I’m turning 45 in December. I no longer have the time or patience for a 10-step skincare routine. I’ve found what works well for me, and I’ve stuck to it for the past year. And my skin still looks pretty good for my age — very minimal fine lines and the occasional breakout. The biggest thing […]
Carolina Herrera has released a new foundation: the Nude Couture Triple Moisture Serum Foundation, and it just might be my HG base product. In other words, if I could design my own foundation — light to medium buildable coverage, glowy finish, lightweight, no scent, long-lasting — this would be it. The Carolina Herrera foundation comes […]
In the past, I used to be more comfortable with my bare face but after I hit my late 30s (I’m currently 42), I found myself reaching for face makeup more often. As such, I have tried tons of foundations — in various finishes, coverage, and price points. And while I recommended only one in […]
I know you’re probably getting inundated with recommendations for the Sephora sale, but I thought I would throw in my two cents here because I have some stuff that I have not seen on many other people’s lists.

There are three devices I have been rotating regularly, and they are: the NuFACE Trinity (with Eye and Lip Enhancer attachment), the Light Salon Boost LED Face Mask, and the Medicube Age-R Ussera Deep Shot. The NuFACE Trinity is the […]
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve pared down my skincare routine greatly. Gone are the days of the 10-step routine. Time is too precious. Simple, effective products are key. Although I don’t use TikTok (I’m too old 😝), I do read about the big trends and I discovered skin cycling last year. Basically, the concept is: […]
I’m happy to say that right now, at the age of 36, my skin is still clear of any lines or wrinkles. A friend paid me a great compliment the other day by exclaiming I had to have gotten Botox or fillers (I haven’t). 😳 I know that I should credit some of this to […]
I’ve been keeping myself plenty busy these days with the start of my own business. Who’d have thunk it? Me, a co-founder to a successful company? And last week, we officially opened our doors. Jini Beauty. Korean beauty that is curated by us, and coveted by you. Personalized subscription boxes for each skin type. You […]

Remember when I imagined curating my own Asian beauty box? Well, that dream has become a reality! Shortly after publishing that post, my friend Sunny reached out to me with a proposal: why not form a Korean beauty subscription box service? At first, I wanted to laugh. This had to be a joke, right? But the more […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
