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’ve talked about music festivals on this beauty blog before but it’s been a while. 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.

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 […]
Organizing Beauty Products with Gordmans
As you might imagine, I have an excessive amount of beauty products. Something you may not have guessed, but would quickly find out if you asked my husband, is that I am…not tidy. A makeup mess is my favorite kind and when I work, I make a tornado-like beautiful disaster. All that being said, it’s not […]
The Best Dandruff Shampoo
I’ve always been super upfront about my myriad of embarrassing issues. Dandruff is one of them. You can see evidence of the devil’s work dandruff in a lot of my videos and it’s just not really adding to my already low hair score. I’ve struggled to find a dandruff shampoo that works, but that is […]
