Personal musings and advice on things.
Social media has been both a blessing and curse for the new generation. It’s a digital revolution that’s opened countless doors of opportunity for business, relationships, and the widespread communication of new ideas.
Our world has never felt smaller, information has never felt more accessible, and the freedom of self-expression has never been more encouraged.
But of course, with the advent of life-changing technology comes its inevitable pitfalls.
Being lazy and vain is a struggle. In previous years, for someone who would fling her wallet straight into closest Priceline store, I’d often been negligent with my beauty habits (like ‘forgetting’ to wipe my makeup off before bed); thinking hey, I can always cover up any problem spots with makeup. That’s what foundation and concealers were made for, right?
So you’ve got yourself a pretty hectic day ahead; e-mails to send, meetings to run, projects to turn in – and goodness knows those groceries aren’t going to shop themselves. If only that NZT-48 pill from “Limitless” were a real-world drug, many of us would’ve taken one by now.

It’s no wonder that professionals consider sunscreen to be a no-excuses, must-have product in everyone’s skin care kit.
I love having long hair. It’s more adaptable to versatile styles; I love how it looks under my (perpetual) collection of berets and getting that ever-so-cinematic Insta-shot where it flows behind you in the beach breeze.
Long manes are a fun time – until you start getting sick of all the tumbleweeds of hair piled up on your bathroom floor. And don’t get me started on clogged shower drains.
A few days ago I published an article outlining all the damaging effects associated from repeatedly sleeping with your contours and eyebrows ‘on fleek’. While you may, indeed, doze off looking like a Disney princess, none of that sparkle and shine’s going to matter in the morning once you rinse off all the MAC gunk to reveal budding new pimples.
