I Never Thought I Could Write a Song. Then I Wrote Three
I grew up loving music and listening to songs. I also learned the piano. But writing one? That was for other people — those with real talent, real training.

I'm Not a Developer. I Vibe Coded an App Anyway.
I have a background in psychology and work in HR. Outside of my day job, I write a well-being blog and host workshops and coaching sessions to help people know themselves better, improve their overall well-being, and find their ideal career. I also know how to write R code — the kind used for statistical analysis and research. So I'm not someone who is completely allergic to computers. But writing R scripts and building an actual app that real people can use? Those are two co

How to Spice Up Your Wardrobe Without Buying More
We’ve all had that moment. You open your closet. You stare at rows of clothes. And somehow… everything feels boring. The usual solution? Buy something new.

And the good news? You can refresh your wardrobe — and your confidence — without adding a single new item. Why We Get Bored of O

What Does What You Wear Reveal About You? (The Psychology of Clothing and Identity)
At its most basic level, clothing is functional. It keeps us warm. It protects our bodies. It allows us to move comfortably. It helps us meet dress codes. But once those practical needs are met, clothing begins to serve deeper psychological purposes. So what does what you wear reveal about you? According to psychology, quite a lot. Your clothes can reflect: Your identity aspirations Your emotional needs Your desire for belonging Your confidence level The version of yourself y

32 Things I Learnt at 32
For the past few years, I’ve made it a tradition to write down the things I’ve learned by the time my birthday arrives.

From Shopping Shame to Shopping Joy: My Journey to Guilt-Free Fashion
Growing Up in the Shadow of Modesty When I’m complimented on what I’m wearing, I feel a spark of joy— quickly dusted with a little shame. Growing up, my parents taught me to be modest. Instead of comparing belongings or showing off, I was encouraged to focus on working hard and getting good grades. This “lay low” mindset ran deep. I felt proud that I never begged for the latest designer bag or flashy gadget like some peers. Yet this also planted a seed of shame around enjoyin
