Thoughts on life, personal essays, reviews, art, media, and travel. If you’d like to see what else gives me life besides cannabis, this is the place.
Oh, Valentine’s Day. You’re here, again. And tbh, like most years, I don’t give a fuck. I am very much of the mindset that, like most holidays, it’s stupid, but I am not here to shit on the day, or on anyone’s excitement. I do think all the pink and red decorating that one aisle in the grocery store is fun and warm. It is a nice way to break up the drudge of winter.
“It’s been a few days, where’s your gym selfie, Lauren?” As I read my friend’s words via SnapChat, I was equally excited that my friend had noticed and horrified that someone was noticing. When I first began my health and weight loss voyage, I started tentatively posting gym selfies to my SnapChat story for accountability purposes. Why SnapChat? Because it was easy, for one, and two, because that is my smallest audience. I didn’t want
It’s a new year and that means we’ve all got a list of new goals to strive towards. Right? Maybe not necessarily new goals. Maybe you’ve just adjusted the goal posts for the goals you worked towards last year. I don’t participate in the New Year Resolution thing. I can appreciate the whole “new year, new beginnings” thing, but I don’t think you should postpone working on yourself or your life in the name of
It wasn’t that long ago that the idea of me being one of those “gym people” was laughable. Like, yeah fucking right I’m willingly going to the gym. Is there free weed and Hendrick’s Gin there? ‘Cause even then, LO-FUCKING-L. One day, not quite a year ago, my husband and I passed through the grocery store pharmacy and I saw one of those blood pressure machines and I ran to it with the glee of
I remember the first time I saw my mom wearing a mud mask around the house when I was a kid. “Can I try it too?” And a love of pampering was born. Mud masks have become a staple in my skincare routine, especially for my oily t zone. So I was thrilled when I was asked to participate in Influenster and L’Oreal’s campaign. I received L’Oreal Paris Pure-Clay Detox & Brighten Cleanser and the
If you’ve spent enough time on Instagram, you’ve probably come across a few posts that go something like, “Help! I’ve been shadow banned! Please follow, like and comment on my posts!” You probably see a lot of these posts if you’ve done any follow trains to boost your Influenster score. I know I do. Generally, I roll my eyes and keep on scrolling. Regardless of differing opinions on whether or not Instagram is actively shadowbanning
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably struggled at one point or another to find a skin care routine that works with your skin, rather than against it. I mean, who hasn’t? This year, particularly, has been full of issues when it comes to my skin. Between moving to a much drier climate last November and my own self-imposed decision to find a “better” skin care routine (which included over using certain products), my skin decided
