Last Updated on May 31, 2025 by Summer birthday gifts were just on my mind since it was my best friend’s birthday last week. We’ve known each other since high school, so I wanted to pick something that felt as special and timeless as our friendship. Giving someone a gift is more than just a material good; it’s a tangible item to let someone know you were thinking of them.

To me, self-care Sunday isn’t just a relaxing ritual — it’s a necessary reset that sets the tone for a positive, intentional week ahead. For years, I spent my weekends playing catch-up on work, taking advantage of the rare quiet moments without emails, calls, or meetings. It became my focused time to get in the zone.

Admittedly, this is my first time creating a summer bucket list. Inspired by my goal to live more intentionally this year, I’m shifting from waiting for happy moments to just appear and, instead, making room for them on purpose. Summer is such a special season because the warm weather and longer days invite freedom, connection, and fun.

This post is a review on the Strathberry East West Bag. As I’m sitting at a café writing this post, my tried-and-true Strathberry East West Bag is right next to my laptop. Over the past four years, I’ve gotten four color variations of this same style in the mini version.

I have always been a color person. The brighter the shades, the better, was pretty much my motto for years. But recently, I’ve been drawn to lighter, more delicate hues. One of them is none other than butter yellow. Although mocha mousse is officially the Pantone 2025 Color of the Year, butter yellow is getting just as much attention, especially for summer. The creamy pale yellow shade feels warm and inviting. It’s not overly bold but still has that eye-catching element.

With so many new social media platforms popping up, it can be tough to keep track and figure out which ones are actually worth our time and attention. When I learned about ORME, a relatively new social commerce app that emphasizes on shopping with the ability to monetize, I became interested in exploring it further. Plus, it has many other benefits (more on those in a sec!). ORME is a short form video marketplace that’s like a combo of TikTok and LTK.

Afternoon tea has become one of my absolute favorite things to do in New York City. As a longtime local, I’ve spent years finding the best spots in Manhattan to enjoy green tea and fresh scones. There’s something so luxurious about slowing down and having a warm cup of tea, little sandwiches, and sweet treats with good company. While I love brunch, afternoon tea is a whole different feeling. Think peaceful decor, calm music, and porcelain tableware.

Spring nails serve as a refreshing reminder to embrace the warmer season. After a long winter here in New York, nothing compares to the vibrant sight of orange tulips blooming on Park Avenue or the feeling of swapping my puffer coat for a light quilted jacket. This season, nail designs are taking on a modern twist with pastel colors, chrome finishes, fruit-inspired nail art, and more.
