Hi, I'm Amber, the writer behind ShineSheets. I share personal development, beauty, relationships and self-care ideas on this blog since 2018. My goal is to help you foster beauty, self-improvement and order in your life.
Why I started ShineSheets
ShineSheets exists because I had big dreams. In my anxious early twenties, a simple DIY paper planner helped me get my life back, and when I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and started learning about personal growth, things slowly began to change. This blog is where I share what I learned along the way: the habits, routines, journaling prompts and little rituals that keep my life and mind in order.
The ShineSheets motto is simple: write a glowing book of YOU, sheet by sheet, day by day.
A little about me
- I'm a shy, overthinking introvert who loves lists of everything and prefers a quiet evening at home to a big party.
- I've always been prone to anxiety, and most days I manage it well. Journaling, paper planning and a steady self-care routine are my favorite tools.
- I journal every day and still prefer paper planners to apps.
- My skin is combination, sensitive and prone to change, so I'm careful with new skincare products.
- I'm a huge advocate of self care. A long warm shower, a face mask and calm music can turn my whole day around.
