Quarantine has certainly awoken the "treat yourself" Queen within me and I have been on various shameless online shopping sprees (maybe just a little shame). A few of my colleagues are big fans of Lush products, mostly their bath bombs. I'm not a bather of any sort, so I was more interested in their other … Continue reading Product reviews: Mask of Magnaminty, Cup O’ Coffee, & Oaty Creamy Dreamy by Lush
So I'm here with another skincare-related post and since I previously shared my May 2020 evening skincare routine, I figured it was time to share my morning skincare routine. Washing my face first thing in the morning is the best way to jumpstart my day. In the morning I cleanse my face with the Indie … Continue reading My morning skincare routine | May 2020
As beautiful as coffee table books are, I would only ever own them for aesthetic purposes. I love the look of coffee table books as decorative accents, but they are so expensive and so heavy, so I can't really justify buying them--but if I were gifted any, that would be completely acceptable.

Believe it or not, not all Asian mothers have secrets when it comes to beautiful skin. My mom has pretty nice skin with very little effort--she was literally just born with it. So, when I started struggling with acne, she really didn't know what to tell me except to just try whatever I could get … Continue reading My evening skincare routine | May 2020
If I listed all the printed books I own and haven't read yet, this post would be miles long. But I thought I'd share some of the books I really do want to get to...eventually. Does anyone else have this problem? I have this issue with mainly print books. I actually prefer ebooks and those … Continue reading Books I own and still haven’t read (but I really want to) | 5/14/20
Prior to starting my full-time job, I was reading multiple books at a time. My usual equation was 1 print book, plus 1 book, plus 1 audiobook. When I became a full-time librarian, I was reading a little less and mostly focused on books I was assigned to review by my editor (I review young … Continue reading “What I’m reading” Wednesday | 5/13/2020
