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...

Ok so this will not sound new, but good skin is 80% what you eat. And you know why? Because eating local, seasonal, freshly-cooked food helps detoxify the body, balance hormones and give you a big boost of nutrients. Good skincare and supplements only work when you sort out your diet. I have seen the difference in my health after I started eating clean. I used to get terrible migraines but after cutting out sugar they have literally vanished. I don’t plan to cut out sugar, dairy and grains completely and forever. I mean life must be enjoyed. But I do plan to limit the intake and choose to eat them only when it’s worth it. When I say worth it I mean when it’s my favourite, for instance a really good profiterole or a supremely delicious piece of cheese. But 90% of the times we should eat nourishing food. If I was in India right now I’d be eating lauki, karela, mung chilas, jamun, mango with lots of coconut water. Eating well isn’t rocket science - it’s common sense. - - - - - - - - - - #vbeauty #lookluxeliveclean #eatclean #freshfood #beautyexpert #clearskin #glow #wellnesswarrior
My skin has been feeling extremely clogged and has also been breaking out recently. I’m pretty sure that the two synthetic hormones that I’m on for my endometriosis are responsible for this. But this new routine has helped drastically improve its condition. Read the full post at www.vbeauty.co.

Went a bit crazy salt shopping in Nice. I mean, who doesn’t love French salt? - - - - - - #vbeauty #lookluxeliveclean #frenchsalt #smokysalt #truffle #provence #provencalherbs #nofilter

Located in the heart of old town, Oliviera is the best restaurant in Nice. The owner pairs each dish with different types of artisanal olive oils that he travels to handpick himself. This restaurant is open for lunch only. Oh by the way those are garlic flowers, and there’s a slice of apple under the ‘guacamole’. #oliviera #oliveoil #delicious #mediterranean #nofilterneeded #nicefrance🇫🇷
When I’m France get a haircut. This was by Stephane at Dessange on Promenade des Anglais in Nice. No blow dry, just rough and ready, exactly the way I like to wear my hair. - - - - - - - - - - #vbeauty #loouxeliveclean #frenchhaircut #washandwearhair #longbob #lob #newhaircut #nofilter

If you’ve been following my stories you know that @dramyshah has put me on an anti inflammatory #grainfree, #sugarfree and #dairyfree diet for three months. This is to keep my endometriosis under control. Pain is a symptom of inflammation so I’m trying to bring it down. ——————————— This is a typical breakfast. Mixed berries, half an avocado, turmeric hummus, soaked almond, and a one egg mixed-herb omelette with microgreens. I’m in Germany these days so eating what is local here. If I was in India I would be eating Indian berries like jamun and phalsa and the avocado would be replaced with mung bean sprouts. —————————— I’m also taking 3gm of good quality omega 3 and 1000iu of vitamin D everyday. —————————— Check out my stories for other grain-sugar-and-dairy free meal inspirations. For those in india you can eat lots of lentils and beans, mung dal and besan chilas and Indian fish like mackerel. - - - - - - - - - #vbeauty #lookluxeliveclean #inflammation #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosisdiet #healthyfats #antioxidants #protein
I swear, nobody does makeup like the French. You can buy all your Hudas and blah blah palettes but nothing beats a Guerlain, Dior, Chanel, or Cle de Peau. In this look I first brushed @chanel.beauty Vitalumiere Compact Doucer all over my face. Then I dabbed @guerlain Multi Perfecting Concealer under the eyes sides of the nose and on slight blemishes. Dusted the temples, jawline and cheekbones with @guerlain Terracotta Bronzer. And finally @diormakeup Lip Glow in 010 Holo Pink. I love that French makeup looks so natural and yet beautifully finished. It’s perfect for summer when you want to look polished but not done up. - - - - - - #vbeauty #lookluxeliveclean #frenchmakeup #glow #bronzedskin #naturalmakeup #nofilterneeded
