Hi, I'm

Kamana

Hi, I’m Kamana Bhaskaran—a content creator, full-time corporate professional in health tech, and mom of two (ages 6 and 8) based in Sonoma, just north of San Francisco.

With a background in finance, business strategy, and communications, I earned my B.S. in Finance & International Business with a citation in Entrepreneurship from the University of Maryland, and my M.S. in Strategic Communications from Columbia University. Over my career, I’ve led high-impact projects at Fortune 100 companies including PwC and Meta, thriving in fast-paced environments and developing expertise in business growth, digital strategy, and health technology innovation.

I also spent three years living in Singapore and have visited 35+ countries, experiences that deeply shaped my global perspective and continue to inspire the creativity I bring to both my corporate and content creator roles.

My Creative Journey

Outside of my health tech career, I’ve built an amazing digital community centered around:

  • Budget-friendly home finds that actually work

  • DIY projects home hacks inspired by my South Asian roots

  • Meal prep systems and routines designed for busy working moms

  • Festive celebrations and cultural traditions made simple and joyful

My work has been featured in Oprah Daily, Good Morning America, Vogue India, and even The White House. I’ve also partnered with leading brands like Amazon, The Home Depot, Cascade, Toyota, and Lowe’s—sharing practical, trusted recommendations with families everywhere.

Fun fact: I’ve appeared in national TV commercials with Toyota USA and Lowe’s!

On this site, you’ll discover:

  • Practical lifestyle tips that make daily routines smoother

  • Thoughtful product recommendations that save time and money

  • Creative DIYs and home organization hacks anyone can do

  • Meal prep strategies designed for working parents

  • Budget tools and templates that simplify family finances

Be sure to check out my Monthly Budget Template, a reader favorite for anyone looking to get organized and stay on track financially.

I’m so grateful you’re here. This community is about sharing what actually works, building connections, and creating a space where busy families, working moms, and home enthusiasts can find inspiration without feeling overwhelmed.

Thanks for being part of this journey—I couldn’t do it without you!

Three big decisions I’m making over the next 30 days:

1. Career
I’m figuring out what’s next. I’m a working mom of two (6 & 8), my husband travels a lot, and I’m trying to build a career that fits this season of our lives. I definitely don’t have it all figured out, but I’m going to share the messy middle.

2. Parenting
One question is always in the back of my mind: Am I doing too much… or not enough? I’m sharing how we’re making decisions about sports, activities, and academic competitions because we want to raise kind, capable, independent kids, not kids with the busiest schedules.

3. What we share here
We love sharing our practical, affordable, DIY, budget-friendly Desi hacks. But now I’m figuring out what’s next for this page. Right now, I’m thinking - How to use AI to create simple systems, checklists, and shortcuts that solve everyday mom problems at work, with kids, and at home thar make life a little easier. Would love to know What YOU are most interested in?!

If you’re also in a season of figuring things out, I’d love for you to follow along. I’d also love to know …. what are you figuring out right now?

Come with me behind the scenes, we  teamed up with @authenticroyalfoods , the # 1 brand of basmati rice in the U.S., to see how they brought our community together through cricket and authentic food traditions.

The Royal Booth was such a fun experience, they had games, personalized bag charms, a photobooth, giveaways and more!

My favorite part was experiencing it all with my family. The kids loved collecting their giveaways, and it was so special getting to meet so many of you and seeing our community come together.

We loved seeing the iconic Royal Basmati Rice in its signature jute bag, and with the new look of Royal Chef’s Secret Extra Long Basmati Rice with the same great taste we know and love.

Be sure to catch the rest of the @sfounicorns and MLC matches this season, and get your Royal giveaways! #ManyFlavorsOfYou

Here’s what’s changed after 28 days of letting ChatGPT help fix my posture:

* 100 jumps every morning → my posture is improving, and it helped reduce the bloating in my lower belly, which surprised me.
* Tabletop arm swipes (palms up) → opening up my chest, stretching the front of my shoulders, and helping me stand taller.
* Door hangs → loosening my upper back, decompressing my spine, and making good posture feel more natural..

The hardest part was actually starting. Now I do these 3 things every day!

Would you try 100 jumps with me today?

✨ Full 100-jumps a Day routine coming next. In part two!

Have you tried our Fennel Hot Water?!

In my early 20s, I started having gut health issues and slowed digestion. My Nani put me on to fennel hot water and it changed my life. In Ayurveda, fennel or sauf is known as a tridoshic herb that promotes digestion because of its anti-inflammatory properties and it’s rich in fiber which helps your metabolism.
1️⃣ Fennel Hot Water: Add 1/2 teaspoon of raw fennel seeds to a cup of hot water. Stir and let sit for 1-2 minutes.
3️⃣ Drink 1-2 cups every day and before and 30 min before an event and follow for more tips!
