I couldn’t wait to try the Dr. Jart ceramidin cream after hearing so many great things about Dr. Jart’s ceramidin line. I’m already a huge fan of their ceramidin sheet mask so I had a good feeling about the cream since ceramides are incredible for hydrating dry skin and protecting the skin barrier. This was actually my first time trying a full sized Dr. Jart product as opposed to a sheet mask. Let’s get into today’s review to see if this moisturizer was a winner!

Hello! I am back from my brief blogging break to share a life update. I took these past couple weeks off to finish out my semester. I really missed blogging and being creative, but I knew I had to take a break to focus on school without overloading myself. Today I wanted to share a little bit about my life in 2021 so far. It’s been a difficult year and I feel it’s important to talk about the lows sometimes in this blogging/social media world because social media is typically a highlight reel of perfect moments. Everyone struggles, especially this past year, so I just want to say it is okay to not be okay.
I’m so excited to review the Banila Co. cleansing balm which was one of the first products I started using when I got into K-beauty five years ago. Cleansing balms are used in the double cleansing method which begins by removing makeup and sunscreen with an oil based cleanser like this one then following up with your typical foaming water based cleanser. Let’s get into today’s review!
It’s time for the Spring 2021 Sephora sale so I wanted to share my recommendations and what I’ll be purchasing from the sale! Sephora doesn’t have sales very often so now is a great time to restock on the basics as well as try out some new beauty while it’s on sale. Here are my current recommendations for the Spring 2021 Sephora sale:
I thought it’d be fun to write some tips on how to choose your college major since it’s been awhile since I’ve written about school. When I started college, I never thought I would end up in journalism. I began college as an undeclared major because I truly had no idea what I wanted my future career to be. I hope this post helps any who are in the same boat! Let’s get into how to choose your college major.
I couldn’t wait to try the Krave Beauty matcha hemp cleanser after my great experiences with the Krave Kale-lalu-yAHA exfoliator and Krave beet shield sunscreen. I discovered Krave Beauty on Tiktok over the summer and I have truly loved every product I’ve tried from them. I was so excited to get my hands on this cleanser after it was sold out when I originally tried to purchase from the brand. Let’s see if the Krave cleanser lives up to the other products in the line!
After seeing the Etude House barrier cream recommended by many K-beauty fanatics on Tiktok, I wanted to give this cream a try for myself.

Let’s see if the Etude House barrier cream lives up to the hype and keeps my dry skin hydrated!
