She’s back!

Hello, darlings! That was a long two weeks, wasn’t it? By my count, it stretched out to five weeks and two days. I took some much needed time to get myself back into the swing of things, and I’m excited to restart my weekly posts this Sunday. Also, a big announcement: I started a technicalContinue reading “She’s back!”

BRB

I’m going on a two week hiatus from the blog. I’m still getting my bearings. See you guys in two weeks.

Good things come to those who wait

Real talk: I’m adjusting to a new medication dosage and my head is all over the place. The next blog post is in a rough draft, and the following two posts are ready to be dressed to the nines for presentation. This blog is intended for fun. I used to force myself to do theContinue reading “Good things come to those who wait”

Oh, right, it’s Sunday

Please excuse my ADHD, a bunch of things happening in my personal life, and this really good book for delaying today’s update. New Face Off NEXT Sunday.

Mawwaige is what brings us together (but maintain six feet of distance)

Plus, makeup can hide imperfections, and as sensitive as my skin is,Continue reading “Face Off, Part 1: Cleansers and Makeup Removers”

A break

I missed last week. I’m wholly uninspired for this week. I’m taking some time for me, but I have something in the queue for next Sunday.

Let’s travel back in time

Ah, the film photography era. I am a proud millennial, and as such, my childhood was documented on film cameras. There was a special thrill that arose from filling up a roll, dropping it off at a drug store or big box retailer, and waiting eagerly for days to get your pictures back. You couldContinue reading “Let’s travel back in time”

What now?

This week, I watched a violent coup against the government of my homeland take place live on TV. This falls into the category of things I did in quarantine that I’ve never done before. It is a wild experience that I don’t recommend. I know some of you spent the day avoiding the media becauseContinue reading “What now?”

Happy New Year!

Hello, friends! Happy 2021! Good news: since quarantine appears to be continuing indefinitely this year, I’ll be updating the blog weekly. I have to admit that I stole some time away for myself the last week, and as a result, there isn’t a true post here. But hey, we’ll be back on Sunday with newContinue reading “Happy New Year!”
