You probably never thought your eyeshadow primer could do this
I am wearing zero makeup today, just sunscreen and lip balm. And yet, I was sure to use the Sephora Collection Boost & Lock eye primer. Huh? Hear me out. Maybe like me, you find yourself wanting to wear your sunscreen everyday, especially when you are out in the sun. You’re out there moving, you’re…

I wanted to find out if the Ultra Violette hype was worth it
I decided to test the Ultra Violette Preen Screen for two reasons. First, I wanted an option to be able reapply my sunscreen throughout the day using a spray. Second, I have seen so many people talk about the brand that I figured it was time for me to try it for myself. Here is…

Keep it simple
I have to admit, I have been grateful to spend a lot of time with visiting family. The problem is that my time to write this blog post has been severely restricted. With those time constraints, I’ve been struggling to think of the best post I could write under the time pressure. If you are…

This lightweight moisturizer from Thrive surprised me.
If I were one of those old-timey explorers out on quests, one of mine would certainly be for a basic moisturizer.

Something, while I want it to basically do nothing for me still…

Even when you don’t feel like it
I have to admit, this is one of those days when I don’t feel like writing. Scrolling Reddit for information on topics I never thought of before sounds so much more enjoyable. But if I want to be a better writer, I just need to stay consistent. I don’t have to be perfect, just consistent.…

Here are my thoughts after round two of the Skin Infusion
After using the Augustinus Bader Skin Infusion for the first time last year, I decided it was time for another round. Why? My skin was, bleh. Not a technical term of course, but I found my skin being reactive and sensitive. From my first experience, I knew this would be the product to help with…

For when you want sun protection, not grease
I recently went on a beach vacation and did my best to follow all that I implore you to do (i.e. I covered myself in sunscreen). It was just a perfectly good sunscreen from the drug store, one that you likely used before yourself. I sprayed myself down, covered every inch. And then I stood…
