My Le Labo Jasmin 17 review: I’m obsessed with it.

....

Over the past four years, I’ve tried everything I could to combat my hair breakage. I finally feel like I have a winning routine — but it took years to get there, and along the way I tried more things that didn’t work than those that did. Read on for....

I wanted to put together a post advising how to spend $75 at French Pharmacy (the threshold for free shipping), since they have an excellent range of French brands and for some reason everything there seems to be 20% off in perpetuity. Then I realized I could there just with....

You find out what you truly love when you don’t have a lot of extra cash sitting around — and let me tell you, my wallet found a little extra for Sol de Janeiro the entire time I was woefully underemployed last year. I love these heavily scented and long-lasting....

Diptyque candles ranked: Without a doubt, a Diptyque candle is one of the best souvenirs you can bring back from France (not least because depending on the exchange rate they’re about 25% cheaper there than in the US, for the same size). How, though, to know which one to get?....

Amazon stocks a lot of “French pharmacy” products — but it’s quite a weird assortment, so I thought I’d dig in and see what’s good, what’s weird, and what’s a super good buy. A trip to Paris will definitely still be a better way to do a proper French pharmacy....
