About
Meet Geeta
As a corporate lawyer for 10 years I’ve helped close a number of deals, but this blog is me closing a longstanding deal I had with myself, to start something I’m passionate about and that will hopefully help make a difference around me.
So what am I passionate about? Making an impact (choosing cruelty-free and sustainable), helping those around me make compassionate choices, elegant living, tea (lots of tea!), and all things dogs, London’s parks, the gym, romcoms, One Tree Hill (team Nathan ❤️), Turkish drama (with English subtitles of course), looking at overcast skies from cozy cafes, Autumn, Christmas and Hallmark movie vibes! ✨
bonjour, mon ami!
La Belle Vie Through This Blog
As someone who likes an elegant lifestyle and has been striving to do this mindfully (by making compassionate choices), I’ve come to realise that you don’t have to choose one over the other. You can be kind to Mother Nature, our environment, and animals without compromising your lifestyle. If you are someone that enjoys an elevated lifestyle, digs the finer things in life but would love to do this with more intention, let me help you.
Through this blog, I’ll help you find options that fit your lifestyle and score high on the ethics scale too, and choices that don’t just symbolise your external wealth but meet you in your pursuit for internal richness. Sound like a win-win? I thought so! 😊
As I write I’m reminded of Coco Chanel’s famous quote on elegance: ‘Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside.’ Maybe deep down that’s what we all desire, elegance that’s beyond the superficial, luxury that’s not lax, but la belle vie that is rooted in our values, is wholesome, and compassionate.
Let’s dive in, shall we?

Thinking of Starting Your Own Blog?
Are you thinking of starting your own blog but don’t know where to start?…
Trust me, this was me just a few months ago. I knew I wanted to write about a topic I’m passionate about but felt lost about bringing it all together.
I found a few blogging courses online, and signed up for 3 of them. However, the ones I found the most helpful and tips from which I’m still following are the Perfecting Blogging and Perfecting Pinterest Courses by Sophia Lee.
Thanks to Sophia’s courses, I learnt about:
- The tools I need to start my blog
- How to structure and write a blog
- Plan and schedule content
- Promote my blog on Pinterest (which is a whole strategy in itself).
Thanks to Sophia’s course I was also able to choose my website theme. I’m currently using 17th Avenue’s Vivienne Theme.
If you’d like to see their collection of themes, here’s all the options available.
