Today was one of those cute solo dates but in reality, my main goal was to get a few gifts for my family. I wore this adorable blouse (veryyy bella hadid coded), beige pants, little kitten heels, I left my hair straight, and sprayed some Burberry Goddess (it literally smells so good ,so divine , For makeup I went for a no makeup look no mascara at all just blush, lip liner and gloss. That’s it.
The first place I ran to as soon as I got there was my fave bakery and it just reopened after 3 months!! I was sooo happy .I grabbed a warm pain au chocolat and was planning to eat it at the park, but plot twist: the park was closed for work. So I ended up eating it while walking
Then came gift shopping. I’m that person who doesn’t just buy random stuff I want every gift to be gorgeous and useful. I was sooo lost at first just standing there trying to figure out what to get but finally filled a cute box with a few lovely gifts and left the store happy.
I had this huge craving for a gelato because it was sooo hot, but I was like… if I eat it outside, it’s gonna melt and I’ll look like a toddler with ice cream everywhere lol.
Still, I couldn’t resist later actually I’m writing this at 12AM while eating a lemon gelato hehe. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with discovering new gelato flavors. my favs :
Blackcurrant & Blueberry
Coconut & Blueberry
Praline
Pistachio
Lemon
Bounty
The best part? I always write the flavors down in my Notes app with mini reviews. I give them scores, decide if I’d get them again, sometimes even pair them in my mind with perfume notes because yes, weirdly, many of my favorite scents include the exact ingredients I enjoy eating. Coconut in gelato and in my body wash? Not a coincidence. Blackcurrant too .Everything is linked.
Let’s talk June.
June wasn’t about routines or productivity for me. It was about flow. Energy. Creation. I don’t know why, but something inside me clicked at the end of May. I woke up one day and thought: I want to write my own ebook.I launched my online store in june.
And people actually loved what I created. This was a dream and now it’s real.
I’ve had little sad moments tooo , but what mattered more was the growth. The way I started seeing rejection not as an ending, but as redirection.
When I want to do something I just do it. That’s how I launched my blog She Glows back in April 2022.
The same day I got the idea I wrote the first post about becoming a morning person. It reached 1K views which was crazy at the time.
Later I started my Substack. Then YouTube and now I want to create a short film.
Yes You read that right.I want to write and produce a movie . This idea didn’t come to me while working or planning. It came when I was just resting
