We all go through phases when life gets tough and looking for bright spots or silver linings feels harder than usual. If I am feeling particularly lost and exhausted, and nothing seems to help, I abandon all efforts to make massive changes in my life and instead pour my attention into the tiniest of activities that make me happy. Moon gazing, watching reruns of FRIENDS on TV, hot coffee and cake for breakfast, reading in my garden, rearranging my room or just cuddling with my puppy! You don’t always have to take a trip, make an expensive purchase or initiate…
At the start of each year, I make a travel wishlist where I shortlist a few places I want to visit in that year. I believe in making what’s on my mind very clear to the Universe, so it can conspire actions from my intentions. This is why this blogpost of mine took me to Paris in 2015!

I am so happy to bid adieu to 2021. It was a difficult and unmemorable year. I wrote a whole blog post at the start of the year on how I was optimistic that this year would be filled with joy and light. Turns out, I was going to experience the true meaning of joy, albeit not in the way I was expecting. Spring brought with it a terrible wave of Covid which affected my entire family and lasted all the way up till summer. Accidents and illnesses followed our recovery into fall, and winter was particularly harsh as I…
Hello there, and I do hope you and your loved ones are safe and well! I know I have been MIA for many months now, but I am happy to announce that I am ready to get back to blogging, and this time I intend to be consistent. Before I talk about anything more, I just want to send out a big thanks to those who have stayed, those who are returning and even those who are new and just discovering my content. I welcome you all to my sparkly space! When I started this blog in 2015, I was…
