Life Lately: On changes, small wins, and celebrations
It’s my birthday month. Hooray! And time for another long overdue post. Now what have I been up to? Aside from figure skating, I had my back tattoo finally covered up! This tattoo was done during a really sad, and traumatic experience in my life and I just want it erased. Sometimes part of moving on, is taking back what’s yours and not having remnants of that memory. Miss Janessa Palaming has done a wonderful, wonderful job in doing just that. My previous back tattoo consists of ugly patches of pink and blue, with tramp stamps of God knows what symbols. Now it has been replaced with a structured galaxy,…

Review: Teviant The Ultimate Skin Master Luminous Foundation (Eggshell)
In the past few years, yes years, I’ve stopped wearing foundation all throughout and just relied on spot concealing + setting powder to have that au naturele skin look. However, I noticed that during special occasions, my skin looked dull and flat in photos.

I’ve been following Sandy from @sandysplayground on Tiktok for a while now, because she’s one of the few honest beauty influencers who’s transparent, and mostly pays for her own products. This is what I do now also, now that I’ve taken a backseat…

As a mom, this made me torn. I don’t know what’s the best decision to do. Anyway what’s done is done because we came…
