I am always so thankful to have a little metal nail file with me wherever I go. I used to be a chronic nail biter. One chipped fingernail would send me into a frenzy, and I would have to nibble away at what was left until the nail felt even. This would inevitably result in me biting the rest of my nails too. I know at least one of you can relate!? Carrying a nail file helps me avoid slipping up and chewing all of my nails to the quick. Sometimes I worry that it’s rude to be like filing away at my nails in public? But I also don’t care and even think it’s kind of sassy.

love this representation! I keep nail files everywhere! They are great for when you’re in traffic lol and they must be metal bc the foamy ones are sensory hell for me.

I used to be a compulsive nail biter, and I wanted to stop but needed a creative way to do it. So I decided to make them an art project. It helps me not bite them because I don’t want to ruin all the hard work I’ve done. I have to keep up with them and sharpen them about once a week. It also makes it easier to open packages, which is great.

Auto-sensory stimulation for anxious moments, a good reason not to make eye contact, on-the-go manicuring, just one more bite—what could be better?

I recently had my first mango lassi and holy cow… y’all…RUN don’t walk to your nearest Indian restaurant and get one. This juicy, creamy goodness makes me wanna drop down into a split. I can’t believe I’ve lived for this long without these. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I now know joy, I now know happiness, I now know mango lassi <3

This has been my favorite since I was a kid. I don’t remember picking it, it’s just always been IT for me. Everything about this color is so joyful and kind to me. There’s something so smooth and round about it. I want to bathe in it! Both of my bedrooms at my mom’s and dad’s houses growing up were painted yellow at my request. However, I don’t really own any clothes this color, and I think it looks bad on me. I have a ton of yellow things in my apartment though. I have not met many fellow yellow fans, but I’ll always stand by it. Also, Timmy Chalamet wore butter yellow to the Oscars yesterday. He’s my favorite actor and #1 celeb crush, so it was a huge night for me.
