chandana banerjee: Be a Mama Bear Fashionista!
http://www.chandanabanerjee.com/2014/03/be-mama-bear-fashionista.html
Friday, March 14, 2014. Be a Mama Bear Fashionista! Till sometime ago, my wardrobe was all about comfortable sweats and t-shirts. Yes, there was the rare ‘good’ outfit. But mostly, it was all about clothing that’s loose and light. Clothing that’s uber comfy but very uninspiring. My logic for not adding to my wardrobe:. It’s bound to get covered in baby-puke, so why bother with brand new clothes! And hey, I can go back to my pre-baby wardrobe that has some lovely stuff. But while I shopped and tried out a...

chandana banerjee: December 2014
http://www.chandanabanerjee.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. What I've been up to. Our Christmas day photos - Neel was dressed up as a tiger cub for the party. How was Christmas for you? And how are the winters in your part of the country? So anyway, with the sun on a hiatus around here, I’ve been trying very hard to stay perked up. Whatever that means with long hours cooped up inside and a tantrumy toddler in tow. Here’s what I’ve been up to. I’m trying to figure out the concept of square foot gardening. I’ve finally taken that st...

chandana banerjee: How to make your own lip balm (and where to source the ingredients from)
http://www.chandanabanerjee.com/2015/05/how-to-make-your-own-lip-balm-and-where.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. How to make your own lip balm (and where to source the ingredients from). I’ve been on a quest to de-toxify our home and find natural, eco-friendly alternatives for some of our lifestyle choices. But let me be honest - I’m not a thorough eco-warrior who has banned plastic totally from her life, cloth diapers her child all the time, grows all her food or eats only organic food, has given up make-up or become totally minimalistic. And make our own wrapping paper. Hand sanitizers and ...

http://www.chandanabanerjee.com/2015/05/how-to-make-your-own-body-butter-to.html
Saturday, May 2, 2015. How to make your own body butter to nourish your skin this summer. Summer’s on a gallop. The sun’s turning up its heat and we’re already dreading the next few months. It’s at times like this when I crave a little bit of homemade comfort and nourishing. And what better than making a few body care products at home with the freshest of ingredients, all of which are pure and toxin-free. Summer’s a tricky time – we need to stay moisturized without feeling oily and sticky. 2 Take this mi...

chandana banerjee: What I’ve been up to lately (retiring the 'shoulds' & going back to school)
http://www.chandanabanerjee.com/2015/04/what-ive-been-up-to-lately-retiring.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. What I’ve been up to lately (retiring the 'shoulds' and going back to school). Photo credit: Morgan Sessions/Unsplash. So, I’ve been gone again. Yes, yes, I hear you (the voice in my head). I should. Be more regular as a blogger. I should. Work on reaching out to more people in the virtual world. I should. Plan my posts in advance. I should. Freelance more. I should. That march through our head like a ticker tape. The shoulds. While each of these are as different and diverse as ...

chandana banerjee: January 2015
http://www.chandanabanerjee.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. Sari Style Dares for the Winter. And having said this, I can well imagine what you might be feeling, if the sari is already an occasional wear for you. Something you lug out of the closet for weddings or prayer ceremonies or the occasional party. Something that you kind-of grudgingly wear, muttering about the amount of time it takes to wear this garment and the pleats that seem to have a life of their own. So, here’s a clutch of #saridares. Once you’re done draping your sa...

http://www.chandanabanerjee.com/2015/03/composting-in-your-backyard-quick-diy.html
Friday, March 27, 2015. Composting in your backyard – a quick DIY project. A while back, I decided to take baby steps towards a greener lifestyle. I’ve tried to make simple changes around the home. 8211; create my own body care products, make my own natural cleaning solutions, paint our own wrapping paper. Right now, the big, blue bucket stands in my backyard, turning months of vegetable peels and dried leaves into rich, black compost - a feast for our garden. 2 Now start collecting all your vegetable an...

chandana banerjee: What I've been reading online
http://www.chandanabanerjee.com/2015/05/what-ive-been-reading-online.html
Tuesday, May 5, 2015. What I've been reading online. I just realized that I haven’t shared some of my favorite online reads for quite some time. Not that I haven’t been reading online much – in fact, far from it. But for a very long time, I haven’t stumbled across any new blogs or websites that had me excited. Just yesterday, while scrolling through some posts, I came across this lovely lovely (intentional repetition) blog, which is like a balm for a mother’s soul. Photo credit: samuel zeller. I have bee...
