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...

post i’m lovin’ | #18

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...

finding my people (a love note to my best friends)

I remember the exact moment when I realized that I have found "my people". It wasn't that long ago, about 2-3 weeks ago. Erika's best friend invited me on a trip to the Poconos for her birthday. About a week before the trip, a group message was made for all of the people that were going to come on the...

summer haul with prettylittlething.

I decided to take my reintroduction (I know I'm being wayy dramatic, it's only been two weeks) to blogging by sharing with you my mini summer haul with PrettyLittleThing! I have been beyond blessed to get the chance to work with them again! I absolutely love their clothes, and have been my go-tos whenever I need a cute, inexpensive, yet...

the burnout has been real.

It's been over two weeks, since I've sat down and written anything. Actually that's a lie, I've had tons of ideas flowing. While I've been filling up my drafts with more and more thoughts that I'd like to write about, I haven't written a post in over two weeks. I think that's the longest I've gone without posting. Even if...

dear diary,

While I experience anxiety extremely often, it's been a while that I have felt anxious about a social situation. Earlier this week, I had to drive 3 hours to go on a business trip. One that I've been dreading going since the moment I found out I had to go. Certain things that are out of my comfort zone make...
