10/12/2022 note: This article originally appeared on the now-defunct Kalista Edit. At some point I wasn’t aware of, both the site and my article vanished. I’ve edited this lightly and am republishing it here because, well, I wrote it, and there will always be someone who could use it. Welcome back! In the first part…

Skincare as self care has obviously been one of the unifying themes of my whole accidental skincare blogging and content creation and book writing journey.

Ever since I could read, I’ve wanted to publish a book. I read everything I could get my hands on.

That’s right. I freaking did. I’ve wanted to write a book for a couple of years now. A blog is a great thing to have, but the bigger it grows, the less accessible it sometimes becomes: posts are uploaded in no particular order or arrangement, and older content can get lost in the shuffle even…

I promised I’d be better at linking my off-blog articles! Today’s is in the Beautytap editorial section and features tips for maximizing the effects of lip and eye masks. I don’t use lip patches nearly as often as eye patches. In the first place, I’m not that preoccupied with my lips. As long as they’re…

Lately I’ve been realizing that my writing is spread across a few different sites, so I should be better at linking articles here when I want to share them. Here are two recent ones I wrote for Beautytap!
