Inexplicably I've decided to catalog the boos I've read here. I aspire to read faster and read more but I am who I am. I lean toward literary fiction and speculative fiction the most, but I'm open to all genres. All links are from bookshop.org which gives 80% of their profits to independent bookstores.

This Is the stuff I currently love to use for my hair. My hair Is thick, Italian and naturally wavy.

Fragrance matters to me so much but obviously buying someone a perfume is not only insanely expensive but intensely personal. Hand soap, on the other hand, makes the absolutely perfect gift. So here I present you the first gift guide I've ever made. I've tried most of these personally

I have always been obsessed with fragrance and I've developed a small collection of fragrances for my different moods and experiences.

This is my actual round up of the real stuff I use every single day. I have combination/sensitive skin and I'm always going for a “my skin but better” dewy kinda look with my makeup. I focus on skincare because I'm a licensed esthetician (but I haven't worked in the biz for like 15 years!)

I was an esthetician for years and the main takeaway from my life in skincare was: everyone should always be wearing sunscreen. I've tried them all and these are my favs

I'm sober so these are all my favorite fun little NA drinks that make my days a little bit cuter.
