Clearing things up with the Innisfree clay mask
“Your face looks different, like there’s’ different colors. There’s definitely blush and a pore-minimizing product.” “OMG! You think I have a pore minimizing product on?!” The truth was that I had only put on some blush and concealer under my eyes, no complexion product. I went to the mirror and noticed that yes, my pores…

A visit to the Elorea flagship
Something about me. Anytime I need to go somewhere new, I take time to zoom into the area on Google Maps. As I planned my trip to New York, I saw the word Elorea on my screen. Of course, I needed to know more, did some digging, and found out it was a fragrance store.…

It was supposed to be an ordinary day. I tuned in to So You Think You Can Dance along with a large portion of America. The dancing competition show captivated me so I had to see what each of the partners had planned as they worked hard to stay in the running. And there was…

I should do this
I had the opportunity this weekend to lead a workshop. I put people in groups, I facilitated conversations, I felt like myself again. I knew I enjoyed doing that, but I hadn’t had the chance to do it in so long. In the book, Designing Your Life, the authors talk about paying attention to the…

I tried the Augustinus Bader Skin Infusion on my face. This is what happened for me.
Curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to try the Augustinus Bader Skin Infusion for myself. This is a four-week bootcamp for your skin.

First sniff of Bella Hadid’s new fragrances
I was in Ulta the other day and got a chance to smell Bella Hadid’s new line of fragrances, Orebella. There were four in the collection. Salted Muse, Night Cap, Blooming Fire, and Window2Soul. From what I could tell, based on the display, they intended Nightcap to be the big seller. It smelled quite gingery,…

All it takes is a choice
He quickly said, “I wish I could go on trips like that.” I replied, “All it takes is a choice.” Could you be living your dream life now, or are you content to just dream about it? Can you afford to go on that vacation now cut choose to keep putting it off? Be honest…
