Let’s talk about the importance of planning your meals today.
I love food. Yes, I love all kinds of food.
I also get very easily tempted by food. Creamy and cheesy food is my absolute weakness. You bring a rich cheesecake in front of me, and my mind goes into an obsessive craving to eat it.
I also get very hangry, very fast. If I am not well fed, I get irritable and cranky. And I end up eating the first thing I see infront of me. No, I won’t eat you don’t worry!!!
A small fun activity for you all –
How much do you earn in a month, after all taxes, what comes into your bank account? Think of the figure in your head or write it down on a piece of paper. Say, you wrote $5000 or Rs. 50,000 or €5000.
Now, write down how much money you CAN spend in a month? Can you spend $7000, can you spend Rs. 50,100? I don’t think so.
Now, you might have some savings, write them down, let’s say you get $5000 per month, and you have around $150,000 in your bank savings account, saved over 7 years.
Can you buy a car worth $200,000 right now in cash? I don’t think so.
You might need to pay in installments and you can buy it, but you can not pay the full amount at this minute, can you?
So, what do you do? Do you still go about and purchase handbags worth $1500 every month, or rent an apartment worth $4000 per month, or buy a car with installment of $3000 each month? No, you don’t. You plan your finances and you buy what you can afford. You plan most purchases, and set a budget for expenses, savings etc? Or do you go out on pay-day and spend Rs.20,000 when the salary credited to your account was Rs.10,000?
If you forget credit cards for a minute, how can you physically even pay that amount? You can not.
If you can not spend a penny more than you get into your bank, so how can you consume more food than you body allows?
If I am not working enough to buy an Audi, I will not buy it. So, if I am not working enough to burn that cupcake from my body, I will not eat it.
I love food, I love that cupcake, and that cheesecake, the pizza, the chole bhature, the gulab jamun and the jalebi and that chicken biryani. Same way I also love the BMW X6 model, I love that sea view penthouse, I love that Louis Vuitton handbag.
But I don’t go out and spend my hard earned money on those, why?
I think the same way about the food I eat.

Hello everybody!
I love love love candles and have around 5-6 around my apartment at any given time. I explore a lot with different scents, but I never buy food or any gourmand kindof scents. I never even try them because I always find them too sweet or fake artificial kindof sugary sweet. But I tried this on a whim and oh my god I am absolutely in love with it. It might be the first candle I repurchase! It’s also perfect for winter time, it makes me feel so cozy and warm like a steaming mug of hot chocolate in my hand. Oh and did I mention the mug is topped with mini marshmallows and melted chocolate bits. Ah bliss!
“Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle”
Continuing with new year kinda posts, I have a lot of resolutions I have made this year in the beauty area. And one of the most important ones is committing more strongly to my skin and hair care!
Hey everyone ❤
How many of you still have your Christmas decorations up, raise your hand 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
It is usually not that cold here in Tampa and right now it’s absolutely freezing ! The temperatures this week have been down to the 40s(around 4-5 degree Celsius) and I have all the reasons to light up my tree, all the string lights and the candles and brew up a steaming mug of matcha tea ! Aah
Did we just finish another year??!!!!! How is time flying soon fast ah!!
I know it sounds just so cliched but I swear I remember 1st Jan 2017 so vividly(was it not yesterday!!!), we partied, we prayed at a temple, we were hopeful of having a lovely year despite a not so lovely 2016. And now, we are at 1st Jan 2018, like seriously what is going onnnn!!!!
Hello my loves :* how’re you all today?
Before starting another long long week, to freshen things up, I’ll take you with me to a wonderful trip to Costa Rica🇨🇷 ! I visited Costa Rica a few months back, and just for a 3 day trip but I managed to cover a whole lot in these 3 days and had a beautiful trip! Starting off I went with 2 other friends and we took our flight from Orlando Friday afternoon. It was a direct 3 hour flight taking us to San José which is the capital city of Costa Rica. In case you’re interested in going there, you don’t need to get a visitor visa if you have a valid USA visa. You do need your passport to travel and it will be stamped on entry and exit and also need all relevant documents to re enter the states.
So after the technicalities let’s get on with the fun 😀 landed at San José Friday night and it took a long time to complete customs and immigration so by the time we reached where we were staying it was already late evening. We rented a car for the whole trip from the airport itself. We went in May and it was rainy constantly.
Hello my loves :*
Yes it’s that time when we have…
Five
Friday
