As someone who doesnโt know how to properly apply make-up (I didnโt start wearing make-up until I was in university!), I like to keep my routine very minimal, easy, and affordable. My current routine allows me to get ready in about ten minutes. I typically buy my make-up from the drugstore, but I was very…
I Gave Up Earning $24,000 Per Year on My Blogโand I Donโt Regret It
In 2018, I gave up being a (paid) blogger. I gave up the dream that every blogger seems to be chasing nowadays, and I gave up an additional $2,000 monthly income. And I donโt regret it one bit. Youโre probably wondering – did I get a raise so I could forgo $2,000 per month? Did…

Welcoming 2025
Goodbye 2024, and hello 2025! Growing up, I had a love/hate relationship with New Year’s resolutions. I remember having a handful of goals, feeling motivated for the month, and forgetting all about it.

What Are You Waiting For? Just Do It!
When I was a personal blogger (ie. blogging about my life and treating my blog as an online diary), I kept my blog private from everyone I knew in real life. People knew I had a blog, but not necessarily how to access it – I think. It wasnโt because I used my platform to…
