Skin Care & Self Care
I started my skin care journey about two years ago and I have my best skin yet at 28 years young. I used to think that skin care meant just washing your face with water or a cleanser and you're done. At the time I wasn't worried about wrinkles or pimples. I simply didn't find joy in applying a variety of products on my skin and not seeing immediate results. But, I also was not informed about the ingredients you should or should not be using and the reasons why. Take fragrance for example. It is used in nearly 50% of beauty products and without you knowing, can severely irritate your skin. Sadly, this is not something that a lot of brands advertise to their consumers. It is up to you to be as informed and educated as possible regarding what you choose to put on your skin. I will walk you through my skin care steps and each product I use, and more importantly why I recommend them. Now, I can honestly say that I find joy in doing my skin care as part of my everyday self care routine.

A Simple Tattoo Can Go A Long Way
My life has not been the worst, but most certainly not the best. A lot of my issues seem to come from the lack of self confidence, but there are some things about myself that I have not felt insecure about at all where most people would.

My Hair, My Rules
Growing up, I never had one length or style that I would keep. My mom always favoured my mid-back length, golden wavy hair, because it looked more feminine and modern in her eyes. On the contrary, my dad was not as picky about hair length or style, unless it was outrageous, inappropriate or immodest. Whether I had straight, chin length hair or wavy hair that touched the bottom of my shoulders, he didn’t care as much as my mom did. As a little girl, my mom or the nanny would always put my hair up in pigtails, half-ponytails, ponytails or I would wear it completely down if I was too lazy to put it up or if my mom wanted to do my hair for me one Sunday morning. My mom never allowed me to have bangs, because she assumed that curly-haired people wouldn’t look appealing in bangs, even though I have always been attracted to bangs on both straight-haired and curly-haired people. The odd time, I would get my hair highlighted and colored during my childhood and adolescence. My dad did not like that, but my mom did not care if my hair was a slightly colored or highlighted. There was just something about bangs that caught my eye: that they looked mature, attractive, doll-like and at the same time youthful and modest. Sometimes, I felt too young and plain without bangs, but I couldn't be free to simply ask the hairdresser to give me bangs with my mom waiting for me in the waiting area at the hair stylist's.

Hair Beyond Dead Cells
I have a lot of dumb tattoos, I've made a lot of questionable makeup decisions, and I pierced my own nose in my high school bathroom at 17. So when we talk about "body art", I feel like I'm more of an abstract piece people see in the MoMA and wince at. Like, is it high quality? No. Can you compare it to the Mona Lisa? Probably not. I can get away with it, though, because art is subjective, and hey I'll drink to that.

Unblossomed Rose
Makeup can be a powerful tool... One has the free will to express themselves, to be bold, to be confident, be unique, and stand out too extraordinary heights. But some tend to forget the true “Power of Makeup”. Take the Unblossomed Rose for example.
