Happy end of 2018. I can’t believe how fast the year has gone by. I didn’t really do much blogging this year, but maybe next year I’ll post more consistently? Can’t say I did much of anything in 2018 except bouldering, obsessing over at-home gel manicures, online thrift shopping, and decluttering my space. I think I went through a bunch of mini Marie Kondo-style declutter sessions throughout the year. I tossed a bunch of old makeup palettes out and emptied out the bag … Continue Reading »

Recently, when I was looking into silver-colored hair extensions (yeah, I know, but I saw some on IG and they looked awesome), I found this informative article about hair growth. Along with some tips about scalp circulation and stress … Continue Reading »

Although turning 40 has been pretty awesome so far, I have to admit I’ve been forced (by nature) to be more conscious about taking better care of my skin. Today I’m talking about the Decorte Slim & Firm Concentrate Multi-Action Face Mask that I received for testing purposes from Decorte and Preen.me. I had heard of Decorte and knew it mostly as a “luxury” skincare line (it’s sold exclusively at Saks), and it wasn’t until I held the products in my hand and … Continue Reading »
