THE SMELL OF EARLY MORNINGS....



I used to be an early riser. Walking up just moments before my alarm clocked chimed and getting ready and out while the sky was still waking up. I have become a night owl lately. And that transition hasn't left me with many good things. Late nights mean late mornings and you never seem to be fully awake. And dark circles permanently etch themselves under your eyes…

I'm trying to transition back but truth be told, it hasn't been easy. The few days i have i realise it's definitely better for my mood and productivity. And here are a few things i like about early mornings…

1. The open roads. Mornings see a completely different side of the chaotic city you stay in. Misty, empty and just waking up…There is something calming about watching the sun rise.
2. Breakfast. I love breakfasts and getting up early means enjoying a hot cup of coffee with toast and eggs. Maybe read a book or two…
3. Nights. You end up tired at nights and crash hard. And the sleep you have? It's enough to convince you to walk up early!

In another realm, if i did get up earlier than usual, i'd go for morning walks. One day.

Are you biased to early mornings or late nights?

MAKE IT | SPRAY PAINTED JAR CANDLES (part 02)

In a previous post , we made beautiful spray painted heart jars. Here is part two of the tutorial where I turn those same jars into decadent smelling candles. You need: Candle wax of your choice Candle wick Mason Jar (Follow the tutorial here ) Fragrance Oil  Before you begin, be sure you have the appropriate type and size of the wick. If your jar is wide, make sure wick is wide enough in diameter to burn optimally. And, if its narrow and long, make sure the length of the wick is sufficient enough.  Measure out the amount of wax needed. For this project, I melted the wax in a make-shift double boiler made from two metal containers—one small and one large. Fill water in the large container. Put the wax in the smaller container and place it in the larger one. Melt the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended! While the wax is melting, secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Dip the end in the melting wax and a...

THE MIXTAPE PROJECT / 01

I've been working on this series idea for a while now and finally it's here! The Mixtape Project, a series to document interesting people, their music choices and their personal quirk. Here is my first guest for today... MAYANK KUMAR / DELHI If you could pick one, which superhero would you be?  I don't really follow the superhero concept but if I had to, I guess i'd pick Batman. That's simply because of his sharp mind and his ability to solve humongous issues with just his mere intellect. What would your DJ name be?  Can't imagine myself behind a console wearing earphones bigger than my face. But I guess 'Max' would do? Or just M? What's your favourite joke?  A jealous haryanavi man opened his own momos shop right next to the famous 'Yo! China' and named it 'Yo! Bhi China'. What's the weirdest nickname people call you? Mickey. My first birthday cake had a Mickey Mouse on it. And that's where the name ...
