It's no secret that I love @Amazonhalo and during

It's no secret that I love @Amazonhalo and during the holidays I got the all-new @Amazonhalo View, swipe right [ #ad ] 🎁 If the last 2 years have taught us anything, then it is that nothing is more important than our overall health and wellness and Amazon Halo sure helps me keep on top of mine - from monitoring my activity to measuring my heart rate, to keeping me updated on my sleep quality, to helping me destress through meditation programs, to everything in between 💯 Here are two of my favorite features of Amazon Halo 👇🏽 💚 Halo Fitness features so many awesome exercise programs and workouts to choose from. Whether you want to do cardio, strength, or yoga, you can find it here. 💚 With the Activity feature, Halo automatically tracks walks and other activities that elevate your heart rate for at least 10 minutes and awards you Activity points even when you are cleaning the house or playing with your kids. Goes to show that an intense workout isn't the only way to meet our daily physical activity goals. If you are looking to spend some of the 💰you received this holiday season, then look no further because there is no greater gift than the gift of health 💝

🎄BEST GIFT EVER 🎁 #heartisfull #beyondgrateful Santa isn’t the only one that came to town this December 🎅🏻 Swipe right 👉🏽 After 15 days I finally put on a nice outfit, did my hair and makeup, sat on the floor (a huge achievement at this point), took a few photos to capture some memories (because these littles grow up way too fast)🥰 until my body gave me a reality check an hour later and said, now easy mama, not so soon 🥺 P.S. First 📸 as a family of 4 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
P.P.S. Neither did we want to do matching PJs this year nor did we do any typical gifts 💝 Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas weekend with your loved ones🎄Wishing you all a relaxed last week of 2021, please take time to slow down, reflect and rejuvenate, and more importantly, to be present and enjoy the moment 💜

RAW & REAL 💔 I feel betrayed, angry, cheated on

RAW & REAL 💔 I feel betrayed, angry, cheated on, disappointed, let down & a whole range of other emotions👇🏽 When I was rushed to the ER that not-so-fine Thursday (an episode that was/is beyond scary & traumatic) I didn't think we'd be having our baby that day. I went from being perfectly healthy to being diagnosed with severe & rare pre-eclampsia overnight. Any further delay in getting to the ER apparently meant that I'd have had a seizure (the doctors were surprised that it wasn't already the case given that all my numbers were through the roof), to even think what that could mean to my baby girl in my belly still petrifies me. The blue tag, a WARNING, is to be on my wrist for 6 weeks, if my BP hits those numbers again I'm to be taken directly to the ER to be treated immediately (I've always been one with low BP). For someone who is all about home remedies & rarely opts for tablets, I've taken more medication in the last 12 days than my entire life combined. All of this feels immensely unfair - after preparing my body for a whole year for this pregnancy, after regarding this pregnancy as the most sacred journey ever, after taking utmost care holistically (following ayurvedic practices, eating healthy, doing yoga, working out, etc, etc), after planning for and envisioning an orgasmic home water birth, we ended up with an emergency C-section & an underweight baby (born at 4.14 pounds) & everything came crashing down on me within a matter of hours. Apparently, this diagnosis could also pose other serious health problems for me in the future. I took every curve ball thrown my way during this pregnancy in my stride & didn't complain once. And then to go through this experience completely shattered me. In the last 12 days, I've broken down way more times than I can count - as they poked me and my baby girl at least half a dozen times at the hospital to draw blood for various tests daily, as I grieve what should have been vs what is, as my BP fluctuates up & down every day, as I continue to feel dizzy & shaky daily, & more importantly as I see my baby girl having to work extra hard to put on weight.

🥳 DRUM ROLL 🥁 Introducing our newest additio

🥳 DRUM ROLL 🥁 Introducing our newest addition, our new love and light, Aadhira, strong-minded, creative and illuminating like the moon 🌙 👼🏽 She was born on Dec 10 past midnight and is now (already) a week old 🧿 📍Don’t be fooled by how I look in these pics (there’s nothing a little makeup + a nice dress can’t mask, externally), I am in immense pain physically, mentally, and emotionally. 😱 Last Thursday my whole world turned upside down, some of which I am still processing myself (see the blue tag on my wrist, more on that later). ⚠️ Though the road ahead looks long, windy, and bumpy, I’m currently mustering the strength to continue to keep at it, and immensely grateful for when and how this angel came into our lives Earth side (even though it was far from what I had envisioned and planned for) 🙏🏽 🥰 #miraclebaby ✍🏽 To be continued

Seemantha (Godh Barai), Baby Shower, or even Bless

Seemantha (Godh Barai), Baby Shower, or even Blessingway (based on how you choose to partake in it) is all about celebrating (new) motherhood! 🥳 🤰🏽 While every culture and community in the world has its own traditions associated with the baby shower, the essence of it remains the same - honoring a women's pregnancy and journey into motherhood, nurturing her through it, showering her and the baby (and the dad-to-be) with love and blessings, praying for their well being, and also warding off evil spirits and evil eyes while at it. 🍀 Per our ancient culture, we perform Seemantha during the odd number months (most popular being the 7th month). Seemantha is one of the 16 Hindu samskaras (known as simantonnayana in Sanskrit). 💝 As part of the rituals and ceremony, on an auspicious day and time, the mom-to-be takes a holy bath, is dressed in new clothes (specifically green) and glass bangles, kumkuma (vermilion) is applied on her forehead, and turmeric on her face, hands and feet (gandha and/or sandalwood paste are also used), her hair is adorned with flowers, various puja/homa are performed accompanied by chanting/playing sacred mantras (music and mantras are a huge part of our tradition and culture, the Vedic mantras are extremely powerful both for the mother and the baby). And last but not the least, five different kinds of snacks, sweets, fruits, plus a whole range of pregnant moms’ favorite dishes all become part of the celebrations. 🎋 Finally, the pregnant mama’s lap is (symbolically) filled with abundance (Bengal gram, dry coconut, jaggery, etc), elders/loved ones bless her and the baby (with akshate - rice mixed with turmeric), and the ceremony is concluded with harathi (diya placed in holy water waved at her to ward off the evil eyes). 🥰 P.S. With everything going on we had decided to skip baby shower this time (while I had 3 last time around, more on stories), but once my parents got here they changed that and we had a simple, intimate celebration with what matters most 🤲🏽♥️🙏🏽 #heartisfull #blessedbeyondmeasure

Slowing down, letting go, surrendering - were my b

Slowing down, letting go, surrendering - were my biggest intentions for this year 2021 ❤️‍🔥 But little did I know the mindblowing ways in which I'd be presented the opportunity to learn to do just that (& more)!? A major theme in my/our life ATM is, of course, the 👼🏽 in my belly (been so most of 2021)! 🤲🏽 I've always believed/said that my son is my biggest teacher & test in my life! Interestingly enough, I was told by a gifted person (back in Jan, even before we got pregnant) that our 2nd kid would be my biggest teacher, EVER! While I didn't fully dismiss that statement I didn't entertain it either, solely because there was still a lot of time for my unconceived baby to be my teacher, right? ❌ WRONG Very soon I was about to find out just how it'd all unfold👇🏽 💯 Baby #2 has been a phenomenal teacher to me/us long before we even conceived (from the very 1st time I heard its voice convey a msg to me (last Oct), shortly after we'd decided to have another kid). Now that might sound crazy to many, but it's our reality! 🎢 While our journey until conception came with its own learnings, the journey from conception until now has been a roller coaster ride, to say the least... My 2 pregnancies have been starkly different, when I look back I know exactly why - the person I was 5yrs ago & what I wanted/needed to learn from my 🤰🏽 then vs now is distinctively different... 💥 Every step of the way has been an exceptional learning opportunity, allowing me to see for myself just how much I'm willing to let go & surrender to the whole process!? Every time I think I've fully & completely surrendered, there's another curveball telling me otherwise, 'let's see if you will push further'!? 🔮 That's the thing about surrendering, right? You NEVER arrive, it's the journey #iykyk 🥴 I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that this has all been quite stressful too, but what's made a difference is how we handle it! 🙏🏽 This year, beyond everything I'm thankful for every.single.day, what I’m most grateful for is the opportunities life presents me/us with to learn & uplevel beyond measure! OTN, hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend! Stay open to miracles 🪄
