Review: Paula’s Choice Advanced Pore Perfecting Kit

Hello! Almost exactly two months ago I made my first purchase from Paula’s Choice! I’ve heard about Paula’s Choice for years honestly. There were always rumblings about the brand, but never really went as far to look into it much. I’ve been currently wedding planning  (hoping to move forward with my extreme micro wedding end of July) and I’ve been looking at my skin more closely than ever. Under my left eye since quarantine started, I’ve had these three pretty massive milia spots. Let me be clear in that I have NOT been diagnosed by a dermatologist, but from my own self research this seems to be the most likely thing. I wanted to try and get rid of these and in my research Paula’s Choice came up a lot!

Review: Evive Nutrition Smoothies and Lunches

I know COVID has changed a lot about every day life, but one thing that hasn’t changed for me, is scrambling for a breakfast. I literally used take a yogurt cup each morning for I think two years straight. During work from home, I’ve been sleeping in later, which means I’m still scrambling for something to eat. When Evive Nutrition reached out to me offering to send their smoothie cubes and lunches, I was ecstatic! Finally! A (potential) answer to my lazy and uninspired mornings! I was ready!

Hello there! It’s been a while since I wrote a more personal post. The last month or so has been a bit of a whirlwind and I’ve just really wanted to get my thoughts down on it all. We have some very exciting news to announce in that we adopted another cat, Nicky! The road hasn’t been typical or straight at all with our new little guy. After this post and knowing our history with cats (you can read my 2019 post on our cats), you’ll be saying, wow, she really knows how to pick ’em…

First Impressions: Urban Decay Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator

I find myself always looking for new foundation as I feel like my skin is constantly in flux. In my later teens and earlier twenties, I found my skin impossibly oily. Now I’m definitely more combo-normal, and leaning dry in the winter. This new Urban Decay launch really intrigued me as they were marketing it to all skin types. With winter in full force, I thought I’d give it a try!

Review: Bruush Electronic Toothbrush

bruush review

With 2020 being the year it has been I’ll be honest, I think it’s been close to a year since I’ve been to the dentist. It was perfect timing when I was sent the Bruush Electronic Toothbrush to try. I have never consistently used an electronic toothbrush. When I lived with my parents they had one (it was this one that had these interchangeable heads for each person) but it never caught on for me. I was very curious to see how this one would compare!

Haul: Innisfree for the First Time

innisfree haul

Hello! I recently had to venture to the mall to return something at Sephora which had an innisfree store right beside. I’ve been mostly fully quarantined since end of March other than seeing my immediate family. This trip to the mall was very rare and very far between, and with it being right beside, I thought I would take advantage. I mapped out exactly what I wanted before hand so  I could get in and get out really quick. I thought I’d share what I picked up!
