is it too late to try to be successful online?

I've been watching vlogtober from a few people over the past week, and a thought crossed my mind. Is it too late to start an Instagram account, a blog, or Youtube channel and be "successful"? What I mean, is it too late to grow a following if you started to take social media seriously? I feel like now is the...

melina's book club pt. 13

Hey, I'm back again to our monthly book club. I ended up reading lots of books! Some from my kindle app, some from my ibooks app, and some paperbacks! Overall, a pretty successful month in terms of books. This is what I'm currently reading right now (yes, some books from last month, I still didn't finish):        ...

should you strive to advance in your job in your 20s?

This week my parents are on vacation. If you didn't know, my family owns a business, and so when they're on vacation I'm in charge. That means, more responsibility and many more hours of work. Since it's a family business, I've been working on and off since I was about 12. It started with me working only on Saturdays. Then,...

how i'm feeling months after the breakup.

At the end of every relationship, regardless of who ended the relationship, I like to take some time for myself. A period of self reflection. I take the time to think about aspects of that relationship. What I liked about that partner, and what I didn't. What I need in my next relationship for it to work out. What I...

melina's book club pt. 12

It's been almost two months since I've written a book post. I have read sooo many books in the last two months, and yet, it's taken me forever to write mini reviews about them! I'm here and I'm back to writing some more reviews on some of the books I've read. This time around I'm going to be doing things...

dear diary,

It's kind of weird going from writing a blog post twice a week, to barely scraping one. I don't even have a good excuse for not pushing myself to write. I know I feel good when I write blog posts. I have loads of ideas constantly passing through my head about things to write about, and yet, after spending 8...

finally learning to be confident.

I've never been a confident person growing up. I was probably the opposite of that most of the time. I was extremely self-conscious of myself at all times. I worried about what I looked like to other people, and compared myself to other people I wanted to be like. In high school, I did have a conversation with a group...

my skincare routine | 2019

In the last few months, I've tried to do a better job at taking care of my skin. I used to be the person who always  fell asleep with her makeup on, and just didn't really care about my skin too much. A lot has changed since. It does help that my sister is obsessed with skincare. If you're curious...

Today it's a rainy dreary day on the north east coast. I'm currently watching the rain fall outside, and it's quite peaceful. Sadly I do have to go out in a bit to run a few errands, so I will have to step out later today. For now, I'll keep writing and eating my avocado toast. Today I decided to...
