My go-to summer skin and makeup essentials, from skincare and everyday makeup items to body care and wellness products!

Looking for the perfect book to get lost in this summer? This list gathers my favorite reads for long afternoons, quiet evenings, and golden hours. From lyrical literary fiction to gripping stories with heart, each book here is unforgettable in its own way. Whether you're drawn to sun-drenched romance, quiet introspection, or slow-burning suspense, these titles will keep you company wherever the season takes you—by the sea, in the shade, or just curled up at home.

From sun-drenched longing to quiet grief, surreal myth to emotional realism, each title here lingers like a memory half-lived. Whether you're looking for lyrical summer reads, slow-burning literary fiction, or stories that ache in beautiful ways, this list gathers novels, memoirs, and poetry that feel both timeless and timely.

These are some of my non-negotiables for self care, unwinding, and that time when you don’t know quite what you need except to feel lavish and pampered. Some of these I use multiple times a week, and some of them I use more sporadically but I highly recommend everything on this list!

As a college student living in Boston, I’m always on the lookout for new and fun things to do, foods to try, and places to go. I’ve curated this list that’s full of my favorite things this city has to offer that I try to take advantage of as much as possible. Some recs are activity-based and cost money, and some are totally free!
