From the editor
Hello, lovely souls!
Truth be told, I’m in my Netflix-and-chill era. I just wrapped up Is It Cake and am now indulging in the thrilling Five Star Chef - perfect for all the foodies! And let me tell you, Survival of the Thickest was an absolute gem. A hilarious, heartwarming story with a strong female lead that left me smiling from ear to ear. It's a reminder that representation matters and inclusivity truly makes stories shine brighter!
Have you ever been so engrossed in a book that you lost track of time? That's exactly how I felt with Sue Lynn Tan's Daughter of the Moon Goddess. Life got busy, but I'm determined to pick it up again and let its magical world whisk me away!
Also, it's Barbie season, and I'm beyond thrilled! I would tell you all about how I had ALL the Barbie goods as a kid - and stirred up some of my mates in primary school - but then I would never stop writing. And now, after months of anticipation, it's finally time for the movie! I’m off to the cinema with a heart full of joy! Stay tuned for my review on the site soon, and don't miss our Instagram for some fabulous pink carpet moments.
Remember, life is all about cherishing the little moments that bring us joy and embracing the stories that touch our hearts. So go out there, explore, and create beautiful memories!
- Coco
