I don’t know about you guys but after baby #2, my skin changed for the worse. Oh NO, it is not bub’s fault but the ridiculous combination of hormones, stress, lack of sleep, and good ol’ aging.
I am a make-up neophyte! No, really! I pretend like I know make-up and its application but I only know the minimum basics. I don’t know the...
Along with the wonderful celebrations of Christmas and the holidays, the one thing I always look forward to are Hallmark Christmas movies. They start early November (I think!) and go on until Christmas and sometimes after the fact.
The movies are romantic, hopeful, family-oriented, sometimes cheesy yet faith-restoring and warm; JUST LIKE...
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
I am officially stuffed from all the food I consumed today. We did our Thanksgiving today (a day early) at home because we are invited to my brother’s side tomorrow. So today I made all kinds of dishes and dessert and invited my husband’s sister and family for a brunch. It was a great day filled with fun,...
Bringing a new baby home can be the most exciting moment for the entire family. It can also be challenging because a new baby means change; Change in sleep schedules, eating habits, relationships, and many lifestyle choices.
Prior to having my second baby, I was always worried about how my oldest would react to the new family member. Would she...
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common form of depression affecting many new mothers.
During both my pregnancies, my doctors and nurses always kept me informed and monitored for PPD. Thus, I can safely say that many of us today are very much informed about PPD and its symptoms/treatments.
After having baby #2, I kept my eyes open for signs...
Breastfeeding is the most natural way to feed a new baby. Breast milk contains all the nutrients a baby needs during the first several months of their life. It also keeps them full and satisfies their thirst.
Despite any initial challenges, many mommas attempt to breastfeed their children before moving onto other sources of food.
I breastfed...
Okay so please don’t hate me when you read this post. But I must write it to get it off my chest.
Ready? Here you go!
I live with my in-laws. It is a culture-thing because my husband is the only son so culturally and dutifully, we all live together to help them out.There are many great reasons to living with in-laws. And, then there are...
Until recently, I was a beauty products neophyte.
I didn’t know much about serums and eye creams and was always hesitant to try new products especially on my face.
I have a combination skin type, which means that I have some oily areas (not super oily), and other dry areas. Basically it’s a balance of oily and dry skin but neither is...
Working from home is a highly desirable position.
Moms often hope to work from home after they have one or two babies. If your company allows you to work from home, then that is a wonderful perk. However, many mothers opt for a side hustle or find a job that gives them the option to work from home, so they can be close to their...
I grew up in a Fiji-Indian home, eating Indian home-cooked meals every single day.
For about 17 years of my life, I barely ate out; no restaurants, fast food, or take-outs of any kind. We cooked all our meals at home – breakfast, lunch parceled from home, and dinner again at home with our family.
I learned how to cook roti (Indian tortilla)...
