Having a great skin care routine is essential for having--yes, great skin! Therefore, if you LOVE your skin care routine, you will do it every single day and that is basically the point--ensuring that it is (or becomes) a habit, so you can reap the greatest benefits from your time, dedication, and commitment. You schedule for it regularly, you're excited for and enjoy doing it, AND your skin glows. It's all just a nice feedback-looping process! Your skin will thank you and you will feel amazing as a result. It's a win-win. And who doesn't love to win twice for

Working out is about looking and feeling good according to YOU. Do NOT feel like your body has to match or conform society’s standards or Instagram models.

Loving yourself is hard. However, in order to love someone else--especially, to love them properly, you need to love yourself first. Think of a pitcher of water. It cannot pour anything into another cup if it is itself empty. Therefore, if you have no real love for yourself, you cannot give real love to other people. Otherwise, that “love” you have and will give to others is the type that seeks for something in return when real love should be selfless and genuine in nature. After experiencing a devastating heartbreak earlier this year, I realized that the source of my

The most important person who should love your body is not men, or your boyfriend, or anyone else for the matter, but YOU!

DISCLAIMER: None of the images used in this blog post belong to me unless specifically noted. As women, one of the things that matter to us is our femininity. And, personally, for me, at one point in my life, that came from the size of my boobs. As a teenager, I saw that guys were obsessed with boobs and I saw with my own eyes that girls with bigger boobs than me had more attention from them. The media also seemed to tell me that having big boobs and butt, having long lashes, plump lips, and pretty fingernails made a

We’re all humans and we’re all shaped and formed by different experiences. Hence, we will not click with everyone. And that is a key concept that you need to understand when finding the person who you will enter a romantic relationship with; it’s who is compatible and who complements you despite your different backgrounds, personalities, histories, baggage, and life experiences.

What's it like to have small boobs? In a world where big boobs are glorified, I sometimes find myself feeling a bit self-conscious with my small ones. Growing up with them, I have always compared myself to my peers, other girls, and even celebrities. Having them has given me anxiety from my mother hurling endless advice on how to grow them, to my hair dresser telling me that my dating preference might be disappointed with my size, to myself feeling not feminine enough to the point of not loving my own body. In this week's Talk with Donuts podcast, I

Do not ever go into a date trying to impress the other person. This is NOT a job interview. It’s not supposed to be! Rather, reprogram your thinking from “how do I make this person like me enough to consider me to be a potential or future boyfriend/girlfriend/partner?” TO “How can this person [your date] add to my life?”

A couple weeks ago, one of my friends sent me picture of a post she had found on Reddit. After reading it, I was a bit annoyed, so I typed the title into Google and found the post.
