I’m in love with this all natural, unscented cold-pressed soap made in Maine by the Rocky Top Soap Shop. As someone with sensitive skin, particularly on my legs, it’s so wonderful to find something really pure and moisturizing like this. It’s also nice to find soaps without the overpowering added scents that most soapmakers use. [...]

I love to take baths, it is the most relaxing thing in the world. I’m slowly depleting my supply of Lush bath bombs, which I stocked up on when they were 70% off long ago. This one was violet and had silver glitter stars. Because they’re spendy and rather huge, I usually use half of [...]

I never get tired of looking at Marilyn Monroe. Even though she has become such an icon in western culture that she’s almost a mythological creature at this point, I just look at photos of her in the late 40s and early 50s and think it’s no wonder she was elevated like that. She was [...]
Wow. I came across this gorgeous spread from Glamour magazine (of all places) on Jezebel. I have a pretty low opinion of most “women’s interest” magazines, because I think they reinforce really damaging ways of looking at ourselves and the world. But the fact that Glamour used a non-size 0 model and didn’t make a [...]
I’m kind of hair obsessed lately. This is probably because mine is in need of a bit of a color boost. Anyway, I adore this pretty girl’s hairstyle. Her bangs are very similar to the way I wear mine lately, but she has such a lovely color and perfect curls. Also a great white dress. [...]
