The only reason I picked this one up was because on The Financial Diet Youtube channel, Chelsea Fagan talked about this being her latest novel and I was like, “I didn’t know she wrote fiction!” Summary… — read more

My brain was receiving so much information throughout the day, getting a constant stream of updates from notifications, that I sometimes wanted to throw my phone against the wall in the insane hope that it’d break my screen addiction.

Prior to this, I had a streak of reading for 105 days in a row. I was proud of that streak and I made sure to read at least a page a day to keep it going. However, when I spent the night with friends at an Airbnb, I neglected to read and so I… — read more

I’m feeling thirty-two
I turned 32 this month. Despite my current life situation and my state of mind being a significant improvement from previous years, I still grappled with the existential dread that turns up every time my birthday draws near.

QUICK REVIEW: Profusion 10-Pan Palettes
Emily Noel (as usual!) put me on to this brand. Unfortunately, all I could find on Shopee was the eyeshadow palettes, not the blushes which I also wanted.
