We all have the ingredients we need to rise - they’ve been inside us all along.

For me, it’s like baking a beautiful cake of self-growth: a pinch of little Mala’s fearless curiosity, a dash of now Mala’s wisdom, and a sprinkle of future Mala’s brave vision. It’s the wisdom I once tucked away to fit into the spaces I lived in, now resurfacing like a gift. And yes, a little bit of the wisdom from my Himalayan guru, who I spent much time with and reminded me that sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is simply allow ourselves to unfold.

Mix in a little 🤏 Rapid Tapping® and a whole lot of inner knowing, and you feel your frequency lift. You realize you don’t need to search for a purpose outside yourself—because living life fully, bravely, and authentically is the purpose.

So here’s to letting go of old beliefs, tuning into our inner wisdom, and embracing every version of ourselves as we rise.

Because at the end of the day, you can make up your mind to make up your face—and that’s where your true glow shines through - Intent and purpose to just be!!!

It’s golden hour here in Goa India 🌅

And I’m just wearing sunscreen, and sporting salty hair.

Barely there makeup has always been my bag, although I love makeup and how it can enhance and give one the feel good factor in an instant…..

So today after spending a week under the Goan 🌞 sun I’m beginning to feel like I’m made of sunlight.

And I hope to immerse myself in this warmth and glow so it’s a part of me and I bring it back home 🏠

And for those 2️⃣ products I’m wearing gutted to me for my trip by

The “Hue Drops” add a subtle bronze tint and warmth — like a soft sun-kissed glow — while still keeping the skin looking natural and not heavy. 
• The “Dewy Flush” gives a gentle burst of sheer pink colour on cheeks, creating a fresh, youthful dewy flush that blends seamlessly. It’s formulated with fruit-powered watermelon extract + hydrating ingredients for fresh, glassy skin. 
• Both are part of Glow Recipe’s fruit-powered, clean-beauty philosophy: gentle, skin-loving formulas that use natural extracts (watermelon, fruit antioxidants, hydrating agents) instead of heavy makeup — so you get glow without mask.

Masks off.
Light on.
And embrace yourself!!

This midlife chapter is about stepping into your whole self — without apology, without editing, without fear.

If you’ve been hiding your light, taming your edges, or dimming your spark just to fit… this is your reminder that it’s time to rise. 🔥

Midlife isn’t a pause — it’s a power move.
It’s the moment you stop asking for permission and start choosing yourself.

We don’t shrink to be accepted anymore.
We expand to feel alive.
We soften for tenderness, not approval.
We sharpen for truth, not defence.

Release what wasn’t and isn’t choosing you.
Clear space for the people, opportunities and energy that always would and always will!!

If this hits… drop a “YES” below and let’s rise together and sew seeds of change and give ourselves permission for what’s possible…..

Love Mala 📿

Here’s to the joy of solo time I never knew I craved and re connection with myself

In my 20s, I brushed off the idea of adventuring alone, especially after losing my father, who was always my travel partner. Life had its turns, and my beautiful circle and life partner filled those spaces. But now? Now I’m leaning fully into that Sagittarian spirit of independence and freedom, honoring the part of me that’s always craved this.

This journey isn’t about going back; it’s about moving forward and reconnecting with those pieces of myself I might have left waiting. And it’s a thank you to everyone who’s cheered me on to do just that.

Here’s to the first of many solo adventures… and to all of us finding that little piece of freedom, no matter when we start.

Midlife is a time for expression and being BOLD!!

A must have for me is an eyeshadow stick and has some real show stopper shades this season…. I’m loving the Wild Violet.

Barely there beauty is definitely my thang, along with glowy skin and lots of naturalness….. Because it’s the way to look rejuvenated ( in my opinion) as we age - moisture and hydration is the name of my beauty game and creams rather than powders - that’s what you get with me!!

Check out the next few posts as I reveal the must haves and start to pack to go to India 🇮🇳 ( only just got my suitcase out 🙊)

I’m so chilled these days and that’s before I reminded myself everyday that I’ve never let myself down so I will be packed and I will be ready and that eyeshadow stick is coming with for sure!!

Do you use eyeshadow sticks and would you only take them away or would you want a powder palette too….?

What if a place you left as a child called you back 25 years later — and you only realized it two years ago?

This Saturday, I’m finally answering that call.

Belief can take decades, but here I am — grateful, a little in awe, and so appreciative that I finally get to do this. After losing my father when I was 21, I’m returning to India for the first time in 25 years — and to Goa, where I was born, for the first time since I was 11. This journey is personal, it’s a full-circle of belief and a whole lot of appreciation. And yes, I’ll be spending precious time with my mom in the place where it all started.

This trip is personal.
It’s healing.
It’s the kind of full-circle moment that changes how you see yourself — and what you choose next.

I’m taking you with me to Mumbai, then Goa, with my beauty itinerary locked in and my favourite products packed for the ride.
New places. New stories. New energy.
And yes — midlife glow incoming.

If you’ve ever put a dream on hold, or waited years to return to a place that shaped you…
Stay with me. This chapter is going to be special.

✨ Hit “favourite” on my page so you don’t miss a post.
✨ Follow along — everything starts this Saturday.
✨ Comment below: When was the last time you did something brave for yourself?

I’m Mala 📿
And this is the start of my Big Dreams era.

When You Believe…

So here’s me telling you my yesterdays journey of self belief — a quiet carpe diem moment where I chose to seize the day and put my own words from my .lifestyle.magazine collab - Minute of Mala to work - because if you don’t live by your own words, how can you inspire others with them?
Practice what you preach and all that!!!

So here come the bravery bit….. I finally picked up something I’d been avoiding for months.

I was very generously gifted — by my husband — the amazing Pocket 3 DJI camera… and I let it sit there while I told myself I was “technophobic.” No more of that clap trap!!!

Yesterday, with a little self-belief and a lot of gratitude, I brought it with me to meet two wonderful women — Liz and Sam — for a chat all about the shifts in midlife, believing in each other, lifting, championing, appreciating whilst applauding your fellow mid-lifers, cos that’s how we shine ✨ brighter!!

And guess what? The minute I got that camera out and started using it, there was nothing but encouragement and excitement, telling me I looked like a total pro and that they’d never have known I’d been hesitant. It just goes to show — when you believe in yourself, you’re already halfway there.

Stay tuned… you’ll get to see the chat very soon, and I hope it inspires you as much as it lifted me.

And once again thanks to Liz and Sam I got over a hurdle and have put the word technophobic to rest 🪦 that’s not me!!!

I want to know what word or belief you have of yourself that you want to change…

I’m working on these two next: Imposter (more self belief needed) and Worthiness….. if you were wondering 🤔

What will you crack open, dust off, or finally use that you’ve been putting off because of quiet self-doubt?

Just pop some words or thoughts 💭 below so we can cheerlead together, and you’ll be amazed at how freeing it is to say what’s holding you back……

Lots of love,
Mala 📿✨
