One thing I inherited from my Japanese grandma was the hair-straight as ever. These are the products I use to keep it up and to make it actually hold a curl. As someone who has chronic split ends and fine hair this is what has worked best for keeping my blonde blonde, and my long hair long.

When it comes to manifesting and mindset books, I might have read them all over the years — some that completely shifted the way I think, and others that didn’t quite land. After a ton of trial and error (and a few big breakthroughs), I’ve put together this list of the ones that really made a difference for me.
These are the books that helped me understand how manifestation actually works, how to shift my energy, and how to get out of my own way. Some are classics you’ve probably heard of, others are hidden gems that deserve way more attention.
If you’re ready to level up your mindset, attract more aligned opportunities, or just feel more in flow with life — these books are a great place to start. ✨

Luang Prabang, the cultural center in northern Laos, blew me away. Situated on the mighty Mekong River, this town is a patchwork quilt of beautiful nature, fresh food, and artisan shops. Laos has put effort to make this town BEAUTIFUL and classy. My guide to Luang Prabang may be a little biased because it holds such a special place in my heart. Surprisingly, the center of the city almost feels like Europe, with tables set up in the street to people-watch while you slowly drink a coffee. The best part of my visit was wandering around the stunning alleyways, peeking in artisan shops and taking in the vibes. Not only is Luang Prabang reminiscent of the ancient Lanna kingdom with its beautiful brown traditional houses against green palm trees, but also in its influence of the French rule — as noted by the laissez faire cafes & best buttery croissant I’ve had in Southeast Asia.
