Warmer Weather Wish List 2019

Posted on March 25, 2019 by Bhanu Misra Marya

We are officially in the dog days of winter! There isn’t any more expected snow fall but the temps are still pretty chilly. The grey and brown snow banks are slowly melting away and there is more sunlight in the early evenings. Like most Canadians, we are ready to pack away the cold weather gear and usher in the fresh Spring air.

Along with thinking about all the fun things to do as the weather warms up (honestly the simple things like opening the windows in the house 😂), I do get excited about shopping my closet to re-aquaint myself with all of my warm weather outfits.

But I thought I’d put this quick wish list together in an attempt to ignore the still quite frigid temperatures!

Holiday Wish List 2018

Posted on December 12, 2018 by Bhanu Misra Marya

It’s funny as I get older, I either want less stuff or just keep my eye on things long enough so I can get them when they go on sale 😛

Vegan long puffer jacket: I have a long maternity jacket from Old Navy (yes – I still wear it) and a short Mackage jacket (soo warm and cozy). Both are great and serve their purpose but I need a winter jacket that combines length and the ability to keep my entire body protected from the cold. Being socially conscious is a plus point for sure!
Long sleeve running top: Give me all the workout clothes. Right now I am in need of a black long sleeve tee!
Runners: I love my Nike Zoom Structure runners. And these are the next version (22 I think). I prefer neutral colours in sneaks especially as I use the same pair for training and running.
Sheet Masks: I love using sheet masks. I love using them on Sundays. And I love how easy they are to use when I need to take some time out for myself.
Mini Food Processors: In our 22nd century world where everyone has a vitamix, I’m over here trying to get to to the 21st century because I still need a good old fashion food processor.
3 Little Wonders: Trying to incorporate anti-aging and vit C into my skin care routine. Hoping this mini version gives me the boost I need!
Electronic Toothbrush: Totally a want that I’ve wanted for years!
A new planner for 2019: I live and breath with my planner. I do all the usual stuff, record events, birthdays, anniversaries, set goals and tasks as well as habit track. The right planner makes me feel organized and it’s an absolute necessity for me.
Jade facial roller: Jumping on the IG bandwagon here and really want to try it out.

Not your typical kaurva chauth gift guide

Posted on September 22, 2017 by Bhanu Misra Marya

This isn’t your typical Karva Chauth gift guide. Well technically I’ve never even seen a gift guide for Karva Chauth on the internet before. So this could even be the FIRST Karva Chauth gift guide – and quite honestly the only one you need ;)

Don’t know what Karva Chauth is? Read about it here.

This is going to be my 5th or 6th Karva Chauth. Yes we’ve been married 7 years now but between kids (aka making or feeding a baby) I’ve missed a few here and there.

Any whoo – on to the gift guide.

I put this together to help my husband (and the other fellas) looking for something useful to give your wife. I mean yes you could go the typical route (some type of 24k jewelry) or your could get her something(s) that she will actually use.

Bamboo Arc Handbag
Yes the Cult Gaia was all the rage in summer but I think it would super cute with an indian outfit especially at a lower price point ;)

Vans Sk8 Lite
Not actually sure when I went from being a can’t-feel-my-feet-because-I’m-always-in-stillettos to a mommy-sneaker-head but that is where I am at now. I have purchased more #athleteleasure shoes in the past 3 years than I have heels.

Initial necklace and Heart Ring
I am all about the ghetto love jewelry. I have a bar necklace with the girls names on it but it wasn’t until after I started wearing it did I feel that it was too invasive (I mean I avoid even saying their names on this blog). But I love the representation of wearing them in my jewelry. This heart ring it something that I’ve been eye for a year and I am happy to have found a Canadian retailer who has it.

Passion Planner
I am a planner addict (something the husband just doesn’t understand). I even have a few planners that haven’t been used yet. So technically I don’t really need/want this but I had to include the undated version in my gift guide.

Nail polish & Compact
I’ve mentioned before that I’ve stopped eating chicken and bacon – and its probably the most proud of myself I’ve been in a long time. Doing this has also made me more conscious about the other aspects of my life that are no so planet friendly. I figure foundation powder and nail polish is a good start.

Rebel Mama Jersey
I follow these ladies on instagram. All of their posts have either got me nodding in agreement or laughing historically (also in agreement). This is not your typical parenting advice site/mommy blog. I love their blunt-unapologetic-straight up advice and account of motherhood. I strive to be this kind of mom friend to my mom friends lol

Travel coffee cup
Just because I always feel guilty getting coffee from mcds or stabies – hopefully having something like this will help.

Father’s Day Gift Guide 2017

Posted on June 13, 2017 by Bhanu Misra Marya

Smart Phone Charger | Beverage of Choice | Silicone wedding band | Ankle Socks | Waterbottle
