I live through the characters; every time I finish a new book I change my entire personality. It seems, though, that society does not value reading as much as I would love them to do. I have hope though, especially for my readers (if you read my blog then of course you’re an intelligent person, because it’s my blog…duh). But, if you are having trouble finding good reads, then I got you. Here are a list of books and why I love them so damn much: ...]]></description><link>https://www.thecandidfolio.com/post/my-top-3-book-recommendations-for-the-girlies</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8dba7c836b1f3da5f89979</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:56:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4bb7f2_92e3a0fa20fd406fafe159a1d52e321b~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_318,h_487,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ertekin-tanera27</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why I feel so done with school (complaining hour):]]></title><description><![CDATA[Dear Reader, I am a rising senior, and I cannot even begin to tell you how done I am with school. It was like any other day today. I was feeling very anxious and sad. Mostly because school was starting up again. But today was different, in that I truly reflected on what the coming semester would be like. Endless essays. Cruel teachers, and just overall never ending stress from the need to balance school and social life. I strive to be active in both, but I feel that I am always sacrificing...]]></description><link>https://www.thecandidfolio.com/post/why-i-feel-so-done-with-school-complaining-hour</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7149752155f73d880572ea</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2026 02:08:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ertekin-tanera27</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Daily Thoughts]]></title><description><![CDATA[Dear Reader, Something has been on my mind recently. I feel very much obsessed with someone. Like a crush. Only I can’t stop checking my phone to see if they texted back. I don’t know; maybe this is obsession, and maybe it’s my own overthinking head. Whichever one it is, it is affecting my daily life. When I think about this person, I feel guilty (as if it’s a crime to somewhat like someone). But then I am constantly wanting to text this person as well. Every time I am about to push the send...]]></description><link>https://www.thecandidfolio.com/post/daily-thoughts</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a714951a58a237692416f80</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2026 02:07:30 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ertekin-tanera27</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skin care tips to get glowing skin AM: ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Reader, there are so many content creators out there already that constantly offer skincare tips that are full of fad. Often times, the “tips” they offer are only to sell a product. Have no fear reader, because your skincare fairy godmother is here:  Reader, you really do not need very expensive products to have a good skincare routine. All you really need is a cleanser, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen. It is not the product name, it is how you use the product.

Why not? I could control myself… except that I couldn’t. I knew I had to find some hobbies that I would enjoy. If you are like me, or just need something to do, here is a list of activities that could be your future hobby:  Journaling:  To be frank, journaling is one of the easiest hobbies to start, but the hardest to continue, at least in my experience....]]></description><link>https://www.thecandidfolio.com/post/hot-girl-hobbies</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a714682f20e59031dfc73e2</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2026 02:03:22 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4bb7f2_0f48173bfe23402d826e4779c92a290a~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_736,h_828,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ertekin-tanera27</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Fashion Wishlist but they get progressively more absurd: ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Fashion girls know that one can never have too much clothing.

And by manifest, I mean writing all the clothing items I yearn for:  A Black corset:  Look reader, I have always wanted a corset. But a black corset from Trashy Lingerie (the famous and suspicious LA costume store) speaks differently. It is versatile, it has a certain cachet, it is elegantly gaudy. Need I say more?
