I started my blog back in 2011, where I wrote exclusively about the science behind skincare. Over the years, my love for writing a blog ebbed and flowed, but one thing stayed consistent no matter the platform: community.

This is a space dedicated to those who enjoy a short read rather than a 42-part TikTok. Not that there’s anything wrong with that; I’m partial to being entrapped by a doom scroll. But I wanted to bring back the place where I gather my thoughts without feeling the pressure of being judged or trolled.

Largely, my venture back into blogging is a selfish one. An attempt at rekindling my love for making content and for writing. It’s also about feeling that sense of community again.

I hope that this can be a site of guidance, inspiration, and alacrity for slower, more sustainable life.
