My Fall Makeup Routine!

Before I dive into Jack-O-Lanterns, horror movies, and some Halloween-inspired baking in the coming days ahead, I thought today would be the perfect opportunity to share one of my seasonal ‘Makeup Collection’ posts so I could highlight some recent restocks and limited edition collaborations I have been loving and living for since the early days […]

A Few of My Favorite Things: August 2024

One of my favorite things about staying with Troy at his apartment in Orange County, other than spending quality time with him (obviously!) is that there are so many pristine common areas in his building where I can stretch out, relax, and either catch some sun or get some work and writing done.
