Pizza Delizia and Burrito Boys have been one of my favourites and by now you would know this since I have mentioned about them in my previous posts as well. With Pizza Delizia, my experience was limited to a home delivery only, and Burrito Boys I had visited physically last year. But now since they have both come together and it has become like a gourmet cafe, my experience of dining out was very different.
A healthy liver is essential to our overall well being. Located in the right-hand side of the upper abdomen, above the stomach is our liver, shaped like a cone, darkish red-brown in colour and weighs about 3 pounds. The liver performs more than 500 vital functions and controls and regulates all chemicals in our body. It produces BILE, which carries waste and breaks down the fat during the process of digestion. It also breaks down glucose as glycogen for storage in the body and also produces some important proteins for blood plasma, regulates blood level of amino acids and clears the blood of any poisonous substances and drugs amongst other functions.
COVID-19 has been hugely responsible to topple our sleeping routine upside down. Especially in the initial days, due to lack of work and sitting at home all day, late to bed and late to rise became the new normal.

For us Indians, its biggest recognition and recall comes from its presence on top of Naan (a kind of Indian flatbread). As a kid, I remember picking those tiny black seeds from Naan and just chewing them for fun but did not know that these small seeds that we considered more as a decorative item on the Naan were a superfood loaded with essential nutrients.
Clear and flawless skin is like a dream, and fortunately only a few are gifted to have a spotless skin naturally. While others have to put in constant effort to achieve so. But you need to ensure a healthy way of achieving a clear skin as hit and trials with skincare products can sometimes cause havoc. Better safe than sorry. From open pores to acne and blemishes, there are different kinds of issues that one might face with their skin.
I think, there would be a hardly a person whose life would not have been inspired by films. At some point or the other, we relate to the situations in films, or their characters and these films sometimes prove to be a lesson for life. Whether we implement those lessons or not is a different story, but it does move us a bit. I am listing out 10 films that have inspired me somewhere or the other.
I switched to using a menstrual cup some 2.5 years ago and it was probably the best decision I ever took. The trend in India had just started back then and I was glad to give it a try and since then there has been no looking back. But I do get surprised that even now, not many women know about it, and if they know, they are very hesitant of using it.
It’s quite natural to feel low on energy and stamina on some of the days, especially given the current scenario when most of us are not stepping out much and still adjusting to the new normal. But keeping up with your stamina becomes even more important on such occasions. The morales are low and generally, everyone is not feeling as positive, there are uncertainties looming around and we are in a constant dilemma to know what the future holds. Usually, people relate the world stamina to just the physical energy, but it’s imperative that your mental stamina is as much energetic and positive as your physical strength.
