I know what you're thinking… “There are cool girl spots in SALEM?” And to that I say…. beauty is in the eye of the beholder, baby!!! If you somehow ended up in Salem as a 20 something year old like me… you gotta make the most of it. So these are the spots I would take my friends if they were visiting me :)

I am a soft-glam girlie at heart. I want to look like myself but just a liiiiitle bit elevated, you know? These are the products I use every single day to achieve that natural, glowy, and long-lasting makeup look. I am half filipina/half white and figuring out my shades/undertones took me awhile, but I think I finally got it :)

everyone deserves to enjoy the outdoors :) some of the hikes on this list are rated easy, some are rated moderate; of course, do your research and be prepared for the trail accordingly. remember to leave no trace, take your time, and have fun out there! ⋆˚꩜

I am no pro-hiker by anyyyyy means, but I like to think I know what a good hiking bag contains. however! a small DISCLAIMER: this list isn't about the hiking essentials like water (duh), first aid (also duh), and all the other 10 essentials – those are a given, my friend! this list is of the things that you don't technically *need* to bring, but are helpful and fun to have! aka the non-essential essentials :)

I’m 5’2” and am usually a L/XL/14/16. I thrift a lot of my clothes, but these are some items that I’ve purchased new and LOVE!
