Far from formulaic @ladolcekavita #BeautyUnbottled is an Ayurvedic beauty and wellness bible that’s a deeply researched, enlightening read. Kavita has a knack for offering ancestral recipes and traditions in a way that fits into contemporary lifestyles – while still retaining the essence of Ayurveda.
I’m pleased to contribute the foreword since Ayurveda has played a significant role in my healing as well for the fact of Kavita starting one of my favourite holistic beauty brands @purearth
Available now wherever fab books are sold

In honour of Sufi and Soleil’s birthday, Mumsie aka @dipikablacklist sent treats and raincoats to St Catherine’s Home on Mount Mary, and I’m not crying. Really. Just have something in my eye.
It’s very important to show our kids the path of kindness and seva- of honouring the other as if there were no separation between us, because in truth, there isn’t. We are ‘interbeings’ and we are one.
Thank you @dipikablacklist @shainaagarwala @rahulagarwala @jaiagarwala for being fiercest and most loving familia ❤️
Happy Yoga Day!
My time on the mat is sacred and inner eye led, so I rarely take photos. However here’s me practising warrior in an old feature shot in Udaipur, just to pay obeisance to the practise that brings me home. Every time.

Fletcher Pilates floor work. Yummy. Delicious way to end the week with my girl @shaaziaq @thepaddxb
APOLOGIES: due to technical issues I couldn’t join @ladolcekavita for the IG live yesterday. However Kavita can hold her own on all topics related to Ayurveda, Holidtic wellness and conscious beauty. Pick up a copy of BEAUTY UNBOTTLED to bring ritual as remedy and incorporate ancestral wisdom back into your everyday life 🙏🏼
REPOST @ladolcekavita with @get__repost__app TONIGHT, we are going LIVE😍✨
I will be taking over the @penguinindia Instagram handle to go live with Lisa Ray @lisaraniray at 7 pm IST🤩
Lisa has written the foreword for BEAUTY UNBOTTLED, which is now ranked 4 on Amazon🥰
Lisa is an actor, writer, activist and a poet.
“This conscious beauty bible represents—in my mind—ritual as remedy for the 21st century. Approach this as you would a space for self-care, a well of self-discovery, an opportunity to make the lived details of life more aesthetically pleasing, more coherent, more fun.”
– Lisa Ray
Thank you @lisaraniray for your beautiful words in the foreword🥰
Tune in for a fun, interactive talk and learn about Ayurveda, Kavita’s and Lisa’s experiences in beauty, health and wellness🌿✨🌺
BEAUTY UNBOTLLED is a guide and self-help book which debunks many a modern myth, delving into the science of skincare while honouring time tested, traditional recipes🙌🏻✨

@kathy.giusti is not only my personal idol; she established an organization that has disrupted the entire medical ecosystem to benefit Multiple Myeloma patients and beyond. Kathy lifted me when I desperately needed it. I remember her voice radiating from my phone, spilling hope and resilience through the Chemo ward as we chatted while I was hooked up during an infusion. Kathy’s efforts have changed the outcome for countless cancer patients. When a trip I tried to to take for @themmrf fund raising event (the pioneering organization she started to accelerate treatment options for MM patients) was thwarted by my side effects, I recall her telling me : ‘take rest Lisa. This is a marathon. You can’t run it all at once. Save your energy and be kind to yourself.’
Dearest Kathy, you’ll get through this, but I want to echo back the same. You have been tireless, you’ve achieved the impossible, now is the time to lean on others and nurture your body and soul.
Sending love and gratitude always ❤️
@kathy.giusti @themmrf
REPOST @kathy.giusti with @get__repost__app A few months ago I was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. As a cancer expert, I thought “I’ve got this”. Truth is, cancer is never easy. Here’s what I’ve learned.

Mind Wanting More
BY HOLLY J. HUGHES
Only a beige slat of sun
above the horizon, like a shade
pulled not quite down. Otherwise,
clouds. Sea rippled here and
there. Birds reluctant to fly.
The mind wants a shaft of sun to
stir the grey porridge of clouds,
an osprey to stitch sea to sky
with its barred wings, some dramatic
music: a symphony, perhaps
a Chinese gong.
But the mind always
wants more than it has—
one more bright day of sun,
one more clear night in bed
with the moon; one more hour
to get the words right; one
more chance for the heart in hiding
to emerge from its thicket
in dried grasses—as if this quiet day
with its tentative light weren’t enough,
as if joy weren’t strewn all around.
It’s human nature to identify with particular forms of self-expression – as in, I am a writer, I work with words – but it’s also limiting. Pursuing creativity in any and all forms is my new mantra. It’s an approach that’s only become accessible to me at 50 when my self consciousness is at almost nil: I’ve matured into suede shoes that kick up puddles on rainy days. Tricky mind doesn’t have as much influence over me anymore. And in that note, I’m so glad @farahnasrawi came into my life
REPOST @farahnasrawi with @get__repost__app Many individuals prefer to take up one-on-one classes with me because they want that time for themselves, while learning how to paint. I find it very rewarding for the person (and for myself) and it allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling stressed out. Also, did I mention that I usually meet amazing individuals whom I get to share lovely, interesting conversations with?

Today, June 30th 2022, is the day Period Matters is officially in the world, in bookshops, and available from online bookselling platforms.
I’m thinking of all the amazing, no, phenomenal contributors, the generous strangers I interviewed, the friends who supported me, the editorial team at Pan Macmillan, my website designer and my family.
And thanks to all the readers who will hold the book, turn its pages, watch the dance, see the art, and read the stories.
Hopefully you will feel the anthology’s power, which I’ve felt while bringing it together.
I’ve enjoyed and loved every aspect of working on it. As a friend said, the book has my heart and soul.
Thank you to everyone who has pre ordered their copies.
The website has a new page, Postcards, with more photos of the book’s journey.
www.periodmattersbook.com
To celebrate this momentous event, we will be doing a Panties with Purpose distribution in Kenya with the Ramgarhia Youth Association and the Lions Club to support 400 girls in Amboeseli with 4 pairs of underpants each.
The book will be available in Kenya, hopefully very soon, from Savani’s Bookshop.

You ever come across a woman that leaves you thinking “wow, women 😍”? That was us when our founder got to meet actress and author @lisaraniray.
Being the multiracial child of an Indian man and a Polish woman, Lisa struggled with her identity her entire life. As a deeper dive into her memoir Close to the Bone, Lisa told our founder about her experience as a mother, her time spent working on movie sets, her fight with cancer, and so much more. Lisa emphasises the hidden strengths that all women possess and we enjoy nothing more than getting to know the strong faces of women who enjoy Brulée Beauty 🤎
