I've been called “eclectic” and “a walking fashion statement” since I was in middle school. People stop me on the street asking where I got my clothes, receive praise from coworkers, and begged to be a shopping buddy. I just wear what I like. Maybe I can give you some inspiration with this list.

You're not alone. I have Fibromyalgia and some doctors think Lupus as well. It's been a long and lonely 17-year journey to get diagnosed. But I don't feel alone anymore thanks to these resources.

I'm pretty sure I have the most sensitive skin in the world. I think some brands don't actually know what sensitive skin is when they label their products. These brands get it.

My family has lived in DC for generations. And while this city has changed significantly since I was a kid, these are my favorite places in the city I call home — old and new.

I've been drinking coffee since high school. I'll blow out my adrenals so you don't have to. Keep checking because my list favorite coffee shops, brands, and subscriptions is evergrowing.

It's hard to keep my sensitive skin happy. But I LOVE makeup. This is my tried and true list of favorites.
