It's been a super long time since I last wrote on the blog - unfortunately, I just had too many life events taking place that required every ounce of my strength and attention to resolve and/or power through (some are recurring issues), leaving me very little time to focus on this blog. But believe it …

BBA Musings Round 2: Post-Coronavirus
But do people really make a point to stare at how well the makeup was applied at the part of the face that's essentially covered most of the time
BBA Musings: Sponsorships
My head is so far removed from the ideas of sponsorships and influencers that I hadn't realized that I inadvertently signed up to be one, albeit I was hardly active. I even got the badge that tells me I'm one. 😐
The Ugly Truth of Dramageddon 2020
If you're in the beauty community or YouTube scene, at some point you must have heard a sliver of the ongoing meltdown involing Tati Westbrook, Shane Dawson, Jeffree Star, and James Charles, colloquially known as Dramageddon. Because of the fact that there has been more than one instance of Dramageddon, I've added the year to …

So much for shutting down…
So my pops had an emergency surgery recently, which was quite scary in the sense that it was definitely unplanned and very necessary. In all the chaos that followed, I haven't filmed. And the clusterfuck that tagged behind has me reconsidering the plan to shut down the YT channel.
Life Update 4: YouTube, Work+School, Etc.
Ah, YouTube. How you used to be on a pedestal for many who were sick of regular TV. Now, you can't think of the platform without being made painfully aware of the controversies that hover over it like a dark cloud. You may or may not know it, but I have a YouTube channel too! …
One Trick Pony
Or the reality of burnout in a super-saturated industry. I stopped keeping up with the latest-and-greatest releases in makeup. Even skincare. I'm tired and I just don't care anymore. Edit # 2: After some tinkering, here is the GIF that should have been here in the first place: One (if not THE NUMBER ONE) unspoken …
