Mugwort Magic: The I’m From Mugwort Essence
When I think of mugwort, the name conjures up dark, lush forests filled with all kinds of mushrooms and herbs. I can picture a little cottage in the forest, where someone lives completely in tune with nature, constantly making healing brews with the various plant life they find. The colorful imagery that the name evokes …

The Ordinary’s Hemi-Squalane: The Best Oil for Combo Skin
The time has finally come to talk OIL! I haven’t discussed any facial oils on here yet because honestly…I’ve avoided them. In the past, all I’d experienced when using oils was an uncomfortable layer of grease at night that led to extra oily skin the next day. Things just didn’t seem to be working the way they should. Enter The Ordinary’s 100% Plant-Derived Hemi-Squalane, i.e., the oil of my dreams. I will be repurchasing this product in perpetuity, and here’s why:
Is IPL Treatment Worth It? + Before & After Photos

Overnight Eye Masks: VIIcode Oxygen Eye Masks Review
When VIIcode contacted me about trying these eye masks, I was intrigued and excited to find out more. I had never seen any other eye masks that could be worn the entire night while I slept! I was envisioning waking up with eye masks halfway down my cheeks! Oftentimes eye masks have a tendency to make their way down my face compelled merely by gravity.

I bought the Beta-Glucan Power Moisture Serum just as the fall weather was beginning to arrive, and I intended to begin including it in my routine to help fight the onslaught of winter dryness.
