Didi Taught Me, EP 01: How to Extend a Saree ✨ A Didi Taught Me, EP 01: How to Extend a Saree ✨

A little series for all the things your big sister would’ve taught you.

Kicking things off with a saree trick I’ve sworn by for years, especially for my tall and curvy girls. Because sometimes six yards just isn’t enough for the pleats AND the pallu we want!

Save this for your next saree moment, and tell me, what should Didi share next? 🫶🏽

What are we wearing to Diwali parties this year?! What are we wearing to Diwali parties this year?! 🪔

I shared this on stories and it struck a chord with so many of you! And I’m strictly talking about industry parties here, because I think most of our house parties and smaller gatherings are quite chill.

Personally, I’m making an effort to shop my own closet, mix and match pieces I already love, and be more mindful about adding new ones that I can wear well beyond the festive season.

Are you shopping your closet, buying something new, or doing a little bit of both?
The familiar bhajans, the smell of dhoop, a warm d The familiar bhajans, the smell of dhoop, a warm diya… 🪔 It’s these little rituals that make ghar feel like ghar.

May the spirit of Navratri fill your hearts and homes. 🔱✨
Pre-soaked ghee diyas 🪔 less mess, more light ✨ O Pre-soaked ghee diyas 🪔 less mess, more light ✨

One of my favorite little Diwali prep hacks. Make a batch ahead of time and you’ll have ready-to-use jyots/battis whenever you need them, especially during busy puja days.

You’ll need:
✨ Small ice cube tray
✨ Cotton wicks
✨ Ghee

How to:
1. Melt ghee until liquid.
2. Place a wick in each compartment, keeping it upright with a skewer.
3. Pour in ghee, about ¾ full.
4. Let set (refrigerate to speed it up).
5. Pop out + store in a cool, dry place.
That’s it! 🪔

Comment “diya” and I’ll DM you the full guide, links + a few extra tips.

I saw this little matchstick holder and immediatel I saw this little matchstick holder and immediately thought 💭 this would make the cutest dhoop dani for my mandir! 🪔

I light dhoop every day, so having something small, simple, and easy to clean up was exactly what I needed.

If you want one for your mandir too, just comment DHOOP and I’ll send you the link to the dhoop, holder & lighter. ✨

This summer, I got to help my Dad create social content for his nonprofit, @feedhungernow . And while he may have retired on paper, this man truly never stops working, especially when it comes to serving others and his community. 🌱

He’s also always been the most loving Dad, never shy about expressing his love and emotions with us. And today, he’s the warmest, most cuddly Baba our girls could have asked for. 🤍

We are so lucky to call him ours 🫶🏼
