With the wrap up of the 2024 Paris Olympics, no more Love Island USA, and last year’s Writers’ Strike finally catching up to us, there’s quite literally nothing left to watch on television these days. I’ve rewatched all the reality TV shows we know and love, I’m caught up on everything, and I’m fresh out […]

When I was growing up, people would go feral over a sale. Black Friday would roll around, and news stations would set up outside Best Buy, Home Depot, and Target to watch thousands of people at 3 a.m. fight for half-off TV. I was never the type of girl who could endure the mall on […]

A gift for others…or yourself

TikTok’s hottest trend has been drugstore dupes for luxury products. Whether that be skincare or makeup, everyone’s trying to save their money on their everyday routines.

I ended my nights with budding influencers like Emma Chamberlain, Tana Mongeau, James Charles, and David Dobrik. But to me, YouTube videos are far more […]

One thing the internet isn’t short of during the holiday season is gift guides. Gifts for your boyfriend, your dad, your sister, your best friend, your cat…there’s a list out there just waiting to be read. However, there’s one fatal flaw in online “ultimate gift-giving lists”: you become basic. Somehow, every website catches on to […]

Over the summer, I was traveling around from place to place, lugging around hoards of makeup products in a huge bag. It was disorganized. It was chaotic. And tragically, it ended with exploded products and, often, tears. Throughout my travels, I found it very difficult to fit my full-sized makeup, skincare, and brushes into a […]
