But my real Santa’s little helper is my Amazon Echo Dot, that lets me function even when I have my hands full. My Echo Dot works seamlessly with smart lights, smart plugs, smart appliances and so much more. Right from playing the night time lullaby for Nirvaan (“Alexa, play the cuppycake song”), to helping me do things when I am feeding my newborn and my hands are tied (“Alexa, play Narcos on Netflix”) to reminding me when I have certain startup tasks I need to complete (“Alexa, remind me to call candidate 1 at 2 pm”) – So when something urgent comes up- like the first photo of Priyanka and Nick Jonas’s wedding which NEEDS to go on Instagram, and I am stuck managing diapers and feeds, I just say – “Alexa, call Akanksha” who answers me through her Echo Device and carries on the work.

It’s one thing that ensures I wake up with squeaky clean skin (well, that and healthy eating but let’s face it the former is easier to do :p). I mean a facial cleansing brush that exfoliates, removes dead skin cells and also has anti ageing properties? So I apply the serum to my face and to ensure my serum has penetrated into my skin, I use LUNA 2 to gently massage the serum into my skin for plump, soft skin. While the anti ageing claims can only be verified over extended usage, I can definitely say within a few days of using this that I definitely saw my skin look more awake and radiant the next morning.

* Boppy Pillow: This is a feeding pillow my sister in law got from abroad- not only is it useful for feeding but also serves as a nice little pillow for propping up the little one. This is a car seat and stroller travel system (A travel system is one where the car seat can be picked up and attached into the stroller itself). * Baby Jalebi Bed in a Bag: I got this just cos I thought for travelling or if the baby is outside of the cot we would put him on this * Baby Gym: Super useful as a toy that can be used right from 3-4 weeks onwards uptil a good 6 months.

In today’s day & age everyone is only searching to look “perfect” but imperfections make you real & truly beautiful so embrace them. * I like to stick to more natural & simpler products for the day so that my skin isn’t subjected to anything harsh. * I then use the Magic night cream by Charlotte Tilbury followed by the Estee lauder advanced night repair eye serum around the eyes. In terms of anti ageing products, I’m in love with the new range of Dior Capture Youth Serums which has targeted ones for all signs of anti ageing.”
