  • Beauty Empties [02] | Spring 2018

    by Jessica

    Another time to dumpster dive! You can read my first empties post here if interested. I include reviewed & non-reviewed cosmetics from my usual skincare to hair care, along with some household scents [because I can].

  • The Ordinary: Haul & Initial Impressions

    by Jessica

    This is actually my second haul with The Ordinary. Initially, I ordered a few products a little over a year ago.

    by Jessica

    I gathered some inspiration from Traveling the World Solo, collecting small memories from the last year that either make me cringe in embarrassment or chuckle at the uncomfortable situation.

  • You Had Me at Aloe: A K-Beauty Aloe Gel Comparison

    by Jessica

    While aloe is considered a summertime favorite, it is a staple cosmetic for many K-pop idols & beauty gurus. I recently introduced aloe gel into my daily regimen as a replacement for traditional body lotions, but I have always had an aloe plant or cosmetic tub of the gooey stuff on hand.
