Let's talk about s… kincare, makeup, etc.
I know that I've been a bit AWOL the last few months, but I've still been wearing makeup. I mean, obviously. It makes me feel like an actual person instead of a depressed swamp hermit, so yeah, I still try shit. I've tried some great stuff in 2019, and some really terrible stuff. Here are...

I've mentioned before that I'm not really into resolutions, but I'm setting a few goals for myself for the coming year. They're pretty straightforward. Blog more This is obvious and self-explanatory. I like blogging. It makes me happy. I should make it more of a priority. Go new places Since moving to Albany I've become... Continue Reading →
As promised, here's your holiday 2019 anti-haul. Sit back y'all, because there's a lot here. Haus Lab Holiday collection Is this for real? Am I in some kind of alternate reality where Lady Gaga isn't, you know, LADY freakin' GAGA? Not that she needs to be outrageous all the time, but I don't expect her... Continue Reading →
Oh hi. I've been gone for awhile. After my uncle died I went into a bit of a funk. And by funk I mean full-fledged depression. It wasn't all related to his death; I found a new doctor in Albany and we've been messing with my meds a bit, plus the change in weather, the... Continue Reading →
Hello friends. We're more than halfway through the month, and while I planned to post lots of good spooky things, I just haven't been in the right mindset to write. Or really do much of anything other than work. My great uncle died at the beginning of the month. It was sudden and unexpected, and... Continue Reading →
Ugh this book. Synopsis: This is a novel about a young woman's efforts to duck the ills of the world by embarking on an extended hibernation with the help of one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature and the battery of medicines she prescribes. Our narrator should be happy, shouldn't she? She's... Continue Reading →
I'm spending this year attempting to be more conscious of the things I buy, but I've still purchased some things. Some of these things have been disappointing. I'd like to talk about them, and maybe you can learn from my mistakes. Everything I've tried from Kopari Beauty During the Christmas clearance sale I bought a... Continue Reading →
I've been feeling spooky since Labor Day weekend, partly because everyone's been talking about fall, and partly because I've been so sick. Being sick makes me want to hibernate with spooky books and blankets and tea regardless of what time of year it is. I read another book by this author when I went to... Continue Reading →
I did an anti-haul recently, and I feel it's only right that I should talk about some things that I actually am interested in and do want. For the sake of balance, or whatever. Urban Decay Naked Honey palette We've been without a Naked palette release for six-ish months, so they were due for a release.... Continue Reading →
Greetings internet! I just took some time to update my Amazon storefront with some new stuff, so if you want to see a ton of things I use in my everyday life, plus makeup I love and books I've read, all complete with mini-reviews, check it out. Full disclosure: should you buy something from my... Continue Reading →
But I've been flat on my ass for almost two weeks. Labor Day weekend I went home to Rochester to spend time with family and go to my "cousin's" wedding. The scare quotes are because she's not actually my cousin, but I've known her since she was born and we all grew up together, so... Continue Reading →
I know people love fall, and I'm into it for spooky reasons, but I was not fully prepared for the end of summer. It's still warm here, but it's been raining for days and the cooler weather is making appearances at night. Ugh. This means winter is coming. But I took a few minutes to... Continue Reading →
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Spooky season and Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty! I love these sales because I can stock up on favorite things and try new things and not pay full price. I already give too much of my money to Ulta. I'm a day late due to traveling and family... Continue Reading →
This morning I woke up ridiculously early (for me), took a shower and put on real pants (meaning not sweats or pajamas). All so that I could have breakfast with some friends who were in town unexpectedly and not smell bad doing it. It was nice, but I don't like being conscious before 8. Admittedly,...

I've mentioned this once or twice, but I work from home. Sometimes it's really boring and impossible to concentrate. Today is one of those days, so I played with some makeup. What's on my face: Eye primer: MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly Eye shadow: Anastasia Beverly Hills x Jackie Aina palette - a... Continue Reading →
