I did hard things. I went to Sephora (twice) and looked at all of their treasures to put together this gift guide for you. And, also for myself. Who am I kidding? I was in total heaven. If you’re like me, it can be hard to come up with ideas of things you’d like to…
While this post is a beauty product review, it is also an endorsement for one of my favorite bloggers – Grace Atwood. Her blog, The Stripe, covers a variety of topics – skincare, travel, books and fashion. After hearing her thoughts on Herbivore’s Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Smoothing Serum and the Sephora Vitamin C Serum, I had…
I’ve always loved a statement earring. As a third grader, I spent every dollar I had at Claire’s on everything from bangle bracelets to fish-shaped barrettes. That love for bold jewelry translated to earrings so large my ears hurt at the end of a night out in college. Then, we all made the switch to…
I snapped up this MILK Make-Up Lip and Cheek Stick after seeing it on Liz Adam’s stories. I love a cream blush and thought the formulation of this one was really pretty. I have it in the Werk color, which seemed apropos considering I’m werking all the time. To use, swipe a little of the…

For several years, I’ve been a big fan of Kate Somerville’s UncompliKated SPF 50 Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray. A sunscreen and make-up setting spray in one, it is a staple product of mine for a lot of reasons. The first is probably the biggest. It takes no time to put on. You simply spray the…
I love a good Sephora haul as much (probably more) than the next person. But, there is nothing more gratifying than finding those wonderful drugstore beauty products that don’t break the bank. Today, I’m sharing one new favorite and another I’ve been swearing by for years. Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser: My grandmother used to use…
Hello, hello. For years, I have searched for the perfect t-shirts and despite my best efforts, have failed. I’ve tried inexpensive and expensive versions from brands that came recommended, but they all had issues. Some were see-through, while others could double as a mini-dress. Most developed a lacy network of holes in the spot where…
