a compilation of items that can help you consume less and save more in the midst of a buy-buy-buy culture. yes, a lot of these will technically be things to buy, but in hopes of not having to buy so often, being more sustainable, and overall spending less of your hard-earned money! :)

coming from a shopaholic (lol) who lives here, these are all the best spots in honolulu/waikiki if you wanna shop!!

i have an etsy shop of my own but probably ⅓ of the time i spend on the website is me browsing through other people's creations lol. PEOPLE ARE SO CREATIVE I LOVE IT anyway here's some of my favorite finds 👀

don't settle for plain walls and the big light!! the place you live is meant to be LIVED IN, make it your own with uniquely beautiful home decor and furniture <3

i shop a lot. most of the time i'm not blown away. sometimes i am. this list is a collection of all the things that i will be recommending to everyone constantly for the rest of my life. (sometimes impulse purchases turn out to be the best things ever. here's my attempt at saving someone else some headache and money!!)

so i love shopping. unfortunately my wallet is not in fact infinite, so most of what i do is browse online stores and create endless wishlists of things i want… considering i spend so much time sifting through stores and picking out cute clothes i thought i would share my (very long) wishlist of all my favorite things i've found :)

a list of things that i'd personally love to receive as a christmas gifts/things i'd like to get my girlfriends! :) if you're stuck on what to get the 20-something year old girl in your life, here is your inspo!

i spend all my free time scowering the internet for the cutest festive decor & accessories, so i need an excuse to put all my hard work to use 💪👩‍💻 (you're welcome 🤭)

i'm constantly browsing online shops and collecting gift ideas for people, even when i don't have any white elephant gatherings to attend to lol. if you're struggling to find a gift this year, this is your one stop shop of curated items perfect for any recipient! i hope you find this helpful or at least get some inspiration for some of your gifts this holiday season :)

i'm a sucker for jewelry and i'm always so nosy when it comes to other people's jewelry bc i feel like they have so many cute pieces meshed together but i WANNA KNOW WHERE EACH ONE IS FROM so i did some digging and compiled a list of some of said jewelry pieces you're welcome. feel free to use this for inspo or find some of your next statement pieces!! :)

the perfect fall wardrobe, straight out of a pinterest board 🍂🕯️🧸🍁✨

if it's pink, it's here. all my favorite girly finds, some of which are extremely necessary, some of which are… debatably necessary… but still cute so i added them anyway 😙🌸🎀

everything i use to do my own gel-x nails at home! everything i initially bought came out to around the price of ONE set of nails at a good salon, so the investment has been so worth it. plus i love getting to do my own designs just the way i want, getting to take my time, and NOT HAVING TO PAY AN EXTRA $5 FOR EVERY CHARM I WANT !!!!!! enjoy :)

my current favorites as someone who's finally trying to embrace her 2c/3a curls :')
