just a few spots i’ve loved so far; fancy-ish, worth it, and delicious. more to come as i keep exploring.

keeping track of the chicago bars I’ve been to and loved. high energy, fun crowds, and always a good time!

this is my everyday makeup lineup: mostly affordable drugstore faves that seriously deliver. i grab a lot of these at CVS (they always have bomb weekly deals ), so you don’t have to splurge to get some glow. perfect for getting ready in 10 mins or less!

everything I actually use in the shower to stay clean, smooth, and smelling good — simple, affordable, and effective

a lineup that’s been through it with me. this is what i use to keep my bleached, heat-damaged hair soft, strong, and semi-sane. hydration, repair, and a little heat protection magic. my tried and trues

these are the thrillers i couldn’t put down. they've got messy characters, dark secrets, and twists I did not see coming. if you’re into suspense, unreliable narrators, or that one chapter that makes you stare at the wall after, this list is for you.

christmas gift ideas for your boyfriend, brother, or best guy friend — a mix of classics, surprises, and things he’ll actually get excited about.

a running list of my random side hobbies because apparently i can’t just have one personality trait haha

pajamas i actually look forward to putting on. soft, comfy, and cute enough that i love to wear around my bf (bonus points for how much he likes them too)

the little things that make wfh life so much better: from cozy loungewear and desk setup stuff to the random things i swear by to stay focused
