This year, I’ve been learning how to bake. It’s really easy to mess up, but the smell of vanilla, and eggs, and flour circling my apartment is now intoxicating. I’ve been trying desperately to recreate that perfect mixture, and I think I was able to do it with just a few products. Between hair care,…

My Personal Apothecary
Ahh, winter, my face is dry and cracking, and I am somehow able to use straight up VASELINE on my face without having my skin break out…reader, it is truly the end of days out here. When I open my medicine cabinet on these frigid mornings, with all the little vials and tubes, I feel…

One of my favorite ways to sell yourself via Instagram (influencers, who?) is by using the Eighty Twenty method. I know, now you have even more questions…
