Bronzer used to scare me. I found it unnatural and unnecessary; a one-way ticket to Oompa Loompa Land. Bronzer was for more dramatic, 90210 types, not me. Well, I wrong. This staying in the house all the time (thanks COVID-19 quarantine!) has me pale AF. Bronzer provides a nice flush

Ah, the Dirty Thirties. Our 30s call for a targeted skin care routine. If you haven’t followed a skin care routine, the time to start is now, in your 30s. Why? The chaos of our twenties is (hopefully) over, but the effects of previous bad decisions are becoming visible now.

In terms of Christmas decor, I really came into my own this year. It’s the third Christmas in our house and I’m starting to understand what does and doesn’t work for our unusual 110-year-old interior woodwork.

Remember the 1990’s and early 2000’s? A more innocent time; one of Nicktoons, butterfly clips, and matching denim outfits for teen pop power couples. A time when young women everywhere shaped their brows into tortured little tadpoles. It was me. I’m young women. Now it’s 2019 and I’m in my

“Micro what?” you say. “One of those words is needle.” Microneedling is a process that involves tiny needles punching hundreds of tiny holes into the skin. It can be done in a dermatologist office or at home, and it only sounds scary. I’ve recently discovered microneedling at home. It’s doing

I’ve recently discovered the best drugstore mascara for volume and boy, is it cheap. Like, less than half the price of Lash Paradise (my old favorite drugstore mascara). I’m not sponsored or anything, just excited. Essence is out here doing the damn thing. Their I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara
