About

Hi, I'm Risha.

I'm a tech girl in my late twenties who spent most of her teenage years not taking care of herself at all. Anxiety, depression, not feeling at home in my own body – self-care felt like something that belonged to other people, not me.

About a 2 year ago, that started to change. I picked up a cleanser, then a toner, then fell completely down the K-beauty rabbit hole. And somewhere in those quiet morning routines – layering serums, reading ingredient lists, figuring out what my skin actually needs, I found something I wasn't expecting. I started feeling like myself.

Sparklestia is my little corner of the internet. It started as a skincare blog, and at its core it still is – honest guides, ingredient deep-dives, real product thoughts. But what I really want to build here is something bigger: a warm, unhurried space about self-love, slowing down, and taking care of yourself in a world that never stops moving.

I write about what I know, what I'm learning, and what genuinely works. No fluff. No cold selling. Just my opinion and information, shared with care.

I'm still figuring a lot of things out. This blog is part of that process.

Glad you're here. ✦
