5 Reasons Why Period Underwear Is A Game Changer

I haven’t used a sanitary pad in almost two years. In fact, I am never going back to them. I was introduced to the concept of period underwear in September 2019. I’d heard of menstrual cups but was not sold on the idea – nothing against menstrual cups, this is just personal preference. However, I […]

It has been 16 months since Malaysia imposed its first lockdown on 16th March 2020.

Why “Follow Your Passion” Is Bad Career Advice (And So Is “Follow The Money”)

As an older millennial living in Asia, I grew up with two conflicting pieces of advice regarding my career path. My parents and family wanted me to pick careers that would ‘guarantee’ a good income, such as a doctor, lawyer, accountant, dentist, well you get the drift.

Social Media Isn’t Real: How To Save Your Self-Esteem

Repeat after me: social media isn’t real. As a social media user, be it YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok, I’m well-aware that pictures and videos I see there are filtered, altered, and edited.

How I Embraced My Summer Body, Rolls And All

I never liked the way my body looked in a swimsuit. In my teens, I also did not like crop tops, tank tops, spaghetti straps, shorts, bodycon dresses, jeans, and well, you get the picture.  People in countries with four seasons talk about having a “summer body”.

Why You Should Watch Netflix’s The Way of the Househusband Despite Lacklustre Reviews

When Netflix released the anime The Way of the Househusband (TWotH) on 8th April 2021, a slew of disappointed reviews soon followed. Some of them made valid points as to why the anime series did not live up to expectations. I, however, have a differing opinion. TWotH follows the adventures of the heavily tattooed and […]

6 Things I Wish I Knew Before Doing Eyebrow Microblading

When I had my eyebrow microblading session and saw the results, the first thing I wish I knew before I did it was that I should have done it sooner.
