Dog: Life changer

-
Of course, that is the best start to blogging. 
Dog, Umm...no we should give them a proper name first. 

 Hmm.....What can be a name for a happy, lovely soul in 4 legs and a wagging tail?

 JOY. Yes, this one word explains all things that a 4 leg with a wagging tail can bring to us. 

 Our light, Our way to escape depression, anxiety and stress, our sleepers chewer, the one because of whom a carpenter phone number or some random furniture fixture DIY videos become our daily dose for damages. Hahaha. 

But nothing can replace them. The 14-15 years they made our lives so simple yet joyful. They make space in our hearts as no one could ever replace them.
Dog's lives are too short. Their only fault, Really

 They also say: 
Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.
- Franklin P. Jones(humorists)
And I truly found one when I scratch my first ever pet JOY (dog), whom we adopt. Never realized it until the day I was about to lose her. She was sick and that's a long story back. I never really want to remind myself about that. 
She was so small that I could even hold her in my hands back then and now I can't even hold her in my arms. She is a big girl now. Big enough to make me realize that I can be a better mother every day. She teaches me few very important things that every JOY (dog) owner could sense:
  1.  Patience
  2.  Well-Timed
  3.  Regular towards few things
  4.  Perfectionist 
  5.  Healthy
  6.  Emotionally imperfect. Of course, puppy eyes. 
And many more. Maybe I am still learning. And truly I want to learn forever. 
All JOY (dog) owners must have experienced bites and scratches. So, this one is for you,

She bites me sometimes, she also gives me scratches sometimes. I usually get frustrated when she does so but I never realized maybe the scratches were to get that pain out of me that was pushed harder in the corner of my heart because of some handful of bad humans. So that the space can be filled out with love. And if this is so, then
I am ready for all the ups and downs, all I need is my JOY (dog) with me.

They teach us in every aspect of our life. Dogs do talk but only with the one who can understand them.
They are a life changer.

🎨 Why I Started Artist_her — And What It Taught Me About People

-
Image
I didn’t start artist_her to build a business. I started it to hold space for emotion. Back in 2021, I handcrafted a simple card — no brand, no packaging, no intention of selling it. Just a deeply personal gesture from one heart to another. It wasn’t perfect. But their reaction? That stayed with me. It was in that moment I realized something powerful: People don’t just want to give things. They want to give meaning . They want their emotions to be felt . Their stories to be seen . Their memories to be held in someone else’s hands — literally. ✨ The Birth of artist_her That realization became the seed for artist_her — my handmade gifting studio built on heart, not hype. Today, we create: Story-based scrapbooks and memory albums Custom scratch cards, journals, and light frames Thoughtful, handcrafted pieces that speak louder than words ever could Each product is a collaboration. A shared secret. A little piece of someone’s world — folded into paper, color, a...

Surely, things take time...

-
 I didn't know it would get so worse in a few months. I have tried my 100% to get everything back as it was, but I guess few things are meant to be shattered, and few things are meant to be left as they are. I am sure you did not understand a single bit of what I said in the past few lines, but here is the whole story for you to understand and relate to it better. I am not a professional artist I am just a child with a passion for creating things with pen, paper and colours.  In 2023, I started up a page on Instagram with the name ARTIST_HER which simply means artist in her. (you can check it out here:  Artist_her  ) Soon making art for myself turned into the pressure of making art for others. Lines need to be straight, colour matching and perfection but, arre hold on bhai kuch jyada nhi demand ho gyi? People were not wrong but what I started it for they never know. This started to turn into an art and craft business because I wanted to grow on Instagram, I wanted to...

Why I Switched from Odonil to Soya Wax Scented Bars (and You Might Want To, Too!)

-
Image
 Have you ever used those Odonil fresheners—the ones we usually hang in our bathrooms to keep the space smelling fresh? (Yes, the purple-blue one. See the reference image in your mind. And seriously, start eating almonds—I’m telling you, memory matters!) Of course, you have. That’s why you need to read this—because maybe, just maybe, we’ve been wrong all along. Wait—what do you mean we’re wrong? Okay, let me clear the air (pun intended). I’m not here to bash Odonil. It’s been a go-to option in many households, mine included. But once I started exploring alternatives, I realized there are better options out there—ones that are more eco-friendly, long-lasting, and way more fulfilling. Let me introduce you to scented bars made from 100% soy wax . I discovered them a few months ago, and honestly, I haven't looked back since. I initially bought them on Amazon and Meesho. But the real game-changer? A small business I stumbled upon through YouTube. They handcraft soy wax scented ba...
