I know I dropped off the face of the planet sometime last year and resurfaced today but I’m happy to share a few things in my life that kept me offline for a bit. Work and school have been insanely busy; I recently got promoted to Senior and I officially have just one more semester…
Millennial Money Diary of a Human Resources Professional for September 2022
I don’t know about you but I love CNBC’s Millennial Money and Refinery29’s Money Diaries. Maybe it’s because I love to snoop but there’s something about learning how someone spends their money is interesting. I’d figure since I enjoy it so much, I’d share my monthly money diaries! Without ado, here’s my September 2022 money…
Forget what you’ve heard about brazilian waxes – an honest bikini waxing experience
Do you cringe when people mention bikini waxes? The thought of all that pain as the esthetician rips the hair out of one of your most sensitive areas? That was me several years ago… hell, that was me up until a few months ago! I thought that any type of bikini waxing would hurt beyond…
5 Affordable Activewear Brands
Here’s the truth – working out can be expensive. From the gym or studio memberships to the fancy workout equipment to the nice workout attires. To give you an idea, back when I was a member of Pure Barre, I was paying nearly $90/month, plus fancy sticky socks that range from $15-25 per pair. But,…

Located on 1901 Rosser Ave #106b, Burnaby, inside of Madison Centre, Tendon Kohaku, a tempura donburi restaurant, is still relatively new to the Brentwood neighbourhood, having opened only a year or two ago.

Dior Book Tote Review – Good for Travelling?
Last year for my birthday, I decided to get a Dior book tote! It was a bag that caught my attention but I never found a pattern that I loved enough. I could’ve gone with the classic oblique or Toile de Jouy design but I knew it wouldn’t spark joy. I eventually found the small…
Product Review: Burt’s Bee Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm
This review is not sponsored by Burt’s Bee. All opinions are my own. Guess who finally finished her first Burt’s Bee lip balm?! I ended up going to Target to get a new lip balm but unfortunately, they ran out of the peppermint one that I used last time (yellow stick above) so I ended…
My Copper IUD Experience
*This post is most likely NSFW and TMI for those who are uncomfortable with sexual topics. This is my personal account with IUD; some readers may find it too graphical. I’m choosing to share my experience because, during my research, I couldn’t find many personal details/experiences of copper IUDs besides medical summaries of copper IUDs….
