Hi, I’m Shawna — bioshawna online.
This is where I keep track of what actually helps me get through my days. A product (or subscription) I keep repurchasing without thinking twice about. An app that makes my to-do list feel less like a threat. A tool that helps when my brain won’t cooperate. Little things, mostly.
I started this because I got tired of everything online feeling perfectly packaged. Life isn’t polished, so this blog isn’t going to be either — some posts are proper reviews (skincare, retail products, apparel, a service I keep coming back to), while other posts feature discussions regarding the latest tech news, gaming, or productivity software. Other posts are just whatever is actually going on with me personally that week. I didn’t want to pick one lane.
You’ll find product and service reviews here, beauty & lifestyle products that became part of my routine, notes on the tech and AI tools I use for work, creator tips from things I’m learning as I go, and occasionally a late-night post that’s more journal entry than content.
My golden rule with reviews: I’m not going to pretend something’s life-changing when it’s fine. If a product is just okay, I’ll say it’s just okay. If it’s genuinely great, I’ll say that too, and try to explain why I have that opinion vs gushing with false hype.
I’m building this mainly for content creators and creatives — people looking for products worth trying, tools worth testing, or a review they can actually rely on instead of one that reads like an ad or cash grab.
I’m still figuring out exactly what this becomes. Right now it’s beauty, lifestyle, tech, AI, and the occasional overshare, because that’s genuinely what my brain is interested in.
If you’re building something of your own, testing tools, or you simply want a safe corner of the internet to explore, browse, & comment on— I’m glad you’re here. Subscribe if you want new posts sent straight to your inbox.
Thank you for visiting.
