Why I’m a Beauty Junkie: An Expert Analysis — StyleCaster

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 […]

Natural Woman: ACV

When I can, I love using all-natural ingredients and remedies over chemical-filled products from the drugstore.  Pinterest is a treasure trove of DIY’s and product recommendations.  I’ve been using apple cider vinegar as a toner for months now, but I’ve always been nervous to try it on my hair.  My hair is thick, long, color-treated, and […]
