Meet Alcor & Mizar: The Luxury Scented Candle Brand
Meet Alcor & Mizar, the scented candle brand that smells like main character energy and was built by a Gen Z founder who said “let’s romanticize life, one flame at a time.” Hand-poured, vibe-checked, and inspired by literal stars, these candles go beyond fragrance, they’re a whole mood. Whether you're crying on the floor or throwing a solo dance party, there’s a scent that gets you. Warning: may cause a sudden urge to redecorate.

Why I Named My Blog ‘Girl Next Shore’ (and No, It’s Not a Typo)
Why “Girl Next Shore”? Because I’m not your average girl-next-door—I’m the one googling beach getaways at 2 AM. I love the ocean, chaos, and everything travel teaches us—like how to be broke and happy. This blog is my ode to salty breeze, street smarts, and slow savings. Travel isn’t a luxury, it’s a life lesson. So, save a little, pack that bag, and go. Because living? I b-live it means exploring. Welcome to my shoreline of stories.

Nagpur Travel Guide: The City of Oranges, Tigers & Zero Mile Confusion
Nagpur isn’t just about oranges and heatwaves—it’s a wild, quirky ride filled with tiger safaris (minus the tigers), ghost trees, and the most legendary Tarri Poha you'll ever eat. From Futala Lake views to spiritual stops like Deekshabhoomi and Ramtek temple, this city's got drama, flavor, and fun. Add in some budget shopping and a dash of sarcasm, and boom—you've got yourself a trip worth talking (and blogging) about!
