A Crisp Fall Memory That Started It All On a crisp autumn evening in 2024 the air carried a hint of cinnamon and the feeling of possibility. I was rummaging through my makeup drawer, looking for something to make me feel… well, more. My fingers brushed against a sleek black compact Huda Beauty’s Rose Quartz Eyeshadow Palette. I remember the moment I bought it, standing in a bustling Sephora in New York, the lights too bright, my heart racing with the thrill of something new. I wasn’t just buying makeup; I was chasing a feeling. That’s what Huda Beauty does…
A Parisian Morning with YSL Pumps I remember that crisp autumn morning in 2024, the kind where the leaves were just starting to turn gold in Paris, and I wandered into a little boutique off the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. It was one of those impulsive moments, you know, when you’re feeling a bit lost after a long trip, and your feet ache from too much walking in sensible flats. On a velvet pedestal rested a pair of black YSL pumps sleek & understated with their signature pointed toe that seemed to whisper promises of elegance I wasn’t sure I…
The Brooklyn Spark That Started It All I can still feel that sticky summer of 2019 in Brooklyn, where trendy urban fashion first grabbed me by the soul. I was wandering, aimless after college, wearing a stiff button-up that clung to my skin in all the wrong ways. Then I saw him a guy striding past in baggy streetwear men shorts, a loose graphic tee, and sneakers that seemed to carry the city’s pulse. He wasn’t trying to impress; he just was. I stood there, sweat pooling, thinking, “Why am I stuck in this? Why not move like that?” Maybe…
A Song That Stopped Me in My Tracks I still remember the night I first heard Megan Moroney’s voice. It was one of those moments where time slows down, and the world feels like it’s just you and the music. I was scrolling through a playlist, heart heavy with thoughts I couldn’t quite name, when “Tennessee Orange” came through my speakers. Her voice raw, honest, like a friend confessing a secret stopped me cold. There was something about Megan Moroney, something that felt like she was singing my own story back to me. I’ve been thinking about her a lot…
Introduction: I remember the first time I saw a man with a sleeve tattoo. It was a cold winter in 2019, in a dimly lit coffee shop with mismatched chairs and the faint smell of roasted beans. He walked in, jacket slung over one shoulder, revealing a full arm of ink lions roaring through a tangle of roses, their manes blending into shadows that seemed to move with him. I couldn’t stop staring. There was something alive about it, something that made me wonder about his story, his pain, his triumphs. Maybe that’s why tattoos grip us so tightly they’re…
A Memory That Started It All I remember that crisp autumn morning in 2021, the kind where the leaves crunched underfoot like whispers from the past, and I sat in the dentist’s chair, heart pounding a little too fast. It was supposed to be a routine check-up, but the X-rays revealed something else my wisdom teeth, impacted and stubborn, were crowding in like uninvited guests who wouldn’t leave. The dentist leaned back, her voice calm but firm, explaining how they might shift things, cause pain down the line. I nodded, but inside, my mind spiraled to a question I’d heard…
A Foggy Morning and a Need for Renewal I remember that crisp morning in the fall of 2021, the kind where the La Jolla fog clings to everything like an old friend who’s not quite ready to let go. I’d been feeling a little lost, you know? My hair, once my pride and joy, had turned into this frizzy mess from too many beach days and not enough care. I was wandering down Villa La Jolla Drive, coffee in hand, thinking about how everything in life needs a little reset sometimes. That’s when I came across Young Attitudes Aveda Hair…
A Rainy Day and a Spark of Inspiration I can still smell the coffee from that rainy afternoon in the fall of 2019, the kitchen table cluttered with wrapping paper scraps and half-filled bags. My nephew’s fifth birthday was coming up, and my sister, with that twinkle in her eye, suggested we ditch the usual plastic party favors for something special custom goody bags, maybe, that felt personal, not like the throwaway trinkets I’d tossed out after past parties. I paused, stirring my mug, thinking about how those flimsy toys always ended up forgotten. “Why not?” I mumbled, half to…
