  • A Little Update: Good News, New Content & Taking Care of Myself

    Today feels like one of those days where I have a little bit of everything to share — some exciting news, a little sneak peek at what’s coming, and a personal update about my health.

    First things first — the call I had been waiting for has finally come! 🎉 The brand I was waiting to hear from has reached out, and I’ve finally received the product. I’m genuinely so happy and excited about this one because it’s always a great feeling when something you’ve been waiting for finally happens.

    And yes, there’s more coming! ❤️

    I’ll be uploading the video on Instagram in three days, so make sure you keep an eye out for it. I’m really looking forward to sharing it with you all, and I hope you’ll enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

    Now, moving on to a slightly less exciting update.

    Recently, I injured my foot and found out that I have a heel spur. I’m currently on medication, and honestly, I feel like the medication has been making me extremely sleepy throughout the day. I’ve been feeling drowsy more than usual, so I’m hoping to get some clarity about it soon.

    I have an appointment today, where I’ll discuss whether the medication could be causing this sleepiness and what the next steps should be.

    I’ll definitely keep you posted on how it goes.

    So, that’s my little update for today — good news, new content coming soon, and a reminder that sometimes we also need to slow down and take care of ourselves. ❤️

    Stay tuned, and I’ll see you very soon with the new video!

    Until then, take care of yourself and stay happy. ✨

  • A Little Update, A New Vibe & Feeling Grateful

    It’s been 10 days since I posted anything here, and I know… I’m sorry! Life got a little busy, and I was occupied with other duties, but I’m finally back with a new vibe — and this one is joyful, grateful, and hopeful. 💛

    For the past few days, I’ve actually been feeling a little better about my job, and honestly, that feels refreshing. Sometimes, even a small change in how you feel about your everyday life can make a big difference.

    And there’s another reason I’ve been feeling especially blessed lately — I’ve started getting contacted by brands for shoots! ✨

    It’s such a lovely feeling when opportunities come your way, especially when you’ve been putting yourself out there and patiently waiting for something to happen. I’m genuinely grateful for every opportunity, every message, and everyone who believes in my work.

    But there is one thing I still don’t understand… 😂

    Why do brands disappear after sending an update?

    Okay, seriously, does anyone else experience this?

    I’ll receive a message from a brand, we’ll discuss things, and then I’ll send an update or follow-up… and suddenly, silence! 😅

    And then my brain immediately starts working:

    “Is everything okay?”
    “Did I say something wrong?”
    “Are they still interested?”
    “Why haven’t they replied?”

    I know I probably shouldn’t overthink it, but I can’t help it sometimes. Waiting for a reply can make you nervous, especially when you’re genuinely excited about an opportunity.

    Maybe they’re busy. Maybe they’re discussing things internally. Maybe they just haven’t had the time to reply yet.

    But tell me — am I the only one who overthinks these things? 😂

    Anyway, I’m trying to remind myself to be patient and trust that whatever is meant for me will find its way to me. For now, I’m choosing to focus on the good things happening around me and enjoy this new, happier energy.

    Stay Connected With Me ❤️

    And if you’ve been wondering where I’ve been or want to keep up with my everyday updates, don’t forget to follow me on Instagram and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

    I know some of you might be waiting for new things to read here, and I promise I’m not disappearing! 😄 But until the next blog post, you can always check in on me there too.

    I’ll be sharing my daily updates, little moments, behind-the-scenes content, and everything else that happens along the way.

    And one more thing…

    There’s a Recipe Waiting for You! 🍴

    I’m also uploading a new recipe, so don’t forget to check that out!

    I hope you enjoy it, and if you try making it yourself, let me know how it turned out. I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

    Thank you for still being here, for reading my little updates, and for supporting me even during those quiet 10 days.

    Here’s to a new vibe, new opportunities, and lots of things to be grateful for. ✨

    See you in the next post! ❤️

  • A Little Update From Me — I’m Not Giving Up ❤️

    Last time I wrote here, I was honestly very frustrated.

    I think sometimes we all reach a point where we start questioning ourselves, our decisions, and whether all the effort we’re putting in is actually going somewhere.

    Now that my periods are over and I have a clearer head, I feel like I can finally look at things differently.

    And I’ve made a decision.

    I really want to build my YouTube income to a point where it becomes as much as I’m earning from my job. It might take time, and I know it won’t happen overnight, but I want to genuinely give it my best shot.

    So from now on, I’ve decided to be more consistent:

    ✨ Daily YouTube Shorts
    ✨ One YouTube video every week – A little weekly vlog where I share bits and pieces of my life

    Nothing too perfect or scripted. Just my real life, my food, my little moments, my work, my family, and everything in between.

    And honestly, I would really love your support on this journey. ❤️

    I’ve already seen so much love from you guys, and I can’t tell you how much it means to me. Every view, comment, like, share and message reminds me that someone is actually watching and cheering me on.

    Thank you. Truly. 🥹❤️

    If you’d like to be a part of this journey, you can find me on YouTube by searching StoriesByDivya. And you can follow me on Instagram too, where I share my daily stories and little updates.

    But I’ve realised something — we don’t always need to know exactly when things will work out. Sometimes we just need to keep showing up.

    So if you’re also going through a phase where things aren’t working out the way you expected, don’t give up just yet.

    Do your best.
    Stay patient.
    Keep going.
    And most importantly, be happy and live fully. ❤️

    Everything will work out eventually.

    One day at a time. 🌸

    And if you’re reading this, leave me a comment and tell me what you’re currently working towards. I’d genuinely love to know. ❤️

    Love you all.

  • Maybe I Don’t Need to Decide Everything Right Now

    Lately, I’ve been feeling like I want to leave my job and do content creation full-time.

    I’ve had this thought for years, actually. Ever since I started working, I always told myself that I would work until around 30 and then do something of my own.

    Now that I’m getting closer to 30, that thought has started feeling much more real.

    I miss spending time with my daughter. I want to cook more, learn new things, create content, take care of myself and just have a little more time for me.

    And sometimes, when I feel overwhelmed, my first thought is, “Maybe I should just quit.”

    But I’ve realised something recently.

    Maybe I don’t have to decide right now.

    I can want something different without immediately leaving everything I have.

    I can stay where I am, keep working, keep creating, keep learning and slowly build the life I want.

    Maybe I need to give myself some time before making a big decision.

    Because sometimes we want an answer immediately just because we’re tired of feeling confused.

    But maybe the answer becomes clearer when we stop forcing ourselves to find it.

    So for now, I’m choosing to be patient with myself.

    I’ll keep going.

    I’ll keep creating.

    I’ll keep figuring things out.

    And when the right time comes, maybe I’ll know exactly what I want to do.

    And now I’m curious…

    Have you ever felt like you wanted to leave everything behind and start something completely different?

    Did you actually take the leap, or did you stay where you were for a while and let things figure themselves out?

    I’d genuinely love to hear your story. Maybe your experience is exactly what someone else needs to read today. ❤️

    Tell me in the comments — what did you do?

  • A Little Life Update From Me ❤️

    Today has been one of those rainy, lazy days. 🌧️

    First of all, thank you so much for all the love you’ve been showing me here. It genuinely makes me so happy to see more people reading my thoughts and connecting with me.

    Recently, I started working at a new company. The work is good, and I enjoy learning, but it has been quite overwhelming. Somewhere deep down, I know I can do it, yet I also feel that it’s not where my heart truly belongs.

    What I truly love is writing, cooking, and creating content. Those are the things that make me feel alive. ❤️

    I’m making a promise to myself—and to God—that by the end of this year, I’ll give my dreams my absolute best. I’m finally going to start vlogging on my YouTube channel, StoriesByDivya, and I’m really excited for this new journey.

    And yes… I’m back with recipes! 🍽️ You’ll start seeing new recipes here from tomorrow, so don’t forget to check them out.

    Until then, keep going. I know life isn’t easy, and everyone is fighting their own battles. If you’re having a tough day, you can always share it with me. Sometimes, just talking about it makes the burden a little lighter.

    Take care, stay safe in the rain, and I’ll see you tomorrow. 💛

  • Have You Ever Felt Like You’re Busy… But Still Not Doing That One Thing?

    The last few days have been a whirlwind!

    I’ve been out exploring some amazing new places, trying different food, and creating content for Instagram. If you’ve been following along there, you’ve probably seen a lot more restaurant adventures than home-cooked recipes lately.

    And that got me thinking…

    My pantry is literally stocked with ingredients. Every time I walk into the kitchen, I get excited thinking, “I’m going to create something amazing today.” But then work calls, life gets busy, and suddenly it’s bedtime.

    Tell me I’m not the only one!

    Have you ever had everything you needed to start something, but somehow just couldn’t get yourself to do it? Not because you don’t want to… but because life simply gets in the way?

    Lately, work has been keeping me on my toes, and I’ve also started going to the gym! It’s a new chapter for me, and honestly, balancing work, content creation, fitness, and everyday life is turning into an adventure of its own.

    But here’s the good news…

    I’m not stopping.

    In fact, I’m planning to post twice a day over the coming weeks. More recipes, more restaurant discoveries, more behind-the-scenes moments, and probably a few kitchen experiments that may or may not go as planned. 😂

    Sometimes all we need isn’t motivation—we just need to begin again.

    So, I’m beginning again.

    Now I have a question for you.

    When life gets hectic, what helps you get back on track? Do you make a plan? Take a break? Just wing it? I’d genuinely love to know because I think we’re all figuring it out together.

    Drop your thoughts in the comments. Your advice, your stories, or even a simple “same here” would honestly make my day.

    Here’s to new recipes, new places, healthier habits, and showing up—even when life gets a little chaotic.

    See you in the next blog! 💛
