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…
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…
I’m sure you all remember April Fool’s Day last year when Tarte announced their most interesting palette ever, the Icy Betch palette. It was gorgeous, with icy blues and cool greens, and I loved it. But it was a fucking joke. *eye roll* So here we are, a year later, and Tarte has actually released…
Months ago I heard that my lady crush Evanna Lynch, i.e. Luna Lovegood, would be releasing her own vegan, cruelty-free beauty subscription box, and I was SO EXCITED that the minute it was available for pre-order I bought it without thinking twice. The first box arrived a week or so ago, and I thought I’d…
Dan and I are home in Rochester this weekend spending time with family. Today was our baby niece’s first birthday party, so I had to look cute. What’s on my face: Primer – First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Coconut Skin Smoothie Priming Moisturizer Foundation – CoverGirl TruBlend Matte Made Foundation in M10 Golden Natural Concealer…
I don’t wanna work, I just wanna sleep in my bed all day… I know that’s not how the song goes, but that’s what’s in my heart so I’m going to sing it that way. Because today is the Mondayest of Tuesdays and I had a bunch of dumb meetings that required being on camera,…
It’s been a long time since I did any kind of unboxing here; it’s not an unboxing blog, but when I get something new I like to share it. And for some unknown reason, this month I decided to sign up for the Allure Beauty Box. I don’t read Allure. I haven’t read “beauty” magazines…
So, it’s my birthday. I’m 36 today. I feel old af while simultaneously feeling like I can’t possibly be over 30. I’m not feeling too great and didn’t have anything planned today, but I decided to put on makeup. Not a full face, but enough to make me feel more like a human. La Roche…
I hate shaving almost as much as I hate washing my brushes. It’s just so time-consuming, and because I’m a huge klutz and my legs are usually covered in bruises and/or scrapes, it’s occasionally also painful. But I don’t like walking around with hairy man legs, so it’s something I suffer through. I’ve been using…
In preparation for my trip to Florida in April, I bought some sunscreen, like you do. The friend I was visiting, my #wifeforlife Sarah, doesn’t really believe in sunscreen, and even though she owns some it’s not something she brings to relevant places, like the beach or the pool. The last time I visited I…
Read more It’s hot as balls. Wear your (glitter?) sunscreen.
Today I want to talk about something I’ve never mentioned before. Just kidding guys… I’ve talked about this approximately 20 times already. It’s my brushes. And how I HATE washing them. It is a chore devised by Satan to test the sanity and patience of otherwise rational people. So I buy new ones. Which results…
I don’t know why I decided to make a video with dirty hair and a mask on my face, but here you go.
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…

It’s not often that I buy skincare from brands I’ve never heard of, especially from Amazon. I’m wary of doing it, as you can imagine. This product was recommended to me by a friend/coworker, by way of his wife. I honestly love getting recommendations for cheap things so I grabbed it. Because I’m in rural…
This is a cool concept and a good foundation, but I’m super disappointed. So, this came from my first Virtual VoxBox from Influenster. If you’re not familiar with Virtual VoxBoxes (I sure wasn’t), it’s an additional campaign that you can participate it right away. With this one, Influenster sent a promo code, and the first…
