I’ve been a complete bookworm for as long as I can remember, and reading has always been one of my favorite ways to spend my time. Over the years I’ve read a mix of classics, contemporary novels, fantasy, thrillers, manga, and just about anything that caught my interest, which means my bookshelf is a little all over the place. These are some of the books and manga that have stayed with me the most, whether because of their writing, characters, emotional impact, or simply because they were impossible to put down. My taste is constantly evolving and I’m always looking for new recommendations, but these are the titles I find myself thinking about, rereading, or recommending to others again and again. 📚♡

My skin has honestly gone through every phase you can imagine, so over the years I’ve ended up trying a lot of different products just to figure out what actually makes a real difference. Through a lot of trial and error, I’ve narrowed it down to these products that I personally keep coming back to because they’ve consistently helped my skin stay more balanced, calm, and overall healthier-looking no matter what it’s going through. I wouldn’t say my routine is perfect or fixed, because I still like experimenting and switching things up, but these are the ones I trust the most and always end up recommending since they’ve genuinely proven themselves over time instead of just being temporary hype.

I’ve been doing makeup since I was really young and over time I’ve tried a lot of low-cost and drugstore products to figure out what actually works and what’s just hype. These are my current go-to favorites that I always find myself coming back to because they consistently perform well without breaking the bank. I do like switching things up and testing new products, but a few of these have genuinely stayed in my routine for years because they just never miss ;)
