Fall calls for all things cozy: chunky sweaters, roaring fires, and warm caramel. As the temperatures drop my body becomes convinced that some kind of famine is coming and begins craving carbs. Not just any carbs, either. Vegetables don’t cut it. I want crusty bread, gooey pasta, and warm baked

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

Women Can Shave Their Face Too Always susceptible to YouTube trends (just, like, beauty ones, not bothering Japan ones), I was only halfway through Jaclyn Hills’ How I Shave My Face video when I knew I’d be scraping at my own face soon enough. What is good enough for Jaclyn

I’ve been really into drugstore lipstick lately. If I’m feeling blah rolling into Wal-Mart, I reach into my purse for lip color and aviators. A quick swipe of peach or baby pink and I’m looking more awake than before. Cherry reds and burgandys broadcast good vibes without having to open

I don’t necessarily like cleaning (unless it’s surfaces, cuz I like making stuff shiny). I like having a clean home and I like everything having a place. A cluttered and dusty living space makes me anxious. And I don’t need anything else in this bag of crazy, mmkay? But, you
