A Little Life Update

Hey everyone! I've been thinking, it's about time I did a life update or catch-up post on the blog. I said I was back, then disappeared again—I'm sorry about that. Sometimes, I feel like I shouldn't apologize since blogging is just my favorite pastime. But you know what? I really miss writing. Like, a lot. Anyway, I might just fill you in on what's been happening in my life.

Goodbye semester 4! You’ll not be missed

I made it through another semester, guys! Time to give myself a pat on the back. It's been tough—I lost weight, money, and some close friends who used to mean the world to me. But hey, let's not dwell on that. I did okay, or at least I think so. Here's hoping everything goes smoothly for my final year at uni! I'm ready for whatever comes next.

I have a part-time job

I'm so glad! Honestly, I try not to expect much because it stresses me out. But surprise! I've landed a part-time job. With all this free time on my hands, why not give it a shot?

Focusing more on my skincare

My skin's acting up again. I'm done with makeup—I mean, why bother? Skincare's always been my priority, but now it's like, super duper important. I'm even watching what I eat. Any suggestions for good products to tackle these acne and scars?

My favorite month is here!

I totally love my birthday month, November! It's always been my favorite because that's when I was born. I used to get so excited every year, but as I've gotten older, that excitement has faded a bit. Anyone else feel that way? Maybe it's just me! The idea of aging and facing more responsibilities can be a bit daunting, though. Gives me chills just thinking about it! But hey, I'll be okay, right?

Minimalize things and save up

You know what? It's totally fine to say "no" sometimes to those "let's buy new makeup today!" or "let's hit up that hipster cafe again!" or "there's a sale, let's go shopping!"

For nearly three years, living somewhere I can't really call home, I've picked up so much.

It's hard to explain, but I hope you get what I mean. I'm all about keeping things minimal now, from my daily outfits to what I use. I only use what I already have and try not to buy unless I really need to. I've found that simplifying can save a lot. Maybe I'm not totally right, but I'm already seeing small savings. So, learning to say "no" is key.

I hope everyone is enjoying their November so far!
