kinda chic to live life 🤎

8/24 Edited to

... Read moreLiving a "kinda chic" life often means making bold, stylish choices that enrich your experiences and personal growth. Taking PTO (paid time off) isn’t just about stepping away from work; it’s about investing in yourself and creating memorable moments. Personally, I found that booking a weekend getaway to a new city brought a refreshing change and renewed my creativity. Going solo halfway around the world, while daunting at first, gave me a newfound confidence and freedom that’s hard to match. One of the most unforgettable experiences I had was waking up on top of a volcano on my birthday—a reminder that celebrating life’s milestones in extraordinary ways can be incredibly rewarding. Even simple choices, like deciding to walk 30 minutes through a charming neighborhood instead of hopping in an Uber, can add a touch of chic mindfulness to your adventures. These moments help slow us down, soak in our surroundings, and connect more deeply with our journey. Embracing travel trends that encourage authenticity and self-exploration adds to this chic lifestyle. It’s less about luxury and more about meaningful experiences that create lasting memories. Whether it’s a spontaneous PTO trip or a carefully planned solo voyage, living "kinda chic" means choosing experiences that reflect your values and inspire you to view life through a stylish, adventurous lens.

Non polished things I find incredibly chic

How I Make Clutter Look Chic ✨
The goal isn’t a spotless, empty space, it’s a lived-in home that feels warm and layered. Here’s how I make clutter look intentional (instead of messy): 1️⃣ Group in odd numbers → 3 books + a vase + a candle feels curated. 2️⃣ Mix heights + textures → stacked books, tall stems, a shiny tray.

CONTOUR: DO YOU THINK IT’S CHIC OR MESSY?
i used to think contour looked too harsh and muddy on me 😭 but then i realized… it’s all about tone, placement + blending. once i started using a cooler shade and blended upward instead of down, it made my face look lifted instead of heavy 🤎 now i can’t tell if contouring is chic and defined
