Sparkle #109: Owl Dreamcatchers!

Do you like dreamcatchers? I absolutely love them and have more than one hanging in my study right now! Dreamcatchers have their origin in native american culture, and have of late been popularized by New Age groups and individuals. A dreamcatcher is traditionally a good luck charm which is hung over the beds of children so it can catch and filter out all bad dreams and allow only good thoughts to enter the mind. I feel that it is even more relevant in today’s times. We all need a dreamcatcher in our lives, so that we wake up to positivity and happiness every morning! I have dreamcatchers in my…

New York on the other hand was my first solo international trip, and the incidents and experiences on this trip helped shape my overall outlook on travel.  New York will always be special for me as it awakened my wanderlust and forever changed my perspective on solo travel! Both the cities have distinct personalities and histories, and a discussion on the…

Sparkle #106: How to do a Juice Cleanse

Happy Monday people; are you feeling inspired for your week ahead? To start your day on a healthy note, I am featuring some helpful information on juice cleanses on the blog today. A juice cleanse (or juice detox) has gained massive popularity as a quick and easy way to lose weight and flush out toxins from your body. It usually involves an intake of only certain raw fruit and vegetable concoctions for 1, 3 or 5 days. Before we dive deeper into the benefits of a cleanse and how it works, I want to publish a disclaimer: I do not endorse juicing as a regular practice. There are two…
