Indian Fashion & Beauty Blog
It feels like ages since I last wrote a post, because well it has been ages. I guess it is pretty evident that I have not been regular on the blog because frankly speaking, I could not put my heart and soul into my work anymore. Even though I was still curating content, I felt my heart wasn’t in it and I wasn’t happy with the end result. I decided to take a month-long break which almost turned into half a year. Even though I am fortunate enough to have made my passion, beauty blogging, into my profession, there are times when I lose that fire in my belly and things get monotonous. More so, when you’re battling your own personal issues.
That said, I feel really lucky, blessed and fortunate to have had started this journey. The entire year, my inbox has been full of messages from my fellow bloggers and readers concerned about my absence. It made me feel so loved when someone commented or messaged me about the lack of posts on the blog. I’m not sure if it was a writer’s block or something else, but I really had to sort out my head; figure out the way I wanted things to go ahead professionally as well as personally.
So what was I upto this whole time? Well, I netflixed alot for starters, watched almost every (decent) movie released in the theaters. I tried to get back to reading but that didn’t last for long. But the best part about the hiatus was that I travelled. I travelled alot and took my first international trip (that too solo) to watch my favorite band Coldplay perform in Singapore (let me know if you want me to write about my travel experiences). I also combined the trip to visit Malaysia which BTW has some of the prettiest beaches I’ve ever seen. So far, I’ve travelled to 2 countries and 11 cities these past 6-7 months. I could do this because of all the hard work that I’ve put in the last 3 years on my blog and the support that you guys have showered us with. I feel really proud saying that I chose not to get any financial support from my folks for following my heart and had the means to do so myself.
Till 2016, my life completely revolved around my blog. Working day and night and hardly having time for other things. I guess I needed the break to follow some of my hobbies, like learning how to swim. I wouldn’t dare say that I’m back yet but yes I’m slowly getting back to blogging, curating new content for my Instagram and brain storming about new ideas. I might not be as regular as I used to earlier but I will try to post as often as I can, a few times a week at best.
I’m trying to keep this short as I rarely post anything personal on my blog. However, I felt I needed to talk about my long break as receiving all your messages, mails and comments meant alot to me even though I rarely replied to them all. I realize I’m very fortunate to have reached the place that I am and I can only thank each one of you for sticking around for so long 🙂

Thank you :)
I have been missing you so much. I will call you in a day or two. If you get time then do give me a ring .. much love
Me too! Do ping me your number I recently switched phones and lost my contacts.
I have missed reading your posts so much! You are one of the first bloggers I felt connected to in terms of content and thoughts. I'm so glad you're finally taking steps and trying to get back. We all need some me time, sometimes it's longer than we anticipate, but as long as you feel good nothing else should matter. So proud of you for being able to do this self-sponsored solo trip, I bet it must've felt so good. Looking forward to more awesome content from you, here as well as on Instagram. Much love! xx
Aditi! It feels so good to hear from you! I love checking out your Insta posts and you totally made my day with your kind and appreciative words xo
When u were MIA and travelling I had a feeling that something is wrong with this girl that she is off blogging. Let her catch up on life, travel and do other things which she loves. I am sure she will be back soon as fast as she feeds her soul. I am glad to see u back like I am the happiestt! ❤️ I really missed you.. message me or something if u feel low. I am always there for you. Ur post inspires me to do more and blog more & I hope its vice versa. I am super proud Mama looking at your success, a friend who started with me and grown so BIG! Remember babe... this is ur true passion and ur boss at it! Keep smiling, slaying! Now...bring it on already!???
P.S- I am just a ping away.
hahaha Rico I feel like you're my soul sister. Thank you for always being such a positive and supportive friend. I'm really happy to see you grow both as a person as well as a blogger. You'll go very very far!
Ur kidding me.. M taking baby steps to blogging! I couldnt do enough justice to my blog as I was juggling between my job and blog. Finally I quit my job and took a decision.. thats it! I can't do Savari on both the boats.. I wish i would be brave enough to start with you. But like they say, Better late than never!!! ❤️ Finally chasing my passion and now u better get posting, u inspire me to write better & I just wait to see your breathtaking gorgeous pictures??
Yeah, I can understand. It gets very difficult to focus on both the things because ultimately blogging is almost a full time profession. I really love reading your posts so keep it up :D
It's so nice to read about what you've been up to, Lee :) Good to know that you had the opportunity to travel, that's so amazing. And maybe do a post on all those fun movies you watched on Netflix, I could surely use some movie recommendations cos I am going through a phase too which I can't name -My nameless phase! And You Go Girl!!! :) <3
Hey babe, I'll surely do a post on my favorite netflix shows and movies soon though they are so addictive that it becomes difficult to do anything else. ha ha. I'm sure you will come out of your phase super soon. We all just need a break at times.
That would be awesome, I don't mind getting addicted because during this phase I don't mind being heavily distracted. It's always fun to chat with you. Take care, <3
I would like to hear more about your experience at coldplay concert. And you should keep writing. This blog is very well written ☺?
oh man! That was absolutely crazy.
Thank you for commenting Himanshu. It's nice to see you here. Will surely keep on writing regularly now :)
Happy to see you back,.. Love to read your travel posts,..
Thank you Shilpa! Will compile that soon.
Nice post, good you took some time off and explore other things that you really want to do.I can totally relate to what you are saying coz I have also been off blogging and exploring other options. We are all with you and respect your decision. Would love to see your travel posts.
Yes, It's important to take out some time to explore other aspects of your life, I realize this now :)
Thanks for sticking around :) Will do a travel post soon.
