    How to Take Your Own Photos without Instagram (Boy)Friends

    Dear readers, it’s Bethanny. Sorry for disappearing. Between finishing graduate school and everything else in life, posting regularly on this blog wasn’t quite easy. However, I’m going back into it —hopefully for real this time—and in this post, I want to share a tip on how to take your own photos especially if you’re aspiring to enhance your photography skills and Instagram profile (follow me and lets connect!).

    An Asian Girl and Her Lily Cup Compact

    Hi! I’m Bethanny from Indonesia and I use a menstrual cup called the Lily Cup Compact during my period. As a girl born and raised in Asia, menstrual cups aren’t really a thing.
