Lifestyling with Meems

time for hot girl summer, beauty-edition! (skincare, makeup and fragrances)

i'm a big skincare girlie, down to the research and formulation side of it, so i have tried quite a few products from drugstore to high-end and these are some of my favs (includes asian beauty products as well) to recommend. between my sisters and i, we range from dry and combination to sensitive skin so if you fall under that category, you are in the right place! [Note: always patch-test, skin products vary in terms of its results and reactions so please be careful].

If you are a low-maintenance, natural look person, then i've some personal fav recommendations! these are extra suitable for brown skin tones, specifically from light medium to tan.

this spring, we are coming into our romantic, cottage core era and so here is a spring capsule wardrobe following that romantic aesthetic.

soft girl aesthetic / danish pastel home / colourful interior design / bright, vibrant home - whatever you want to call it - it's pretty, happy and is def an instant serotonin boost. step out of neutral minimalism into colours, it's lovely over here!
