I had not discovered the joy of bath bombs until just a few years ago. The bath bombs I had tried previously were all from the standard shops like Bath and Body Works or Victoria’s Secret. When I got a few from the Thepinkdiamond.co, it was my first time finding out that there are actually […]
To all the men out there who get a kick out of making indecent jokes about your married life, this one is for you. I know you want to make people laugh. You want to capture the room with your wit. Lighten the mood during gatherings. Make people’s day with your tremendous humour. But for […]
Recently I’ve been noticing that whenever my mom asks me to do things for her – like wash the dishes, go out to get some groceries, or even the tiniest favour like get her a glass of water – she always makes it a point to say ‘thank you’ to me. It baffles me when […]
A woman was gang-raped in front of her children at a motorway in Lahore. She called the police for help when her car broke down and while waiting for them to arrive, this horrid incident happened. The rapists forced her and her two children out of the car at gunpoint, and proceeded to rape her […]

I met my husband on a dating app. There, I said it. This might not sound like a big deal to some, but for the longest time this little detail has been an awkward part of our relationship. Not only were we weirded out by it, but even our families strongly advised us not to […]
Featured Art by @ thedaftdraft https://thedaftdraft.com/ When a man smokes, it’s a bad habit (buri aadat). But when a woman smokes, she’s a bad woman (buri aurat).

Whether it’s birthdays, festive holidays, anniversaries or celebrations, gift-giving happens all throughout the year. Thinking of what to gift someone can be very difficult, especially if you’re on a budget AND especially if you’re someone who over thinks everything (like me). Why clutter-free gifts?
