Checking In | Beauty and Life Updates
Stock Island, Key West In the middle of this cool, brisk, October in the DC metro, I can’t help but wonder where the year went and what I did with it.

Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder is Heavenly on Dark Skin!
What’s the first under-eye setting powder you have ever used? For me, and probably a lot of people, it was Ben Nye’s Banana Powder.

Nest Rose Noir & Oud Candle | Review
Staying at home means burning more candles. I picked up the Nest Rose Noir & Oud hoping it would smell similar to one of my favorite fragrances, Tom Ford’s Oud Wood.
