If you have dry skin, read this before getting that Beauty of Joeson sunscreen
If you are not new here, you’ll know that I am serious about my sunscreen, and unapologetically so. When I needed a new sunscreen that was both hydrating and travel sized, I figured the Day Dew Cream by Beauty of Joeson would fit the bill perfectly. With a name like, I stood in my local…

A quick review of Tocca’s Cleopatra
Now, in the quiet of the morning, I can finally smell the fragrance I frantically applied yesterday. Throughout the week, I’d been testing Cleopatra from Tocca, but I could barely detect the scent. Now I can smell something soft and ever so slightly citrus. It’s pretty. But do I like it? I kind of see…

Let the door close
I went up for a job that I was a shoe-in for. “I don’t see you successful in this role.” It was a shock to me, mostly because I knew it wasn’t true. But I took the no and moved on. In other times I might have felt devastated by the blow. I might have…

What might seem like a good thing, but may not be
As a child, I dreamed of a world where I could have endless access to treats. Oh, what an amazing thing it would have been to have ice cream raining from the sky, a la in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Given the rising cost of food, I’d welcome the release on my grocery…

Something missing from the design vs designer memes
You see it. A video showing extravagant dresses, and then the designer comes out. Wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans. After designing all of those fantasy pieces, why are you dressed so plain?

Another Victoria’s Secret fashion is in the books
Yet again, I tuned into the livestream of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Models, athletes, and influencers walked down the runway, showing off a mixture of fantasy looks along with retail ready ensembles. The big flowing hair was back. The wings were in so many shapes. And the smiles were ever-present. As I watched the…

Add selfie to your skincare routine.
Take a picture of your face. Did you just cringe at the thought of that? And I didn’t even tell you to do it without makeup on. (But definitely do it without makeup.) If the thought of having a camera reveal what you really look like scares you, ask yourself why. You could take the…

Some other options for your vanilla fragrance needs
We all have our strange obsessions. Mine is trying to figure out at what point I will finally like the smell of this vial of Vanilla 28 by Kayali. It is a fragrance that went viral because of how delicious people thought it smelled. On me it was at best, “meh,” and at it’s worst…

A way with words
”Are you a poet?” I could tell it wasn’t a compliment, so I asked her to explain. She said that I used flowery language that was beautifully eloquent, but she had no idea what I was trying to say. The truth was that I didn’t either. I knew what she meant. I wasn’t trying to…
