Zero Waste Journey: BYOU (Bring Your Own Utensils) and BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle)

Sep 30, 2019

SodaBottleOpenerWala Berry Pulao Parsi Food Delhi




Just an update on bring-your-utensils (what is it called exactly?) I tried this first at a 'chaat' shop where I gave my box for packaging and denied the plastic box/bag. I have been doing the same and are some pointers and funny things to note:

1. I prefer cooking at home but when I want to eat outside, I eat at the restaurant. I guess I do deserve that time to enjoy my hot meal presented how it was supposed to be.

2. If I know that I might order more to bring back home, I carry steel tiffin boxes (lighter than glass) in a tote bag. This picture is at Soda Bottle Opener Wala where I packed the extra Berry Pulao ( soooo yum!!). The waiter was intrigued. I informed that I am trying to avoid my food get in touch with plastic* and he inquired, "So, you were aware that you will order extra?" If only he was aware of my mild social anxiety because of which I 'study' menus before even reaching restaurants.

3. Small shops are more welcoming to the idea. They do not question much and are happy to save their packaging material. Win-win.

Empties (August & September 2019)

Sep 24, 2019




You might have heard me say this several times but for the sake of repeating myself here it is again - When you wish to zero waste, there might be times when you just want to throw away all your plastic bottles and replace them with newer and better options. But, the plastic in your home is already made. If you use your products more than needed, you are wasting and overconsuming.

Therefore, my bathroom shelf still has several plastic bottles but I aim to remove that by the end of 2020. For now, check out my recent empties. Most of them were reviewed on the blog.

Dear Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil Review

Sep 4, 2019



If what you use to clean your face, irritate you even the slightest bit (Example you cannot keep your eyes open) then it is not for you.

If it tugs or needs to be used repeatedly, then do yourself a favor by stop using it and save yourself from wrinkles and dark circles.

So, in the end, I always prefer cleansing balm or oils.

I do not use base makeup, but I still use deep cleansers because the pollution surrounding us is dangerous. It can be damaging to sleep with all dirt - almost like sleeping with makeup on. Plus, I used Sugar Smudge me not lipsticks so, I need something substantial.

I found this bottle of Klairs in one of Nykaa's luxe store I think back in January (I do not remember clearly, but it was definitely during winter). I had heard about the brand. I wanted to try their blue serum, but it was not available. In the end, I decided to give this one a try because I do use cleansing oil.
