I’ve been home from my most recent round of travels for a few days and I’m already packing to leave town again. This time I’m going home for the holidays; Christmas is something I look forward to all year, but Dan has to come back to Albany before the actual holiday and that sucks. Anyway,…
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…

While I was in Boston this weekend I went to a Lush store. For the first time ever. Now, I’ve been to Boston to visit my friends (Mike and Tasha… hi guys!) several times in the six years that they’ve lived there, and I had no idea how close they were to a…
I’m back! Did you miss me? I’ve been having major issues with my skin lately. I attribute it to holiday stress, not eating right because of the aforementioned holidays (but really, who doesn’t mainline desserts at Christmas?!), and general laziness when it comes to my skincare. I’ve also been trying some new stuff that I…

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…
I’ve used this mask a few times, so this isn’t exactly a first impression, but I don’t think I’ve been using it long enough or often enough to know exactly what I think. If you’re not familiar with this company, they’ve been around for a really long time, and they have skincare, bath products and…

This week has been rough. I woke up Sunday feeling a bit run down with a slightly scratchy throat. No big deal, right? Of course not. By the time I woke up Monday morning my body was in complete rebellion, and my symptoms multiplied like bunnies overnight. I slept for almost two entire days. I…
I may not have mentioned this to you all before, but I am cheap. I mean, as cheap as you can be when you’re also addicted to expensive things. So when I saw an ad on Facebook or Instagram (I honestly don’t remember which) for this FREE MASK, I had to click on it. Sure,…

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…

I love masks. So. So. Much. Sheet masks, pot masks, tube masks. Clay, egg white, mud. Doesn’t matter, I love them all. I wanted to talk about my recent favorites since I haven’t written much about skin care. Perfectly Posh Go West Detoxifying mask This is a relatively new mask in my collection and…
