The other day, I thought to myself, “I wish I’d been journaling throughout this pandemic.” Then I realized, I have been. It has been through these monthly favorites posts that I have inadvertently recorded my feelings during a worldwide pandemic, while living in one of the worst places for it, Iowa. Let’s not forget that […]

Glossier Hand Cream Review
I’m always excited when Glossier puts out new products. They seem to listen to what the community wants, and usually, they deliver.

I love the way they’ve stepped up, not only during the pandemic, but the Black Lives Matter movement. […]
