It all began in 2015. I had just become a full-time mum of two, while juggling a demanding job and wearing every hat you can imagine—wife, daughter, cook, cleaner. Life felt like a whirlwind, constantly on the move. There were days I barely had a moment to breathe, let alone pause for myself.

I got used to the chaos, until life forced me to stop. That Christmas, my husband fell critically ill. He underwent major surgery on Christmas Day—an operation that, thankfully, saved his life. The following year, he faced yet another surgery. And as if that weren’t enough, around the same time, my father was struck by heart failure. It was one of the most challenging times of my life—emotionally, mentally, and physically.

In the middle of all that turmoil, something shifted in me. I realised that if I was going to make it through, I had to start taking care of myself—from the inside out.

I began with small steps. I read books that lifted my mindset, I moved my body, and slowly started tending to how I looked and felt. I began reconnecting with myself—something I hadn’t done in a very long time. I couldn’t even remember the last time I really looked in the mirror. My skin was dull and tired, my hair dry and brittle. I had lost touch with my own reflection.

By 2017, life began to steady itself. And with that, I went on a search for good-quality hair and skincare products—something that felt aligned with my needs. But time and again, I found myself disappointed. So many popular brands didn’t work for me or simply weren’t worth the high price tag. I couldn’t find what I was looking for—no one place that offered mulberry silk pillowcases, eye masks, scrunchies, and genuinely good Ayurvedic skincare, all in one.

After trying and trying, I thought… why not create my own?

Drawing on the Ayurvedic wisdom I’d grown up with, I began experimenting in my own kitchen—formulating blends, testing textures, and sourcing the finest silk I could find. I even travelled to India to deepen my understanding, determined to build something rooted in real rituals, not trends.

That’s when The Silk Glow was born—a brand built on the belief that self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. We all deserve to feel radiant, inside and out. And when we feel good in ourselves, it flows into everything we do.

So in 2022, I introduced The Silk Glow to the world. A place where you can find both silk and Ayurvedic products for your hair and skin—created with care, intention, and love. My hope is that everyone who visits us feels part of something truly special.

Because you, too, deserve to glow.
