  • La Retro Whipped Cream from Drunk Elephant. No comment

    Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream $60 A lightweight, whipped, moisturizer I guess I’ll keep this short. Reminder, I have dry skin. The Lala Retro Whipped Cream didn’t do anything special for me. It seems like a dry moisturizer. What I mean about that is there is no dew. You’re not ashy, but there is…

  • Three scents from Floris London

    Floris London is a storied UK fragrance house that I don’t know much about. Honestly, I was only exposed to it because I happened to tell a man he smelled amazing. And then he happened to have samples in his pocket. So here we are. (Sidebar: If you think someone is worthy of praise, give…

  • Don’t wait until things get dark to bring in the light

    I sat down at the table and ordered a plate of Portabello mushroom ravioli. I came to the restaurant after having had a rough few days, frankly feeling sorry for myself. When I feel low, when my mind is in particularly dark spaces, I take the time to buy myself something. That day, that thing…

  • Natural diamonds are working to make sure you still want them

    The other day, I got an ad for natural diamonds. Which made me wonder, Why? I did some digging and found out the major mining companies came together in 2015 as a way to collectively fight the growing demand for lab-grown diamonds. Originally, the collective was known as The Diamond Producers Association. About two years…

  • The 111Skin Maskne Protection Bio Cellulose Mask was so good to my skin

    After I gushed about why 111Skin is now my favorite mask brand, you many wondering what mask I tried. My entry into the brand started with their Maskne Protection Bio Cellulose Mask. I was looking into a solution for the problems that my skin endured as a result of all the mask-wearing I was doing.…

  • Why you have to try 111Skin sheet masks

    Fresh out the gate here: 111Skin now my most favorite sheet mask brand for the simple fact that the mask itself adhered to my face. You might be thinking, “Uh yeah, that’s what they do.” Lies, that is not what face masks do. I am very used to having to go lie down somewhere to…

  • Ebene Fume: First impressions of this Tom Ford masterpiece

    If you were to press me for a description when I first smelled Ébène Fumé, I would have said, “It smells like By the Fireplace but after it took a serious meditation retreat.” It has the smokiness, but it also has a calming woody note. I find it amazing, with my subpar sense of smell,…

  • Trying to look like I’m right

    I sped walked from the station. It was after 9 PM. As it was getting later, I didn’t want to give off any signs of vulnerability. I briefly checked the maps before leaving the station but refused to let the light of my navigation app indicate I wasn’t familiar with the area. I had to…
