This Sephora Collection mask saved my morning
I have to admit, I am testing a new moisturizer that is really letting me down. But I am trying to give it a chance. That has meant dealing with dry skin, constantly in need of help. On a morning where my skin was feeling particularly dry, I remembered I had a Sephora Collection Hydrating…

Smelling I Am Her by Forvr Mood
My first foray into Forvr Mood fragrances was I am Her. At first spray, I thought it was slightly powdery, then I got my nose going. I could finally detect the slight fruity sweetness. I get why she called it I am Her. It is decidedly feminine, pleasant, and approachable. Described as an “it- girl”…

Conversations in Copenhagen
I went in to the gym to get a quick workout in. Really, I just wanted to add some insights about the gym amenities to my review of Villa Copenhagen. Unfortunately, there were other people in there so I didn’t feel comfortable taking pictures. I haphazardly pulled together an idea of a workout . After…

Eating at Ancestrale in Copenhagen
Digitally stalking the city of Copenhagen on Google maps, I noticed a restaurant with a name that caught my eye. Ancestrale. It was just a short walk from where I was staying, so I made my way over.

Well, who put a Sephora ad in my MMA show?
As the coverage came to a conclusion on the Perez/Smith MMA bout, an ad started playing. “The biggest Sephora sale of the year is here!” And then it was closely followed by a Macy’s ad. Well, that’s weird. Fashion and beauty are not your typically brands seeking to reach the typical MMA content consumer. This…

Hoping the B Hydra Serum would work for my dry skin
With the way that I am trying to make Drunk Elephant work for me, you would think I were a newly Sephora-obsessed twelve year old. I keep giving the brand re-dos to let me understand the hype. So that’s why I’m here trying their B Hydra Intensive Hydration serum. Let’s start with how the brand…

Burning a new candle: Winter Stroll from Replica by Maison Margiela
I finally put up my tiny Christmas tree, dressed it in ornaments, and set up my Christmas Village (aka cookie tins I got from Target). I was feeling festive. It was finally time to burn Winter Stroll from Replica by Maison Margiela. Let’s start with the positives. It has an impeccable scent throw. I can…

Squirrel!
I watched the squirrel dart into the street. I knew better than to try and swerve around it as it tried to make a decision. The choice seemed obvious. Head back to the safety of the grass away from the incoming car, but here it was confused. I wonder if that is what I look…
