I’m learning to notice where there’s movement, and let myself move with it.

Some things won’t budge: a situation, a conversation, a mind that’s already made up. I don’t have to keep pushing or turn it into a battle. I can set down what isn’t mine to carry and look for another way through.

The path of least resistance isn’t always doing nothing. Sometimes it’s choosing what feels open, and giving my energy to what can grow.

What are you ready to stop carrying?

I’m going first…..

path of least resistance, letting go of what you can’t control, choosing what flows, emotional wellbeing, healthy boundaries, midlife mindset, releasing what isn’t yours to carry, personal growth

I could have played things differently.

I can see that now.

I didn’t need to say half of what I did.
I didn’t need to point out my own imperfections before anyone else could.
I didn’t need to apologise for being in the room.

For a long time, I thought explaining, justifying and proving myself would help me belong.

It didn’t.

But I don’t wish that girl away, and I won’t make excuses for her either. She was a big part of the woman I have grown from, and in many ways, the woman I have grown into.

Perhaps this is the gift of growing older. The dharma of my life. Time gives us enough distance to recognise where the same pitfalls kept appearing, and honesty gives us the chance to choose differently.

That is what my mirror ethos has always been about. Not looking back to judge the face staring at you, but looking closely enough to recognise yourself.

Self-reflection isn’t punishment. It is how we stop repeating old stories, reconfigure what no longer fits and move forward as who we really are.

Today, I can say without hesitation:

I belong in the room.
I am here.
I have plenty to give.
I don’t need to prove it.
And I am exactly where I should be.

Are there things you might have done differently, but can now see helped bring you to who you are today?

It’s okay to look back and say, with love and honesty, “That’s not me anymore.” 🧡

A new season doesn’t need a new you overnight. Go gently—your body knows what to do, so let it.

Light a candle, change the mood, pull out the cosy layers and softly settle into autumn 🍂

Thank you .lifestyle.magazine for collaborating with me and sharing my changing-seasons post—and the message beyond it. What helps you ease into autumn? x

Autumn is calling 🍂
Find beauty in the things you do and let it be the door to mindfulness and inner calm…. Spending time in nature exposes you to so much beauty and we all look and feel better when we relax and focus on the natural world…. Let the energy of autumn 🍂 whisper its message of change and allow yourself to evolve….

Class act… back to school, beauty school naturally 🧡

The Gatineau Acid Academy taught us why acids don’t have to mean stripping, stinging or “taking one for the team.” Pain does not equal gain… yay 🙌

Gatineau’s new Renewal Ultime combines five acids, intentionally created to support skin over 40 as it resurfaces—helping to improve the look of tone, texture, pores and pigmentation, while remaining approachable for sensitive skin too.

Independent clinical testing across different ages and skin tones showed visible improvements in pores and dark spots at 14 days, and smoothness at 28 days.

And the BIG takeaway - Start slowly, build tolerance and most importantly ( this really is the important bit to remember) listen to your skin. Red often means sore, irritated or your skin saying it’s not happy, so always watch for those signs 🚩

We learnt so much from and , owner of and author of The French Skincare Bible ( a fabulous read for any discerning beauty lover )

As Marine reminded us, skin doesn’t transform overnight. Less rigidity, more consistency. She is one of my favourite women in beauty to chat with, and I have such love for her and the treasure trove she has created at The French Pharmacy.

Être bien dans sa peau—feeling good in your own skin. Isn’t that what skincare should ultimately support?

And a HUGE thank you to the Gatineau and Pr Team you’re all lovely and delightful - See you all soon

Love a more knowledgeable Mala 📿 🧡

49 and 76 Can look like this….

Some glow isn’t applied.

It appears when your body feels calm—and your skin feels it too. 🧡

We are taught to search jars for the answer. But our skin lives alongside our sleep, stress, joy, movement and the way we speak to ourselves.

Growing up in India 🇮🇳 taught me many things: And one was - Stop 🛑 Look and listen and not only before crossing a road, but when my body was quietly asking for my attention.

That wisdom became part of how I work with women today and what creates calm and lowers cortisol.

My mums face at 76 is not due to treatments rather the way she treats herself…… And that’s with unapologetic Self Love - It’s all in the ritual and my Mirror Time Method™️

Movement . Mindset And of course Natural skin rituals, making beauty always the doorway back to yourself.

This isn’t perfect skin. It’s real skin.

Me, without makeup. My mum, Avi, wearing her signature lip pencil with balm on top. The rest is happiness showing. And a shared love of oils especially those from Fushi

But I’m not here to talk products today, I want to bring the power of the mind to how you approach your face and before you apply a single thing. Before you reach for another product, pause at the mirror and ask:

What do I need today?

Then listen.

Because consistency, calm and self-kindness cost nothing—but their value is immeasurable and the relaxation this can bring to the body and the tension it can relieve on the face is HUGE!!!

Save this for your next beauty routine, or share it with a woman who deserves an uninterrupted moment for herself.

And tell me: what does your body need more of today?

Your beauty ritual shouldn’t look like mine. It should feel like you.

I begin with the woman: how you want to feel, what you already use and what fits the life you actually live.

Then I bring my experience, instinct and care to turn your existing routine into something bespoke. A private ritual for confidence, calm and glow.

No performance. No explaining it to anyone else. This is about you.

Beauty is the door. The mirror is the route.

The habit that finally has a name…

My full dermatophagia story is now on the blog 🔗 link in my bio and Stories.

Grateful to for sharing my Minute of Mala each week, helping these little moments of recognition and reassurance reach more women. And thank you, , for opening the conversation and giving my lifelong habit a name - mwah 😘

If you bite, chew or nibble your skin, you’re not alone and if you know someone who may relate to skin biting, dermatophagia, nail biting or another BFRB share the post I’d be so graphic. And one last thing, If you’d like to share your experience—or tell us about your chewing—please do. I’d love to hear from you…

NB:
What is a BFRB?

A body-focused repetitive behaviour (BFRB) is a repeated action directed towards the body, often carried out automatically or in response to feelings such as stress, anxiety, boredom or tension. Examples include biting or chewing the skin, nail biting, skin picking and hair pulling.
