Hi!

I’m Kim - 31, born and raised in Ridgewood, Queens. A real New Yorker. Not the transplant kind.

I’m in my final year of grad school, working a full-time corporate job by day, and trying to romanticize my life in between meetings, Pilates classes, and restaurant reservations.

I like lifting heavy, eating well (and sometimes not so well), discovering new restaurants, testing beauty products like it’s a competitive sport, and convincing myself that matcha still isn’t good. I live for a luxurious life… even if my bank account occasionally disagrees. I spend money I don’t have to live a life I imagine I should already be living but honestly, isn’t that just being in your 30s in New York?

My relationship status? In the air. But whose isn’t.

This space is where all versions of me get to exist at once. The corporate girl. The grad student. The Pilates princess who still orders fries. The beauty lover. The food critic (self-appointed). The girl trying to figure it out in real time.

Here you’ll find restaurant reviews, beauty product obsessions, outfit moments, random thoughts about life as a 31-year-old New Yorker, and whatever phase I’m currently diving into headfirst.

Welcome to The Edit. I’m really glad you’re here.
