Things worth sharing

A running, curated list, not a catalogue. Everything here earns its place because I use it. Some links may eventually be affiliate links; I'll always say so plainly when they are. The things I'm still hoping for live on the wishlist.

New obsession · not a holy grail yet

Rare Beauty Bouncy Blush

Shu Uemura Unlimited Care Tsuya Serum Foundation

The best medium-to-light coverage foundation I've ever used. Grab it duty-free at Kansai Airport if you're ever there. It runs about 25% cheaper than buying it elsewhere. Sephora works fine otherwise.

Fino Hair Oil (Premium Touch)

Has to be the Premium Touch version. Nothing else. The lightest hair oil I've found.

Buy Yourself the Damn Flowers, by Tam Kaur

Not a business book. A self-love one. The one I come back to whenever I need reminding that growth and healing aren't the same as having it all figured out.
