The Greek island of Mykonos has been at the top of my travel wish list for years now, so I was beyond excited to finally be going there. I’ve seen pictures, of course, but oh my-lanta, this place is so beyond anything you could dream up. We stayed in a great Air BnB right in […]

This Style Caster story so perfectly describes me! I’m currently packing up my apartment, and it is absolutely insane how many half-used products I have that I don’t use, like, or need… As someone who’s spent the better part of adulthood not wearing much makeup or fussing over my hair (I’m terrible at doing both […]
