Soft Pastels

Hey guys, welcome to my world, my friends call me Que (pronounced Q) and my family calls me Nikki. Nice to meet you. I am super boring in real life but I’m funny as hell lol. I am random in so many ways, who knows how this blog is going to turn out. #trustory

Hey, I’m Anique, but you can call me Que.

I’m the heart behind Soft Pastels Life. This blog is my digital home, a space where I document the real, unfiltered moments of life as I live it.

I started Soft Pastels Life after many late-night spirals asking myself, “What should I share? Will anyone read this?”(Spoiler alert: I did it anyway.)

What began as a YouTube channel in 2019, filled with vlogs, cooking, cleaning, hair care, and everyday moments has now grown into something much deeper: a personal journey of healing, creating, and learning how to build a life I don’t need to escape from.

Here, I share recipes that comfort me, reflections that ground me, and the messy, uncomfortable process of becoming who I’m meant to be. My life isn’t perfect, polished, or Pinterest-ready, it’s just real. Some days I’m thriving, and other days I’m simply surviving but both versions of me are welcomed here.

I’m not here to be a guru. I’m just a woman figuring life out in her own imperfect way.

Whether you’re here for recipes or reflections, I hope something in these words makes you feel seen and maybe even inspires you to face your own fears.
