book: ..... i uh... only read 3 books in december and its the series This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi so i guess thats my fav HAHA
skincare product: i've been really enjoying using the BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask. you apply all of your skincare then sleep with this facemask on. its a little sticky tho until it dries
body care: bc of my allergies, ive had to find safe things to use and just want to shoutout my new shampoo - Yuzu and Pomelo Glossing Shampoo by 100% Pure
makeup product: the Heimish Moringa Ceramide BB Cream SPF30 PA++!!!!!!!!!!! OBSESSSSEDDDDDDD. ive been doing more light makeup in general lately and i love this + a little concealer for my scars. just makes my makeup regimen really easy
snack: you already know... the Walker Shortbread Fingers LOOOLLL
song: your blood by Aurora <3

december thoughts:
DECEMBER WAS GOOD BUT WEIRD FOR ME like i started december in korea for otv, flew home, streamed as many hours as i could, flew home for the holidays, then flew back to cali right before new years. it was all a blur honestly LOL
these blogs have made me realize that i overall feel not great about my day to day that is a little scary. like i am inclined to say oh yeah december wasnt great for x, y, and z. but i do think a lot of my general feelings stem from living in LA and my work life balance that i think is always something we are working on hahaha
i really just feel like i want to STREAM!! i have never seen my calendar so clear and it has brought me such peace of mind. john and i were comparing our calendars to earlier months and being like wtf how did we even get through this. i think its really hard for me to balance otv and my own personal work (as you guys know) but i want to make it work so badly that i keep trying and pushing!!!
i am excited for this new availability that comes with the early months of the year to just grind stream :') i have been debating truly doing the valorant content grind but.. the stream delay kills me a little.. PAIN
HONESTLY I THINK WE ARE JUST TAKING LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY
WHO CARES
DO WHAT YOU WANT
DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY
DECEMBER WAS GOOD
i think i need to start up writing in my gratitude journal bc my mind is constantly reinforcing the negatives lately which is weird? i feel WEIRD
but i simultaneously ... feel great............................. llooolll
i think i tie a lot of my feelings to success and productivity which is a TERRIBLE state to be in but im not sure how to even.. escape that? any advice?!
well, see you next month :) and sorry for not being as active this month </3

My bestie and I are on our own personal journeys to deconstruct achievement/productivity based self value. It’s hard. Even being aware of it is a huge step 🩶 What helped for me was reflecting on my accomplishments and how they made me feel. And then identifying why those feelings are important to me and exploring how non-work things can produce those same feelings. It might sound corny to do, but I’ve started a few new hobbies/activities while brainstorming how to remove work out of the equation. It also weirdly made work easier because I’m not DESPERATE for the achievement high?? I also agree with the other comments, I love the monthly highlights - they’re both inspiring and relatable. I could also probably benefit from noticing more often when I’m happy. Thanks and cheers to everyone to another year of living this life 🥂
