12 January. I am traumatized by life.
Did I crossed the line?
I listened to three audiobooks this month, which is two more than I usually do. I also read academic books, articles and more, as well as blogs, stories and news online. This has brought a lot of amazing ideas and concepts to my mind and inspired me to write and blog more. It has also made me feel anxious, but the latter is more due to the current state of the world. It's been a January, you know.

Today is my birthday 🍰✨
A late request for jizzbian on Twitter
I have nowhere else to document this so here we go:
Gonna do a no-buy for makeup, skin and body care products because I tend to hoard and stock up without realising 😭 and I get gifted makeup that I haven't used up.
I've been meaning to go through things but with college being college I haven't actually done much. And now that it's a new year, I'm making it a mission of mine.
So this is going to be my formal attempt at using up what I have properly for about two months minimum (I might need to buy some necessary products like sunscreen by then)
Goal: use up as much of the half used things I've got.
The stuff I'm going to tackle first (and document) are:
• a few mini perfumes that I got as a gift (very small, and the smell doesn't last so they'll be the first to go lol)
• a small hand cream thats half used
•my old b&bw rose lotion (only about a third left in it so it shouldn't be hard)
•a lipbalm (I have a lipbalm addiction and have collected wayyyy too many so I have to stick to one and finish it😭) I'm going with a Nivea lip balm
• an almost empty tub of aloe vera gel (I use it pretty regularly but I need to make sure I use it,cuz I already got a replacement 😞)
I've technically got much more to tackle but these are what I'm going to document for now 💪🏻 I'll update this at the end of the month and whenever I finish one of the products on the list!!
Hard to Believe more people haven't told Amy Purdy she beautiful, I mean she looks Amazing even without Make Up.
Hope everybodys first month of 2025 was (is) okay…

The Will of the Many || James Islington ★★★★★ Started: 25.12.2024 Finished: 31.01.2025 Favourite book of January 2025 ♥ AUDI. VIDE. TACE. The Catenan Republic – the Hierarchy – may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilised society in allowing my strength, my drive and my focus – what they call Will – to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do. I tell them that I belong, and they believe me. But the truth is that I have been sent to the Academy to find answers. To solve a murder. To search for an ancient weapon. To uncover secrets that may tear the Republic apart. And that I will never, ever cede my Will to the empire that executed my family. To survive, though, I will still have to rise through the Academy’s ranks. I will have to smile, and make friends, and pretend to be one of them and win. Because if I cannot, then those who want to control me, who know my real name, will no longer have any use for me. And if the Hierarchy finds out who I truly am, they will kill me. Where do I even begin with this incredible book? I loved the worldbuilding, I loved the characters, I loved the writing - it could not have been much better, and I had some pretty high expectations going in. James Islington managed to surpass them all. Safe to say I'm impatiently waiting for "Strength of the Few"!
January 2025 reads!
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi || S.A. Chakraborty ★★★★☆ Started reading: 01.01.2025 Finished reading: 07.01.2025 This was a lot more fun than I thought it would be! I can't wait to see what the sequel has in store for us!
All the Lovers in the Night || Mieko Kawakami ★★★☆☆ Started: 28.12.2024 Finished: 18.01.2025 Hmmm, given how popular Kawakami is, I expected more from this book… not that it was bad, per se, just that it wasn't particularly remarkable or even memorable. Maybe I should have tried "Breast and Eggs" first
