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…

Don’t forget your beauty rest
It has been a long string of late nights, working, traveling, and generally goofing off. I find myself tired in the middle of the day, falling asleep on speakers, and generally feeling rough.. Perhaps the lack of sleep has freed up more time for me to be productive, but I’m wearing the effects of it…

My lip product hunt continues: Farmacy Lip Smoothie
As a member of the semi-perpetually dry lip union, I am constantly on the hunt for products that keep my lips juicy and plumped (without having to evaluate my hydration habits). Now, I’ve been using the Honey Vanilla Lip Smoothie from Farmacy for long enough to give my personal review. It’s called a lip smoothie,…

Your yearly reminder: Don’t forget the sunscreen
I’m writing this right before Memorial Day in the U.S., the unofficial start to summer when people will be outside much more regularly. Swaths of people will emerge from their months of remaining indoors and start laying by the pool, grilling all day, and of course playing pickleball and other games just to extend their…

A different reflection on skincare today
In an unusual turn of events, I have writer’s block here as I try to compose my “Skincare Sunday” post. I usually am ready with something. But I have nothing. It’s probably due to my level of exhaustion from choosing to over schedule myself. To fit it all in, I compromised my sleep. I ate…

How well does a grape water mist work?: Thoughts on this Caudalie product
I picked up the Caudalie Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist to give the brand a second chance. As a reminder of my previous post, I am not a fan of their Beauty Elixir. I found, though social media sings its praises, the extracts and essential oils in the blend irritated my skin. That led me…
