๐ŸŒฟ MadebyRen — A Brand Born from a Mother's Need


            

"What you create with love, heals more than just the skin."

In 2016, Renuka Kadam wasn’t a certified formulator or a businesswoman. She was a mother searching for gentle, affordable skincare for her 4-year-old. Unable to find anything truly safe, she decided to create her own.

That first handmade soap—melt-and-pour, pure, and fuss-free—wasn’t just a success at home. It became the spark that lit an entire journey.

Diwali 2018 — From Ritual to Reality

“Big journeys often begin with the smallest rituals.”

During Diwali 2018, Renuka crafted a special ubtan soap for her child’s Abhyangasnan ceremony. Drawing from traditional Indian wellness practices, she made a few extra bars to gift friends. The response was instant and deeply encouraging.

Their love and trust gave birth to MadebyRen—a brand that would grow slowly, soulfully, and sustainably.

๐Ÿงผ From One Bar to 40+ Thoughtful Products

“A brand rooted in need, grows in love.”

From that first soap to over 40+ plant-based skin and haircare products, MadebyRen has come a long way—but the essence remains unchanged: small batches, pure ingredients, honest intentions.

Renuka has since deepened her knowledge through Ayurvedic skincare studies, multiple certifications, and hands-on mastery of cold process soaps. But she still holds a special place in her heart for melt & pour—the beginning of it all.

๐Ÿ’†‍♀️ Nourishing Haircare That Works

Among the most loved additions to her product line are the gentle triple bonding shampoo  and anti-hair fall scalp shots.

Crafted with botanical actives, the shampoo is free of sulfates and packed with ingredients that cleanse without stripping the scalp’s natural oils.

Her anti-hair fall shots—a unique, targeted solution—combine ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern formulation, helping reduce hair fall, strengthen roots, and nourish the scalp with every drop.

“My scalp feels balanced for the first time in years.”
“I used to dread wash days—now I look forward to them.”

Whether it’s postpartum hair fall, seasonal shedding, or stress-related concerns, Renuka’s formulations are loved by users who have tried it all and finally found something that simply works.

 ๐ŸŒธ Why MadebyRen Feels Personal

  • Inspired by motherhood – Every product is something she first made for herself or her child
  • Backed by knowledge – Years of research and certified learning
  • Rooted in tradition – Indian rituals meet modern science
  • Always honest – From hand-wrapped packaging to handwritten notes

“Beauty isn’t flawless skin—it’s intentional care.”

 ๐Ÿงก From One to Many

From one mother’s need to a trusted brand that now supports hundreds of families, MadebyRen has grown into a symbol of mindful living and clean beauty.

And while the product line has expanded, the heart behind it hasn’t changed. Every shampoo, oil, or shot is still handcrafted with care, calm, and clarity.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "Your shampoo is the only one that doesn't make my scalp dry!"
๐Ÿ’ฌ "These anti-hair fall shots are a game-changer!"
๐Ÿ’ฌ "There’s so much comfort knowing your products are made by a mom who gets it."

 ๐ŸŒฟ Final Thoughts

MadebyRen isn’t just skincare—it’s soulcare.
It’s for those who want cleaner routines, softer rituals, and a more conscious connection with their body and skin.

In Renuka’s own words:

“From one bar of soap to a full shelf of self-love—this is MadebyRen.”

Why I Switched to Roohts Lakadong Turmeric Powder & Why You Might Want To, Too

 


 “Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Turmeric was always that humble yellow powder in my kitchen—used in dals, sabzis, or when someone caught a cold. But I never questioned which turmeric I was using until my younger son caught a persistent cough last winter. A home remedy I’ve relied on for years—turmeric milk—suddenly didn’t feel effective.

And now, with Mumbai weather being so unpredictablesunny in the morning, pouring by evening—me and my kids have been catching colds way too often. This constant shift is taking a toll on our immunity, and honestly, Haldi milk has become our daily savior.

That’s when I stumbled upon Roohts Lakadong Turmeric Powder while strolling through Instagram. The words “high curcumin,” “sourced from Meghalaya,” and “chemical-free” caught my attention. I ordered it, thinking it couldn’t hurt to try one last natural remedy.

The moment I opened the pack, I knew this was different. The aroma hit me—strong, pure, earthy—and the color wasn’t the usual dull yellow. It was a deep golden amber, almost glowing. That night, I mixed half a teaspoon with warm milk, added a pinch of pepper, and gave it to my son. He didn’t complain about the taste—win! And in just two days, his cough started easing. Since then, Rooht’s Lakadong turmeric has become a permanent resident in my kitchen. I use it in:

  • Golden milk lattes every morning for myself
  • Haldi face packs on weekends for that natural glow
  • Soups, khichdi, and homemade kadhas when anyone feels low on energy
  • And even DIY immunity bombs during flu season!

What makes Roohts truly special for me is not just the product—it's their ethos. Knowing that their turmeric is sustainably harvested, directly supporting farmers in Meghalaya, makes every spoonful feel more meaningful.

I often say, if your Haldi can double up as both a kitchen staple and a skincare essential, you’ve got your hands on the real deal. And that’s exactly what  Roohts delivers.

✨ My Travel Secret: Personalized Tags & Keychains from Cubix3D – A Game Changer!



If you travel as much as I do — whether it's for work, family holidays, or those much-needed getaways — you’ll agree on one thing: organization and personalization matter.

I used to be that person staring helplessly at the airport conveyor belt, trying to figure out which black suitcase was mine. It once got so bad in Goa that I almost walked away with someone else’s bag! ๐Ÿ˜… That was my wake-up call.

That’s when I found Cubix3D — and trust me, it changed my travel game!

๐Ÿงณ The Luggage Tag That Saved My Trip

The first thing I ordered was a custom 3D-printed luggage tag with my name and a little airplane icon. The day it arrived, I couldn’t stop admiring it — it was vibrant, durable, and beautifully crafted. Since then, spotting my bag has become a breeze. More than once, fellow passengers have stopped me just to ask where I got it from!

And it’s not just functional — it’s personal. I chose a color I love, added a hidden contact number on the back, and suddenly my bag felt like me.

๐Ÿ”‘ Keychains That Tell Stories

The obsession didn’t stop there. I ordered personalized keychains for my family too — my kids now have their names in bold 3D on their schoolbags, and my husband uses one with our initials for his car keys.

My favorite? A fidget-style name keychain that I keep on my laptop bag. It’s not just adorable; it’s helped me calm my nerves before meetings more than once! Each keychain feels like a little piece of personality I get to carry around with me.

๐ŸŽ Heartfelt Gifting Moments

One of my most memorable moments was gifting a pair of customized couple tags to friends heading on their honeymoon. They sent me photos from the airport, proudly flaunting their tags on their matching suitcases. Their smiles said it all!

Another time, I gifted custom keychains as party favors at my son's birthday — not only were they a hit, but the parents called later to ask for the brand details.

๐Ÿ’– Why I Recommend Cubix3D

What sets Cubix3D apart?

  • Their quality is top-notch — nothing flimsy or mass-produced
  • Their design options are endless — fonts, colors, icons, you name it
  • Their personal touch — every piece feels crafted with care
  • And honestly? They make you feel seen — your name, your style, your vibe

Their founder, Rinkal Virsodiya, is a woman on a mission. Her team in Morbi, Gujarat, puts genuine love into every product. And it shows.

๐ŸŒ Final Thoughts

We often focus on the big things while planning travel or gifts — tickets, clothes, destinations.

But sometimes, it’s the little custom touches that leave a lasting impression.

If you're looking for something that’s practical, thoughtful, and so you — go for a personalized luggage tag or keychain from Cubix3D. I did. And now, I won’t travel (or gift!) without them.

๐Ÿ”— Trust me, just visit their website or DM them — they’re super helpful and full of creative ideas.

Because life’s too short for plain keyrings and boring bag tags.

๐Ÿงก How Gunvantam Farms Changed the Way I Eat and Live


          

I’ve always believed that what we eat shapes not just our bodies, but our entire energy and quality of life. But it wasn’t until I discovered Gunvantam Farms that I truly experienced what “real food” tastes like.

๐ŸŒพ Pure, Stone-Milled Goodness in Every Bite

The first time I tried their Sona Moti wheat flour, I could feel the difference in my rotis—softer, more flavorful, and incredibly filling. It’s milled on granite stones (not those harsh emery stones), which I later learned preserves the nutrients and taste. For the first time, my family started complimenting the chapatis—and it wasn’t my cooking, it was the flour!

๐Ÿฅ„ Cold-Pressed Oils That Smell Like Memories

Their cold-pressed mustard oil reminded me of my grandmother’s kitchen—the aroma, the taste, the warmth. It’s unrefined, chemical-free, and loaded with health benefits. I’ve stopped using store-bought oils entirely now.

๐ŸŒฑ You Can Feel the Intention in Every Product

Every grain, every spice, every jar of pickle from Gunvantam feels like it was made with care. There’s a rare kind of honesty in their process—from how they farm in Lali, Haryana, to how they eliminate middlemen and deliver directly to customers.

Their commitment to sustainability, genetic diversity, and chemical-free practices makes me feel good not just as a consumer, but as a responsible human being. I’m now making conscious choices, not just healthy ones.

๐ŸŒฟ More Than a Farm—It’s a Lifestyle Shift

It’s not just about the products. It’s about the stories, the values, the simplicity they stand for. I follow them on Instagram @gunvantam_farms for regular inspiration—and I’ve even started educating my kids about where their food comes from.

๐Ÿ’š My Pantry Favorites:

  • Sona Moti Wheat Flour – unmatched taste and softness
  • Black Wheat Flour – a nutrition powerhouse
  • Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil – the heart of my everyday cooking
  • Desi Pickles & Spices – bursts of nostalgia and flavor

๐Ÿ“Œ Real Food, Real Impact

Since switching to Gunvantam, I feel lighter, more energetic, and above all—connected to my roots. My kitchen now reflects not just health, but heritage. ๐Ÿ’ซ

If you’re thinking of making the switch to cleaner, purer food—I cannot recommend Gunvantam Farms enough. It's food that feeds the body and the soul.
