While Einstein and Steve Jobs are the rarest of rare, lets focus on the majority of us for now.
There are numerous studies suggesting that physical clutter leads to mental clutter and women were especially impacted by it. Just mentioning the topic of clutter raised stress levels among them.
So, if your living room looks like a playground on Sunday and your bedroom like public swimming pool minus the water, its time to take control.
Most times clutter is a manifestation of essentially three emotions. 1) I may need it again someday, 2) this reminds me of…. and 3) I live with a person who is just not organized or my kids just not learning to put things back. It all leads to physical and mental drainage and starts to build frustration over time. This becomes more prevalent as we age. Remember all the screaming from your mom? Also, not to forget, cluttered homes and offices are the hub for dust and molds.

To add to this luxurious experience, Veda Homes collection of long lasting natural colors transforms your bed into the centerpiece of your bedroom.
]]>It all started with this one question. Why is there such a huge void when it comes to beautiful bedding in India as compared to international markets? Why do we continue to choose from the range of boring colors and a clutter of prints? While the answer was simple that we had limited choices, the solution wasn’t.
We also knew that this void was an opportunity, though not an easy one to fill. Our design philosophy is to keep it modern, yet minimalistic, smart and elegant. For us, bed is the centerpiece of a bedroom and it has to be dressed well. Or should we say, draped well?
It took us creating and rejecting countless designs, dealing with millimeters, shades of threads, the fall, and endless attempts to get it just right.
While getting the designs right was one aspect, finish that makes our bedding talk to you was another, and that made us travel extensively across the country to find master craftsmen who could meet out quality standards. This travel also inspired many of our designs.
It’s been a long journey, and as we continue to learn and evolve, we just have one assurance for our customers – you will be in love with your bed more than you’ve ever been. Veda Homes bedding offers a complete experience and promises to transform your bedroom into your favorite spot in the house, making it look new each day.
We breathe beautiful bedding, and beautiful bedding breaths us!
]]>Well, it’s because a fit body and a fit mind is made of exercise, what we eat & drink, and how we sleep. We skip either one and we don’t see the results. Let’s try to break this down.
Exercise
Now we keep hearing about several forms of exercises every few months. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), Bodyweight Training, Strength Training, Pilates, Running, CrossFit, Zumba, etc; and many times, we just want to follow what the latest trend is. We say, don’t follow the trend but rather pick up the one YOU enjoy doing, because it’s very easy to start, get bored and give up. Any form of exercise is good. Something that works great is to bring in variety. We know that anything that doesn’t change pattern becomes boring over time, so as an option, try mixing a couple of forms of exercises. For example, if you enjoy cycling, mix it with gym or another form that you enjoy. If you’re a gym person, break the monotony from regular combination of body parts and sets to only focusing on abs and floor exercises. The idea is to bring in variety. It’s like music. You get bored listening to the same song over and over again!
What we eat and drink
Yes, many of you are already aware that what we eat and drink is what makes us. You can spend hours exercising and then eat food high on fat, not to forget all those drinks high on sugar and then keep hoping to lose those extra kilos and get a lean body. For most of us it’s difficult to give up this temptation, so here’s what you can do. 1) Have your dinner by 7pm. Yes, the first week will be difficult but then your body will adapt to it. Try it. Tip: If you get hunger pangs at bedtime, snack over easy to digest options such as almonds and walnuts or a bowl of curd. 2) Watch your dinner carbs by increasing the portion of vegetables on the plate. They’re much easier to digest and will make a huge difference to your body. More importantly, you’ll feel lighter and will sleep better too. 3) Eat slow. Stomach fills sooner than brain. We don’t need as much food as we generally eat.
Tip: Try Dandelion tea. It’s gaining popularity and one of its key properties is that it helps reduce water-based bloating and improves overall digestion. A Korean study suggests that Dandelion has similar effects on body as some weight loss drugs. While the benefits are immense, this is not a source of losing weight, however it can definitely complement your exercise routine. You may also want to consult your doctor prior to bringing this in your lifestyle, especially if you are pregnant.
Sleep
We ignore it more often than we should for those late-night web series, browsing, chatting, reading, etc. Several studies tell us that 7-8 hours of sleep is essential for our body to repair, restore and build up the muscles targeted during exercise. A study conducted by Fitbit in 2017 revealed that Indian sleep the least after Japan.
If you need to see results for all the hard work you put in, then sleep well, or consider it to be near impossible to see any performance. In fact, its bidirectional. Exercising helps you sleep better and sleeping better helps you achieve your physical and mental goals. We see sleep coaching to become an offering at yoga centers soon and a little proof of the impact that sleep has on our fitness is in all the new age wearable devices tracking our sleep quality. So, don’t ignore it and have a cutoff time from all the gadgets and everything that keeps you awake. Tip: Make your bedroom as dark as possible and if you had your mattress for long, consider replacing it, especially with memory foam. Lastly but very important, try natural colors for your bedding with minimalistic designs if you enjoy more than just the solids.
