The Books I Read in 2020
One of my goals at the beginning of 2020 was to read more books, I was determined to do so! I’ve always enjoyed reading but it’s often been pushed to the side in lieu of work, kiddos, tv, sleep… I know I’m not alone in this struggle! I was excited to dive back into the […]
My Daily Must-Haves
I love learning about other people’s daily routines, from what type of coffee they drink every morning to the book they read or show they watch in the evening.

Skincare Stories: My WFH Clean Makeup Routine
We may be staying at home but I’ve quickly become a believer in still getting myself ready for the day every single morning. It definitely makes a difference in how I feel, physically and mentally. Even if it just means simply putting on jeans and a new shirt, and pulling my hair back; my day […]

Skincare Stories: Managing My Adult Acne with Follain
I have been dealing with adult cystic acne on my neck and jawline for over seven years now. I didn’t really experience acne growing up – which I’m thankful for – so dealing with it as an adult came as an even bigger surprise to me. It’s mostly hormonal and fluctuates from being absolutely horrible to […]
