After 9 months of waiting when finally the day come , every pregnant woman wants a natural vaginal delivery but sometimes when situation become worse a cesarean delivery happens . Both the ways are good but the recovery with a vaginal delivery is very fast than the c-section one. This is the truth everyone knows. But what life faces after a vaginal birth !! Let's discuss ..


The most common symptom a woman experience after delivery is a bloody discharge called 'Lochia' which looks like menstrual period but actually not and lasts for at least 8 weeks after given birth. Women also feel little cramping kind sensation which is again very natural as the uterus is trying to get back its shape again.

There are also other symptoms like uterine pain, breast feeding issues, breast swelling , body swelling ( due to excessive blood loss during delivery) ,etc. These symptoms vary from person to person. When the delivery is normal , the staying hour in the hospital is also less. Hospitals do keep vaginal delivery patients for 24 hours maximum in the hospital unless any emergency happen. In between it is necessary to consult the gynecologist and pediatrician for any kind of help to avoid any further problem. It is always good to clear all doubts beforehand. Normally lactation issue happens after delivery which you need to clear with the lactation doctor in the hospital only.



In hospital doctors usually  check the bowl movement of the patient before leaving . Feeding the new born is also a challenge . To get a good flow of milk you need to have good nutritious diet & sufficient rest and more over being happy is equally important . I will do a dedicated post on breast feeding , the issues and how to overcome that in a separate post. 

Being physically active after a month or so is necessary to get back in shape. Yoga , easy leg and hand exercises helps in that case. Postpartum depression is very common as everything around you will change and to overcome that you need to do meditation to keep your mind and body calm . Trust me , a 15min. meditation actually works to give you that mental peace . Feeling tired and emotionally weak during the first month is quite normal. Eventually you will feel better with time . Moreover staying happy and taking rest is the key to overcome those emotional postpartum days .

Hope you liked this pregnancy / maternity series .. Will share more pregnancy and post-delivery posts here based out my own experience. Stay tuned..

You must have come across heath supplements or might have used but do you know there are also skin supplements exist which helps to rejuvenate skin from inside, improves skin texture and tone and also prevent aging on skin.


Recently i came across Glutone 1000 and Escore Z, two skin supplements which are really great for skin . Actually Glutathione is the main ingredients here which boost up the skin texture and color. Do you know what Glutathione is?


 Let me share the detailed information on those...


What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is body's own antioxidant. It's often referred as Master Antioxidant as it is essential for health immune function, detoxification of skin health and so on. Glutathione levels in body reduce with age , hence having oral glutathione supplement is necessary for healthy ageing .

Glutathione imparts skin lightening and antiageing benefits too. It increases the production of lighter melanin pigment (pheomelanin) over dark melanin (eumelanin). Regular oral consumption of glutathione supplements helps in lightening skin, boosting immunity, stamina and detoxification. Glutone products has world's best glutathione 'Setria Glutathione' . Setria Glutathione is also GRAS approved.

There are two products in this skin supplement combo, Glutone 1000 and Escor Z . 


Glutone 1000

Glutone 1000 has L-Glutathione, vitamin C, N- Acetylcysteine . It enhances skin complexion and works on anti-ageing.

 🔹L-Glutathione helps in improving skin tone in both exposed and covered parts of body . It is the master antioxidant. It also helps in reducing wrinkles and signs of ageing.


🔹It has vitamin C which helps to improve the absorption of glutathione. It island essential water soluble vitamin which contributes to the normal immune function and collagen synthesis in skin.




🔹It has N- Acetylcysteine which improves body's glutathione level. It acts as an antioxidant and helps to reduce free radicals.


Though Gluton 1000 has vitamin C in it as ingredients but not sufficient for effecting results, hence Escor Z provides an extra push for glutathione to work as it makes it easily absorbable in the body.


Escor Z 

Escor Z is enriched with phyllanthus emblica (amla) extracts which considered as a rich source of vitamin C. It helps in fighting free radicals, boosts collagen and lightens the skin. It lightens skin by reducing melanin pigments. It increases production and transfer of anti aging protein. It exerts photo-protective effects by neutralising free radicals. It is available in awesome lemon and lime flavor.

Note that , these are health supplements and not medicines , hence very safe to consume and there is no side effect . 


Availability - You can get this skin supplements Glutone 1000 and Escor Z are available on their official website HERE .

Doing all household chores is not only the mom's job. Everyone in the house should involve in it. We do talk about gender equality very often but need to start that from our home itself, isn't it? Doing laundry is not a shame for the boys or the husband. We need to teach our kids to help each other in doing works, in this way the bond will be strong and relationship too.

It's been a month now to my delivery . A little soul is in my house who wants all the attentions and time these days.  Well, it was my second pregnancy and of course the second baby.  To be very honest, it is not easy at all to manage two kids, specially when you are away from home and staying alone with husband.  The last 30 days were not the great ones but a rollercoaster life kind. The day was beautiful when the baby came but after that life became different which is very obvious .  Now after 30days everything seems settle down and we have started to schedule our new routine .



When the new baby come, it is very necessary to handle the elder one as they do feel jealous.  That's what happened to my elder son.  He behaved very weirdly and all my time went by making him understand that how important and precious he is for us and we are not ignoring him.  Trust me it is really tough situation for a mother . Besides that I was in depression for few days and all credits goes to the lactation issue, health and weird rituals of house.  I must say, breast feeding is not an easy task as it looks.  Both the time ,I faced the same issue but luckily now everything is normal and I am breast feeding my little one.

The sleepless nights are still on and it will be for few more months . Sometimes I feel exhausted but when I see the little one's face, I forget all my issues.  I know it is gonna be more tough for me in the coming months but I am all ready to face it and will enjoy every bit of it.

Well,  do wish my little one for his first month birthday and do bless my two munchkins.

I am thanking God for giving me immense pleasure by sending my son..  Stay healthy and strong always, that's what I want to ask more from God.  Happy one month birthday baby.  Loads of love.. 😊

Just as the winter season can be harsh on a newborn’s skin, so can the summer season. The dryness of the air is rather unforgiving on a baby’s delicate skin and can rob it off all its moisture, leaving it parched and dry. Since the summer season has already begun, I’ve been noticing my baby girl’s soft
skin losing its smoothness and feeling rougher than ever, especially in the high-stress areas like elbows and knees.

My regular lotion didn’t help combat the problem, which left me in a fix as I didn’t have the time to resort to home remedies and needed something quickly. Something that was intensely moisturizing without being too strong on my baby’s elbows and knees. So I put my research cap on and got to work to find out ingredients that a baby cream should have in order to be moisturizing and safe for use on such areas.

In my hours of research, I found something really interesting. I discovered that it’s not just the ingredients that make a difference in the suitability and safety of baby cream. The pH level of the product matters just as much. Probably even more as products with the wrong pH level can have a damaging effect on a baby’s tender skin.

Now you might wonder why is pH level important? I wondered the same and dug deeper into the skin’s pH level to find out why. I learned that the pH level of the skin can be defined as its acidity or alkalinity, which ranges from a level 0 to 14. Levels 0 to 7 indicate acidity, while 8 to 14 denote
alkalinity. 7 is considered to be a neutral pH (1).



pH neutral products are quite common and branded as gentle so I thought that’s what I needed in my daughter’s baby cream. But I found out that neutral pH is actually not good for my daughter’s skin, or any baby’s for that matter. The baby's skin’s ideal pH level is 5.5, which is what keeps the
skin healthy, radiant and protected from infections (2). A neutral pH product or that with a lower or higher pH level than 5.5 can disrupt skin health. And that’s definitely something I didn’t want my princess’ delicate and dry skin to go through. Especially in this harsh summer season.

So after trying many baby creams, I settled for the Baby Sebamed Cream Extra Soft. I had been meaning to try out the baby care range of this German brand for a while as its products have been developed by dermatologists. And they also have the ideal pH level of 5.5.


If you ask me about my experience with the Baby Sebamed Cream Extra Soft, it has been a positive one so far. I’m into a month of using this cream on my baby’s elbows and knees and a very little
quantity of the tube has depleted so far. In my opinion, that’s awesome as this cream is a little expensive – Rs. 637/- for a 200ml tube!

The Baby Sebamed Cream Extra Soft has a very thick consistency so I have to be careful of not applying too much as it can get greasy. A small quantity, however, suffices and moisturizes my baby’s skin really well! There have been no instances of dryness or even rashes for that matter since
I started using this cream. And my baby’s knees and elbows seem to be retaining its smoothness and glow! This makes me believe that the Baby Sebamed Extra Soft cream might also be quite suitable
for babies when they start crawling.

Overall, I really like the Baby Sebamed Cream Extra soft and its mild aroma. I’ll continue using it and would suggest other mommies try it out too on their babies. I hope this article helped you learn a
thing or two about hydrating your baby’s elbows and knees this summer season!

A mother can't see her baby in trouble. When the baby cry restlessly ,the parents also become restless to find out the reason.  During the early stages (from few days to born to 3-4 months old ) babies do fall sick very often.  Colic is one of the very common issue in new born babies or small babies.  If you wonder, what is a colicky baby then let me tell you it is nothing but a disturbed stomach of baby. Gas, indigestion cause colic in babies and it starts after 2-3weeks of the baby born.

Gas, upset stomach can make the baby cranky and cry.  When the baby is crying for a longer duration and parents not able to calm the baby down after so much effort, then colic might be there . There are few things to remember to sooth down a colicky baby . Here I am going to list down 6 ways which I find useful for myself.

1. Warm Bath - A nice warm bath is great for babies to relax their body and relieve stress . Their mind get diverted in this way and the baby become less cranky.

2. Oil massage - Oil massage is very necessary for babies. It soothes their muscles and relax their body and also helps in digestion.  Along with oil massage, knee pushing exercise is also beneficial in digestion .



3. Burping the baby - Burping your baby after each feed is really necessary to release the gas from stomach.  For burping, hold your baby against your shoulder and tap his back gently.

4. Longer feed from each breast - Always make sure to feed your baby longer duration from each breast.  The hind milk which comes after sometime from breast is more nutritious than the foremilk comes immediately from breast after sucking. The hind milk has more fat which helps in proper digestion. Hence continues alternation between the breasts might cause colic and longer switch between each breast can avoid colic issue.

5. Closeness with the baby - Always try to maintain bodily contact with your baby. This will make the baby feel more secure and less cry.  Wear babycarrier to carry your baby and co-sleep is another idea.

6. Let the baby suck - Allow the baby suck fingers, this will ensure good digestion too.


Mothersparsh Ayurvedic Tummy Roll-on :


There are also home remedies to cure colic in baby.  You can use asafoetida ,basil, etc to cure colic issue.  Recently our very own brand mothersparsh has launched 100% Ayurvedic tummy roll on . This has completely natural ingredients, no chemicals and alcohol . It is so skin friendly and can opted for tiny babies too.

Hing oil's antibacterial property helps to treat abdominal colic, gas, flatulence & indigestion. It also cures abdominal pain, constipation & upset stomach in babies.

This priced Rs249/- and available on amazon HERE


There is also an infant care kit available in which you are getting two of their best seller water wet wipes packets and one ayurvedic tummy roll-on.  I think this kit is a must needed it you are a recent new mom or going to be mom..  I too use the same for my new born  baby.

Heya guys..  After a short gap I am back again to my blogging space. Feeling great really.  Well,  Spring season is here but we have started the  feel  of Summer too. You might have packed your winter cloths and stored inside the cupboard and bring out the colourful summer cloths already, am I right ?


So here again I am going to feature Cherrycrumble California's Spring-Summer collection which has some of the amazing, vibrant, bright outfits for kids.  Earlier also I had shared their winter collection HERE . Like the winter collection, the summer collection is also eye catching.  First I will definitely say, the quality of Cherrycrumble's outfit's material is superb.  There is nothing to count as concern. Material, design, comfortness, quality, everything is up-to the mark. You can buy cherrycrumble outfits from online portals like  Firstcry,  Amazon , flipkart, etc.




I have received two outfits for my son and see how are those. .

First, let's talk about the blue T-shirt.  The material of the T-shirt is perfect and very much comfortable for kid's body.  Though it's a really dark shade T-shirt but it doesn't bleed at all while washing. It is in pure cotton material. It looks stylish and summer appropriate which I love more.

Secondly the bright yellow checker shirt is again equally beautiful.  Here also the material ,comfortness and fitting is just perfect.  The material is cotton and do breathable on skin. The bright lemon-y yellow shade is just perfect for hot summer.




Overall my shopping experience was really nice . You can check out the whole spring -summer collection HERE.

The finest place to browse for style ideas is Hollywood and its red carpets when it comes to looking picture-perfect for a special occasion. No unwanted wrinkles, bra straps, or panty lines are ever seen at a red-carpet event.

Let's talk about celebrity style hacks on the red carpet that you can use as inspiration for senior prom or other huge formal occasions:

1. Stay crease-free :

Ever been curious how stars manage to keep their gowns wrinkle-free, from the minute they get out of their limousines, on to the red carpet, and for the remainder of the occasion? According to a celebrity stylist, in order to maintain an un-crumpled and smooth gown, a person's posture is necessary. For instance, to avoid the hip crease that you get when sitting, it is advised if you lean back as much as possible and make sure to smooth the gown first when sitting down.



You can also go see some prom dresses 2019 and check out styles, especially ones that are not as challenging to keep wrinkle-free. You can likewise pick materials like neoprene, which are wrinkle-resistant, or go for the already crinkled appearance of crepe.

2. Prevent noticeable panty lines :

Visible panty lines can be big turn-offs. So, how do celebs and their stylists hack this dilemma? Aside from the development of seamless underwear, some designers, when possible, will stitch the underwear to the dress to ensure a flawless appearance. By customizing these garments, stars manage to dodge unappealing panty lines while also making sure that the undergarments do not move around.

Still remember Angelina Jolie's thigh-high slit at the 84th Academy Awards in 2012? Thanks to her design group who discovered stick-on strapless G-strings, we remember her perfect leg and not a malicious preview of her privates. Particularly, they credit Shibue Couture for completely eliminating the problem of unpleasant panty lines. You can actually create your own sticky seamless underwear using some Topstick adhesives if you're crafty.

3. Show cleavage with appropriate protection :

Lots of stunning senior prom dresses come with plunging (and sometimes, even navel-grazing) neck lines. If you wish to wear one of these, you 'd like the hacks presented by some stylists for celebrities. Not only does this offer enough coverage but it also assists in having the illusion of a cleavage. So, what's the trick? According to design specialists, you can make use of silicone covers and enhancers, breast lifts, and even daily adhesives like Band-Aids and Scotch tape. Surgical and medical tape have also been valuable, with Kristen Bell crediting them for her non-surgical "nip lift."

Some stylists will also make use of deconstructed strapless bras taped on the dress at different angles to accomplish the preferred result.

4. Improve your posture and your shape :

If you want to have the illusion of an hourglass shape, make use of a waist cincher (which is also great for your posture) or pick a gown style that works toward the desired figure. You can likewise have a shapely look with the aid of strategically-placed hip pads, shoulder pads, butt pads, and bodysuits.

5. Wear heels like a royal :

A royal protocol for women is to wear pantyhose, so if you need to, you can follow Kate Middleton's fashion hack of utilising silicone pads that stick to the inside of her high heels. For added convenience, she likewise uses leather insoles that offer extra cushion to her shoe.

Likewise, a no-nonsense style hack among celebrities and royals is going a size up, and even 2, with the shoes to prevent blisters.

And, if you would like to give your heels an extra grip to avoid slips and dance floor emergency situations, use sandpaper on the bottoms of your high heels.

During pregnancy one of the main concern  is getting a proper and comfortable  sleeping position.  We normally love the back or stomach sleeping postion and it is really comfortable too.  But during pregnancy we can't sleep in those positions, it might be harmful for the baby inside the womb.  To be very honest, I am still struggling to get a proper sleep during night (I am on my third trimester currently ).  And I know it is not gonna possible in any way now.  But we can take few precautions to make the sleep pattern comfortable and that's the topic of today.





* Sleep on your back -  It is advisable by the doctor to not sleep on your back during the time period of pregnancy . When we sleep on our back ,it puts pressure on the growing uterus which compress the main artery and other blood vessels.  Because of this the blood and nutrition supply to the baby will not be sufficient. Along with that you might face indigestion issue, constipation, low blood pressure, laziness, etc.  So do avoid sleeping on your back during pregnancy.

* Sleep on stomach - I love sleeping on my stomach down but unfortunately we can't sleep like this during pregnancy.  It is very clear that, when you are sleeping on your stomach, it will put pressure on the baby directly which is not good at all.

* Sleep on left / right side -  Sleeping on sides is the safest way of sleeping during pregnancy.  Moreover sleeping on left is more beneficial for the baby and the body  than sleeping on right side. It allows maximum blood flows to the placenta and nutrition to the baby.  It doesn't put pressure on the kidney. You also don't face any kind of swelling on feet, ankle, etc.


To get a comfortable sleep, the only way is to put pillows to support your back, under your belly, under your feet.  Using loads of pillows make your body comfortable . You can use special kind of pillows which are meant only for pregnant women . Sometimes we sleep and not able to carry the same sleeping pattern whole night.  In case you find yourself sleeping on your back, then no need to feel guilty , just change your sleeping pattern and sleep again.


Note : These are the information which I am sharing on my own experience and also according to my gynecologist's advice.  Do refer your gynecologist before adopting anything to get a smooth pregnancy...

Hope you found this post helpful . See you in the next post with another exciting topic.. Till then stay beautiful.

Heya girls..  How are you all ? After a long time (I guess) I am doing any skincare product review.  That's because I am very particular about my skincare products and don't change them very frequently. If any skincare product suits my skin type, then I do continue using that for a really longer time till I get bored of that.




So recently I have started loving Plum goodness skincare products so much and already using a few.  Will review those one by one. . Plum products have natural ingredients and all vegan which attracts me more towards the brand.  Well, today I am going to write my opinion on Plum Chamomile & White Tea Calming Anti-oxidant Toner which I am using since more than two months now.

Little about the product :



What I love about this :

• Alcohol free toner ,very gentle on skin for everyday use. 
• Has vitamin B3 which maintain skin tone 
• Enrich with soothing and calming plant ingredients like chamomile, green tea,  rooibos leaf,  white tea and olive leaf extracts .
• White tea,  olive leaf and ginkgo biloba has antioxidant properties which helps skin to fight against free radicals. 
• Soothes and calms down skin by giving an instant cooling effect. 
• Paraben-free,  phthalate free, SLS free 
• Convenient packaging 
• Pricing is good 
• A little goes a long way

Due to the hectic and busy lifestyle of these days most of us prefer to shop online . Also now every small small things are available online even you can buy vegetables, milk and all your daily needs online.  This makes our life easy but sometimes people fall in scam or fraud.  As we know everything has its good side and bad side ,so better to prepare yourself according to the situation and take major precautions..  There are few things to remember while shopping online to avoid any kind of issues.  Let's talk about it in detail. .


1 - Go with trusted sites :

On the safe note, always go with trusted sites for shopping. Else you can check the new site's review first, and then try with small purchases initially.   There are new shopping sites which shows attractive offers all the time to attract the customers but in real they are fraud.  So be aware of that.



2 - Compare price :

When you are buying any product from any site, never forget to compare the price of the same product on other sites to avail a great price.  There are also sites which helps you to see price of the same product on different sites on one page . So please keep that in mind.  Specially if you are buying gadgets, electronics item or any high priced product, this will be really helpful for you..


3 - Read product description thoroughly :

Before buying any product online it is good to read the product description thoroughly to avoid any kind of last minute confusion. Every product available online has their product description, specification, usage section below and it is better to check that while adding to cart.

4 - Read reviews :

Like we read product description, it is also equally important to read the reviews too. Reviews with products pictures are more helpful in choosing right product.  Always check that before buying anything.  If you are buying anything from any international website, then checking reviews, ratings, pictures are more required because most of the time we do fall under scam through international sites only.

5 - Check Seller's rating : 

There are sites where you will get same products from different sellers. In that case , you need to check seller's details and reviews too to check their professionalism.

6 - Check shipping cost of any kind of hidden cost : 

Some products has additional shipping charges included and also some has hidden charges which appear at the time of payment, so better to check that beforehand.

7 - Check return policy : 

Not every product is returnable or exchangeable.  So it's good to check out that beforehand . Always read the terms and conditions properly to avoid any kind of hassle during our after shopping.


8 - Choose sites where your card details are secured :

For online shopping we need to add our card details there for easy payment.  So always choose secure payment method . Otherwise you can go with COD option.  But not every site has COD  option, do keep that in mind.

After being a mom, I hardly get time to go outside for shopping specially, hence I normally prefer online shopping these days. So these are the points I do keep in my mind before shopping online and trust me these helps me a lot to save my money and time.

Hope you found this post helpful for you. See you in the next post with another exciting topic, till then stay beautiful. 

Happy shopping ..😄

Xoxo..
