World Environment Day is just a week away! Mother nature is not not exclusive to any gender, caste, species or kingdom. As our mother earth has taken care of us since times immemorial, we also need to fulfil the responsibility of taking care of her. So on this World Environment Day let us take an oath that we each one of us would do our part in taking care of our mother nature.



Why does the title say only girls? I guess taking care of the environment is a joint effort by all the genders and members of the earth. Well because I am going to talk about something that can be solved only by girls/females. Because we girls create a lot of non biodegradable waste in terms of disposable pads and tampons. It is estimated that a female creates 300 pounds or 136 kgs of female related waste in a lifetime. Now you can calculate how many gazellions of kilos of waste all the females of this world are creating each day! This has to stop or come down somehow. The answer can be cloth pads, biodegradable pads and menstrual cups. And that's why I am here to motivate you and eventually guide you to switch to menstrual cups. I have the one from Sirona, a multiple award winning Indian brand which offers a wide range of premium sanitary essentials for complete feminine hygiene.

What is a menstrual cup?
It's a small conical structure shaped like a cup. It can be safely inserted inside the vagina for 6 to 8 hours to collect the menstrual blood. And then it can be taken out, cleaned and inserted back again. It's a safe menstrual cup and liberates you to do all activities including swimming and yoga.  The Sirona Menstrual Cup is very comfortable and you are free to swim, do yoga and all other outdoor activities. You can lead a smell free, rash free period.

What is Sirona Menstrual cup made of?
Sirona Menstrual Cup is a quality product from Sirona. It is made of medical-grade silicone, the Sirona Menstrual Cup is soft, easy, 100% safe to use and does not cause skin irritation. It is FDA approved and gives you a dry, odourless period.
Now here are a few important FAQs.

Does the same size fit everyone?
The large menstrual cup can hold up to 30ml of fluid and is recommended for normal-to-heavy flow to give you leak-proof protection for up to 12 hours during periods. If you have lighter periods, you can use the Sirona Menstrual Cup in small which can hold 23 ml of blood. It comes with a cloth pouch in which you store safely. 

So there are 3 sizes: Small, Medium and Large which you can choose according to your age, birthing history and nature of periods.

Can a virgin use a menstrual cup?
Well a menstrual cup can be used right from the time of menarche. Since the vaginal walls are tighter in younger girls, the process of insertion may slightly be uncomfortable. It would require repeated practice though to become accustomed. A menstrual cup can rupture the hymen but so can rigorous sports activities. A lot of my young patients who are sexually inactive; are very comfortable with menstrual cups.
Do you need to wear pads along with the cup?
The best part about cups is that you don't need to worry about leakage. Once you master the art of insertion, there is no looking back. Till that time, you can use panty liners to be on the safer side.

Advantages to the environment: The Sirona cup is one of the best Menstrual cups that is available in the Indian market and will last you for around 10 years (if taken care of properly) That means no female waste contribution to mother earth!

Price: 399 INR . It turns out to be very economical in the long run. Click here.

Available at Amazon and at all major E commerce sites.

Pro Tip: Try practising the art of insertion and removal before your actual period. That way you won't be flabbergasted once your periods start. It may take a few cycles to fully master it.
So girls this World Environment Day, we all should strive towards a cleaner environment. Of course planting trees plays a mammoth role but let's try to reduce pad related wastes as much as we can. Hope this Sirona Menstrual cup review by me has motivated you to some extent to make the switch.

Have you tried menstrual cups? How long have you been a convert?

The year 2020 went away in a whim. What started as an unfortunate dream, gradually established itself as a permanent nightmare. When I celebrated a very sad birthday last year, I was confident that it was my first and last quarantine birthday. Fast forward one year and we are in deeper waters. I know, it sucks. Halted celebrations are just a tiny peck in the plethora of troubles; the fear of going out is bad, the anxiety of catching the infection is worse and seeing loved ones suffer or God forbid pass away is the WORST.

What I have learned is that we have to take each day as it comes and be grateful for every.single.thing. We should just celebrate being alive and healthy. Hence birthdays and important dates should not take a back seat; they should be the driving factor in our otherwise mundane, stressful life.

Our younger daughter's first birthday was celebrated in a way that wasn't what I had wanted it to be. I know first birthdays are overrated but still I wished it was grand. It was in January 2020 and I had been planning a big bash on her 2 nd birthday (ie January 2021) since then. However destiny had something else in mind and we are still in this Corona lockdown.

However this year I refused to admit defeat. Since pictures are a big part of my life, I decided to make the party photo friendly.  So even we couldn't go out, I made sure the memories are pretty enough! Given the party planner I am, I put up a very intimate gathering with her parents and her two sets of grandparents and here I am doing a photo dump and some tips which you might find useful.

1. Choose a venue (inside your home)

Designate a place where you can decorate and eat and click. I chose one wall of  the living room. Because it's the most open area of our home and it gets the best natural light. I chose an ombre screen.

2. Choose a theme: As you might have guessed, it was a Mermaid party.  I tried to emulate an underwater ambiance.  A pretty mermaid balloon, Mermaid birthday banner, two shells, lots of confetti balloons and an Ariel cake. 

3.. Choose a color theme.  I chose white and grey and blue.  Dress up and decorate accordingly. 

4. Decide on a menu which you love but not consume regularly.  I cooked up a storm and it turned out delicious (according to everybody). 

5. Last but not the least, do not forget gifts and return gifts! Grandparents don't expect anything but when you give them something (as trivial as a box of chocolates and chips), it brings a smile on their face. Of course our elder daughter was more excited for this party than her little sister. We had gifts for both of them and party favours for the older members. It was basically killing multiple birds with the same stone: little one's birthday party celebration+ family get together+a party for our elder one+my mommy duties fulfilled.

I was satisfied because I have something to show my daughters for 2021 when they grow up. It was a bitter sweet feeling. Sad because it could not be grand, grateful because we have our family.  We have roof above our heads, food on our plate and are healthy.  Thankful for all the things in life.  Hoping for a better future for this world. The pandemic lockdown has been an integral part of my little one's development.  She has learned to walk and talk in 2020 . I still can't believe that I am a mom of two and this tiny insect has been in my life for 2 years! 

How have you been celebrating in this lockdown?

What would be the first thing/activity you would do after the Corona quarantine gets over? I just want to immerse myself in endless glasses of Pina colada, lazying under a beach umbrella in a palm print swimsuit and all the cute outfits. Well guess I am so over this lockdown situation. I am praying to God to save the world. In midst of the overburden of household chores, kids, elderly people in my family and of course work (blogging duh) planning for my next vacations has become my new stress buster. They are of course summer destinations so I have a long list of items to be stocked before I leave! I was looking for womens clothes online and this is what I found!
Prestarrs has always been my go to websites for vacation shopping or in fact all sorts of shopping. I have bought tonnes of things in the past and would continue doing so as they have so many cute items! Not only they are well priced but they are offering great deals!

So for my next getaway, here is what all I need:



What's a vacation without dresses? Is there any girl who does not like vacation dresses? Well no one that I know of! Stripes are a universal favourite; especially vertical ones as well as  bodycon dresses and high low ones. We always hear that one should dress according to the body type and not according to trends. Having said that, both can be combined too! So embrace things that are classic yet always trendy like stripes. Here are my few favourite dresses.

Cute Dresses: This kind hugs your body at just the right places and slims your pelvis and elongates your lower half. 
 They are so pretty! I love polka dots. You can find a lot of cute dresses for women on Prestarrs.
Dressy Jumpsuits And Rompers: Nothing screams summer more than a pretty romper. Bright colour, punchy print. Floral prints are not ground breaking but when you have such happy sunflowers all over, who can resist this gorgeous number? This all white jumpsuit is so elegant and dressy. You can wear it to a wedding to...right?
Cute Matching sets: Who goes to the beach or even on a vacation without cute matching sets? Not me at least! Its a sin!

Tops : I like to keep a variety of tops with me on a vacay or even in my wardrobe so that I can switch my look from time to time without spending much! How cute is this shimmery eye top? You can dress it up or down, depending on the occasion or your mood!
Sun Hat: Do you want to squint at the glare of the sun falling on your face? No! A wide brim sun hat not only protects you but ups your style quotient exponentially.

Beach Tote: You need so much to carry when at a beach: water, sunscreen, books, some snacks, towel, etc etc. For that you need a big bag. Straw bags are really hot right now. And with those colourful pompoms hanging, you need it ASAP!
Sunnies: Its important that you protect your eyes from the harmful Ultraviolet rays. Grab this elegant cat eyed sunglasses for dual purpose.



Is there anything I missed in my vacation wishlist? Let me know! Head over to Prestarrs complete your summer shopping!
