Thrifting has modernised from big stores to tiny little squares on Instagram, where people can easily buy and sell epic pieces from their wardrobes. Thrifting is more than selling pre-loved clothes, it’s all about making fashion affordable, sustainable and of course being a BOSS to your own little business. Avanthika Reddy takes a look at the hottest thrift stores in town right now…

Gracia Cero – A Mindful Way to Celebrate Gracia Cero by Kantala Spirits introduces a modern, inclusive way to celebrate, especially when not everyone at the table chooses to drink alcohol.

Recognised as India’s first non-alcoholic agave drink, Gracia Cero is completely alcohol-free (0% ABV) and sugar-free, containing only four calories per serving, making it an appealing option for wellness-focused consumers and those seeking lighter alternatives. Crafted with the natural goodness of agave, it offers a refreshing and flavourful experience without the heaviness or next-day fatigue associated with alcohol. The drink is available in two vibrant variants Raw ’n’ Wild Mango and Pineapple Piñata, bringing a playful tropical twist to alcohol-free beverages while maintaining a premium, celebratory feel. Whether served neat, lengthened with soda, or used in creative mocktails, Gracia Cero fits seamlessly into intimate dinners, date nights, and social gatherings.

New & Noteworthy: A Peek at the Latest Products in Town

Hashtag Magazine brings you a curated peek at the newest products making waves right now. From beauty must-haves to lifestyle launches, here’s what’s fresh, trending, and worth discovering. NIVEA Luminous Even Glow Oil Control Day Cream with SPF 50 This multifunctional daily face cream combines high sun protection with pigmentation-targeting technology and oil control, making it ideal for regular use in bright, sunny conditions. It features SPF 50 and UVA/UVB filters to help shield the skin from harmful ultraviolet rays that can trigger pigmentation and tanning, making it suitable for daily outdoor wear. A standout ingredient is Thiamidol, a patented compound shown to target pigmentation at the source and help reduce the appearance of dark spots over time. The formula also includes hyaluronic acid to support hydration without adding greasiness, and a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin. This cream has a non-greasy feel, effective oil control lasting up to 12 hours, and a smooth matte finish, which makes it a good base under makeup. Many find it helps even out skin tone gradually with ongoing use, although spot reduction is subtle and takes time for some users. Because of the SPF level and broad skin type suitability, it is widely recommended for daily routines. Overall, it balances protection, hydration, and cosmetic benefits in one product, making it a versatile day cream for daily sun-exposed skin. Oshea Herbals Papaya Clean Anti-Blemish Face Wash If your skincare shelf is missing a fuss-free, everyday cleanser that brightens without over-stripping, Oshea Herbals Papaya Clean Anti Blemish Face Wash might earn its place. Infused with papaya extract, this gel-based formula leans on the fruit’s natural enzymes to deliver gentle exfoliation, helping sweep away dead skin cells that contribute to dullness and uneven tone.

Richa Jaggi | Building Awshad, a Compassion-First Wellness Brand

Richa Jaggi’s entrepreneurial journey began not in a boardroom but in a moment of profound personal loss. Based in New Delhi, she brings over 14 years of marketing experience, complemented by executive education from Harvard and IIM Ahmedabad, and global exposure across leading brands. Raised in a close-knit business family that valued integrity and resilience, she grew up with a strong foundation in ethics and enterprise. But it was losing her dog, Champ, to cancer that reshaped her direction. “Champ’s cancer became my turning point,” she shares. Witnessing the gaps in compassionate, evidence-based care left her questioning why gentler, effective alternatives were not more accessible. That question became the seed for Awshad. Building with Science and Empathy As Co-Founder and CMO of Awshad, a medical cannabis wellness brand, Richa operates at the intersection of science, empathy, and storytelling. “Awshad was born from personal loss,” she says. “This brand is not just my work; it is a mission.” Her focus lies in humanising complex and often misunderstood categories like medical cannabis, while maintaining regulatory and ethical rigour. She balances intuition with data, and growth with responsibility, a leadership style shaped by both corporate discipline and personal conviction. The Entrepreneurial Leap Leaving a stable corporate career was not easy. The path came with regulatory hurdles, social stigma, and emotional weight. Yet, for Richa, the uncertainty was outweighed by meaning. “The conviction to build something impactful made the risk worthwhile,” she reflects. Building trust in a misunderstood category became both Awshad’s biggest challenge and its greatest opportunity. Today, the brand is steadily growing, backed by doctors, patients, and measurable outcomes. Values That Anchor Richa is guided by integrity, empathy, and long-term impact. “Businesses must heal, not just sell,” she believes. Her daily rituals include reflection and staying connected to real patient stories, grounding
