Gucci Flora: Gorgeous Magnolia Review
★★★★★ Gucci Flora has a new fragrance, Gorgeous Magnolia, and it's purple. I am a sucker for every fragrance that has been released under the Gucci Flora umbrella so when I saw it, I knew I just had to have it. Since the spectacular Gucci Flora 2022 releases were what inspired me to begin collecting and reviewing fragrances and today also happens to be my birthday, and the day I received both Gorgeous Jasmine and Gorgeous Gardenia, now is the perfect time to release my review of the Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia Eau de Parfum. Every Gucci Flora...
Kosas Plump and Juicy Vegan Collagen Spray-On Serum Review
★★★★ A vibrantly-designed, wildly popular skincare product has been sweeping the internet by storm. The Plump and Juicy Vegan Collagen Spray-On Serum created by clean beauty brand, Kosas, is exactly what it sounds like, plus more. Packaged in a thick glass bottle coated by a pink and orange gradient, this Kosas collagen spray looks like it will smell delicious and feel like a spritz of liquid flowers rejuvenating my skin. Since this is my first encounter with a serum that is sprayed on, instead of pumped, I grew curious to discover how effective it could be in its new form. ...

★★★★★ When life gives you Undaria seaweed, make a batch of replenishing body oil. Maybe that isn't everyone's initial thought process, but I'm grateful this idea crossed someone's mind.

Here's my completely unbiased review of OSEA's Undaria Algae Body Oil. About OSEA Malibu Jenefer Palmer was so inspired by the ocean, and other natural elements that are common during life living off the Malibu Coast, that she created OSEA Malibu to pay tribute to these resources....

72 Hours in Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C., is America's capital and the home of go-go music. Since I live in the Northeast, this exceptional city is only about a three-hour hop, skip, and train ride away from me. So I took the Amtrak to see what D.C., aka, "The District" is all about. Before reading about my experience, here's what you should know: I stayed at Thompson Washington DC in the Navy Yard neighborhood, which is near two major Metro stations. I left my vehicle at home (there can be a lot of traffic) and relied solely on Lyft rides, public transportation, and my own...

Sol de Janeiro: Bum Bum Cream or Beija Flor?
★★★★★ Sol de Janeiro products have become a staple in my beauty routine. First, it was the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, which is promoted as a skin-tightening body cream. Then, a few years later, the brand introduced Beija Flor Elasti-Cream, which is a skin-firming cream that can boost the elasticity of your skin. Now that it's time to restock my body creams, I'm racking up. But which one would you choose? Here's a glimpse of what both Sol de Janeiro body creams can offer, so you can determine which one you'll love the best. About Sol de Janeiro When Heela Yang...

In an effort to adjust to her new reality, Gemma, played by Allison Williams, creates M3GAN-a realistic doll powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

The version released on Amazon Prime...
NEST Wild Poppy Review
★★★★ The first time I caught a whiff of Wild Poppy by NEST New York, it made me feel indifferent. The fragrance was fruity, floral (just the way I like them), feminine, and clean. So why wasn't I completely sold? For starters, it has a very unique smell, which made me go back and forth over whether I liked it or loved it enough to buy it. By my second encounter with the spray, I decided it would be worth adding to my fragrance collection. The Wild Poppy scent can easily be misunderstood, and it may take a little time to...
Barbie
★★★★ Barbie can do anything. From driving in her candy-coated pink convertible to her career as a journalist to flying out of this world to outer space as an astronaut, Barbie has had over 250 inspirational careers — she's perfect. But in this 2023 Barbie movie release, we learned several of Barbie's flaws: She's absolutely terrified of change She's "stereotypically" superficial She's self-absorbed and never chooses her partner She refuses to wear flat shoes She's completely oblivious to real-world struggles and insecurities Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, is a magical satirical musical. However, it contains some suggestive themes and visuals, which landed the movie...
