I have an eager habit of ‘getting lost’ in the right direction. Social media is my ‘food & fashion blog’, ‘travel diary’, and ‘lifestyle journal’ which reflects me and my personality to inspire others.
1. Tell us about your background and journey.
Born and brought up in the capital city Delhi half education from Delhi and Half is from Dubai, I started my career and worked at Digital Marketing Agency.
Post my marriage to the person I loved the most I spent about 3 years in Punjab before moving to Dubai again in 2017 and I have never missed home (other than my mom off course) as Dubai has given me so much to cherish.
I am on a career break and currently living a life of a full-time mom. Being from a Hospitality and Marketing background, I am always open to new ideas and innovation in life.
2. What led you to start your page on Instagram and what is it about?
I have been an Instagram blogger and influencer for almost two years. My page covers Food, Fashion, Style, and Leisure (FFSL) and is my food & fashion blog, travel diary, and lifestyle journal which reflects me and my personality.
It is intended to inspire young mums and young families to step out, do something out of the ordinary while on the vacation, be more adventurous, and explore the hidden gems in the beautiful cities of the Middle East.
I am a big advocate of female empowerment and promote small entrepreneurship.
3. What are you currently doing and What does your day look like?
I wake up at 6:00 AM and hit snooze 3 times and finally get up at 6.30 am. I do a bit of cardio exercise for 30 minutes (new incorporation into my routine) while listening to my favorite music and admiring the great views of the mosque from the gym window.
The afternoon then gets consumed in doing household work, online learning with my son in this virtual world, and light entertainment. I spend the evening on Insta writing reviews and when I am not writing a review, I am actually exploring and experiencing new things and places so that I can continue blogging and writing reviews the following day.
4. Who is your favorite creator and why?
Oprah Winfrey. She triumphed over everything that is enough to keep a person down, poverty, violence, assault, and many other evils.
A true example of inspiration, Oprah Winfrey is one of the pioneers of the women empowerment movement. Her actions and words never fail to impress and inspire people in the way she intends to.
5. How and where do you find inspiration to churn out content?
Each and every concept is self-taught and I am proud of what I have achieved and urge myself to strive for more. I love to collaborate with people I can learn from.
I take turns between food, fashion, and travel (staycation is my favorites) influencer. When I am a fashion blogger my week would look something like this with followers commenting !!
• Monday: street style (workwear outfit)
• Tuesday: close up of gold chains on the neck
• Wednesday: street style (casual outfit)
• Thursday: street style (evening wear)
• Friday: favorite lipsticks flat lay
• Saturday: street style (weekend outfit)
• Sunday: street style (weekend outfit)
6. What makes you appreciate a particular dish or a restaurant and talk about it on your blog?
Dubai is a paradise for foodies and there is so much to explore right from fast/street food to fine dining; unhealthy over the board to healthy superfood.
For me preparation and taste both matter - I like typically talk about Indian and Turkish Food which is my all-time Favourite In Indian Dish - Raan Biryani and In Turkish- Turkish Kabab.
7. What is your idea of success or your mantra in life?
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, a dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success and I want to world where people appreciate my sense of style and grace.
8. Which is your favorite book and why?
Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
The book explores various sides of a person’s life love, happiness, friendship, pain, laughter, and regret.
What the novel teaches you the most is how it is always your decision to start over, how in order to atone for your mistakes you need to forgive yourself first, come to peace with yourself first and accept everything coming your way with compassion. You need to learn to let go in order to keep moving forward.
I also teach you that when you truly love someone. You can never really ‘unlove’ them, you can only let them go.
