Tip#1: All-in-1 Beauty Hack!

Did you know? You can use one mask that can work as a scrub, cleanser and mask?

Soak 3 tbsp orange Masoor Dal overnight. Make a paste out of it and store it in an airtight jar in fridge. Every morning apply it on face and wash gently.

You can add a pinch of turmeric & 2-3 drops of your favorite facial oil for added benefits, as per your skin’s requirement.

No need to use any face wash at all!

    Hello everyone! It is so good to be back here after a good 2-3 week break for my personal rejuvenation. Isn’t it good to take some break once in while? Even if it means giving yourself all the time to leave aside all the worries and just focus on breathing and self-care? I really loved it and I sincerely thank a few of you who messaged and checked on me and inquired about some recipes with me. So, in my last posts I shared some basic tip on how to make your pantry Vegan-friendly and reduce your cooking time by stocking up some essentials. In this last part, let me…

    For those who have the time and the inclination to make vegetable stock, though, the reward is in the flavor. Making it is simple and can be a good way to use parts of vegetables that we may usually discard. To do this, wash and save the stalks, leaves, peelings, roots and ends of vegetables after using them, and keep them in a bag or container in the freezer. Your homemade vegetable stock can be a life changing habit in vegan cooking, check the recipe below.

Hope you liked the simple hummus recipe which I posted in there! As much as people are going gaga over the trendy Keto and Vegan Diets, we have come across a major rise in number of people who are opting Gluten Free Diet, either due to some allergies or for weight loss or celiac disease or just non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Thus, Gluten Free and Detox Diets do play a major role in healthy cooking, especially for plant based alternatives. Luckily, there are these wonderful and…

  • History and Modern Day Veganism

    May 24, 2020 /

    Most recently, during the 2010s, veganism has entered mainstream culture and is increasingly identified as a major diet style. Increasing concerns for the environment, animal welfare, and health have been synonymous with a marked increase in vegan-friendly food outlets, new vegan products, and plant-based meat imitations. The market for plant-based alternatives is flourishing while diluting the purpose and benefits of whole-foods, plant-based nutrition to an extent. Vegan diet now has a variety of junk food options available, so as to allow non-vegans to make a switch easy.

About me

Disha Solanki

Disha Solanki

Hey there! I am Disha Solanki from Mumbai, India. I am so glad you visited this small corner of my heart! This blog is the onset of my journey of learning and growth. I love cooking and I am a sucker for DIY stuff, minimalism, mindfulness and journaling. I believe that every spot on this universe has on it something to learn from. I have recently loved indulging in yoga, meditation and my spiritual discovery. Apart from a full-time job at a financial firm, I like to develop content, do DIY skincare and hobbies. I also enjoy cooking a lot for my friends and family. I believe that the positivity, healing vibes & energy do transfer from the cook to the person having the food. I am here to share my good vibes with you'll and seek your love in return. Also, I am vegan since April 2017, and that is one of my best decisions ever. Would love to hear from you! Wish you happiness, love and peace, always.
