Having a great skin care routine is essential for having--yes, great skin!

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.

The media also seemed to tell me that having big boobs and butt, having long lashes, plump lips, and pretty fingernails made a

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…

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

Hi guys! Welcome back to my blog! I hope you and all your loved ones are safe and sound during this global pandemic. I know it’s been awhile since I last published a post, but all for good reason because I’ve been experiencing and learning a lot about myself and dating (and I had a project I needed to turn in by May 1st). Don’t worry, I stopped dating before the pandemic started, but I was taking time to emotionally and mentally recover and get myself together before I could objectively write this post. And it’ll be a great one,
