Olivia Arocena

Writer and Editor
Olivia has been an official writer since the day she published her first poetry book at just 19 years old, but she’s been an unofficial writer since forever. After that came the publication of her Diaries, which she had been writing for most of her late teens and continues to do so today. One lucky day, she finally managed to merge her offline writing with her online persona and craft a blog, where she publishes more polished pieces aimed at a curious audience that can’t keep track of her many talents. She graduated from Drama School and is currently studying Linguistics. She is also chronically online, an avid reader, and a singer. A fascination with the many ways humans communicate is what drives her work and interests.

For a long time, I thought I was the only one who used Fragrantica. I used to spend hours researching this website, and I honestly found compelling user comments that were practically essays about what a fragrance conveyed. In those lonely, ridiculous hours put in researching perfumes, I understood something deeper about fragrances.

This is my favourite trend ever. I would even argue that it stopped being a trend long ago and has now become a style.  I just find it so fascinating that there are people out there who want to make a positive, inspiring impact on others and dedicate some of their time to making TikToks that ultimately express hope, appreciation for life, and a kind message. It genuinely moves me, lol.

I’m going to throw my most superstitious take out there: Life always presents you with an opportunity to perform some degree of petty revenge on someone who wronged you in the past. It works like this: you have a fall out with somebody; at first you’re very angry, and as time goes by, you begin to le

Let’s face it, some people are looking to take advantage of others to get their needs met without reciprocating.  The dynamic appears perfect to them as long as nobody dares to point it out or ask for something in return. If that happens, they’ll use any strategy to return to the statu
