looking good
Apparently, you can't possibly have real problems if you're attractive.
the frisky
I openly discussed my anxiety and history with depression, my strained relationships with my parents, and how I had lived with drug addicts in the past. I figured if these weren’t things they could hang with on the first date, they wouldn’t be OK with them later either.
blush
While finding a flattering blush or lipstick can be a challenge with any skin tone, it's especially hard for the pale.
hair dye
Color depositing conditioners are an absolute necessity if you dye your hair, in my never-that-humble opinion.
hair dye
The other benefit of the foam method is that, once you apply it to your head, it does not move. This means you can watch Game of Thrones on the big screen of your television instead of the tiny screen of your phone.
dollar stores

cute nails
Make your pedicure look like something a unicorn vomited on. You know, in a good way.
perfume
This fragrance range by father and son team Mark and Simon Constantine is inspired by "art, music, memories, people, and stories."

shoppables
People comment on my melanin shortage on a weekly basis. When I was at the beach, a stranger told me I “really needed” a tan before I dared to wear a bikini.
nails
I like my nails long and hard, like my men.
