It often seems like friendships are the first priority to take a backseat when a season of busyness kicks in. If you're anything like me, it usually proves difficult to get everyone's schedules aligned and to set an evening aside for quality time together. So when Palm Bay recently reached out and offered to provide some goodies to help me put on a Girl's Night In, I quickly said yes and jumped at the opportunity! It was the perfect excuse to invite some of my favourite girls over to enjoy …

Growing Pains
You may not be able to tell from photos, but I've always had a very thick, full head of hair. As an Asian, I've come to know that this is something to be thankful for.

Repeat Offender
While I'm all for mixing and matching to create fresh looks and to make the most of my closet, sometimes I'm just as happy to do what's even easier: re-wearing an outfit in its entirety... over and over again.

It's been a no-brainer since the clothes basically feel like pajamas but flatter my shape, and …
