Nonita Kalra a multi-faceted, highly talented writer and editor who is an important voice in the world of beauty. She has been encouraging me ever since I tentatively began creating home grown beauty products almost 15 years ago.

In a world that constantly asks beauty to be new, how do you remain faithful to what is timeless, and why does that continuity matter today?

"Embracing change is the only way I know to remain faithful to what is timeless. It sounds contradictory, but it is not. Change, to me, is simply the privilege of ageing. Of growing older. Of staying. Every new line on the face is a mark of becoming. An embrace of a life lived well. A testament to having laughed, having wept, having survived. Timelessness is not the absence of years. It is the grace with which we carry them.

When you welcome this shift, beauty becomes less about correction and more about continuity. You become yourself. A self in which the past, the present, and the future come together to make you beautiful. And to shape your idea of the world."
