  • I tried this Glow Recipe sheet mask in a pinch. Here’s how that went.

    I rummaged through my toiletry bag, discovering I was far from home with no moisturizer. Instead of panicking about how the wind will dry out my skin, I figured this would be a perfect time to try a new sheet mask. I popped into Sephora I chose the Watermelon Jelly Sheet Mask from Glow Recipe.…

  • Finally trying 1 Million by Rabanne, and I have some thoughts

    This week I’ve been wearing 1 Million by Paco Rabanne. It’s a woody scent, with some spice. As a quick review, I enjoy smelling it on myself, except it doesn’t seem to last very long on my skin. I have had better results getting it to linger on my clothes. It doesn’t seem too overpowering…

  • For you

    What will you do for you today? Like you, the real you. Not for other people’s gaze, not for the you that you “should” be, not for your parents. What are you doing for you?

  • If everyone else did it

    There’s that old saying that parents use to dissuade their children from following the crowd. “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you do that, too?” The boldest say yes, but the sentiment remains the same. The action might help you fit in, but it might also be harmful to you. Think before you do…

  • More on Youber, from Uber

    I finally looked at my Uber summary. I finally opened up my Uber year end summary, their Youber. I was right. This was not the “wrapped” that I wanted. Instead of being excited to share, I was left questioning my life choices and UberEats deliveries. It seems I’m not the only who feels this way.…

  • Uber, did anyone want this?

    A push notification came through. Check out your Uber Wrapped. There is no situation in which I want to relieve all the unnecessary takeout I ordered or ridiculously expensive (and precarious) rides I’ve taken throughout the year. I don’t want a summary of my bad decisions. This trend has now officially gone too far. Since…

  • A fashion field trip

    From my youth, I have always wanted to visit Paris. I was into fashion after all. I of course needed to head to fashion capital of the world at some point, as an almost completion of the mission. However now, my view has expanded. Fashion is global. Of course, New York is dominant on the…

  • I love this hand cream from Blue Lagoon. There’s just one problem.

    Wandering through The Conservatory at Hudson Yards, I lingered in the bodycare section. Winter had taken its toll on my hands. I decided to try the hand cream from Blue Lagoon and then instantly made the decision to purchase it. It’s a soothing cream that instantly makes my hands feel and look better. It’s not…

  • I just tried two more Miu Miu fragrances. Here’s what I thought.

    A few weeks ago, I told you my thoughts on Miutine by Miu Miu. I wasn’t a big fan of it. I couldn’t really detect the notes on my skin. It could have been the fragrance; it could have also been by nasal congestion. I wasn’t sure. You might think I’m coming to you now…

  • Training wheels

    I thought it’d be temporary. I thought that the need to write everything down, keep a tight schedule, and organize everything was a phase, just a moment in my life to get me through school. I thought that as a serious adult working a real job that i was done with that. So I let…
