    Us Indians have always had a good understanding of body care, take for instance the fact that ubtans and non-toxic hair cleansers have been used in Indian households for generations. But right now, it takes a little more than a singular ubtan or shower scrub session to keep one’s skin glowing. With so many pollutants, toxins and modern-day stressors impeding our ability to achieve healthy skin, we need elevated essentials to master radiant skin, especially for the days preceding your wedding day!

    There's a lot to do, and there’s unavoidable chaos and emotional moments that’ll leave you exhausted, so it’s only natural for you to take extra care of yourself during such a time! Which is why we’ve curated a list of pampering body care essentials for you.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
