Zum Bar

When I first heard the name Zum Bar, I wondered if it was a new type of exercise craze. (If it was Zumba mixed with Pure Barre I was so in!) But when I discovered it was actually a type of soap I became intrigued. One of my friends told me about the brand and…

The Mask Set You Need For Radiant Skin

I'm a fan of single serving face masks. They're great to throw in your bag while traveling, can be selected based on how your skin is behaving at any specific moment, are inexpensive, and make a great addition to any girls night in. Recently I've been into sheet masks, which is why I added the…

Shaving Your Face Is A Thing…Seriously.

I think the title pretty much says it all. When I first heard that women were shaving their faces, I freaked out a bit. By a bit I mean completely. WTF?! Why would someone do this? Wouldn't that make the hair grow thicker? Isn't this a terrible idea?! Then I tried it. And it changed…

Blackberry & Bay

I have long been in love with Jo Malone. I first fell for their packaging, which I came across while doing research for a design project in college. The elegant balance of masculine and feminine found in their cream base tone with black edging and copperplate typography made the designer in me cry out with…

Caudalie

We all know that the French understand natural beauty better than almost any other culture. They value pure ingredients and fresh faces. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the first ones to say that the best makeup is the makeup that you can't tell you're wearing. Their beauty culture emphasizes skincare above all else,…

Are you ready to play?

Those of you who follow me on Instagram know that I recently was taken off the waitlist for Sephora's monthly subscription box. Play! by Sephora consists of 5 sample sized products sent monthly along with a fragrance bonus and a cosmetic bag. Oh, and it's only $10/month. I have to say that other boxes have fallen…

A Gathering Place

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day for your body, but I'd argue that dinner is the most important for your soul. Too often I find myself chugging a protein shake on my way to work, eating lunch in front of my computer, and mindlessly munching on dinner in front of the…

Shea- Butterfingers!

Don't you love my pun-y titles? 😉 Today's post is going to be a quick one since this week is crazy busy. I've been juggling work, my best friend's birthday, and planning an upcoming trip so my apologies if this seems a bit rushed! I did want to get some content out to you today…

The Doctor Is In

I'm obsessed with bar soap. I love the way it looks in a soap dish, the way it lathers, and how easy it is to use. My ultimate favorite bar soaps are the ones I can use in lieu of body wash and/or shaving cream while I'm in the shower. I'm talking sudsy, moisturizing, and…

Stowaway

Let's talk about brand loyalty. There's a lot out there about whether sticking to one brand of skincare or makeup products is beneficial, or if it's a marketing ploy aimed at getting you to spend more money. I think the truth falls somewhere in between. Yes, there's a benefit to knowing that a range of…
