It's not often that I find myself in a place to say that Facebook changed my entire existence, but apparently that's the mindfuck in which we find ourselves cause ~2022~.I don't talk about it a ton, mostly because who needs to hear it from another rando on the internet, but I workout. Consistently and maybe often (depending on your definition of often) both because Trump's election in 2016 fucked...

Since I'm about to start a new read for 2022 (yeah, right), I thought it would be worth my while to at least pretend I had been consistently reviewing books throughout the year by creating a wrap up. Between new-to-me and re-reads I finished 58 books in 2021. Nowhere near my best but also not as bad as 2020.  What's probably most surprising looking at this collage is how many books were just...

 Well y'all, we've reached the end of another year, and another clothing resolution wrap-up.My intentions were to catalog my wardrobe with the SmartCloset app, and buy no more than 60 individual clothing items. The TLDR of the SC story is I like uniformity in projects that ask for pictures and it became impossible. Every time I tried to attack a section it was hours of Googling for product photos...

I know that things have been very makeup heavy around here lately, and I'll go back to outfit/other content eventually, but please indulge me while I introduce another new to me brand, Half Caked!(And yes, I felt pretty much compelled to do a photo shoot with my childhood Polly Pockets, have you LOOKED AT THAT PACKAGING?!)Half Caked Candy Paint Lip & Cheek Tint, $8-$9Now normally I wouldn't buy...

Long time no blog! I'm not going to apologize really, it's 2021 and my sense of hope and/or optimism is rapidly fading. BUT. What hasn't faded is my desire to provide accurate swatches on the internet that are easily accessible to other Brown skin girls, because when I want to buy a new-to-me product blog posts are my ride or die. Which is why today we're going to do a quick run down of a handful...

I'm not sure what it says about me or my intelligence that I didn't think about writing this post sooner. Especially since (to be honest) I bought two of these after being inspired by all the hype around one. Oh well, c'est la vie, because today friends, we're talking about honey masks. What is a honey mask? I think it's best described not only by the prevalence of honey in the formula, but by the...

 Could I spend Friday Book Club talking about more than one book? Yes, absolutely. I may in fact immediately do a February post for a few of the other ones I've finished lately, but today all I really want to talk about is Mikoto and the Reaver Village. (And I'm switching the stylistic font choices of this series temporarily, because I can't imagine anyone wants to read a billion paragraphs in...
