a workout post for today, but that topic instantly got put on the backburner right after my lunch on Wednesday: Chicken Shawarma Tartine. When I Whatsapped my sister about it, her reply was “All your meals sound so fancy”. I’ll let you in on a secret- a …
Let’s talk about snackity snacks for a second…everyone loves ‘em! And if you don’t love snacks you’re weird. Just kidding…kinda! In all seriousness, I know there are 2 camps when it comes to eating: i.e. 3 squares meals versus 3 meal with a couple of snacks thrown in. After plenty self-experimentation, I find that the latter …
Yo yo! Another month, another Current Favourites post. In the 4+ years I’ve been blogging, I don’t think it’s ever taken me this long to write a single post.
