Actually, I DO like mainstream perfume 2: Electric boogaloo
In my last post (dated 8/2022), I mentioned some mainstream perfumes I’d been enjoying. (Spoiler alert: Dolce & Gabbana’s The Only One, By Kilian Angel’s Share x French Montana, Moschino Toy Boy, Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62, Lolita Lempicka Sweet and Carolina Herrera Good Girl). Well I’m here to talk about some more!…

Actually, I DO Like Mainstream Perfume?
Whenever I start to talk about indie perfumes, I mention that my exploration began because so many mainstream perfumes give me migraines. I attribute this almost entirely to two things. First, almost all mainstream perfumes are alcohol-based, which tend to be more volatile. This allows the top, middle and bottom notes to really shine, but…

Walmart Beauty Box : Spring 2016
Here’s another Walmart Beauty Box! They’re “free” ($5 shipping per quarter) and they now let you choose from one of two beauty profiles. They automatically chose “trendsetter” for me, since I was at the time under 30. The millennials, they love trends! I’ve gone on and on about why I love this box, but it really…

Naturebox Review
For anyone unfamiliar with Naturebox, it’s a “healthy” (they have dietitians and nutritionists on staff), “natural” snack sampler of 5, 10 or 20 4oz bags of nuts, seeds, granola and dried fruit. I think the concept is pretty neat–you get snacks mailed once a month and you have the option to buy more of what you…

Colgate® SlimSoft™
I received a complimentary Colgate® SlimSoft™ toothbrush (as well as Colgate toothpaste and mouthwash) through the Influenster program for review. When I first felt the bristles with my thumb, I was actually impressed with how soft and flexible they were. Looking at the bristles, you can see how thin they become at the very end, which…
