The ultimate duo (self-proclaimed!)Boy have I been busy! I won't forgive myself if I can't get at least one blog post out before this month comes to an end. I have some pretty exciting news to share soon related to my business and some super awesome projects (see recent Instagram post). Until then, how about a topic under personal lifestyle and home-decor? For newlyweds or marrieds who are trying to figure out a system to keep your home clean and organized, I hope some of these tricks and tips come in handy.
I think I can safely say that my husband and I have turned into the king and queen of speed-cleaning. Okay, the title is totally self-proclaimed and we are far from perfect! I thought the post might inspire you at the least. I try to keep my home reasonably clean at all times. Although hubs likes to put off cleaning for as long as he can, he does appreciate a clean home and can be a pretty fast cleaner and as a team, we try to make the process effective. It's a daily practice and take lots of tweaking and revisiting, which is why it's important to start from the first year of marriage. When it comes to deadlines, it means my mind, body, and heart work ten times faster (under reasonable pressure). We'd like to believe that we've mastered the art of speed cleaning or touching-up the entire house, even the bathrooms, within 30-35 minutes, right before dropping dead (jk)! So, I wanted to share some house cleaning tips on how-to-clean-house or rather speed-clean-house.

A South-Asian Event InspirationI’ve probably said this a thousand times already: party planning has been encouraged by my parent’s love for entertainment, and their desire to host frequent shindigs. My parents loved any excuse to gather their families for a feast. Since 2007, I’ve been organizing a yearly potluck event for about a hundred people and counting, in celebration of Noboborsho. Noboborsho, aka Pohela Boishak, is Bengali New Year, celebrated by people of all ethnicities and religions. It’s a very festive, colorful, and eventful day, filled with lots of activities, food spreads, games, and much more. While growing up, I hadn’t celebrated this cultural event as much. I occasionally saw a glimpse of it, and read about it. Wanting to pay tribute to my parent’s love for entertainment, I planned and helped them host this festivity (at their home), embracing and maintaining their unique traditions and cultural identity. As I was planning a South-Asian Wedding and Events Inspiration photoshoot, I drew inspiration from Noboborsho and the culture of Bangladesh, to plan and create a culturally-infused and nature-inspired event. |
