Here’s my top five beauty products I bought because of TikTok.
Her Campus Media

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC DISTORTED MY PERCEPTION OF TIME
March 13, 2020. It’s not a holiday, nor anyone’s birthday I remember each year. Instead, it was the last day of my life where the calendar date seemed to match the date in my head. Since then, my perception of time has changed — each day is a blur, constantly bleeding into one another.
WHY I STARTED A SKIN CARE ROUTINE
The term “skin care” was unfamiliar to me until a couple of years ago when I came across someone’s skin care routine while scrolling through TikTok.

LEARNING TO LEAVE MY COMFORT ZONE
I’m a person who loves all things familiar. Familiar foods, familiar places, familiar people and familiar routines. Anything outside the realm of my comfort zone often gives me great amounts of anxiety, due to the fact that I tend to lose some control in these situations.
It takes a lot of courage to leave your comfort zone and I never thought I had the courage within me to do so. What I didn’t expect was that so many opportunities would open up once I left my comfort zone.
