1. PERSONAL THOUGHTS : LIFE AFTER GRADUATING COLLEGE
I took my time to be as raw and honest about life after college – realizing that the pieces of the puzzle don’t necessarily all fall into place for you after getting that diploma was a hard transition for me. But I’ve come to realize that it’s okay to not be okay. It takes time to find a career and having life figured out is a hefty goal for a 22 year old.
2. 23 THINGS I’VE LEARNED AT 23
I compiled a list of all the good and the bad things I learned in my 23 years of life to ring in my new age! I never expected my life to be at this specific state at 23, but I sure did learn a lot of lessons along the way.
3. STOP ASKING “WHERE ARE YOU REALLY FROM”
As an Asian-American, it has been extremely difficult for me hear this question asked all the time. It not only confuses me because I see this place as my home and country, but also offended that just because of my looks, someone can readily judge where I belong in society. Delivery of words and questions matter, and I hope this article can be a reminder to be more cautious of how we interact with others who may be different than us.
4. SUCCESS CAN’T BE TOLD THROUGH NUMBERS
I had my head wrapped up in the numbers game for so long along with so many others that I took a step back to reevaluate. Numbers cannot evaluate our worth. Our worth determinant is more than one factor and we cannot let the numbers in our life define us!

7. BEST PARTS OF LIVING IN NYC
One of my first posts on NYC and you guys LOVED it! I am so happy because while NYC gets a lot of bad rep about daily life here, I am in love with it and hoping that I get to stay here for as long as I can. There is always magic in the air, the motivational people that are constantly surrounding us and the creativeness that floats throughout all manifests into a force of drive for me. It’s the best place to live in the world…in my totally bias opinion!
8. 10 THINGS TO DO IN NYC
A simple guide that was very well received! So many people visit NYC each year and there is an endless list of things to do! I hope this was helpful to all of you that visited or even NYC locals that are looking for something new to spark up your weekend.
9. OCTOBER BULLET JOURNAL SPREAD 2019
One of my favorite bullet journal spreads of this year and easily one of your’s too! I took a 2-3 month hiatus from bullet journaling with all that was happening in my life so when October came, I was more than ready to release my creative tensions. My favorite has been the bucket lists feature, which I continued with into November.
10. CLEANSERS 101 | WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CLEANSING YOUR FACE
Hands down one of my most time-consuming posts to put together, but the amazing responses make all the efforts put into this post all worth it.

As the first and one of the most important steps in everyone’ skincare routine, finding the right cleanser as well as the application can impact the outcome of your skin!
