I’ve been itching to get more lifestyle content out! Yes, fashion and beauty are all always a bop, but I’d like to think my personal life is pretty interesting as well. For me, the tough part is simply finding that ideal balance between “sampling” and “oversharing”. Nevertheless, here’s a quick glimpse into one of my […]
I’m obsessed with niche fragrances. Yep. Obsessed. I’ve developed a passion for discovering olfactory notes that pique with my body chemistry. And, I simply cannot get enough! Over the past year, my niche fragrance wish list has tripled. Although my current perfume collection is quite impressive, I’m on a path of editing my signature scents […]
