I tried the Glow Recipe Dew Drops for a month. These are my thoughts
This is what I knew about Glow Recipe before I decided to give their products a serious try: Cute fun packaging and everything has a fruit of some sore. If you are playing along, you should probably guess that means not very much. So having done little to no research ahead of time, I was…

I’m going to start overspraying my fragrance. Let me explain
I have typically been very delicate with how I apply my fragrances. A tiny spritz on the wrist there and there. This is partially because I want to save the best smelling scents for some time to come in the future and partially because I don’t want to be offensive. I am going to stop…

You can’t take it with you
I started writing this as I was coming back from a funeral. As you might imagine, it was not at all how I had hoped to spend my Christmas eve, but it did provide some perspective as I prepare for the new year. The experience forced to contemplate mortality itself. They say you can’t take…
