Ohhh friends, I have a surprise for you!

A GIVEAWAY!! So I ordered the Makeup Revolution x The Emily Edit - The Wants palette from Ulta, and it arrived today. For some reason, I received two of them. I contacted Ulta and they can't take it back, so... I'm giving it to one of you! It's Labor Day weekend in the US, and...

Paranormal storytime: Waterford Rural Cemetery

This isn't the post I planned for today. I had intended to write about exploring my new city (which I suppose could include this) or maybe showing y'all the Allure beauty box that showed up in my mail unexpectedly. But no... it's paranormal storytime again. To be clear, nothing outwardly or obviously paranormal happened to...

Hey, remember me?

I'm sitting in my apartment in Albany, surrounded by boxes and misplaced furniture, listening to my nephew yell about something weird while playing Fortnite. Our move is finally over, with the exception of the stuff still in my car that we just didn't have the fortitude to move today. It's weird finally living here, with...

I suck at blogging this month

My fellow bloggers. Do you ever look at your monthly stats, hate yourself for not posting more often and then remember that everything around you is exploding and you can't imagine spending more time attached to your computer than you already do? I don't want to spend my whole life updating y'all about what's happening...

Something I don’t have an opinion on

Affiliate links. It seems like a lot of people have a lot of opinions about this, and I'm really not sure where I fall. As a consumer and a frequent watcher of YouTube/reader of blogs, I think that the people who are lucky enough to have codes and affiliate links and whatever should disclose it...

Drama and nastiness in the beauty community

I have a confession to make: I really like drama channels on YouTube. I don't remember how I first found channels like Petty Paige and Peter Monn, but I enjoy the two of them. I know there are a ton of drama channels but I don't like some of the bigger ones, like Here For...

Paranormal story time: Other peoples’ houses

A few months ago I posted about one of my new favorite podcasts, Para(normal). I had sent her some personal experiences and she read them on a recent episode, also giving me (and this blog) a shoutout. Yes, I fangirled. Yes, I'm sad that they're over the border and we can't be best friends. Anyway,...

Attempting to make words

It's more difficult today than it has been in a long time. I'm just so tired. And not like "I need a nap" tired, but more like "Living is exhausting" tired. Dan and I spent the weekend in Rochester trying to get ready to move. His wonderful, patient oldest sister helped us pack a bunch,...

Tiny life update at 1 am

It is 12:42 am EST, and I'm still sitting at my computer. A lot has gone down in the past week at my job and there are some major changes coming, so I've been trying to devote as much of my time and energy to that as possible. In addition, I'm still trying to move....

Review: La Roche-Posay Effaclar BB Blur Makeup Cream

Greetings internet friends! I'm back from another unintentional hiatus and I have lots of things to talk about! Spoiler: I'm so disappointed with this product. I've used a lot of La Roche-Posay Effaclar skincare products and have enjoyed all of them. The Purifying Foaming Gel Face Wash and Effaclar Mat Face Moisturizer are really lovely and I...
