Today's post is a little bit different, but it's something that's been on my mind a lot lately. Something I've been talking about a lot with my therapist is how I learned from a young age to suppress who I really was -- the things I liked to do; my sense of humor; my opinions…

Thankfuly, the famed 10-step Korean skincare routine isn't actually meant to be 10 steps every night. It's most important to understand what each step does and how…
