3 Reading “Big Love” from Vogue India’s June Issue (pg 68) with green tea

(‘Big Love’ a must read – funny, witty and inspiring)

“I’ve developed a kind of body dysmorphia. Being surrounded by skinny people makes me think I am way thinner than I really am”

“Would I, in the end, admit that I was big (definitely), beautiful (meh) and proud of every curce (except that one, and that one….). It’s a lie, really. Everyone wants to be thin. Don’t judge me.”

5 Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90… time is a concept that humans created

Unpopular opinion: being a good influence > being an influencer.

✨ being a better version of ourself is the motto 🙌🏼
🙅🏻‍♀️ Stop following ppl who are creating toxic influencer on your life - consumerism, constant unboxing videos, fake social lives that doesn’t match the reality, unrealistic beauty standards….

Which one would you try before 2026 ends?

Most people don’t know but Dubai is surprisingly vegan friendly 🇦🇪🌱. And if you’re like me, you’re in for a surprise… the city has many decadent desserts to satisfy your sugar cravings 🍨 🍮.

Here’s a list of some of my fav vegan desserts - from chocolate to non-chocolate treats, it’s got everything!

Let me know in the comments box below what’s your fav #vegandessert in Dubai 🇦🇪

#vegandubai #dubaivegan

The vegan tiramisu at @sohumwellness.cafe is so delicious - perfectly creamy, moist, you can’t tell it’s vegan!

This guilt-free chocolate treat made with avocado at @thefreshstorydubai veggie cafe is super yum!

It’s hard to pick one flavor at this #vegan ice cream shop at Al Seef @kindkones_ae. They have vegan cone too, I live visiting them during sunset hour - watching the magical hour at Dubai’s old world charm by the water with this delicious treat is just perfect way to unwind!

If you love guilt free treats - there’s nothing better in town than #veganbrownies from @healthypatisserie

Their dessert menu keeps changing as per season but love every version of @planetterradubai’s chocolate cake!

Honestly @the_gentle_oven makes the best Dream Cakes. The chocolate one is my favorite but they also do other flavours if you wanna try something that’s not cacao! Every layer from the moist chocolate sponge to the ganache to the hard shell on top is perfection!

Did I mention their chocolate chip cookies? It’s the best I’ve ever had! 🍪

If you’re tired of everything chocolate in desserts the. You got to try the vegan banoffee pie at @sevatable. It’s rich, caramelised flavor with a distinct hint of salt to ground the sweetness makes it just the perfect treat to satiate your sugar cravings - minus the guilt (there’s no refined or cane sugar used in their deserts)

There are cupcakes and then there are @sugargram_me’s bite sized vegan cupcakes. Not only are they yum but they come in such cute packaging too that’s also perfect for gifting (or not)!

Not everyone would label pancake as a dessert - but this orange blossom coconut cream Pankaj’s from @wildandthemoonuae definitely makes it on my list. Fluffy, yummy and gluten free with clean ingredients. The orang

Choose compassion!

Just because we’ve always eaten animals and treated them as objects doesn’t mean it’s right 🙅🏻‍♀️

Humanity evolves when we question old habits, expand our compassion, and recognize that animals are individuals…. not products, possessions, or commodities. 🌱

Bhutan doesn’t want mass tourism. That’s exactly why you should visit. 🇧🇹
They charge $100 a day just to let you in (for Indians its ₹1200).

No skyscrapers. No billboards. No crowds.
And honestly? It’s the most beautiful decision a country ever made.

While the rest of the world builds faster, taller, louder — Bhutan chose forests over factories, happiness over GDP, and temples over tourist traps. Its also one of the most happiest country on this planet.

The result: the only carbon-negative country on Earth. A place where the entire kingdom looks like a living heritage site — because it’s protected by law.

And for vegan & conscious travelers? Plenty of local and organic produce, and most restaurants & hotels are very accomodative, so they’ll customise for every dietary need - Jain, vegan, gluten free 🌱.

🏨 Hotels we stayed:
@thepostcarddewa - Thimphu 📍
@pemakobhutan - Punakha 📍
@comouma.bhutan - Paro 📍
Sustainable luxury options @sixsensesbhutan @amankorabhutan

This isn’t a trip you take. It’s a pace of life you borrow — and never quite return.
Swipe → to see why Bhutan should be your next (slow) escape.

📌 Save this for when you’re ready to travel differently.

💬 Tell me: would you pay a daily fee for a country this protected?

Who says vegan travel is hard? From stunning mountains with luxury vegan hotels in Italy, to a city that blends ultra-modern futuristic technology with ancient traditions & pop-culture boasting an incredible vegan culinary scene - every VEGAN must visit these 8 places!

Places like London and LA should be on top of the list, but I haven’t added them as everyone knows it!

👉🏻 Vegan Hotels mentioned in the post are:
🇲🇽 Mexico - @thehouseofaia in Playa Del Carmen, a luxury resort in literally what feels like paradise (its plantbased, they have a vegan all day cafe and taco truck, the other restaurants serve meat but the preparations are done in separate section so no cross contamination).
🇹🇭 Thailand - @awaychiangmai in Chiang Mai, mind blowing food and service.
🇮🇹 Italy - @paradisopureliving (I didn’t have a good experience with Jain food, but I think otherwise they’re doing a good job) and my fav @lavimeaveganhotel - they’re both in and around Dolomites region

🇳🇱Netherlands now officially recommends reducing meat consumption, cutting cheese intake by half, and increasing plant-based proteins.

Why? Because food choices impacts m our health, and also the climate.

And the shift goes beyond advice….. Amsterdam has even banned meat advertisements in public spaces to encourage lower-emission food choices.

A fascinating example of how climate policy is increasingly showing up in everyday life. 🌱

What can we do?
Let’s ditch animal foods and embrace a plant based diet. Compassion + health

#SustainableLiving isn’t complicated or restricting. Sharing 6 things I really wish I knew before I started this journey - so I wasn’t overwhelmed… and hoping it will make your journey more fulfilling and less stressful.

We’re messy, imperfect humans.
Perfectionism doesn’t get you anywhere / neither in your care for the planet 🌎. Every action counts - so this #worldenvironmentday - let’s start with small actions, no matter how insignificant it seems.
