Giving a L


Aside from Valentine's being just another thing used to rob us of our cash and doing something special for our significant other (though you don't need a special occasion as reason to do that), I like to propose a different angle, especially for those who aren't in a relationship. Take this time to be your own special someone. Or to show some love to those in your life like your parents, best friends or anyone special to you outside of romantic means. Valentine's day should not be the reminder that you are or are not dating someone, it should remind you that you have someone in your life who have taught you how to love. Reflect from a love lost in hopes you do better for the ones you still have now. For all the memories and hard lessons. The cradling arms that collected your tears and the joke in the air that gifted you another chance to laugh. Whoever that is, be it others or yourself, take time aside to be kind to them because in a world that is advancing too fast for humanity to catch up, it can be the hardest thing to remember to do. Take up that call, order pizza for yourself or go belt out songs with friends. Give out love like Oprah does to her audience and be generous about it. Now before this gets any cheesier, here is a playlist of poems and songs that I curated in hopes it helps start off Valentines right for you. Thanks again to Dharsh and Joshua for giving me the chance to do a couple shoot. I had a blast and I hope you guys love these edits as much as we do.Till next time guys!

Updates + Big Announcement

I thought I start off how dormant this blog has been with a good ol' update post. Cause there's nothing like going back in the blogger grind than just telling y'all what's been up since the last one. It's been a year since that post so ya girl has went through a whole LOT. I am now finally in my first year of degree, I got into the high committee for my DJ Club, I've been more creative with editing photos (check it out on the gram @twistlist ) and moved to a better apartment where I can finally COOK along with dope housemates. Through all the stress and never ending work I got from school, life honestly has been really good to me and I'm just grateful to be where I am. Won't lie though; I had my dips this past year with adulting, getting things together and balancing it all. Self deprecation is a habit I am trying to curb and not do as often since its sort of my coping mechanism to stress. We are not about that this year, not anymore. I'...

Haul+Review: Beauty Edition III

BIORE UV AQUA RICH SUNSCREEN I always enter the sunscreen section of drugstore with some concerns. Its just tough when you're oily in one area and not really in others while trying to get a sunscreen that accommodates those two in one face. While being such a integral part of skincare, it is also sometimes the least thoroughly thought of product unless you were off on some tropical getaway. You might think that SPF found in your bb cream to be a great add on but it doesn't mean you can depend exclusively to it as your sun protection even if you use it daily. It just won't stand up to a regular sunscreen. However Biore seem to have a range of sunscreens to cater to what you're looking for so I bought this one. I don't have the original packaging but I do remember that it promises a semi matte finish and no lingering white cast. Which I'm happy to report that it isn't causing me breakouts or leaving me looking like a ghost. It also seem to be well aft...

Spotlight: Beauty Edition

I am back home and having spent almost 3 weeks blissfully chilling and eating, I thought I share some beauty products that I've been loving recently. For cleanser , I really do enjoy this one for removing my make up. I won't say its something you can count on to take a completely BEAT face off but if you typically don on light makeup (me on the daily), this does the job. I really wanted to try be environment friendly by avoiding make up wipes as much as I can and I can't use cleansing oils because I have no hot water back in the hostel to really get that off. Hence, I gave this a go and its a bliss to massage into the face. I've been trying this thing I read from W Magazine that's a Japanese technique to cleanse as well as rinse for a couple minutes each to really clean out your face with gentle cleansers. So this product was perfect to also implement that and easy to rinse out as well. When I wanted to be more gentle to my skin, I worried that product...
