BetterHelp Online Therapy Review // I Tried Online Counseling
For years, I went to therapy every week and I gained so much from it—but I never thought I’d try online therapy until recently.

My Past Experience With Counseling and Therapy Like I mentioned, I did therapy in the past for years.

My Everyday Makeup Routine // Awkward Girl Does Her Makeup
After getting a few requests over the years, I finally decided to film a video on my everyday makeup routine. This makeup routine is what I’ve been doing almost every day for 5+ years now. Once I discovered how to do a wing…it was all over for me. Almost everything in the video is from the drugstore except the Jeffree Star highlighter, which was worth every penny. I literally had no idea how much L’Oreal makeup until I filmed this video. I’m not sponsored, but some of the links below are affiliate links on Amazon. I’ll list everything below… Concealer: L’Oreal Paris Cosmetics Infallible Pro Glow Concealer (this is what…
What is self care, and why is it important?
What is self care and why is it important? The topic of self care comes up everywhere these days—and…you might have noticed the self care checklist included on my site 😉 But, I have to admit that while the concept seems simple enough, I’m still exploring and learning about self care and what it mean for me in my life. The idea of caring for oneself might sound indulgent or “fluffy”, but I assure you that based on my own practice and doing a lot of research, its actually crucial for your health.

Kawaii Squishies // Squishy Unboxing Review
This week, I did something very silly…. I ordered a crap-ton of kawaii squishes from Amazon and reviewed them. #whatismylife I’m not sure if you’ve ever experienced these before, but if you haven’t, you’re truly missing out. I know these are still popular, but when they first started trending two years ago…I didn’t get it. Then recently, they started appearing at my local drugstore and I couldn’t help myself. So, I bought one, fell in LOVE, and went to Amazon to try a ton more. And… I’m hooked. If you liked this video, definitely go to YouTube and comment so I know! If you hated it…let me know that too.

How to Rebuild Self-Esteem After Breakup When Someone Cheats on You
If your boyfriend cheated on you: first of all, I’m sorry. I’ve been cheated on before and it sucks. And that’s why I want to write this post… and hopefully help others rebuild self-esteem after breakup. When I was 14, my dad cheated on my mom, and then my first boyfriend ever cheated on me. Between those two experiences I had a pretty sorry impression of myself AND men. I grew up assuming all men cheated, and I lived my life in fear of being abandoned in every relationship I was in for a long time. As you can imagine…this thinking didn’t result in a ton of awesome relationships. Many…
How to Build More Self Confidence // 5 Tips For Anyone
It’s easy to live my life comparing myself to other people, which is why, for me, learning how to build self confidence was extremely helpful. Building self confidence has been a component of learning and practicing self-care, which is still pretty new for me. “Her thighs are thinner than mine.” “I’m not as smart as him.” “I’m not as talented as her.” “People don’t like me as much as they like…” When I don’t consciously STOP and think, my mind can get flooded by insecure thoughts and fears. But I’ve realized, especially recently, that I have a lot to have self confidence about and to feel self worth for. I’m…

Same Outfit for 21 Days // Minimalist Capsule Wardrobe
For 21 days, I wore the same outfit to work *every single day*, and for 3 weeks after that I expanded a bit and added a few other items with a very narrow, minimalist capsule wardrobe theme. My original plan was to do this for 7 days as a semi-prank to see if anyone noticed… But no one did 🙂 And then I kept going because I realized I really enjoyed it, and I think this experiment really helped me to narrow down what my preferred style is.
