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!
