Here’s a little collection of books and series that I can’t stop recommending, from childhood favorites to recent obsessions. I’m drawn to stories with a touch of magic, a hint of mischief, and fairytales that aren’t always neat and tidy. These are the books that make me laugh, stay up way too late reading, or completely lose myself in another world. Hopefully, they’ll do the same for you.

The main things I'm known for are being pretty, being smart, and smelling amazing. I’m quite literally a walking Sephora. So trust me when I say this (unless you're a gourmand girlie 🤢), you NEED to try these perfumes at least once in your life. It’s simply a non-negotiable. This list covers clean-girl staples, soft luxury scents, and head-turners that get compliments every single time. From one beginner fragrance girl, these are the bottles that never let me down — the ones that make people stop and say “you smell SO good!”

A list of drugstore + mid-range/high-end must-haves for when you’re building (or rebuilding) your makeup kit. As a girlie who’s had her entire makeup case stolen before 😭 — consider this your shortcut to starting fresh without the stress. Everything here is worth the repurchase. 💅🏽
