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…
Just a quick post to check in and show off the fact that I made an effort today! I got up almost on time and actually did my hair! I only had enough time left over for a 5-minute makeup routine before I had to be in a meeting for work, but still. Hair AND…
Makeup and candy are two of my favorite things. I really think that my love of Halloween blossomed when I learned that the whole point of the day was free candy, and the love of creepy things came way later. I also love Asian beauty companies, like Etude House. Not only do most brands use…

I get asked for advice a lot. Like, almost constantly. It’s cool with me because I know some stuff.

I especially like talking about beauty products and trends that may have escaped the notice of people…

This is a K-beauty mask I’ve been using for the last few months. In my empties post I talked about a Julep sleep mask and my initial hesitation to put something heavy on my face overnight, and that hesitation applied to this mask as well. My skin isn’t sensitive, but there are some things it…
