I love being a waste person. No–really. I enjoy that wonderful feeling of coming home, taking off all my makeup and accessories, and hitting the couch just to put my feet up and watch YouTube videos as my popcorn pops in the microwave. I do genuinely believe that indulging doesn’t have to mean downing a…
This is a sponsored post by Fairmont Chicago Millenium Park, but all reviews and opinions expressed in this post are my personal view. Chicago was a place that reminded me a great deal of both my homes. On the one hand—the city was reminiscent of Boston, where I stayed for the past three years as…
Hearing from individuals who have fearlessly embarked on paths that may seem unconventional to our cookie-cutter mindsets always helps, and here’s why: Often times, we need an extra vote of confidence and some reassurance to propel us forward in the direction our hearts have been yearning for. Personally, I find that attending conferences is fuel…
Having grown up in California practically my whole life, I’ve learned a thing or two about some great shopping spots to visit during the summers. With so many retail stores in malls shutting down now, however, it may seem that shopping online is slowly becoming the only option, but I have hope for the future…
Food, fashion and fitness are my three favorites. I’ve always been a foodie at heart, and I figured, why not share some of my creations with you all? I also know that a lot of you guys have been requesting more food-related content, so here comes a simple recipe for cupcakes I made for a…

Over the years, my definition of the word “fitness” has certainly evolved. Having grown up pretty active (I was an Indian Classical Dancer), I didn’t necessarily have a “daily fitness routine,” but as soon as I stopped dancing, there was a void in my life–I felt empty somehow. As I progressively tried to uncover what…
I’m a firm believer in making the right choices to achieve maximum productivity. Life gives you plenty of opportunities–every minute, no–every second, to make choices. Often we fail to realize this, but it’s in the little choices that we make that the arc of our entire lives form. Think about it: how many times have…
My closest friends and family know this, but perhaps the most integral part of my upbringing that has made me who I am today is my background in Bharata Natyam, or Indian Classical Dance. The amount of discipline, passion, and sweat I’ve poured into it from age 6 has taught me a thing or two…
