Skincare, beauty, mental health, productivity, and hamster butts
Sometimes there just isn’t that much to say about a product, you know? You’ll mostly find makeup and sample reviews in here.
In the first installment of my Best of 2020 list, I mentioned how the events of 2020 forced me to learn how interconnected all of our pursuits are and how important our habits can be for keeping our heads above water, mentally.

You know how I know 2021 is going to be a better year than 2020? Because it's January and I not only remembered that I want to write a best of 2020 roundup, but am actually doing it instead of pushing it aside for so long that it becomes pointless to even publish it (who [...]
