Hello internet friends! Did you miss me? It’s been quite a week. Last weekend my wonderful, beautiful friend Alisha got married in the Adirondacks. It was as cold as… something really cold… but it was beautiful and fun and I can’t imagine a better time. I got to spend quality time dancing and laughing with…

One of my favorite things about Halloween is fear. Sounds weird right? We all experience some level of fear every day, whether it’s about something relatively small like starting a new job, or something major like being diagnosed with a serious illness. My daily fears are things like being incapacitated by my cocktail of chronic…
What in the holy hell is happening with Deciem’s founder? Let me back up: Deciem is the parent company of The Ordinary, the company that’s proven that decent skincare doesn’t need to cost an arm, a leg and our first born. Their most notable release was their foundation almost two years ago; with two coverage…
Bonus points if you know which scary movie that line is from. I love scary movies. I can occasionally be a bit of a chicken, but for the most part, I like scary horror movies. Like, the kind of movie I can’t watch at night because I’ll have nightmares. Below you’ll find a few of…
We’ve been living in this apartment for a few months now, and not to be alarmist, but I think it might be a tiny bit haunted. Not in a scary way, just in a “Huh, that’s odd” way. We live north of Albany proper in a town called Cohoes, in the “downtown” area. It only…

Embarrassing confession time: while I love creepy things, I can’t watch, listen to or read them alone at night or I scare the hell out of myself. Sometimes I even get creeped out during the day, depending on the story. This is especially inconvenient because Dan works nights, and he’s been spending most of the…

If you weren’t alive in the 90s or were too young to stay up to watch Friends you won’t get this reference. The rest of you can skip this next paragraph. Friends was an NBC show that aired on Thursday nights from the mid-90s to the early 00s. It’s a situational comedy about six young adults living in…
I love podcasts. I’m now subscribed to more than 60 of them, and I listen basically all day, every day. While I’m working, while I’m driving, sometimes even when I’m in the shower. I know this is when normal people listen to music, but music doesn’t keep my brain engaged. I zone out, and I…
There’s been a lot of emphasis on and hype around holiday collections this year. Multiple brands were releasing their Christmas collections in late August or early September; not only is that WAY too early but it also ignores an extremely important makeup centric holiday. Seems kinda asinine to me, but not every brand has forsaken…
Get excited you creepy bitches, IT’S OCTOBER!! I’m pumped, can you tell? October means Halloween decorations, candy, ghosts stories, scary movies; basically the things I live for. I also have to make it home at least once this month, not only to see my family and friends but also to gorge myself on my mom’s…
