20 in 2020!

Unprecedented! The most apt word used to describe 2020. Also the most common word gracing year end reviews published around the world. Over this last month, I spent some time switching off from my daily routine to introspect and reflect on the year this has been, and the lessons I have learnt: the importance of family and nature, an attitude of gratitude for all my privileges, a study in resilience, the joy of embracing a slower albeit fuller life and going deep within to understand my true purpose. 2020, you might just have been a blessing in disguise! As 2021…

The Lockdown Eyebrow

Hello everyone! Are you enjoying my lockdown posts? Today for the letter E, I have circled in on “eyebrows” or more specifically, the lockdown trend of bushier brows that dominated our beauty feeds all year.  Grooming at home took on a whole new meaning with salons going out of reach during the lockdown.

Creativity in the times of Covid

Hello again! Today I am covering the letter C in my lockdown alphabet series, and guess what C stands for? C stands for the joy of creativity we got from pursuing our hobbies during this stay at home period. Several people rediscovered their passion towards baking, reading, painting, blogging and other creative activities during this time. I would definitely say this was one of the biggest silver linings during the Covid lockdowns for everyone around the world.  Why creative hobbies spiked during Covid?  The lockdown resulted in the rise of two things – boredom and anxiety. People were abruptly jolted…

Baking Banana Bread in Lockdown

Hi there, and hope you are having a great week! I am continuing with my lockdown alphabet series posts and this week I am covering the letter B for “Baking” and “Banana Bread”!  So tell me honestly, did you bake banana bread or anything else during the lockdown? I am not much of a baker (or cook!) but my mother and sister have had a ball baking goodies for us in the kitchen through this entire lockdown period! What started with banana bread, cakes, brownies, and other sugary treats quickly transitioned to more serious experiments around garlic bread, pizza and…
