3 Things to do Slower

3 Things To Do Slower

I am turning 28 next month. Even as I type this I find it hard to believe. Not because I’m terrified of getting old, but because on the one hand, I feel like I’ve lived through at least three lifetimes, and on the other, it’s like “holy shit I’m almost 30, when did this happen??” I thought that I’d have everything figured by now. And I don’t. I’m not even close. And that’s okay. There are two days in a year that usually…

So, it goes something like this; you know you need to get something important done, but you don’t do it right away. You first check your email, then your Instagram feed, next thing you know it’s two hours later and you find yourself watching cat videos on YouTube.  Meh, I’ll just do it tomorrow.

Lovin’ Lately

This month’s Lovin’ Lately is a little.. well.. late, BUT it’s filled with a ton of things I love, including one of THE best hydrating face masks I’ve tried in a long time. I briefly talked about Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser in this post. It’s one of my favorite cleansers at the moment and I love using this as part of my double-cleanse routine (especially after using the Akwi Cleanser*). Wish this came in a bigger bottle because I can’t…
