Let's face it. We all need someone who would tell us exactly what celebrities, influencers, tastemakers, founders, movers and shakers have in their little black book. So, we became that person, and we’re shining the spotlight on sexual health educator, author, mythologist and writer of The Arts Of Seduction—Seema Anand. You have to be living under a rock if you've not come across the storyteller's immersive Indian mythological stories, and super informative, no BS, sexual health videos on Instagram! We chatted with her, and here's what her perennial favourite things are.
A Few Of Seema Anand's Favourite Things
White Chikankaari Sarees From Seva Chikan
₹4999
She says she loves chikankaari sarees from Seva and whenever she visits Lucknow, she's sure to pick up at least 8! Other than that she loves Merchand Market in Delhi for her signature cotton sarees.
Silver Jewellery From Silver Streak
₹10500
For her earrings and other jewellery which she mostly wears in silver, her go to place is Silver Streak which is a Mumbai-based silver jewellery brand doing everything silver from earrings, necklaces, anklets and more in the most traditional, and intricate patterns and styles.
Mac Eye Gel
₹1700
"I use the Mac eyeliner gel for both my water line and eyeliner, I love it because it doesn't make my eyes sting or water and doesn't tend to run like kohl."
The Crisom Throne By Sudhir Kakar
₹195
Every womxn must read, The Crimson Throne by Sudhir Kakar. It reads like fiction which easily makes it one of my favourites.
Whispers In the Dark By Im Besharam
This one is an erotic podcast called Whispers In the Dark By Im Besharam which feature immersive pillow talks that encourage self gratification, normalising pleasure. I also recommend the Masala Podcast which is a South Asian feminist podcast.
Kiehl's Night Serum
₹2100
I use the night serum from Kiehl's which is the midnight recovery concentrate packed with lavender essential oil, squalane and the likes, for supple skin while fighting signs of ageing.
Chance By Chanel
₹14000
I am an absolute lover of perfumes and I actually has a different scent for everything. So this one is for me! It's an iconic signature fragrance, that is classic and smells divine.
PS: She has dedicated ones for her handbag and even her shoes!
Nargis Body Mist By Forest Essentials
₹1050
An established lover of fragrances, I am also a huge fan of Forest Essentials. The Nargis body mist makes it to my top products from the brand.
Indian Rose Cream By Forest Essentials
₹2295
Another favourite from Forest Essentials is the desi gulab cream which is one of my favourites! This one is packed with the goodness of all things nice (and divine smelling) while being rooted in clean, and scientific ayurveda.
Vaseline Lip Balm
₹49
I swear by the good 'ol vaseline lip balm which comes in the tube form. I pick up a bunch whenever I visit India, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
