MS COFFEE AND CREAM'S INSTAPARTY

Have you recently discovered something new about yourself that you LOVE?? I never thought I was patient or detailed enough to puzzle over pixels allll day, but it turns out it can be quite a fun challenge, even when I feel like I’m just swimming upstream in circles and circles. My dear friend and fellow UX designer Valentina @vcalvache wrote me the most inspiring letter yesterday, about facing challenges and still loving yourself, and I wanted to share her valuable words of wisdom with you: “Let’s be infinite and courageous, for we have nothing to lose. In a world where we are often told to be sad and powerless, let’s shine and go wherever we want, because our moment here on earth is just one, and we are from beyond the limits of the earth. Never think that you can’t do what you have to do, because like it or not, that is where self respect lies.” ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #mscoffeeandcream #inspirational #fashionphotography #photofashion #whitedress #sky #composition #conceptualphotography #visualmags #creatorsmags #fashionphoto #beacuseofvogue #thevisualvoices #yourvisiongallery #beachfashionshot #sfmodel

Are you as ready for this long weekend as me!!!!??? What are your plans?? Just in case you don’t have grand plans, I give you permission to truly just relax and enjoy some quiet time! It’s totally okay to not fill up your calendar! There is something very healing about the joy of missing out ;) ❤️ Things I’m looking froward to this weekend - having Jay’s parents see our new house for the first time! They will be performing a Hindu housewarming ceremony and I’m so excited to have some positive spiritual energy surrounding my loved ones. Ganesh is one of the main deities we will worship (he is the cool elephant 🐘 God) and he helps unblock obstacles in your path to success, and is a patron of the arts and new beginnings (we all need those obstacles unblocked right?). I remember my Dad cracking a fresh coconut 🥥 to symbolize the unblocking of obstacles while I was growing up, so this ritual brings up a lot of nostalgia and good memories for me (and who doesn’t love to eat fresh coconut meat??). We will also boil 🥛 milk to the point where it overflows, to symbolize great wealth and prosperity flowing abundantly in the house. We are also supposed to bring a cow into the house to symbolize blessings from Lord Shiva, but that’s not going to happen! Then we will be off to Tahoe for some fun in nature. What cultural rituals do you enjoy the most and what are your plans this weekend??? 🥥 🥥 🥥 #mscoffeeandcream #indiangirl #desigirl #bangalore #leelapalace #desimodel #hotindiangirls #modelsofindia #bollywoodfashion #southasianblogger #desiqueen #indianoutfit #bayareablogger #pink #fashionpose

YOU ✨CAN✨ REINVENT YOURSELF. ❤️ I want to remind you today: you are not stuck, you can reinvent yourself, and you are more than what you do. ❤️ Regardless of where you are today, if you hear that little whisper that you were made for more, just know that people love you for who you are, for just BEING, not for doing. ❤️ A lot of you DM me about how to start something new. The answer to ‘How to start?’ is, just start. If you want to be an artist make art, if you want to be a dancer, dance, if you want to be a Kpop Star start singing and sheet masking! Find places where you are able to do the things you wish to do. Join an art school, find a dance troupe or a theatre to perform at. Find people who do similar things, learn from them, get mentorship! Ask yourself if you want to make money from your passion or just pursue it as a hobby. Neither is a wrong answer, only you know your circumstances and limitations of what you can and cannot do. (At least at this very moment). Google every doubt that crosses your mind, learn everything you can and then apply it. Learn from your mistakes and be open to unlearning whatever you need to as time passes. Be creative not just in your craft but with how you approach your life, as there are no fixed paths. And remember to enjoy whatever it is you love making ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️ #Mscoffeeandcream #howihue #portraitphotography #photovogue #editorialfashion #80sfashion #fashioneditorial #contentcreator #contentcreators #goldearrings #pinkaesthetic #acolorstory #purplesleeves #jeweltones #boldcolor #popofcolor #model #indiangirl

CELEBRATE where you are today!! It is so easy to chase what the next big thing in our life. It is so hard to slow down and evaluate and celebrate where you are at the moment. I don't know about you, but I used to judge myself very harshly ... and I still do sometimes, but I’ve finally learned some good tools 🛠 to deal! Last week I felt myself spiraling down into some anxiety and negative thinking - criticizing myself for not doing or being enough. Do you ever feel yourself spiraling into negative thoughts or moods? What triggers those for you? ... So this morning I made the conscious effort to meditate for 10 whole minutes (while face masking) and it just felt so cleansing and invigorating! I never though I would be the type of person who could meditate but trust me - even two minutes will help you set yourself up for success and positivity thinking! I’m not perfect at staying present, but I’m learning to enjoy where I am now, and stop thinking about what, who, and where I am not. Do you feel what I feel sometimes? Tell me one thing about yourself that you are celebrating today! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #mscoffeeandcream #editorialfashion #fashionphotographyeditorial #sfmodel #sanfranciscostyle #mysf #sfmoma #sanfranciscolife #girlsinmuseums #colorfulfashion #colorfulstyle #makeyousmile #longlegsdontcare #miniskirt #mixedgirlmonday #mixedgirlmagic #strikeaposeanywhere

I see some new faces around here (👋 hi, welcome!) so I thought this would be a good opportunity to re-introduce myself. ▪️I’m Asha, a joyful soul who can’t decide if she should live in 17th century Versailles or 80s. ▪️I’m a Gemini, a dark chocolate lover, and an enneagram 4 (The Romantic). ▪️I’m a Californian of half Indian and half European decent, and lived in London for college. I just moved into my first house with my husband Jay and we live with our crazy tuxedo kitty named Margot who is a very spoiled and clumsy kitty. Even though I have a house most days I still feel like I’m a kid playing grown up! We are starting to think about having kids and I’m really excited to one day be a hot mama 🥰 I currently spend my days learning everything to do with designing amazing user experiences at a UX immersive bootcamp in San Francisco, and my lunch breaks, nights and weekends creating artful photography and words to inspire YOU ❤️ ▪️On my blog www.mscoffeeandcream.com you’ll find *lots* of advice about taking the road less traveled in life, and how to find happiness and satisfaction if you are a unique soul. I also love talking about relationship advice, and yes, there is lots of fashion too! I strive to support you on your journey to a joyful life with lots of color and fun added! ▪️😬 Ohhhh lalala that’s enough about me! Tell me something about you! What’s your favorite food?? ❤️ #editorialfashion #mscoffeeandcream #moodyports #portrait #lovepluscolor #mixedchick #photovogue #colorfulportrait #sfstyle #sanfrancisco #portraitstyle #womenportrait #photovogue #portraitmodel #selfportrait #selfiemoment #artdirectionbyme

Are you in the mood to jump back into bed today and never leave??? Give me your best emoji story of you are also feeling tired, overwhelmed and seriously just want to be on an glamorous Amalfi coast vacation right about now! 👇🏽 😴 But, we must keep pushing on! So to reinspire you, I thought I would share a bit about my create process. I took this photo on a self timer. In fact, every photo that I take during the workweek is basically a selfie 🤳 and sometimes I use a tripod for me iPhone and Bluetooth remote. I used to be really self conscious about this but I’ve realized that it’s the only way I can maintain my 9 to 5pm as a UX Design student and still find ways to be creative with my photos and videos for you guys! There is no way I could afford a professional photographer snapping all my photos, and frankly that would be boring because I would never grow or learn any new skills or feel independent! And I think we can all agree IG needs a little more different and a little less of the same. So cheers to you owning your creative process no matter how scrappy - you can do anything you set your mind to ❤️❤️❤️ Tell me your favorite and creative ways for taking shots 💛🤳 ❤️#Mscoffeeandcream #SFBlogger #desigirls #desistyle #SFbloggers #indianfashion #modelsofcolor #mixedchick #editorialfashion #indiangirl #sfmodel #sfstyle #lookdujour #fashionproducation #WomanPhotographer

Leave a ❤️👇🏽 if you ever get scared that a committed relationship or long term marriage will bore you! Because it’s Monday and we all need some romantic thoughts to take our minds off work, I have a whole new blog post on www.mscoffeeandcream.com ( link in bio) about how I keep things sexy, flirtatious and attractive in my relationship. For any of you who are worried about Boredom in marriage or are feeling the passion fade, this post is for you! Also I included some juicy sexy time tips, because sex is realllllllyyy important to maintain pair bonding and keep those food hormones flowing! AND REMEMBER – Monogamous sex doesn’t have to be boring. If fact, it should make you feel good about yourself. It should make you feel special and validated! ❤️ Also these photos were taken last year when Jay and I were in Roma, and they remind me that no matter how long you have been together you should always keep dating each other! And not just date each other on vacations! We try to meet each other in San Francisco for mid week dates during the work week and even just 15 to 20 minutes over coffee in a new location really spices things up! Swipe left to to join us on one of your dates! ❤️ I want to hear from you - what are your best practices for keeping the romance alive??? Comment below ❤️👇🏽 #Mscoffeeandcream #cutecouplegoals #couplelife #dateday #fashionablecouple #sfblogger #romance #love #dateideas #selfie #couplefashion #couplestyle #mixedcouple #fashioncouple #interraciallove #swirllove #marriage #interracialdating #sfstyle #asharaval

Stop scrolling and tell me what is your enneagram type??? I was super inspired by Penelope of @commeunfairytale latest post about being an enneagram type 4 and struggling with wanting to be unique and comparing herself to others. I am also a type 4 (with a 3 wing) and am so thankful for my type 8 husband who has the strength to straightforwardly tell me when I am being ridiculous and insecure. He does not tolerate any romantic melancholy or insecurity in me, and I think we all need that person who can snap us back to reality! I love the enneagram because it really helps you understand your own fears and desires, as well as how you interact in relationships and in the world. So go take the test if you don’t know about this and then comment below your type! ❤️ Also I need your input!! I am so inspired to write lots of new content for you guys this weekend and was brainstorming topics last night. A lot of you were really having fun with my period menstrual cycle rants this week, and I would love to write more about that subject. I’m also posting a fab relationship piece tomorrow, so stay tuned! Let me know what you want me to write/vlog/talk about next! ❤️👇🏽 #ootdfashion #sfblogger #sfstyle #fashionproduction #personalstyle #inspirationalwomen #fashionbloglifestyle #highfashion #sfbloggers #fashioneditorial #enneagram #enneagram4 #infp #enfp #lovepluscolor #howihue

HOW HAVE YOU LOVED YOURSELF TODAY???? ❤️👇🏽 So far I have made myself the best Counter Culture Americano ever, I’ve danced around my house naked before sunrise to 80s music, I’ve shaved my legs (big win), and I’ve done a catwalk runway show in my bedroom. What about you?)? ❤️ #sfmoma #sfart #girlsinmuseums #sanfrancisco #gannigirls #lovepluscolor #howihue #abmlifeiscolorful #fashionart #fashionxart #popart #andywarholart #acolorstory #pink #yellow #visualcrush #justbehue #hellocolor
