Tell us something about yourself!
Hello, I'm Ely, an Arts and Design student who also works in retail. Creativity is a significant part of who I am, both in my academic pursuits and my job. I find solace in crafting a skincare routine, which has become a cherished ritual for unwinding and relaxing after a day's work. Additionally, I have a keen interest in the film industry and aspire to contribute my creative skills in that field. I hope to be known for my passion for creativity, and art.
Do you follow a ritual?
Absolutely! I find immense comfort in maintaining a daily ritual that helps keep my life in balance. My routine is centered around several key elements. Firstly, my skincare routine is not just about self-care but also a creative expression that allows me to unwind. Additionally, my bath routine is another crucial aspect, providing a serene space for relaxation.
One thing I can't live without is my planner. It's the backbone of my organization, helping me manage my time effectively and ensuring that I stay on top of my commitments. These rituals, whether skincare, bath, or planning, contribute significantly to maintaining a sense of balance and happiness in my life.
How do you incorporate or plan to incorporate happiness into your ritual?
Bringing joy to my routine is important to me. I love trying new products or services, especially in my skincare routine. It adds excitement and creativity to my self-care time. Whether it's testing out different skincare or bath products, the thrill of trying something new brings me genuine joy.
Beyond my beauty routine, I also apply this approach to life. I embrace new experiences and always look for chances to grow personally. Trying new things is a key part of infusing happiness into my daily routine.

If you were to make a manifesto, what would you choose over perfection?
If I were to create a manifesto, I'd choose creativity and creative freedom over perfection any day. For me, the process of exploring and expressing my ideas is more important than aiming for flawless outcomes. Embracing creativity allows room for innovation, learning, and personal growth, making the journey itself more fulfilling than the pursuit of perfection.
