Good night.

Oh, what a night. Back in January, a bunch of friends headed down to Asbury Park, NJ for the Beerfest in the Convention Center and the Beard and Mustache Competition at the Asbury Lanes. I may have lost my head in that giant building full of beer, because I had the largest hangover of my life the next day. Word to the wise--hydrate.

    This looks like so much fun! Hydration & aspirin. The only way I know to cure a hangover. Oh, and McDonald's fries the day after.

REVIEW: Aprilis Essential Oils from Amzbeautyadvisor!

A few months ago, I ordered a basic set of essential oils from Amazon. I had seen a lot of posts on social media about the benefits of essential oils and I thought, “why not give it a try?” I remember my mom was really into oils when I was younger. So funny how these things are kinda cyclical. Like, I remember being a kid and thinking that the boots my mom wore were so uncool, then years later I sold similar ones in my vintage shop because they were trendy and I apologized to my mom (both for making fun of her sartorial choices and because a style she wore not too long ago was now considered “vintage”). Anyhow, the oils never came, or rather they were “delivered” but not to me, so the seller issued a refund and I carried on with my life.

Cut to a few weeks ago - I was offered a set of essential oils to review. How fortunate! Now I can finally live my oily dreams! I received my order quickly, and I have to say - I’m in love. The oils came packaged in a little box, with seven smaller bo…

sunbathing • vintage style.

Okay, this might be one of my favorite parts of my trip to Florida last month. When my mom and her siblings were younger and lived in Brooklyn, a popular thing to do was to go up to the roof and sun tan. They called it "Tar Beach" back then. They would slather on baby oil and literally no SPF, and use sun visors to get nice and tan. Of course, these days we know that is incredibly unhealthy and unadvised, but it's an activity they all remember fondly. My uncle, partially as a joke, partially for memory's sake, and only slightly seriously bought this vintage "Bazaar" magazine sun reflector (actually, two of them) from a lady who used to be a model. She told him that they would use the visors to reflect light onto her for photo shoots. She also told him that he couldn't use it for actual sunbathing and he agreed (although he, my sister, and I all used it for just a bit, just to try it). I have to say, it was brutal. I felt like I was in an oven and I only…
