Back in 2010 this was a beauty blog. I suppose I was a ‘beauty blogger’ but a decade in, I was struggling for adjectives for lipstick and blush. I didn’t want to give up the space entirely but I also wasn’t sure what I wanted to talk about anymore.

An accidental hiatus followed. 2023 was a year of uncertainty and reflection in so many ways. I’m an oversharer and that isn’t a fantastic quality on the internet. While it draws attention from like-minded people, looking to engage with something real in a community that can feel very false, it also leaves you vulnerable to less than constructive criticism. The problem is, what I love most about being online is connection and you just can’t connect with people from behind a wall.

So I’m still here

I will continue to overshare, I will let you in to my erratic thought process, constant DIYs and new obsessions. I will probably still talk about beauty products by way of non-expert reviews and I will always be makeup-free in weekly vlogs, making coffee and complaining about every form of weather.
