As a goth beauty enthusiast, Goth is more than just the color black & the post-punk music. Goth is all about embracing anyone who’s rejected by society (gender, sexuality, race, outfit choice, etc.) while also embracing haunted literature & the other side. If you’re ever curious about learning all about the goth culture, please follow these influencers for education!

When it comes to makeup, it’s all about prepping & creating your perfect canvas before expressing your art. That’s why my lists include makeup products I personally use whenever I want to be my creative self. From gothic makeup, or even some doll-like makeup, here are my personal favorites for skin preparation for the perfect makeup base!

STOP SUPPORTING A CORRUPT CORPORATION THAT ABUSES THEIR EMPLOYEES & INCREASES THEIR PRICES ON CHEAP PRODUCT!!!! Instead, use my list for some of the best coffee shops in Los Angeles & Orange County!

From cute outfits, to cute accessories, be sure to shop these independent brands for your favorite accessories! These are all friends of mine who are major enthusiasts of Harajuku, Tokyo-inspired fashion. They range from necklaces, hair pins, rings, bracelets, & even nails! All of my friends are incredibly talented & definitely deserve to have their shop grow & blossom! Shopping vendors is also crucial in aiding a community during rough economic times, plus you even help these entrepreneurs support their families with their bills + rent! Why support a corporation who hurts their employees & environment when you can help a starving entrepreneur’s dreams of having a successful business?

I have been a recovering alcoholic since November 2023, & I am known for advocating others to quit ingesting poison & do other fun hobbies besides drinking poison or smoking tar. Anywho, this list consists of things you can do to give yourself some fun times that don’t require poison. If you’re recovering from addiction, my list may give you inspiration for your upcoming creative adventures!

Many people know me for my underground music taste. Because I’m on the hunt for giving small artists the opportunity to grow their following, I always love exploring underground genres from underground artists. From shoegaze, to metal, to even pop opera, these artists have a small following of less than 100,000.

How did I start my makeup influencer journey? It’s all thanks to these makeup baddies who I’m proud to take inspiration from!

My family said to me, "Leona, you smell like a boy's locker room." Thanks to their remarks, I've been using these fragrances that'll create a unique touch about our wardrobe!

Cruelty-free skincare products I use to keep my super sensitive skin clean, fresh, supple, & even fits my makeup videos!

All of my makeup products I use for my IG makeup reels! They range from affordable for aspiring makeup artists to pricey but heal-worthy!

I’m super introverted due to wanting my own adventure, so I’m recommending places that do not require a group of people! These are the best places for flying solo!
