Hello! My name is Karen and I'm 26 years young. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm a university student majoring in Criminal Justice. I love receiving pretty stuff in the mail. I'm currently obsessed with; snail-mailing, skincare and makeup! My favorite color is yellow. I normally don't like bright colors but somehow I find yellow a very positive and cheerful color. I'm not the most bubbly person but I do believe by wearing something bright, will help brighten your day. I also enjoy the smell of the rain and the beauty of nature. Winter is my favorite season, I get to burn my favorite candles and cozy up with cute warm sweaters.

I Have also been obsessing with baths. There is nothing more relaxing than filling up my tub with hot water, while running my favorite bubble bar. I like to go extra in my baths, I LOVE using bath salts, bath oils, bath bombs and anything related towards creating a fun bath. As a full time student and full time employee, it's very important for me to dedicate some of my free time for self-care.♥️

I took a break from post card swaps, I don't think I'll be joining one anytime soon. As I've been getting older I have found new hobbies and sadly post-crossing is no longer one of them. Due to the obsession that I had from collecting post cards from places that I dreamed of visiting, I took the challenge to no longer dream of traveling to those places but to save up and make my dreams reality.

skincare

Skincare is my number one priority. I mostly use anything that provides an intense hydration for my dry sensitive skin. I don't like to use products with a strong fragrance on my face (fragrance-free preferably). Here is a short list of products that I use in my day/night skincare routine:

• facial moisturizers
• serums for hydration or anti-aging
• toners
• essences
• eye creams
• sheet masks & peel of masks
• facial mists

make-up

I'm very basic when it comes to makeup. I don't use bronzers, contouring products, and crazy lip colors. Please do not send me dollar store makeup, lip gloss, blush, single eye shadows, lip tint and anything cream formulated. Here is a short list of products that I would prefer:

• brow liners in dark brown
• mascara
• foundation powder in light medium
• liquid lipsticks
• lip balms
• nail polishes
• make up brushes of any kind

I love them stamped and written on:
