    The Fragrances I Can’t Stop Wearing Lately

    Fragrance has become such a fun way for me to express how I feel on a given day — kind of like an invisible accessory that sets the mood. Lately, I’ve been completely obsessed with Glossier You and Jo Malone’s Nectarine Blossom & Honey. They’re both totally different, but somehow still fit my vibe perfectly. One is soft, skin-like, and warm, while the other is juicy, floral, and playful — I love switching them out depending on how I want to feel that day.

    Glossier You is my go-to for everyday wear. It runs for about $78 for 50mL. It’s subtle but cozy, like the scent version of a favorite hoodie or a hug from someone you love. It feels clean, warm, and super personal — I get why everyone says it smells different on everyone. With this scent, I usually get stopped more often by someone asking what scent I am wearing.

    When I want something a little brighter or sweeter, I reach for Nectarine Blossom & Honey by Jo Malone. This scent is on the more pricy side costing me $88 for the 1oz size. Its definitely one to pick up when a sale comes around. It smells like freshly squeezed juice in a bottle — sweet, floral, and a little fruity without being too much. I love how it makes me feel fresh and clean smelling, especially on spring days or when I’m out and about! Both of these scents feel like “me,” just in different moods.

  • The Cutest Bag That Actually Fits Everything: My BAGGU Review

    The Cutest Bag That Actually Fits Everything: My BAGGU Review

    I recently picked up the Baggu Medium Nylon Crescent Bag in black, and I can confidently say it’s become my new everyday essential. I’d been eyeing it for a while after seeing it all over TikTok — especially the “cool girl on the go” look — and I finally made the jump to purchase it. It’s sleek, lightweight, and fits so much more than you’d expect. I decided to go with the black color as it goes with literally everything, so I never have to think twice before grabbing it on my way out the door. Additionally, the bag cost me $52. The price of the bag is reasonable, with the added perk of more storage and its washability compared to other bags.

    What I love most is how comfortable it is to wear. The adjustable strap lets me wear it either as a crossbody or snug on the shoulder, and the interior pockets are perfect for staying organized without needing a purse organizer. It fits my wallet, keys, lip products, hand lotion, a snack, and even a water bottle — no joke. If you’re looking for a bag that’s practical, minimal, and effortlessly stylish, the Baggu Crescent is 100% worth it!
