In 5th grade, with a dose of confidence and after many rehearsed conversations, I asked my mom if I could shave my legs.
She said no.
While I’m sure the 26-year-old me would agree with her, the 5-year-old me did not. I thought my legs were too hairy, the hair too dark. They didn’t look like the legs of my friends, who I’m sure were already shaving theirs. So after some crying and begging, I got my way.
Obsession with supplements runs in the family. My grandma’s bathroom counter is stacked 3 rows high of various bottles. I think she’s had some of them since I’ve known her (aka 26 years aka my whole life). My sister, at age 20, had one…
Hi! So it’s been a while since I’ve posted (mostly due to laziness, focusing on other projects) but I am back again. For now. I’ve been seriously inspired by the wacko 90’s instagram stickers so I weirded out the page header. I’m fine that…

If you’ve done any research at all you know that the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better™ CC+™ Cream is the foundationest CC cream there ever was. It’s full coverage, buildable, and available in more shades that typical CC creams. But just like CC…
This season, I've finally realized what it means to invest in well-made pieces that will still be intact years from now. For me, that doesn't necessarily mean expensive, it just means I'm more mindful about what I purchase. …
