A tiny, honest guide to a beginner makeup kit

You don’t need a makeup drawer that looks like a store. Start small. Choose things you’ll actually use every day: a bb/cc cream (light base), a concealer for sleepy eyes, a translucent powder to set, a cream blush that doubles as a lip tint, a neutral 4-pan shadow, mascara, a brow pencil or tinted gel, and a tinted balm for instant polish. Add a sponge or one multipurpose brush and you’re already dressed.   Budget hacks: cream products pull double duty (cheek → lip), bb cream can replace primer + foundation, and a small eyeshadow can be your brow powder.   Practice a 5-minute routine—moisturize, base, brows, mascara, balm—and you’ll feel put together without fuss.   Makeup should be kind to your skin and your wallet. start tiny, learn quickly, and let your kit grow only when you actually reach for something.   — Sip your chai, swipe your balm, and leave the world looking like you mean it. 🫶

Five indian fabrics you actually need in your closet

There’s something quietly rebellious about choosing fabric over fast trends. Khadi feels like a slow morning — nubby, honest, and softer with every wash. Cotton is the workhorse: breathable, forgiving, and endlessly wearable. Linen brings that crisp, lived-in luxe (yes, it wrinkles — that’s the point). Chanderi catches the light with a sheer, whispery shimmer, perfect for days you want to feel quietly dressed-up. Ikat? bold, artisanal, and a little wild — the blurred motifs give outfits instant personality.

Wear khadi like a relaxed kurta or stitched shirt; pair cotton basics with sneakers; throw a linen blazer over tees; layer a chanderi dupatta over jeans; let ikat be your statement skirt or jacket. These fabrics age like friends — softer, truer, and way more interesting. Pick one, try it, and see how fabric changes the way your day feels. 🌿

Somewhere Between Chaos and Curation

Not curated for perfection— just collected with intent .

I didn’t set out to create something easily defined.

This space isn’t born out of a grand vision or a masterplan—it’s more of a

quiet unfolding. A slow reveal. A place where different parts of me can sit

next to each other without needing to match.

Some days might look structured, others instinctive. What I share may shift

depending on what the day asks for. There’s no single voice here, no fixed

lens—just whatever feels honest in the moment. A passing thought, a small

obsession, a detail I can’t stop noticing.

There’s a kind of freedom in not narrowing it down. In not needing to tell

you what this will become. Maybe it’s just a collection of things I love, things

I’m drawn to, or things I’m still figuring out. Maybe it’s a little bit of

everything, layered softly over time.

It won't always make sense at first glance. That’s okay. I’m not here to offer

instant clarity. I’m more interested in what unfolds slowly—the kind of

stories and images that linger.

So if you find yourself here, welcome. Stay as long as it makes sense. You

don’t have to get it all. You just have to feel something.

And maybe that’s enough to begin.
