I didn't get my "worst" skin until I turned 20. I mean cystic breakouts along my jaw, painful under-the-skin bumps… but, all of the products that I tried were made for teenage skin, not hormonal adult skin. this list is what's actually worked, section by section, for people whose acne is tied to hormones and doesn't respond to typical drugstore fixes

ok so i've been collecting perfumes for years and i finally organized my favorites (not just the hyped ones, the ones i reach for on repeat) by when i actually wear them. everyday errands, first dates, cozy nights in, the ones that make you smell expensive without being $300, and a few niche picks if you wanna be That Girl. no fillers, just what's actually in my rotation for a reason.

i started tracking my cycle a while back mostly out of curiosity, and it completely changed how i think about skincare and supplements. turns out your skin and body genuinely need different support depending on where you are in your cycle. this list is everything i've collected phase by phase: menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, luteal. nothing fancy, just the stuff that's actually backed by what's happening hormonally each week. hope it helps you as much as it's helped me 🩷

i tried on entirely too many swimsuits this season so you don't have to. these are the pieces that photograph well, hold up in the water, and don't look like everyone else's amazon try-on haul. mixed high-low: some splurges, some steals, all genuinely cute. bookmark this before your next trip and feel free to ask anything if you have questions

Everyone needs stationary for school. But why not make it cute so that you smile every time you look at them?

if your desk currently looks like a crime scene of dried-out pens and post-its from 2019, this is your sign. i've spent way too many hours curating the actual pieces that make a desk feel like yours. everything here is stuff i genuinely use every day, organized so you're not overwhelmed, just inspired <3

I am the biggest fan of planners, journals and just finding ways to stay organized in general. I have used my experience and love for this topic and created this list to hopefully help you find that perfect planner that is cute, functional and most importantly makes you wanna get things done! I have separated things into categories, based on different spread types (daily, weekly, monthly spreads), focus points (academics, teaching, work, home…) and I genuinely hope this will help you navigate the journey of choosing your companion for the next year <3

Black history month is so important. It is the perfect time to celebrate black authors and listen to POC. These are some of the best books I have read in the past year. So I invite you to support these authors and enjoy their masterpieces!

i've been in more reading slumps than i can count, and these are the 20 books that have pulled me out every single time. i sorted them by mood so you can just pick whatever you're craving right now. if you finish one of these and DON'T immediately want to start the next book on this list, i'll be shocked.

Sometimes you just want a story that feels like sun-soaked afternoons, late-night texts, and butterflies you can’t shake. These books are sweet, swoony, and a little addictive — the kind you’ll fly through in a weekend but still think about long after. Here is a list of my fave summer I've read this year!

i have been a dancer my whole life, and for the past few years, tango has been my obsession. if you're trying to navigate the london argentine tango scene, it can feel a bit overwhelming with so many different spots, changing schedules, and hidden basement venues. whether you're a local regular or just visiting for a weekend, here is a curated guide to the absolute best milongas, casual practicas, and outdoor summer spots across the city, plus some highly rated gear to keep you dancing comfortably all night long.

After years of working out, I've found the activewear that's actually worth buying.
