The Endless Chase For the Glow
I believed myself immune to advertising since most of it is novelty items. I learned to not be impulsive when I made purging my closet a part of my life and realized the wasted, unused items stuffed in a corner were often these emotional purchases. I was past the "low hanging fruit" phase of my shopping love and believed that being discerning will lead to savings and better choices.

Killing the Draconian Pollutants with Olaplex Home Care Redeemer- What’s the Secret?
It’s often said that the exterior expression speaks volumes about the inner harmony of an individual, and hair care cannot be separated from it. In the present times, we women have to deal with the barbarous environmental aura which can be a major turn-off for our natural hair bonds. The continuous decline of the air quality index and depletion of the natural UV filter (the ozone layer) is a serious cause of concern for your hair strands.

My Slow Embrace with Online Shopping
I was a seriously late bloomer when it came to online shopping. Even before being adopted by the masses I had a nagging hesitancy that began with an image of imaginary people inside my computer waiting to steal my information. Once I comfortably convinced myself it was safe I made my first online purchase which resulted in my first online return. My distain for doing things more than once helped further wain my enthusiasm for online shopping - not to mention the added benefits of printing return labels, packing boxes and visits to the post office. I happily returned to brick and mortar stores where I could touch, feel and thoroughly evaluate items before purchasing, once. Then a pandemic hit, my toilet paper ran out I was literally forced to reconsider the benefits of online shopping. Slowly but surely and one purchase at a time I became more comfortable shopping online and ultimately came to appreciate the conveniences. I am proud to say that I have come full circle within one year. Although I only order from large, well known websites and the list of things I will not order online is long, I can honestly say I am comfortable shopping online. Given my complicated history with online shopping the number of times social media has been powerful enough to sway my behavior or spark a purchase for something I did not need has been extremely rare.

One Product Made My Life Go Green
The pleas for us all to “go green” have been everywhere for years. On TV, on billboards, in movies, in political debate, and yes, on our social media feeds. As a vegetarian, I thought I was already pretty thoughtful about using green products, but it turns out I was actually clueless.

Pore vacuums - are they worth the hype?
A little background I'm not going to lie. I'm a bit of a sucker for skincare. I wish I could say it was the fancy, professional kind, but no, I can't afford that. So I go for the quick fix - the fads. I can't help myself. I want to be ageless and flawless forever, please, but on a budget please. I'm a sucker for a pore strip, an at-home face mask, micro-needling, face, and body brushing, silicone pads. You name it, I've ordered it.

TULA will FULA
If I see one more influencer tout TULA Skin Care I’m going to throw my phone out of the window into the dismal abyss below. Sure, the premise is good. Probiotic skincare made with superfoods? Yes, please! #EmbraceYourSkin, love that hashtag! The aqua colored bottles, jars, and tubes are eye-pleasers for sure! They also don't add any icky stuff, TULA is formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil and petroleum, formaldehyde, triclosan, retinol, gluten, and fragrance.
