Hi I’m Radhika, the brains behind A Curlerfulmind, thank you for stopping by! I guess you want to know a bit about me so here goes!
I started out heading up Features at Asiana and Asiana Wedding magazines. I loved the job but the long hours with little room to enjoy life took its toll. So I changed direction and worked in events for international media, marketing and communications. In between I took a sabbatical in Italy, worked on a newspaper in Sri Lanka, spent a year’s working holiday in Australia and backpacked around Spain. There is far more to do on that front but I realise how much I missed writing so voilà, thus was born A Curlerfulmind.
What is it all about? Well there’s quite an eclectic selection on offer:
As an Asian girl with unruly curls I constantly have to justify my looks to my culture. At the end of my tether, I created Curly Hair Care, a resource for fellow Asian curlies to read for advice, interviews, and personal stories of curly hair trials and triumphs. Because we all could use a little support while the rest of the world catches up with how cool curls are!
Pathologically single? Don’t worry I reckon Cupid likes to have his fun in the match-making game. I’m living proof and by sharing my dating disasters, I hope you find some comfort in my Dating page.
I haven’t covered the entire globe yet but my travels make for an interesting read. I love exploring and having lived abroad in different countries, I’ve picked up insider knowledge to side-step the pitfalls of the easy-prey tourist. Have a read and see what takes your fancy in Travel.
Finally in Health and Wellbeing, I touch on my struggles with Anxiety and Depression all topped off with a dose of Adrenal PCOS. If you are struggling with any of the above I hope my insight gives you some support.
Finally there’s Just Sayin’ a place for my opinion on topical stories in the media.
So enjoy, laugh, cry, shout. It’s all light-hearted banter and feel free to get in touch!
Finally a HUGE thanks to these guys without whom this blog would NEVER have happened:
Sam Rowe, website designer and fellow travel addict. He’s great to work with, will always advise but without steam rolling over your own ideas. Check him out on samrowe.net– highly recommend!
Adrian Nettleship, photographer based in East London. A true gem who took my photos and made me look pretty. He actually got me on the springboard for A Curlerful Mind. http://www.adriannettleship.com/
