It’s that time of the year again, when time moves with such an odd pace that makes me feel like we’re in a different time stream or something. Sun is been playing hide and seek since last two weeks and today it’s overcast with complete lack of sunlight; making every hour of the day feel the same, creating sort of an off-beat mood which (I think?) I like.

So here I am, going to make another round of cinnamon tea as my mind works on the muse for today’s post – ‘my best products for skin and makeup routine’. Continue reading

A bright future!

Despite all the fuss going on in the present moment, I really DO think the future appears shining.

Last two weeks were crazy. I was depressed, disorganized and overwhelmed with the number of things on my platter. So I reached for my personal journal, grabbed my favorite color pens and started scribbling. I scribbled and scribbled until I got rid of all the clutter and felt the flow of fresh emotions.
