Pregnancy was already an adventure in itself so we made sure to keep our baby shower simple & stress free, as much as we possibly could, and it actually turned out to be better than we expected.

We can’t control the pregnancy symptoms we get nor how our body changes during pregnancy, but there are a few things in our control. These are the top 11 things that I reached for the most throughout my pregnancy that may help you feel a little more comfortable and make pregnancy a little easier.

To all the mamas who are surviving pregnancy too.

Things I’ve learned so far in my pregnancy, which includes establishing stronger boundaries and not feeling bad for it!

Gender disappointment is a real thing and you shouldn’t feel guilty about it. Here are some tips to help you navigate it.

Baby Sole coming in April 2024!

In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, we hosted an AAPI Fundraiser Hike at Griffith Park on May 29th with Kong Fit Club and raised $1,000 for Compassion in SGV.

It’s been a little over a month since KSOLE popped the question and it’s already been a whirlwind of emotions, as we start planning for our elopement, tea ceremony, and party. Yes, three separate events, happening at three separate times! But more on all the planning and events later. Let’s share the engagement story…

Around this time last year, I found myself becoming obsessed with roller skating, thanks to Instagram. I hunted down my first pair of skates and was skating 4x a week for 3 months straight. In less than 3 months, I managed to buy 5 pairs of skates and 6 sets of wheels, but after 6 months I found myself learning some of the hardest lessons in my life. Skating is one of my many passions and while it brings me joy, it also humbled me tremendously too.

I used to dread getting up in the morning, especially because I’m NOT a morning person, but with this morning routine, you can find me up before 10 AM now. Trust me, that’s a big difference to what I was waking up at before (hah).

This is what a community looks like! On May 15, 2021, I and 8 other creatives hosted an Asian American and Pacific Islander Solidarity Skate Event in Covina, CA. All wheels were welcomed and over 100 attendees showed up in support of AAPI Heritage Month. Together, we raised over $1,200 for 3 AAPI charities: AAPI Women Lead, AAPI Women Alliance, and Asian Mental Health Collective.

Ending 2020 with an official resignation from grad school. I tried it, found out it wasn’t for me, and that’s okay because life is all about figuring out who you are, what you truly are passionate about, and finding out how you want to spend your time.

To continue my support of #AmplifyMelantedVoices, created by @BlackandEmbodied and @JessicaWilson.MSRD, I’m sharing 65 Black creatives (to follow on Instagram). I wanted to ensure that I have a permanent place for this list, as Instagram posts can get lost and buried.

KSOLE and I recently moved in together, yes for the first time! Despite being together for over 7 years (hah). We actually never felt like the timing was right and I know what you’re thinking, “the timing is never right” and yes, you are correct because we moved in on April 1st — in the middle of this whole pandemic and boy, was that fun (*insert sarcastic face).

If your mind is already spinning and you are feeling a little guilty for not fully reading through contracts in the past as well as you maybe should have, don’t worry. In this blog, I’m breaking down 3 key parts of a contract to pay attention to and what they mean.

It’s no surprise that CES is one of the most anticipated events every year, as brands from all around the world show up to show off their latest innovative concepts. I had the pleasure of attending my first ever CES with Dell this year and while I knew it was going to be a good time, I didn’t expect to have also learned some key life lessons along the way.

If you’re someone who is always online (like me), whether it’s for work or leisure, then you know that safety is a priority. From streaming videos to purchasing those holiday gifts this season, Google wants to ensure that you’re safe online with tips and products that 100% free.

One of the things you don’t realize about adulthood is that credit is quite powerful, especially when you’re not well off. Having good credit, or even great credit, for that matter, not only represents your ability to purchase but marks you off as a “trustworthy and responsible adult” to lenders. Lenders that you may call upon for slight assistance when purchasing that new car or future home.

Let me make this clear before anyone jumps to conclusions from the headline. No, I’m not engaged, married, or pregnant. I am also not launching a clothing or beauty brand — and nope, I’m not selling my presets!

I often get asked what books I recommend and while I’m not a huge reader, I am trying to read at least one book a month this year. I figured it’s best to have all the books I’ve read lately and/or love in one place so please find my recommendations below.
