I get asked for advice a lot. Like, almost constantly. It’s cool with me because I know some stuff. I like sharing that knowledge, and I’m always up for making recommendations or just generally talking about beauty stuff. I especially like talking about beauty products and trends that may have escaped the notice of people…

I received this mask in my April Boxycharm, and since my skin is a bit out of whack from traveling I was excited to use it. My very first thought: Holy Hell, what is that stench?! It smells like sulfur and… I can’t think of anything else. It just stinks of sulfur. Rarely have I…

I picked this book up at Haslam’s in St. Petersburg, Florida, one of the biggest and coolest bookstores I’ve ever seen in my life. I was so overwhelmed by the sheer size of this place that I didn’t take any photos, but trust me, it’s amazing. Supposedly it’s also haunted, but that’s another story. Unfortunately…

Happy Spring, friends! If you’re lucky you’ve had spring weather for more than a week. I’m currently in northern Michigan with Dan and there are still snowbanks here, though it’s been consistently above freezing so they’re rapidly disappearing. I head home to NY next week, and from what I hear their weather has been pretty…
Garden brows. Seriously people?
I promised you some photos and commentary from my trip to Sarasota, and here it is. Finally. The whole point of my visit, aside from spending time with my lovely, darling friend Sarah, was to start talking wedding with her and her gorgeous fiance, Jess. We checked out the venue, talked logistics, brainstormed and ate…
I know I’ve mentioned it in passing, but recently I’ve been super into podcasts. I used to find them incredibly boring, but I was also listening primarily to This American Life and Savage Lovecast, which are good, but after a while get a little redundant. I mean, how many times can you listen to Dan…
You’re likely tired of reading about how much I love this brand, but… I LOVE THIS BRAND. This scrub is another product I decided to bring with me on this trip. I don’t normally bring body scrubs because they’re usually in big, bulky tubs; who wants to haul them around? Even if I wanted to bring…
Disclaimer: This post is about a book, not the politics discussed in the book. Full disclosure: I didn’t read this book. I listened to it on audiobook with my Scribd membership. I think there’s a review of this service coming soon, but for now, just know that I love it. If you’re not familiar with Trae…
So… my grandpa died. It happened early Thursday morning, and while it wasn’t exactly sudden since he’d been in and out of the hospital for the last few months, it definitely was a surprise. Right before I went to Florida he fell and was experiencing loss of sensation in his limbs, but he was stable.…
