When it comes to the right sunscreen to use, any is better than none at all. But making a choice between mineral (aka physical) or chemical can be a tricky one. In the Korean skincare realm, the chemical sunscreen is heavily favoured – it’s lightweight and easier to wear. But, I actually prefer to wear […]

Sunday self care reset routine
One of my favourite things to do when I am feeling overwhelmed or stagnant is to carry out a reset routine. Most of the time, it just so happens to be a Sunday. You’ve had a nice weekend, and now it’s time to prepare and recharge. This type of routine isn’t something we need every […]
25 things I learnt by 25
It took me a while to write this post because like most people, I love giving out advice while simultaneously failing to take my own. After the seventh revision, I thought it was about time that I let go. Let go of the perfect list. And instead, give my most real and honest interpretation of […]
Glowing skin: The Korean 7 skin method
One of my favourite things about Korean skincare is the post-facial (minus the facial) glow you can achieve with K-beauty products and methods. The 7 skin method is no exception. It has a simple concept – layer a toner or an essence onto your skin 7 times. This intense hydration gives way to a plump, […]
Is it true that exercise improves your sleep?
Whenever I had a reason not to exercise (injured wrist, holidays, exams), I found myself getting sleepier during the day. It took me a while to realise the correlation between pumping iron and my energy levels. I can just hear myself now – “How can I be so tired? I’ve done nothing all day…”. Turns […]

My top 5 favourite podcasts right now
Something I’ve been doing a lot lately is listening to podcasts. On the bus, tube; anywhere that gives me the opportunity to blank out the rest of the world. If you read this post, you’d know that my 2021 New Year’s resolution was to read 1 book a month. Last year, I went digital, and […]
The best Japanese acne spot treatment
After hearing a glowing recommendation about the Lion Pair Acne Cream over on Tina Tanaka Harris’ YouTube channel, I felt extremely compelled to buy. This review comes after almost finishing my second tube. Safe to say, I absolutely love this stuff. If you haven’t already, be sure to try the best Japanese acne spot treatment […]
Learn how to meditate
A ‘you should really start thinking about meditating’ part two (part one). At the beginning of this year, I read a book called Buddhism for Busy People. The author, David Michie, talks about 4 meditation techniques you can try to start you off. I still use Insight Timer, to be fair, but you might find […]
Romantic relationships in the 21st century
This year I discovered what a situationship is. From the outside looking in, it’s easy to say – “if we’re not exclusive after 4 months, I’m walking away”. But in reality, that’s easier said than done. You grow used to the way it feels sleeping next to them, the way their hair falls over their […]
