Hello all! This post will be relatively short, as I'm just documenting that I'm throwing away four of my Etude House tints and why, accompanied by a slight PSA.

About a month ago, I noticed that my three dearly loved Etude House Dear My Darling Tints had a white tinge to the bottom side to the container, when laying on its side. This recently developed on all three; I haven't stored in direct sunlight per se but over the summer it did get super hot--it reached 96 F one day in there, but we got into the nineties many times, so my makeup was compromised.

No, for real......

Ok kiddos, it's trash time! I had a busy summer and just didn't get around to this portion of integral documentation within the #bblogging realm. My mind was elsewhere and still, I hoarded--an easy task--but other things always came up.


Now that summer has definitely come to a close, here is my hefty collection of empties from June through August. This excludes sheet masks as I'm saving that for another post.

While redecorating my space, I've done some shopping here and there. The other day, I was weak and went to my local TJ Maxx, all in hopes of finding a rug. I didn't find one that *~*~*spoke*~*~* to me (it didn't match my aesthetic), so I ventured over to the beauty section.


tldr; ya girl did some damage:

Hello all! I was lucky enough to have the day off of work, so I went down south to meet up with some of the K-beauty enthusiasts, down in the PDX area. This time was different--I drove! Also, the cutie tagged along with me and got the chance to see my hobby in its full form (hehehehe....)

Saturday was a steaming HOT day. Up north, it was supposed to be 90 F something but down in the Portland area, it reached a scorching 100 F--hot for this area. The plan was to leave early, hit the meetup area and hit up 'Waji's while just enjoying the day together.

We all met up at Oyatsupan, a local Japanese-style bread shop and ordered some baked goodies. Soon though, the focus soon shifted to oogling over skincare products. We traded skincare and it was just a lovely time. Thanks for everyone who came, you all are so knowledgeable and enthusiastic over this wonderful dare I say.....hobby...?

Here's a few pics I snapped of those moments:

Hello all! I have many photos on my phone's camera roll and not enough time (read: energy) to prep posts. As I write this, I'm sick with a bad cold so I can't do much skincare or makeup related new content right yet because, y'know, germs. But, no more! It's time for content, my dudes....!


Towards the end of June and into earlier this month, I went down south to another store for work and worked there for two weeks. I was able to go with my partner (they work a different position at my same store), and we drove together, staying at hotel nearby.

Hello all!

I want to talk about something important: procrastination and perfection. I've had too many posts planned on here and I've overwhelmed myself to the point of not even writing because I wanted the post to be crafted with a certain creative direction. I wanted to go beyond my resources and create some cool things, photography-wise, and I just keep...missing the mark.

It's that time: Trash Talk, where I talk about my trash (mostly recyclables) and get that out! to! the! recycling! bin!!!!!!! I'm a bit late on the write-up but these products have been emptied throughout the month of May, including some sheet mask empties (plus a few expired!).
