Health obsessed, product junkie, cosmetic hoarder, beauty expert: As the former-Beauty Director of leading women’s magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Women's Health in India, I’ve been all these things at once. And even after writing on health and beauty for over 15 years, my appetite for delicious skincare and sumptuous makeup hasn’t dimmed...

So lovely to finally meet you Jasmin - it’s like we’ve known each other for years ❤️ #munichgermany #irmasworld #vbeauty #fridaymood @irmasworld
Thank you @nandinibhalla for this GLOWing review! ❤️❤️❤️ . #Repost @nandinibhalla with @get_repost ・・・ I just finished (and utterly, thoroughly enjoyed) reading Glow: Indian Foods, Recipes and Rituals for Beauty, Inside and Out. I’ve never been a ‘natural beauty’ kind of girl, but was delighted with the Ayurvedic recipes for glowing skin, better sleep, and a healthier body and mind. This book was unputdownable...and for a non-fiction, that’s saying something. A shoutout to the fabulous author @vasudha.rai, who has written this book not just with incredible knowledge and know-how, but also large portions of passion (and a pinch of saffron for calm). Thanks to you, I’m an Ayurvedic beauty convert!
Great trivia for party season! Hit the link in my bio to get your own copy of GLOW.
As GLOW goes into the second reprint, it’s still the number one best seller in lifestyle on @amazondotin, more than a month after release. Thank you guys for your massive support! To get your own copy hit the link in my bio. And yes, the book is also available in a Kindle version.
Thank you Neysa for this GLOWing review ❤️🤗🙏 #Repost @goodslice with @get_repost ・・・ Spent the weekend cosying up with @vasudha.rai’s excellent book Glow. It’s a practical guide to using a variety of Indian plants, herbs and natural ingredients for better health, skin, energy ~ really, a better life. . I love its approach ~ how traditional wisdom is accompanied by scientific knowledge. Each chapter focuses on a single ingredient and comes with clear instructions over how to use it. It’s full of easy little recipes and rituals for “beauty, inside and out”. . Honestly, when it comes to ‘beauty’, I’m not too great with makeup. I’ve a mild interest at best, usually brought upon by an annual well-intentioned you’ve-gotta-use-make-up-in-your-*insert-every-age* lecture from a friend. I’d love to be better at it, but 🤷🏻‍♀️, I like things simple. But Glow’s nutrition-centric approach to beauty is one I totally understand, and try to follow. So I’m excited to have a whole new slew of little rituals and herbs to try out. Also hey, this would totally be a gender neutral book. 👫 . Oh, and a little tip I picked up from @vasudha.rai at her book launch ~ she’s been drinking @organicindiaofficial’s Tulsi Brahmi tea which has helped her with both anxiety and mental clarity. So it keeps you both calm and mentally alert, which is really ridiculously amazing. Gonna be drinking that on the daily now, and seeing how it works for my body. 🤞🏽 . P.S. It’s so well priced on Amazon, where it’s already a bestseller but also on discount at Rs. 189. . . . #glow #allgoodnojunk #ayurveda

The Delhi event for my book was a culmination of all the hard work I’ve put in for not just months but years. Glow is my labour of love and I chose the full moon night of 25th September to celebrate with family and friends. The harvest moon of September seemed like the perfect time to reap what I had sowed. My brother @varunrana16 put together a beautiful display of herbs, flowers, fruit, veg and spices at @bikaner_house. It was a cosy evening that was even more special with @bombaysapphire as the alcohol sponsor and @kamaayurveda who were kind enough to do gift bags for the guests. The night ended with me slightly drunk, happy and cuddling with my mommy - bliss. .... Full moon photo: @naina .... #stircreativity #vbeauty #lookluxeliveclean #naturalbeauty #beautybook #theglowbook
