Summer is coming up, and with the weather changing, so do our preferences as makeup wearers.
The first time I got the chance to read Jhumpa Lahiri's writing, I was in an Introduction to Literary Studies class at college, and I had no real knowledge of how to appreciate her writing. But I picked up The Namesake two years later and thoroughly enjoyed listening to it via Libby, the Boston Public Library app. I also got a chance to read the paperback version of the book - something I rarely do when I pick up a book nowadays. I found myself drawn to The Namesake because I myself am an Indian immigrant, and the story made me wonder if by reading it I would feel more of a connection to my culture. I have lived in America for six years, and in Boston for three, so I sometimes find myself feeling like India, and Chennai, my Indian home, is a distant memory.
If you've ever wanted to go to New York, this book is for you! Filled with gorgeous descriptions, strong female characters, and an emotional plot, The Masterpiece is like its name, a literary masterpiece worth reading.
Have you ever tried to look for a gift for a loved one and gotten sucked into a black hole of gift categories?
In 2020 when quarantine hit us, the makeup lovers became fans of the glowy no makeup makeup look. Glass Skin was more popular than ever, and even before 2020, I remember looking at beauty tutorials that had tons of views, forever popularizing the Korean beauty style and wondering if I could achieve the look.
Charlotte Tilbury, Pat Mcgrath, Chanel and Tom Ford are some of the brands that come to mind when I think of high end beauty. But these brands are also ridiculously expensive, making them seem far out of reach for someone like me-a student on a budget.
