... Read moreAuthenticity is more than just a buzzword; it's a lifestyle choice that deeply influences how we connect with others and perceive ourselves. From my experience, embracing authenticitymaxxing means allowing yourself to share your true feelings and thoughts, no matter the situation. It’s about valuing the concept that "authenticity is the aesthetic," where being genuine becomes your unique, personal style. When I started prioritizing authenticity, I noticed a shift in my confidence and relationships. Presenting myself honestly made interactions more meaningful and reduced the stress of trying to fit into others’ expectations. It’s a freeing feeling to show the world who you really are, and it encourages others to do the same, fostering deeper connections. Authenticitymaxxing also involves self-reflection and acceptance. Understanding what makes you feel genuine helps in expressing yourself consistently—whether through your words, actions, or creative outlets. In a digital age where curated images dominate social media, choosing authenticity is a powerful way to stand out and resonate with like-minded communities. Overall, embracing authenticity can improve mental well-being and personal satisfaction. If you find yourself hesitating to share your true self, remember that authenticity is an evolving journey, not a destination. The more you practice it, the more it becomes a natural and beautiful part of who you are.

Not quite what I expected…
It smelled beautiful but I was expecting it to be loud. I love gourmand scents so I definitely fell in love with it. Perfect for layering though.

Flight Ettiquite that I Believe In
People are in a constant debate about flight ettiquite, but this is my take! • ask before reclining or at least make the passenger behind you aware (they may be super tall, be disabled, or have drinks etc on their tray table that can spill • try to minimize overhead bin use to just your lugagge (

Are You an Empath or Just Sensitive? 👀
Okay.. let me start off with this.. it took me awhile (years of experience) to actually learn the difference between the two. It made it harder given that I am both an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) and a strong Empath. A lot of people throw around the word "Empath" when they are actuall

Your mid-20s are a strange inbetween. You’re not quite who you used to be, but you’re not fully who you’re becoming either. There’s pressure to have it all figured out, but the truth is most of us are just doing our best to stay afloat, grow, and survive group texts we never asked for. Here a
