If the Dress Don’t Fit, Buy It Anyway?

So I bought this dress, this past weekend, It doesn’t quite fit. Well, actually it fits EXACTLY, no wiggle room, no booty shaking room, and well…breathing while wearing was quite the feat. Don’t you hate that? …but it’s so cute so… I could probably have it tailored, but I probably won’t. It is like everything else in my life, it will sit there waiting to be fixed until I abandon it or toss it in the giveaway pile. So anyway, this dress is definitely on trend, with the one shoulder and the ruffle and the stripes. I think I have hit…

A Really Long Vlog, If You’re Into Really Long Vlogs

I love to watch vlogs, and even more, I love to watch really long vlogs. They are kind of like watching TV Shows, but you have way more control over when and where you watch them. A lot of the ones I watch are really creative and look just as good as any film. And because the content centers around the real lives of the vloggers, vlogs can be way more interesting to watch. Especially because I am really very nosey. Especially because I am really very nosey. There are people who don’t like long vlogs, they just don’t get…

The Most Pretentious Video About Macarons

Hey guys, since I’m trying to be more open with my audience, and since I blog about all things lifestyle related, and since I didn’t get a chance to post the actual blog post that I wanted because the photos were not up to par, I thought I would share one of my older videos with you. I chose this video because although it is over year old, a commenter named Woodshadow left the comment below just last week. Well, I guess he/she/they told me. It occurred to me that my readers should also be able to watch the most…

Have You Tried the Biossance Squalane and Vitamin C Oil? (Video Review)

  I received a sample of the Biossance Squalene and Vitamin C Oil almost two years ago in a Glossybox. It has been part of my sample stash for a while. When I finally got around to trying the samples last year, I absolutely loved both the Revitalizer (the 100% Squalene Body Oil) and the Nourisher (the 100% Squalene and Vitamin C Rose Oil). The line has since dropped the names Nourisher and Revitalizer, revamped their packaging, and they are now available at Sephora. As far as I can tell, though, it is the same oil. And my skin loves…

Weekend Reflections (With Video)

It’s Monday morning and a bird woke me up damn it!! Let me repeat that with a twist. It’s Monday morning, Feb 20th, a federal holiday and a freakin chirping bird woke me up at 8am. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to be alive, thankful to God for another day, but I abhor birds and they are here early, along with the pollen and my seasonal allergies and the promise of a really hot, sweltering Summer. People were eating outside yesterday. It’s the middle of Winter on the East Coast and it is hot. Where is the snow? Where…

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Body Spray and Orchid Soleil Fragrance Review (Video)

Here’s the thing… When it comes to fragrances, I am pretty much from the if I can’t eat it, I don’t want it on my body school of thought. Now before you picture me spritzing mashed potato and gravy or teriyaki chicken scented fragrances up in the air and letting them land on me, please be assured that is not what I am talking about. I am definitely here for the lovely vanillas, and the sugary scents, and those spicy notes. Think baked goods, not Banquet TV Dinner. Do they still make those? Do they still make those? WATCH THE VIDEO FOR…

Monday Confessions: The Vlog That Almost Wasn’t (Video)

So finally I posted the vlog today that I was supposed to post last Sunday. Last Sunday because the plan is to post on the channel at least once a week and Sunday was the designated day. A new vlog was supposed to go up this week, but that’s not how things ended up working out. This last vlog was particularly difficult to edit, not because of the footage, but because I needed to recuperate from the Women’s March last Saturday. The plan was to tweak the vlog on last Friday, put the finishing touches on it Saturday evening (after the…

Monday Confessions: How About a Vlog To Pass the Time? |Video

First off, I have to say that I hope everyone is having a very reflective and productive Martin Luther King Jr Day! Share love today, share hope today, share peace. So I have to say one thing… Perfection is the enemy of productivity. I am a perfectionist and I have to stop it. I spent the better part of the weekend editing a vlog that was supposed to be up on Friday. Can you see the problem already? I missed my deadline. Ugh!!!! I missed my own self-imposed deadline because I hold myself to this unrealistic and stupid standard that often…
