10 Things That Actually Worked for Me
No caffeine on an empty stomach ☕️
→ I start with soaked almonds + fruit + water. Keeps cortisol steady and skin calm before the festive rush.
Add protein to every festive meal 🍳
→ Paneer tikka, moong dal, chana chaat — protein keeps sugar stable and helps skin & hair repair.
Walk 10 mins after every celebration meal 🚶♀️
→ It’s my “secret insulin hack” — reduces bloating, sugar spikes, and festive guilt.
Sip a hormone-balancing tea daily 🌿
→ Spearmint or cinnamon water helps acne and hormonal balance — I even take it while getting ready for parties.
One serving of good fats every day 🥑
→ Coconut, ghee, or flaxseeds — they’re my festive glow fuel for skin & hair shine.
Curry leaf chutney or coconut–til ladoo weekly 🍃
→ My go-to traditional hair remedy — stronger roots, less hair fall, and perfect festive shine.
Limit sweets smartly 🍬
→ I enjoy desserts after a protein meal, not alone — no crashes, no new acne next morning.
Double your hydration 💧
→ I drink a glass of water before makeup or festive food. Keeps my skin glowing, not oily.
Sleep & skincare go together 😴
→ Sleeping before 11 PM is my real beauty ritual — my under eyes and hormones thank me.
Festive stress = Breath check 🧘♀️
→ A 5-min pause before bed (slow breathing, journaling) resets my hormones faster than any detox.
