I love Fat & The Moon. I’ve reviewed their products before and interviewed the lady behind the brand, Rachel. She is a sweetheart, and the products are really excellent. This ruby gem is no exception. Continue reading

Powder your nose…
Face powder is one of those products I’ve always carried with me. In high school, I would always ask my BFF Zoe if my face was shiny. My face was always shiny, today less so than it was back then, but I still keep a powder compact on hand. The one kind of powder I never really used was setting powder because I thought it was pointless and a scheme. While you can use any type of powder to set your makeup, I just thought it was an extra step that I really didn’t need. I was wrong. Continue reading

I was so wrong about this
I got a sample of this a while ago, and after I received it, I still had no idea what it was supposed to do. I looked it up on Sephora.com, and it claimed the following: “This lightweight, quick-absorbing oil features a luxurious blend of six oils and two extracts that soften tame flyaways, and add shine immediately and over time. Hair looks and feels healthy, smooth, silky, and conditioned.” Continue reading
Worth The Purge
I’ve been cleaning and purging my apartment, and it goes without saying that this includes beauty products. I have a whole legal box filled with goodies for friends when they come over to just go through. As my mom would say, “you have enough products for three lifetimes.” Anyway, while going through stuff, I came across this unsuspecting gem. Continue reading
GONGED SO HARD
I really love YOGA. I’ve been practicing yoga for 15 years, studied vinyasa, and became a teacher and then found Kundalini Yoga– which completely changed my life- it was the yoga I’d been searching for. Continue reading
Sleep on It
File under lazy. I like skincare that is not a process. The Clarisonic, while excellent, was too much of a thing. If I’m going to use any electrical device near my face on the daily, it’s going to be my Sonicare. Continue reading

A Good Foundation || Part Four
At this point at had been trying to get to the bottom of this perplexing foundation problem for about a month. I reached out to two members of the tribal council, Zoe and Allison. Both recommended things I had already tried, so I was sort of back at GO. Interestingly, they both shared what they were using, Laura Mercier Mineral Powder and Bare Minerals Foundation respectively, both mineral powder foundations. They each had awesome things to say about staying power and coverage. Nevertheless, I was still hesitant because I had used mineral powder foundation in the past from Bare Minerals both original and matte with results that were rather mask like and prompted comments from friends along the lines of “Oh, you look great, wearing makeup today, huh?” Really, not what I want to hear, I don’t ever want my makeup to be obvious or a conversation starter. So I found myself in a Sephora.
