It's about that time folks. This year has been... well, interesting covers it I guess. It's a year I needed to live through to grow and junk. This blog has been a big part of that growth; it's reminded me that I'm actually a creative person and I have things to say. That's important to... Continue Reading →
Favorite books of 2017
I haven't read as much as I would have liked this year and fell short of my Goodreads goal by... well, a lot. I've just had a ton of stuff going on, but I've still managed to read some great stuff. Also, if you'd like to be my friend on Goodreads, feel free to send... Continue Reading →
Favorite YouTubers of 2017
I watch a lot of YouTube. Like, A LOT. At this point, I watch YouTube almost exclusively when Dan is working and we're not watching a show together. So I have a lot of favorite channels, and they're not all beauty related so get ready. Beauty News Two Aussies, Hailey (the blonde) and Kat (the... Continue Reading →
Beauty-related resolutions
I'm not normally the New Year's Resolutions type, but I feel like I really need to get my act together when it comes to my beauty collection. It's getting ridiculous. Wear makeup every day - I'm not currently doing this, which is insane because I have so much. With any luck, wearing makeup every day... Continue Reading →
The things I don’t like about Christmas
We're reaching the end of Blogmas, and I thought it only fitting that I mention some things that I don't like about Christmas. Really, there's only one thing: I don't like when it's over. After the fun and festivities of the last few days, today felt a bit anti-climactic. I'm happy to have some time... Continue Reading →
Merry Christmas!!
Dear Readers, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Or a belated happy Chanukah. Or whatever winter solstice celebration you prefer. The last few months writing this blog have been challenging, a little stressful thanks to my lack of time management skills, but also extremely rewarding. I feel like I'm part of...

Unboxing my subscriptions!
I got a nice little surprise today; both my Sephora Play box and my first FabFitFun box arrived! My last few Play boxes have been really nothing special so I'm hoping for something good, and the FFF box is supposed to be epic, so here we go. My first thought when opening the Play box...

Favorite Christmas songs
Guys. It's day 21. WOOT. I like Christmas music. It's not my favorite thing ever, and I can't listen to it 24/7, even during the holiday season, but it's not something I loathe. My taste is Christmas music is a little weird, so I decided to share some of my favorite songs with you. So... Continue Reading →
I got an early Christmas gift!
Today Dan and I went on a little adventure. Now, Dan is a man, and as such he sometimes struggles when it comes to giving me gifts. I suggested he just go to Sephora with me and set me loose, but he didn't want any part of that. He claims it's because I buy my... Continue Reading →
Winter skin care
This post could also aptly be titled "WTF is happening with my skin right now". Typically there's a bit of a freakout when the season changes so I was expecting a little of this, but my face is full scale freaking out. Zits, dryness, the whole nine. In my attempts to keep the freakout at... Continue Reading →
Review: L’Oreal Purify & Mattify Pure-Clay Mask
We now interrupt our regularly scheduled Blogmas post to bring you: something different. A review. Of a product I've been using all month long. Whaaaaaat? This is a mask I picked up on a whim. I'd heard good things on YouTube and the reviews on Amazon and Ulta are overall pretty good, so I figured... Continue Reading →
Favorite Christmas books
So this post is going to go off on a tangent for a minute. Stay with me. I don't like a lot of sentimental crap. I'm not into rom-coms really, and I don't like romance novels. I don't know why I'm not into this stuff, but it actually annoys me. I find myself being like... Continue Reading →
Holiday anti-haul
Blogmas day 16 seems like a good day to talk about all of the holiday things I won't be buying. There's a lot of stuff that comes out at Christmas, and normally I'm really excited about it all. This year has proven to be an exception, as I have little interest in any of it,... Continue Reading →
Struggling to find inspiration
Blogmas day... 15? I'm starting to lose track. I'm also starting to struggle to find topics that really speak to me. I kind of feel like I phoned it in with yesterday's post, and I really don't want to make a habit of that. I have a whole list of Blogmas topics but none of... Continue Reading →
What I love most about the holidays
Greetings internet friends! For Blogmas day 14 I was thinking about the things I love the most at Christmas. Honestly, this goes hand in hand with my Christmas traditions post, as those are the main things I love. I also love the lights when I'm driving down the street. I love the snow, if I...
