Depixym: Future or Fiasco?

3 weeks into 2020, and we've yet to see flying cars and robots ruling the planet. How disappointing. We’ve just begun a new era of technology becoming more advanced than ever before, and humans just have to sit back and relax. Or so I’m told. Or rather actually, seen in movies like Surrogates and I,...

Full Circle.

Hello, world! JK JK Dr Joanne please don't take off points for that 🙄 This is my 7th and probably the last post (at least for a little while, who knows, I might come back, might not idk), and I figured now would be a good time as ever to remind myself why I started this blog...

I figured that she'd be the perfect person to talk makeup with because, well, she doesn't wear makeup. On this episode, we talk about our contrasting styles...

Before that, the reason that I started this blog in the first place is that this is actually a graded assignment for...

Going Cruelty-Free: Easier than It Sounds.

About 2 years ago, I made the conscious decision to stop buying products from Laura Mercier and Maybelline.
