Before my semester abroad, i used to pick my skincare products based on a self diagnosis and recommendations for tiktok, but when i went to Olive Young to get a skin scan, everything I thought i was wasn't the case… Instead of combination skin, turns out i had dry skin (because of winter too) and enlarged pores and a keratin problem. Now, i have a list of products to use in the morning and evening to help my skin get to the best state yet, and i wanted to share it!

I’m one of those people who loves seeing what's in my bag content...so here’s my own version! This list has all the things that keep me comfortable, productive, and sane throughout the day. Some are practical, some are purely comforting, but all are part of my daily routine.Anyway, enjoy this little list I made!

ever since i got in south korea, i’ve been completely obsessed with the cafe scene in korea. there’s seriously one on every corner, and each one has its own vibe — some are cozy and quiet, others are super aesthetic and perfect for photos, and a few just have that feeling you can’t explain. i started this list to keep track of all the cafes i’ve either fallen in love with or can’t wait to visit. it’s for anyone who loves spending hours chatting with friends over iced lattes, trying out new desserts, or just sitting by the window watching the city go by. i wanted a little space to collect those “must go” spots that make you feel warm, inspired, and maybe a little romantic too. so if you’re cafe hopping around korea — welcome, you’re in the right place ☁️

I have been studying and using korean skincare and other k beauty brands for the past 6 years, so i thought i could make a list with al the holy grails that i used and tried, to make a guide of all my favorites to help you find the right products for you!! My skin type is mixed :) order i do: -oil cleanser -water cleanser - toner - serum - moisturizer - mask/SPF

I made this list because I go through romance phases depending on the season : some months I want something light and fun, others I just need a story that makes me feel warm again. Also, i always have trouble finding books for each season and i think i’m not the only one so i thought that making this list would help some people to get their next book or read to enjoy! Think summer flings, cozy winter cuddles, messy fall emotions, and all the in-between moments that make reading romance so comforting. It’s not just a list — it’s a year of feelings in book form.

Readers are picky, trust me, I know, because I am one. These are the gifts I would actually use (and not just let sit on a shelf). If you’re shopping for a bookworm, this is your cheat sheet to get something for christmas or even birthdays !!
