Celebrating #SkinAwarenessMonth with Galderma

While I have always loved makeup, my biggest beauty passion has always been skincare. This passion was fuelled when, as a teen, I used to read French Elle and Vogue which had detailed articles on how to identify your skin type and the right products to use for it.  This was in the 90s, before […]

Dermafique Bio-Cellulose Face Masque

Winter time is when I love to pamper my skin with masks; the heat and humidity of summers and monsoons are perfect for clay masks but the dry, cool weather of winters makes me bring out my Bio cellulose masks for my twice a week pampering session and some intense burst of hydration. Recently, I […]

Exploring the @amouageofficial fragrances at @galerieslafayetteindia reminded me why Guidance has become my soft, glowing signature - it’s artistry, emotion, and a little bit of magic; all bottled in Oman and cherished in my vanity.

Khyber is where food meets memory. Where flavour i Khyber is where food meets memory. Where flavour is honest, the décor tells stories, and every corner carries decades of art, heritage, and warmth.

As a child, I was mesmerised by the jharokas, the beams made from old railway sleepers, and the vibrant murals (which I later discovered were painted by M.F. Husain and Anjolie Ela Menon).

Khyber isn’t just a meal… it’s a feeling I return to, again and again.

A hair oil that helps hair growth, adds shine and A hair oil that helps hair growth, adds shine and smells so good that husband and kids love it too! All through childhood, my mom would regularly oil my hair with a mix of castor and coconut oil. I have just made that oil a little bit more fragrant. 

Recipe: 
* Castor Oil - 10ml 
* Coconut Oil - 20ml 
* Amla Oil - 10ml 
A few drops of , 
* Rosemary essential oil - to stimulate hair growth and prevent dandruff.
* Ylang Ylang essential oil - adds shine to the hair and helps thicken it.
* Jasmine essential oil - moisturises hair and promotes hair growth. 

You need just a few drops of this oil for a hair massage, due to castor oil, it will get difficult to remove if you use too much. The fragrance is lovely and perfect for a soothing massage after a tiring day. Try it and let me know what you think.
