I've had my whole saga with the US visa system: 3 H1b lottery misses, cross-border long distance relationship through it all, finally getting L1 visa approval, and then deciding to come back home in '19, giving up the L1 I wanted so badly... I still can't fully articulate why I

So so true💯 Skin really needs to be seen as a part of our overall health system and not just the wrapping paper of our body. Struggled with acne for years till I finally figured out what was causing it and also worked on that: 1amskincareclub.substack.com/p/my-acne-story

The difference between a 'good' dermatologist and an 'average' one is how they view your skin. Through my own acne journey, I met several dermats who treated the surface, but never the root cause. Then I finally found Dr. Vandhana, who said: “Acne is a symptom of something

Picking serums (or products) isn’t as straightforward as this chart suggests⚠️⚠️⚠️ 1) Skin type is only one factor. Your skin conditions, sensitivity levels, environment, and skin goals all matter. 2) Each active ingredient has a purpose - and it’s about finding the right way

If you ask my closest friends for a word most closely associated with me, 50% will say "coffee" (I mean my bio literally says "perpetually seeking coffee"...) So I was rather dismissive when matcha started sidelining my beloved beverage💔 But turns out, this green froth is
