My dry skin meets Laneige’s Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Intensive Moisturizer
When I used the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Intensive Moisturizer from Laneige, I thought that maybe I need some more hydration. That is why invited the intensive version into my life. My hope was with a name like that it would grant me more intense moisture. Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Intensive Moisturizer $40 for 50…

Quick thoughts on Juice, the new release from Commodity Fragrances
I went in to Sephora because I had to smell the newest release from Commodity, Juice. I smelled the expressive version, and it was juicy. It was a burst of sweet red berries. Because it was so explicitly fruity, it feels more playful and casual. Unfortunately, because I sprayed it on my hand, I didn’t…

is this a superpower?
I cross my legs, fold arms into my body on the plane. I ritually give up the armrest to the person next to me. I slide my backpack as close to my table as possible at the coffee shop. I never realized how often I ensure I take up as little space as possible. I…

Lume is probably feeling very flattered right now
I remember well when I started seeing ads for Lume, the whole body deodorant. It struck me, largely because I didn’t really even know it was a thing. It had been designed by a doctor to address a particular need in the market she had been made aware of: body odor beyond the armpits. Flash…

If imitation is flattery, then what are dupes?
When I walk past a Steve Madden store, it is very obvious to me which designer shoe they were inspired by. Those are Dior slides. There are the Valentino platforms. And here are the Hermes sandals.

Was it the barista’s favorite song?
I can’t even remember what I planned to write about. All I know is that I wish I had brought a pair of earplugs to Starbucks. The music is blaring. Because I use this as basically an office rental, I am annoyed. The level of background noise meant I had to take my Zoom call…

The Dior Lip Oil is genuinely good
Sigh, I hate when products go viral. Mostly because, I have this thing about not wanting to appear to be just going with the crowd. But I have to admit, the Dior Lip Oil is popular for a reason. As someone who is perpetually on the hunt for products for my perpetually dry lips, I…

A very quick review of Commodity Gold -personal
I specifically chose to wear Commodity Gold Personal . I wanted to wear some fragrance, but fly under the radar. Well, that didn’t work out, because it was smelled as soon as I hopped in the car. On the bright side, I liked that it smelled like gold, like a luxurious touch to my outfit…

A good mistake
I rushed out of the house to try and an appointment done before work. I sat patiently trying to figure why my name hadn’t been called. 40 minutes went by. I headed back to my car do some digging and discover I was at the wrong location. After a long week of not getting enough…
