I’m a serum deodorant convert. “Natural” isn’t quite the way to go for me - I dislike thick pastey types, but loveeee serum based deodorants. They don’t prevent sweating but they do prevent odor and help with any discoloration or ingrowns too. Win, win, win to me. I’m on year 7 so I have been through manyyy. If you haven’t tried a serum deo I can confidently say you are missing out.

stocking stuffers for the ladies in your life. great for any woman (or teen) who likes to pamper herself :) these are all things i love, use and buy repeatedly! firmly believe stocking stuffers also shouldn’t be breaking the bank so sharing a wide range of options. may contain affiliate links!

testing skincare products so you don’t have to! skincare for women in their 20s or 30s struggling with oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin. ymmv but these are largely non-comedogenic. patch test always! and remember, no picking! may contain affiliate links :)

neighborhood favorites in South Park Slope. these are quick, casual, and tasty, cheap and affordable eats and treats. great places for grab and go, or to have a bite on your own. tried and true and won't let you down.
