    Hi I'm Ritika, Writing always meant a way to express myself until one day someone else read it and felt something too. It was then that I realised that my words could reach out and connect with others too. As I travelled with my father who's an army personnel, I met new people and saw new cultures but I observed that a lot of things that one experiences are the same, and that is how it connects us despite our differences. I had the urge to address these moments, to write about it, to bring in fresh perspectives and to show people their story but through a different lens, through a lens that not only helps them reflect but also brings them closer, that encourages the very idea of love and serves the humanity I was born into. I may not change the world with a sword, but maybe, just maybe, I can shift it with my ink

    Negative energy travels quicker than coffee high. A whining sniveler or a mood destroyer, it is essential to handle them without losing your cool. Brawling or getting wasted on their energy is not the answer; it's about putting boundaries, empathy, and intelligent detachment. A healthy attitude safeguards not just peace, but also productivity.

    5 Ways to Clean the Bathroom with a Homemade Lemon Scrub

    Bathrooms become dirty in a hurry. Soap scum, hard water deposits, and mildew, once present, they don't just vanish. Chemical cleansers will break them up, but they reek and coat the air in room chemicals. A lemon scrub isn't like that. It is simple, cost-effective, and functions nicely, and can be applied to tiles, drains, mirrors, and faucets without creating a chemical scent in the room.

    Sensitive Skin Care Begins in the Laundry: Can Detergent Trigger Skin Breakouts?

    By Ritika

    Skin problems are commonly linked with either skincare products or body care products, but what goes unnoticed is the laundry. Yes, that's right; the clothes you wear and the bed sheets or blankets you sleep in come into contact with your skin and can be the reason for many issues. So, it isn't always your skincare or lotions that are to be blamed; sometimes that detergent you bought on sale or didn't pay much attention to its ingredients could be the real cause too, especially for those with sensitive skin.

    Lavender oil has been used for centuries as a sleep aid, with some people saying that only a few drops on the pillow help them catch more restful sleep. But science is still unclear.

    Why Elevator Small Talk Feels More Awkward Than First Dates

    Taking an elevator to the tenth floor with five other people, and all you do is stare at each other, unaware of what the right thing to say is or if it's even fine to speak or not. Elevator rides are more awkward than first dates. At least you know you can begin the date by complimenting the other person, but can you do that in an elevator, too? The shared silence in the elevator turns into a different kind of pressure. Here's why it happens.
