Missed opportunity
I had a clear shot, but I didn’t take it. Served on a platter was an opportunity to displease someone, to finally face head on my tendency to people please. And yet, I stuttered. I stammered something instead of answering the question head on. Rather than being direct and done with it, I choice to…

First impression: The Skin Reset Serum by Emma Lewisham
Today I am going to give you my first impression of the Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Serum. This will not be a thorough review at all, because I only used the product for two days. Here is the first thing that I noticed. On day one I put it on after washing my face. It…

Quick review: Chris Collins Lost in Paradise
It is winter, so I need a bit of an escape. Lost in Paradise by Chris Collins takes me away to a tropical paradise. It smells of coconut without leaning too far in to the “sunscreen” territory. As it dries down on my skin, it becomes much more floral forward. If you like fragrances like…

Vacation window shopping
I am sitting here, Google stalking the area around a hotel I have never been to, never booked a stay at, and barely know about. I had only learned about it and now have a desire to learn even more. So here I am, planning out the details for possible journey from the airport, any…

Bianca Cesori showed up to the 2025 Grammy Awards, arm in arm with Kanye West. As she stood for photos, I am sure photographers thought it was a retelling of the Emperor’s New Clothes. Cesori wore a dress so shear, she might as well have been wearing nothing at all. Perhaps she was able to…

It feels like I have nothing to do today
I have learned so much trivia as I scrolled social media. And it has been so easy to do it because I have nothing to do. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of goals that I want to achieve, but I haven’t actually created any plans for how I would achieve them.…

I definitely have some thoughts about this eye mask from Laneige
When I got the Laneige Bouncy & Firm Eye Sleeping Mask , it was not at all what I was expecting. And that’s on me. I was expecting a moisturizing cream. Something that hydrated my skin and left it feeling and looking plump. Nope I think the name was more so describing the product itself.…

Donna Born in Roma Gold has some staying power
I am shocked at by the staying power Donna Born in Roma Gold. After trying some new fragrances that have faded fairly quickly from my skin, I thought it was me. Fragrances just don’t stay on my skin. But this solar floral is making me change my mind. Donna Born in Roma Gold eau de…
