Comme des Garcons Artek x Standard Perfume Review

April 12, 2018

Quick update of my life: I’m graduating in May. This is great. But, I’m also stressed and feel overwhelmed. I’m in the middle of a master’s thesis that I really need to wrap up soon. There’s a lot of pressure. Outside of this, life goes on.¹ I really shouldn’t be blogging about perfume. But, then again, how much time can you reserve for work? I need a break. Oddly enough, writing about perfume is my break. During this time, I’ve been finding myself gravitating towards “comfort” scents. These are perfumes Comme… Continue reading | 2 Comments

I’m not going to live my life beating myself up because I couldn’t lose 30 pounds in six months or teach myself to speak French fluently in eight months.

Alaska Glacial Mud Mask Review

Alaska Glacial Mud Co. Mineral Mud Masque is a detoxifying, moisturizing, and exfoliating mask made from mineral rich glacial clay from the Copper River Delta in Cordova, Alaska. The masks also contain wild-crafted botanicals from the totally awesome Pacific Northwest 🙂

Mineral Mud Masque is a smoky gray mask. It dries within 10 minutes and washes off very easily. My skin is not left red and irritated. (A few mud masks have done that to me in the past). Actually my skin is… Continue reading | 4 Comments

Becca & Mars Calm Yourself Fragrance Oil Blend Review

Becca & Mars Calm Yourself Bath Oil

Becca & Mars Calm Yourself Essential Oil Blend is a multi-purpose natural oil that is used to scent baths and to fragrance rooms as a home fragrance oil. This is a highly fragrant/concentrated oil that is blended to sooth with its natural essential oil blend.

I add about 5 drops to a steaming hot bath. This is more than enough Calm Yourself oil to fragrant the entire upstairs of my house. The fragrance is very natural and citrus lovers should like… Continue reading | 6 Comments
