I never thought there’d be a day when I’d think being kind has a downside, let alone write about it. But my experience over the past few months has proved to me that you have to balance your kindness with wisdom in this world; otherwise, you’ll regret it. I mean, we grew up learning that … Read more
Whenever I hear “fake it till you make it,” I roll my eyes so hard. If you are self-critical and expect so much from yourself like me, then the word “fake” will not sit well with you, no matter how empowering it sounds. Everyone is probably already faking it anyway in this age of social … Read more
Nobody likes being vulnerable. No one. We live in a dog-eat-dog world, survival of the fittest, where the weak get eaten alive and the soft get taken advantage of. So we build walls and wear armor until one day we realize we’ve been so busy being strong that we forgot how to be human, and … Read more

In fact, I’ve decided to take my personal branding seriously by doing lifestyle vlogs, OOTD (outfit of the day) videos, and the GRWM (get ready with me) ones. They’re so fun! I love watching GRWM videos because I look forward to seeing … Read more

I used to think that if you’re pretty, then you’re automatically attractive. Oh well, I was wrong.
