For most of us the festive season usually means several shopping trips to the mall, cleaning the house of a year’s worth of junk and preparing to ring in the good times. And in that mad rush to get everything done perfectly, we often forget to stop and smell the roses or even lift our feet, chill out and savour the special moments with loved ones. This Diwali make it truly special by bringing one change for someone you love. The warm fuzzy feeling it results in is what the world needs most now. And it starts right here at home.

We all know how moms are...always feeding you with your favourite foods and making sure everyone’s comfortable, just happy to have their flock around them. So it’s no surprise that she’s spending way too much time in the kitchen instead of relaxing with her loved ones. Know what one change can do for her?

So this Diwali, how about you offer to cook for her or take her out to her favourite restaurant or even make it a fun day just hanging out doing things that she loves doing. That one change will mean the world to her. That should make your multi-tasking Goddess smile!
