If your morning starts on a happy note, does it make your whole day better?

Lately, I prefer my day to start on a calm note.

I’ve been taking a break from work, which gives me space to curate my mornings.

I am mostly indoors during the day, so I conceptualize projects that make my immediate surroundings pleasant. This Pinterest DIY has been in mind for a while.

(Something close to a shishi-odoshi, but without wanting to chase the deer away😊 Where we live, we hardly see one or two near the forest border, asking us for treats)

mabh is now Lancemade®

Hello everyone!

I bring good news today. 😊

Lancemade® is ours! The trademark is registered and approved by the Indian government.

The product is getting a fresh look with our customized bottle mould and artistic-vintage labels like I've always wanted! The new bottles will be out from Febraury 2021. I would like to tell you, the formula is unchanged, it is the same as in 2013 when we launched the first bottle. It's just the packaging that we are revamping with a new brand name. 

Unfortunately, our attorney couldn’t get the trademark ‘mabh’ and we had to part with it. Do you like Lancemade? (Suggested by our close-knit community.)

My one year hair growth journey, hair regime & before and after pictures

My one year hair growth journey, hair regime & before and after pictures

Hello, MABH readers!

UPDATE: October 5, 2025.
After
a decade and half, I still receive emails about my hair-growth journey. Nostalgic and grateful. Thank you for being around and reading my blogs.😊 I'd like to mention that I stick to our signature hair oil to this day. (Previously known under the name Mabh fast growth hair oil, with old blogger/wordpress reviews still on search engines, now renamed to Lancemade since we got the trademark approved for the said name.) It has become a holygrail for our patrons, hence I am not touching the formula for life.

A brief note: I penned this blog post during my school days thirteen years ago. I leave this one unaltered (grammar, choice of words etc.) on purpose to preserve the naivity & charm. Please extend your grace to the little girl who I used to be.🤍

Today, I am going to share with you all my one-year hair growth story with ‘before and after’ hair growth pictures. Hair growth, hair fall, shiny hair- these are some of the most searched words on Google when it comes to hair care. From my experience with beauty blogging, I got to know that clearer skin and longer hair are what people mostly wish for! The latter one is our topic today.

I am eighteen now. This hair growth journey began before a year when was doing my 11th grade. The difference between last year and this year in my hair growth is not that huge, but still, I wanted to share my hair growth story, experience, regimen, and photos with you all as per readers’ request! Stay tuned.

Little scenes from my past few weeks..

Hello everyone!

I am sharing pictures from my camera roll today. 😊

The oil has turned into this beautiful color and feels very light on the skin and scalp.

This athalakkai (This is how it is called back in my parents’ native town) infusion is doing wonders for my scalp, light, cooling; I am letting people try it for seb derm. I’m adding florals next, to finish the essence.

Maybe it’ll take three months before I bottle it, the formulator in me will never rush it.

I am thrilled to launch it on lancemade someday.

3 reasons why I love meal prep

Until last year, I used to be someone who would drive to meet my paw-buddies at the beach and then settle in the corner of a random restaurant for dinner at night.

Though I had been fairly careful with nutrition and hygiene, and I genuinely enjoyed my daytime cooking experiments, I wasn’t very happy about eating out frequently every night. My stomach didn’t love the idea.

Then, I started doing meal-prep.

It is how I stepped up my eating habits effectively, and now it has been more than 6 months since I’ve had a single takeout.
