Every year, as summer rolls around, I get a DM asking “do you have any ideas for youth jobs?” or “how can my teenager make money over the summer?” My kids do all kinds of things to make money – my oldest has a thriving face painting business, my second daughter details cars, and my […]
As a beauty writer, I’ve had a front row seat to the rise and fall of many trends. And the eyeshadow that’s out of rotation is one that I don’t fully notice until it’s gone. When I was in college (circa 2016), I fully committed to the entire Kylie Cosmetics era. Trim the crease before […]
School let out yesterday and we are officially on summer vacation! One of my summer goals is to catch up on my reading (I’m currently 18 books behind on my Goodreads goal!) and I’m excited to see so many great book deals happening this weekend!
