September 24, 2019 by Melanie

Hello friends! Its been a minute since I've done a personal post on here (January?? oh boy). The summer was nice! The cats are still adorable frenimies, though Misty has had this thing where her little eye closes up for like a day or so and then gets better. I'm guessing its feline herpes like ...

Stitch Fix – Fall 2019

September 6, 2019 by Melanie

Its been a full two years since I got a Stitch Fix! While I still think that they're a bit overpriced, I figure I can try one out every once in awhile, especially because there are a couple items I've been looking for and I was interested to see if they'd be able to find them. The items were a pair ...

Holy Snails Shark Sauce Serum

July 24, 2019 by Melanie

Last month I posted a brief updated skincare routine. One of the products I mentioned was a hydrating serum by Peach & Lily that contained niacinimide which I really loved. I ended up running out of that serum a lot faster than I thought (probably due to the fact that I couldn't see how much was ...

My Top 5 Most Useless Purchases

June 18, 2019 by Melanie

Today (well, roughly) is the 1 year anniversary of the purchase of my treadmill, which aside from housing is probably the largest purchase I've ever made. I'm happy to report I've actually used it fairly consistently throughout the year and it isn't just a glorified clothes drying rack. Yay! That ...

Hi guys! I've had a draft of my updated skincare routine in the works for awhile now, so figured it was finally time to post it despite the fact that I've recently stopped using quite a few of the products I was going to review so I've removed those portions (and this post feels too long ...

How Not to Die Alone by Richard Roper (BOTM) I was kind of struggling with what book to choose from BOTM for May...none of them were really jumping out at me, but I knew i wanted something kind of quirky and charming. "How Not to Die Alone" kept being compared to a male version of "Eleanor ...
