It’s still a mystery why after all the strides we’ve managed to make through the decades, how a privileged rich old white man with practically zero presidential or political experience who advocates to “grab her by the pussy” became the 45th President of the United States. It’s really devastating to read articles about bright, ambitious … Continue reading We Need Feminism More Than Ever in 2017
Starbucks is often synonymous with basic and *like totally* known for that time of the year when the leaves fade into a sunset palette and flocks of girls donning their uggs, yoga pants and fleece jackets make their yearly migration for the sacred pumpkin spice latte, or infamously shortened, PSL. It's not a surprise that Starbucks … Continue reading Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room Battling the Basic
I'm not your Asian sidekick. I'm not your fetish. I'm not your model minority. I'm sick of having white people tell our narratives in the media. I'm sick of scanning through ads and posts and only seeing a sea of pale white faces. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to have … Continue reading Not Your Asian Accessory
Move aside anamorphic nude anxiety-filled egg yolk, Sanrio's newest character is bound to steal all our hearts in 2017. Why? Because she is all of us at some point in our lives. Aggretsuko is a cute, seemingly shy, single 25-year old red panda who works as an office associate in the big city of Tokyo, … Continue reading Aggretsuko is all of us
Originally published on my medium. I thought I did and I threw some around, but then I realized I didn’t want to only resolve to improve myself once a year. I want to make goals and challenge myself all year-round. Although I am completely and utterly guilty of this, I don’t want to have to … Continue reading I Don’t Have a New Year’s Resolution

Would Danny Zuko and the rest of the T-Birds be as threatening and cool without their leather jackets? Would Will still be as fresh without his … Continue reading Don’t Mesh with My Heart
Midsummer 2016... new hair, more self-love, and big ol' mom jeans. I wanted to do a typical self-encouraging, motivational "new year, new you" post during New Years but in all honestly I didn't actually feel that way at the time. I was actually feeling really low and I couldn't bring myself to lie about feeling … Continue reading Another Song About California
Milk Makeup is an up-and-coming contemporary beauty brand that hit the shelves sometime early this year or last year. If you take a gander at their Instagram or website, it's easy to see that they have a modern, artistic yet functional feel. Most of their products come neatly sealed in a plastic tube with their … Continue reading Milk: Tattoo Stamp Review
“So you like K-pop.” “Uh… no? Why?” “You look like you like K-pop.” “I do?” “Yeah. Your hair. And your makeup. You have the K-pop look.” Yes, it is wrong to assume I like K-pop. Do I actually like K-pop? Sure, why the hell not? I mean, I’m not really a fan but I don’t … Continue reading Yes, It is Wrong to Assume I like K-pop
Today I was lucky enough to attend a VIB Rouge event! For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it's the top tier of Sephora's rewards program. Admittedly, I spend way too much of my paychecks on beauty products and believe me, everyone loves teasing me about it. I've never had perfect skin. I'm very … Continue reading Here’s What Happened at a VIB Rouge Event
