I get asked certain questions more than others. “What’s your all time favorite mascara?” See my faves here. “What’s the best drugstore foundation?” See this post. “Why don’t you like Game of Thrones?” Too much horse violence. and finally, “have you found a natural deodorant that actually works?” My answer to that used to be, “nope, I still stink. None of them […]
Dollup Case Review
I’ve seen a lot of clever magnetic makeup cases on the market and there’s just one problem with all of them. They aren’t a new idea because someone else did it first. Dollup Beauty was the first to create a case of this kind with it’s Dollup Case. This hero product is truly unique, innovative and […]
Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops Review
My skin tone is available in 2 extremes: when I’m pale, I am PALE but when I’m tan, I get more questions than usual about whether or not I am Greek. FYI, I’m only 1.9% Balkan, 0.2% Ashkenazi Jew. I don’t mind either skin tone but I definitely prefer the tan one, if we’re being honest […]
New Beauty Products
I recently returned from Lollapalooza in Chicago, sans voice and with a cold. It was well worth it though. You can watch my vlog video here to check it out. When I don’t feel well, beauty products are always my pick-me-up and positive distraction. Ok, even when I feel amazing, they are still that. I’ve been excited […]
Festival Beauty Products

I really enjoy music in a live, festival-manner and I’ll be attending 1 day of Lollapalooza this weekend so I thought I’d share what I’m bringing with. I’ve chosen items that will endure the forecasted 93 degree Chicago weather. Hope […]
Best Ulta Beauty Products
We tend to have low expectations of house brands. It makes sense. The packaging isn’t as fancy, the fonts are kinda weird and they may not smell quite the same. Not everything from a house brand is solid but there are usually a few stellar why-pay-more finds. The Ulta Beauty Collection brand contains such things. For […]
Magic Mushroom Skincare
Mushrooms are one of those foods that you either love or hate. I am in the love category.🍄❤️ Where I live, there are actually mushroom hunters, which always makes me giggle because I imagine people shooting them. They go into the woods in the spring, find them and sell the morels for hefty prices per […]
Milk Makeup Kush Mascara Review
Like many, I was highly (pun lolz) curious when Milk Makeup KUSH Mascara launched. I’d been seeing an influx of CBD oil infused beauty products but it’s inclusion in a mascara was intriguing and new. My husband and I were on a little weekend trip for our anniversary so I told him I needed to stop […]
