It intrigued us. And as his story slowly unfolded, it moved us deeply. That’s exactly how TheGlitz discovered Mousom Bharadwaj.

Christmas Tree lighting ceremonies across Bangalore this December proved that the city's hospitality scene doesn't merely celebrate; it performs. We witnessed Bengaluru's tallest 21-foot tree at Manyata, a 12-foot Yule Log Cake at Hebbal, a Tree of Peace adorned with wishes from Bollywood royalty, and artisan-crafted ornaments carrying 300 years of legacy. Seven destinations, seven unforgettable evenings of mulled wines, carol singers, and Santa arrivals that left us utterly enchanted. Tree lighting is only act two of our Christmas trilogy. The feasting season awaits. Stay tuned!

It’s 2025, and green beauty is no longer the final frontier, it’s going blue. From glossy reef-safe sunscreens to luxury cleansers packaged in seaweed-based pods, the Blue Beauty movement is redefining what it means to be truly sustainable in skincare. It's not just about what goes on your skin... it's about what goes down the drain and out to sea. As noted by Sumita Chakraborty, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Blue Beauty is fast becoming “the gold standard of conscious beauty,” where effectiveness meets environmental empathy.

Whether you're a gloss girl, a matte maven, or a satin siren, TheGlitz says Lipstick Day is your cue to swipe right on colour, confidence, and a little extra sass.

Shiro and Candices Gourmet Sandwiches landed on my plate the same weekend, and I'm still thinking about both. At Candice's, a Banh Mi with tofu tasted better than it had at any of my previous jaunts, while Thai salad proved healthy food doesn't have to be boring. Over at Shiro, sushi arrived looking like art and tasting like the decade of experience behind it. One place let me show up in whatever I was wearing. The other deserved a dress code written in its towering Buddha and polished floors. Both knew exactly what they were doing.

There’s a saying that travel opens the mind and fills the heart... and nowhere did I feel this more than on my journey through Belgium, thanks to Belgium Tourism. For an Indian traveller like me, Belgium was both familiar and foreign, a place where centuries-old history sits beside modern culture, where art meets everyday life, and where every meal feels like a celebration. My route covered Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, and Brussels... each city unique, yet stitched together by that quintessential Belgian charm.
