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. I actually own … Continue reading Coffee table books I’d collect (if money were no object)

My evening skincare routine | May 2020
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
Books I own and still haven’t read (but I really want to) | 5/14/20

My current quarantine routine

Being half-unemployed, for the time being, and not being able to go out is definitely a bummer, but my introverted self is quite capable of keeping myself occupied while at home. That … Continue reading My current quarantine routine
