... Read moreOver the past few months, I've made it a habit to keep track of every skincare and beauty product I finish. Sharing recent empties has become my go-to way of offering detailed, in-depth reviews for anyone considering these items. What I love about an empties roundup is that it shows you products I’ve used long enough to form a clear opinion on whether they deliver results or just take up space. When I say in-depth, I really mean it—I dive into the texture, scent, effectiveness, packaging, and overall experience. For example, some moisturizers might feel luxurious but won’t justify repurchase if they cause breakouts or don’t suit my skin type. Conversely, a simple cleanser that’s gentle yet efficient becomes a holy grail. By sharing my empties, I aim to save you from wasting money on products that don’t live up to their hype, while highlighting gems that deserve a spot in your skincare routine. I’ve found this approach gives a genuine perspective compared to quick first impressions or sponsored reviews. If you’re curious about specific product categories or ingredients, feel free to ask! I’m always happy to provide a personal take based on consistent use rather than rushed decisions. Trust me, there’s something deeply satisfying about finishing a product and knowing exactly how it worked for you. In short, my empties bring transparency and helpful guidance to your skincare journey—because informed choices lead to healthier, happier skin.

I don’t journal every day, or even every week. I often go through spurts. My creative outlets seem to cycle. And recently I’ve picked up photography again too. Which might be a really cool thing to also include in my journaling. 💜 #junkjournalinspiration #junkjournal #junkjournaling

Recent Worship Songs I’ve listened to
Something I have realized is that the music I listen to really effects my mental health. Music puts me in certain moods and plays a role in how I feel about so much- myself, choices, how I treat others etc. listening to worship music really helps clean out a lot of junk that can run through my mind
