ABOUT SHIBANI
Hi! I'm Shibani. I’m a lifestyle blogger, entrepreneur, professional amateur model, bookworm, Star Wars nerd, foodie, and intellectually curious Leo. A transplant from Mumbai, India, I've lived in Cleveland, Ohio for the past 19 years with my husband Nick, and our two rescue dogs - Webster and Reggie.
I started writing a blog in 2010 as a way to document things I was doing in my city of Cleveland. Since then my blog has evolved into a true lifestyle blog where I cover a variety of topics including books, Indian culture, food, my love for Star Wars, fashion, beauty, career, and everything and anything in between.
My goal is to introduce you to new products, places, people, and experiences that I absolutely LOVE, with the hope that you love them too! I’m inspired by conscious consumerism, so expect to see a lot of smaller, newer brands on the blog. I do occasionally work with larger, more well-known brands, but only where I truly resonate with the brand, its messaging, and its commitment to diversity and inclusion.
I love building meaningful connections with people, so stop by and say hello on my favorite social media platform, Instagram. Thank you for learning a little about me - I'm looking forward to learning about you!
Why the name Bombay Taxi? From 2015-2021 I had an online jewelry boutique inspired by my home Mumbai, and my love for travel and style hosted right here with my blog. The jewelry business no longer exists, but the name stuck!!
