If you are like me and love to live in a clean home but cannot clean all day - this post is for you! Routines are the key to live happily! What is a Routine? (According to dictionary) - "A sequence of actions regularly followed"; "It is followed as a regular procedure rather than a special event" My morning routine, involves doing a little bit everyday to maintain my home and this has saved me from going into cleaning marathons (remember when guests show up?!) so many times. There was a time when I used to being jerked into wakefulness by a loud unpleasant alarm and would drag myself out of bed at 6:30 am, pretending to be awake until its as late as 7 am and then rush into the bathroom, wear whatever is available, stuff mouthful of breakfast followed by rushing to the bus stop almost missing my school bus. I remember being in awe of my class teacher. She was this beautiful lady who was always put together. She dressed elegantly, her hair was neatly plait

Yes! You read it right. Eating only when you are actually hungry and in moderation is the No-1 weight loss mantra (which you will hear me repeat a lot in this post). Ayurveda suggests:                                                    "mita ahara, mita vihara, mita ayasa" Meaning - It is advisable to have moderation in eating, activity and rest.                               Food is the most important aspect of being alive. We don't really need a buffet full of food to stay alive. Starters, main-course followed by sweet desserts are only to feed our taste buds. Yes that amazing sensation of taste, which lasts no longer than few minutes. We humans are not just the physical body, we have an intellectual body within us, an emotional aspect and also a deep layer called "Self". All these layers in us are affected by the food we eat. Hence, eating is very important. Some people need 3 proper meals to get through the day and some have 6 small meals,
