Stitch Fix, Summer 2025

I haven’t used Stitch Fix in more than three years, but on a whim, I ordered a Fix to be delivered this month. I was ready to refresh my wardrobe with some new items, so I let this be my present to myself for making it through all of my doctor’s appointments over the last two months. Stitch Fix isn’t necessarily a cheap avenue for clothes, but I have had surprisingly good luck with my Fixes, and I find it to be so fun to do a fashion show (fashion show, fashion show at lunch!) whenever the box arrives.

So, without further ado, let’s get into my items!

Nine Britton Striped Knit Top ($29)

I love a striped top, so I was eager to try this on. I liked it a lot, but I was worried it was a little too short, length-wise. I like shirts that are a smidge longer because then I’m less worried that they’ll shrink when I wash them. But the cool thing about Stitch Fix (and I don’t remember this being a thing when I was getting Fixes a few years ago) is that you can now send back a top for a different size! I opted to keep this shirt and size up, which was a great decision.

Staccato V-Neck Knit Tee ($39)

This was another shirt that felt a little short on me, and didn’t make me feel super comfortable. While I don’t love the color (I feel like it washes me out), I did really like the material and pattern. I was going to return this one until I found out I could size up, so that’s what I did. The larger size feels a lot more comfortable!

Market & Spruce Twist Sleeve Knit Tee ($35)

I really liked this shirt! It was super comfortable and I loved the twisted sleeves. What a fun detail! I would have preferred this shirt in another color (I don’t love the blue jeans/blue shirt combo), but this one was an easy keep for me.

Staccato Roll Cuff Dolman Tee ($29)

I was on the fence about this shirt. On the one hand, I loved the color and the material was super comfortable. On the other hand, it felt a little clingy, emphasizing parts of my body that I’d rather not emphasize. Alas, I decided to keep this shirt because of reasons I’ll get to later.

FORTUNE + IVY Mixed Material Shirt ($45)

I really liked this shirt right off the bat! I loved the color, the material, and the detail. It went right into the keep pile. Unfortunately, the first day I wore the shirt, I learned that it gapes a bit and one of the buttons kept coming undone throughout the day. (Not great for my confidence level!) I probably should have sized up, but I didn’t test out how the buttons would hold up when I was sitting down. Sigh.

Market & Spruce Sweetheart Neckline Dress ($59)

Oh goodness gracious, I loved this dress! I am not someone who wears a lot of dresses and I’m not exactly sure when I would wear this dress, but I couldn’t turn it down. It felt so good on me, it had POCKETS, and it’s lightweight enough to wear during the summer. This was a no-brainer: KEEP.

***

As you can see, I ended up keeping all of these items, even though some of the tops weren’t exactly my favorite. That’s how Stitch Fix gets you! You get a 20% discount on the full order if you keep all items, so it was only going to be about $40 cheaper to keep 4 items than to keep all 6. It made more sense to keep everything, especially since there wasn’t anything I straight-up hated.

My next Stitch Fix order will be in mid-September where I am going to ask for clothes for my London trip in early October. It will likely be cold when we’re there (50s/60s), so I definitely need some warmer clothes to get me through.

Have you ever done Stitch Fix?

Junes of Years Past

We’re continuing my “Years Past” photo project, and this time, I’m taking you through some of my memories of Junes of years past. (Check out February, March, May, and July!) I use photos from very old Facebook albums as well as my own iPhone photos to compile these memories, and for June, I was able to go all the way back to 2008!

June 2008

This is Minnie. She died in June 2008 from cancer. She was my first dog and my very best friend. She was a beagle/terrier mix, adopted from our local SPCA at just a few months old, and I adored her.

June 2010

And thus begins our trip down memory lane of all my hair changes throughout the year. In June 2009, I decided to do something crazy and cut off all my hair and went blonde. I loved this adorable bob!

June 2011

More pictures of me with my bob. Apparently, I really loved taking selfies at this stage in my life. (I mean, I was in my early twenties so it makes sense.)

June 2012

Remember the days of early Instagram when we would filter our photos to death? I think that’s what happened with this one. But look at my nephew! He’s 16 now and has a job and a car, and it still feels like he should still be this cute little 3-year-old.

June 2013

It’s Dutch! For newer readers, Dutch was my soul-dog. He was the sweetest miniature dachshund that I adopted from my aunt when Dutch was 6 years old. He was my everything and he died in February 2018, after which I became a crazy cat lady!

June 2014

What a cute collage! The photo of Dutch was taken on the morning we did Take Your Dog to Work day at my job. It was a small office so it worked out, and Dutch did so well! (Aside from pooping in the CEO’s office; yes, I am still scarred by that.) My nephew is 5 years old in this photo and helping my mom bake cookies! And I have always loved this photo of my book club girls. We did a pool day!

June 2015

One of my favorite photos of the two of us! Dutch is mid-yawn, but it looks like we’re both giving big surprised faces to the camera! (Apparently, nothing else was happening in my life at this time as it’s one of the only pictures I have! The other is a picture of a grocery cart, so I chose the much cuter option.)

June 2016

More Dutch photos! Can you blame me? He’s so cute! We did some fun adventuring in June 2016, I guess. And I love this photo of me and Pops. This was the first Father’s Day after my grandma passed away, and I remember wanting to get as many photos with him as possible. I had so many photos of grandma and me, but fewer of Pops and me. I had no idea I’d only get two more Father’s Days with him. (He died unexpectedly in October 2018.)

June 2017

Two great photos here! The first one is when my mom and I took my nephew to a Rays game. He was (and is) a huge baseball fan and made us stay for the whole game, even though the Rays were losing badly the whole time. (My nephew is 8 in this photo!)

And I got my first tattoo! It’s a book tattoo, and my friend Mikaela has a matching one. I had been longing for this tattoo for so long and was so happy to finally get it done!

June 2018

Puppy Chip! He is 3 months old in this photo collage and has already perfected the art of the dachshund side eye, as evidenced in the middle photo. Chip was such a rambunctious puppy, but has majorly mellowed out in the past few years.

June 2019

It’s time to bring in some cute photos of my little ladies, finally! I am now officially a crazy cat lady. I had adopted Eloise (tuxedo) in December 2018 and Lila (calico) in February 2019, so we were now one happy family. These photos remind me that the girls used to be much bigger snugglers than they are today. Wah!

June 2020

My mom and stepdad bought a house in June 2020! Since they were part of my “bubble,” it worked out perfectly that their new home came with a pool. While public pools/beaches were not shut down (reminder: Florida was the wild west during the pandemic; beaches reopened in MAY!), I was definitely not visiting them. It was nice to have an option to beat the heat during the summer of 2020.

June 2021

In 2021, we were doing sporadic book club meetings where we would meet at a local park, socially distanced on our own blankets, and bring our own picnic. We would eat and talk and laugh and reminisce about the good ole days! Our June 2021 book club meeting was made even more special by Olive’s presence. She is just a month away from finishing her cancer treatment here, and she was in really great spirits!

June 2022

June 2022 was our big trip to Niagara Falls! This was such a fun trip with my mom. We went to Toronto for a day, spent a few days at the Canadian side of the Falls, and then went to the U.S. side! I have such great memories of this vacation, even though I was an anxious mess about crossing the border into Canada!

June 2023

I went to my first Pride parade in June 2023, and it was such a beautiful time! It was such a happy, welcoming atmosphere and I really enjoyed myself.

June 2024

Last June, I was with Kim in Illinois! We had tickets to see The Popcast Live and made it a great girls’ weekend complete with bookstore visits, cat cuddle time, and rock painting. (I debated between photos of us and photos of Kim’s cats. I went with photos of us, but I’m unsure if it was the right call.)

June 2025

And now we come to today. June has been a weird month for me, filled with a lot of doctor’s appointments and not feeling my best. But rather than show you the inside of a doctor’s office, you have Eloise helping me with laundry, Lila helping me with reading, and then a giant ice cream cone I had during book club last week.

What’s the last photo you took on your phone?

A Tour of My Bookshelves

Last week, Elisabeth talked about how she organizes her library books and asked us to tell her our own book organization tactics. I took that time to write a novel in her comments about my bookshelves and figured, why not take everyone on a tour of them on my blog? So that’s what you get today!

I am a book collector through and through. I wasn’t always this way, but a few years ago, I decided I wanted my core apartment aesthetic to be BOOKS. I wanted tall bookshelves and colorful stacks of books displayed throughout my home. There is something so cozy about books, and it delights me to no end when people fawn over all over my bookshelves when they come over. “It’s like you have your own library!” Yes, yes, that’s everything I want in life.

Let’s start the tour in the living room.

I have an affinity for Target cube bookshelves. I use the bottom part of this shelf for storage but the top shelf is where I keep my Book of the Month books. I have organized them by color because it just makes me happy to look at. Many of the books on this shelf are unread, but a fair number are books I’ve finished. If I’ve taken a book off this shelf to read, I’ll slot it right back into place when I’ve finished it, if there’s still room on the shelf.

Let’s venture over to my dining room, where I have three more cube bookshelves – two 8-cube shelves and one 4-cube shelf. I am thinking of buying another 8-cube shelf so I could have a full wall of bookshelves in my dining room, but I’m not sure yet.

All of the books on these shelves are organized by author’s last name. At one point, they were organized by color, but let’s be honest: It’s very hard to find a specific book when I have to recall the color of the cover. It was just easier to organize them by the author’s last name so I can find what I’m looking for more quickly. The books on these shelves are both read and unread. I couldn’t tell you the ratio of unread to read, but I would assume more of them are books I’ve read than not. But probably not.

You may have noticed that I have a small stack of books on top of the 4-cube bookshelf that is wedged in between the taller bookshelves. That’s where I keep my “upcoming” books! Usually, I have a few library books here, but I’m currently reading the one print library book I have checked out, so it’s not in this stack. I try to keep this stack five books deep, organized by height. I have a very detailed TBR list that I keep in a tab on my reading spreadsheet, and I pull a few of the books from that TBR list to sit in this stack.

Okay, let’s move onto my bedroom! This is where I have a ladder bookshelf with all of my favorite books.

Isn’t she so pretty? She makes me so happy, since this is the view directly across from my bed.

This bookshelf is organized into four distinct shelves.

Shelf 1 is for my Anne of Green Gables collection. I’m not sure when I decided to start collecting different editions of this book, but I’m so glad I did because there are so many adorable ones! (Side note: That little piece of decor that says “Stephany’s Library”? I have two of them because somehow, both Bri and my mom bought me the exact same thing for Christmas without knowing it! This story delights me to no end.)

Shelf 2 is for my nonfiction favorites.

Shelf 3 is for my romance favorites, as well as my collection of Christina Lauren romances. At some point, I want to put these on a separate shelf, but for now, they are part of the favorites shelf.

And, finally, shelf 4 is for my fiction favorites. (Same deal as the Christina Lauren romances for my Taylor Jenkins Reid collection – these will someday go on a separate shelf. Not all of these would be considered favorites.)

I would like to reread some of the books on my fiction and romance favorites at some point, and I keep those nonfiction faves on hand to reference when needed. And some of these nonfiction books are ones I will never reread, but cannot bear to part with.

The final stack of books you’ll find in my home is in my closet. On one of the shelves, I keep a stack of books that I want to give away. I’ll often bring these books to book club to give them to friends who want to read them. And anything not taken by friends is lovingly added to any of the Little Free Libraries around my city.

Other tidbits

  • What happens after I finish a book I own? It depends. If I loved the book, it might find a place on my favorites shelf. If I liked the book and there’s room to stick it back on the bookshelf, that’s what I’ll do. If I don’t see any need to keep it, it goes into my closet.
  • Do I keep track of my unread books? I do! I have a separate tab on my reading spreadsheet where I have a list of all of my unread books. Whenever I buy new friends (books) to put on my bookshelves, they have to be added on the spreadsheet first before being placed on the bookshelf. (If you’re curious, I have 162 unread books on my shelves.)
  • Do I regularly cull my collection? Not really. I’ll probably do a big cull when I move, but right now, I only do a mini-cull if I can’t fit new books on my bookshelf. When that happens, I take a look at the books in the cubby where the new book will go and see which ones I want to part with. It’s usually just one book at a time, and typically a book I’ve already read and want to donate. That book will go into the stack in my closet.
  • Where do I keep the book(s) I’m currently reading? The book(s) I’m currently reading do not have a specific spot in my home. They just sit in the last place I was reading them, usually. For example, right now I’m reading Stamped From the Beginning, and it’s sitting on my coffee table. I’m also reading The Three Lives of Cate Kay, which is sitting on the table next to my reading chair. A good bet is that the book(s) will either be on my coffee table, the table next to my reading chair, or my bedside table.
  • What’s the point of owning so many books? It brings me joy. I love having so many books right at my fingertips and knowing I can escape into a new world whenever I want, whether that’s a world I’m unfamiliar with or a beloved favorite. I love having a wide array of colorful books in my home, and the way they elevate my decor. Bookish coziness is the aesthetic I’m going for, and I’d like to think I’ve achieved that.

Do you collect books? If not, what is something you collect? Where do you keep the book(s) you’re currently reading?

Admin Sundays

I am someone who really struggles with being productive. If given the choice between getting shit done and laying on the couch, I am always going to choose the couch.

I am also an adult who needs to get things done, from big tasks like meal planning and grocery shopping for the week to smaller things like filling out my planner. So that’s why I decided to institute “Admin Sundays.”

Typically, I hold my Sundays sacred. Sometimes, I might meet up with Mikaela for a writing date or I might try to get in a workout at the gym, but that’s about the extent of my plans. (This all changes from September – early February with football season. I’m not sure what I’m going to do then, but that’s a problem for Future Stephany.) The rest of my Sunday is for me. It’s for naps and reading and writing blog posts and catching up on blog reading. It’s also for administrative tasks.

I came up with a list of tasks that I need to do every week to set myself up for success so I can tackle the week ahead. This list lives in my Notes app on my phone and when I finish a task, I can mark it off and get that little rush of dopamine.

Here is what is on my “Admin Sundays” list right now:

  • Meal plan and grocery shop for the week
  • Itemize spending and set my weekly budget
  • Fill out my planner for the week and list out my weekly goals
  • Inbox zero for my personal Gmail account
  • Clean my CPAP parts
  • Clean out fridge/freezer
  • Make snack packs for the week
  • Schedule the podcast’s Instagram posts for Tuesday and Thursday

From beginning to end, all of these tasks shouldn’t take more than an hour or two, which is totally doable on a Sunday. And I always feel super accomplished when I can get all of these tasks done. For example, I used to be really bad about checking my budget regularly and itemizing all of my purchases. But now that it’s on my task list for Admin Sundays, I have yet to miss a week of itemizing! This means I am way more on top of my spending habits than I used to be.

The idea for “Admin Sundays” originally came from the Girl Next Door podcast when Kelsey talked about having a monthly admin day to take care of those nagging monthly tasks we all have to do. I loved this idea so much that I created a monthly admin task list and played around with setting aside one day per month to accomplish these tasks. I quickly realized a monthly admin day wasn’t going to be sustainable for me (it’s really hard to set aside a full day to myself every month!). But I didn’t want to abandon these tasks because they are important.

What I do now is choose two tasks from this monthly admin list to accomplish every week. This way, I can mark off those important monthly tasks but at a slower pace that works much better for my personality.

Here are my monthly admin tasks:

  • Update my wall calendar
  • Create a new monthly spread in my planner with my goals
  • Organize the previous month’s photos in Google Photos, delete duplicates/photos I don’t need to keep on my native Photos app
  • Change my apartment’s air filter, check on Wallflower scents, and change my CPAP’s filter
  • Review birthdays – buy gifts, sign cards
  • Do some blog work – download a backup, run a security scan, update one thing on Site Health list, etc.
  • Clear out the shelf on my walk-in closet + empty bin
  • Take my car for a wash and vacuum

Some call-outs here:

  • Organizing photos – I get very overwhelmed by having too many photos in my native Photos app so a few years ago, I downloaded Google Photos and started organizing all of my photos into specific folders. It took a while, but now I just have to make sure I maintain this practice monthly.
  • Reviewing birthdays – I love this idea from Kelsey! My friend group loves giving thoughtful gifts for birthdays, and sometimes I’m forgetful about researching gift ideas beforehand. With this task, I take a look at the upcoming month to see what holidays/birthdays are coming up and make sure I have what I need: the gift, the card, the gift bag, etc.
  • Blog work – Every month, I download a backup of my blog (my blog does automatic backups, but I like to have a tangible copy of the backup), check in on any security issues/updates, and then go through the Site Health list that greets me every time I log into WordPress. Many of these issues are way above my capacity to handle (I should really hire a WordPress developer to take care of those, but alas), but there are some that I can take care of myself.
  • Clearing out the closet – I tend to use the left-side shelf of my walk-in closet as a catch-all space. Often, this is where I put clothes that have been worn but aren’t yet ready to be washed, as well as books I want to donate and other odds and ends. I also have a bin on this shelf where I throw all sorts of papers into. These papers need to be appropriately filed away, which I do once a month when I tackle this task on my list.

And somehow I’ve written almost 1,000 words on “Admin Sundays”. (LOL – I really thought this was going to be a short-and-sweet post.) Having this routine has helped my productivity so much. It doesn’t feel too overwhelming for my limited energy, but still makes me feel super accomplished and ready to handle the week ahead.

What side do you fall on: productivity princess or couch potato?

My Mundane Bathroom Details

A few months ago, Diane had an excellent post about her mundane bathroom details. Well, I find these mundane life details to be fascinating! I just love getting a glimpse into how other people live: what is their routine like? what products do they use? how often are they doing their hair and makeup?

I bookmarked that post, promising to write my own post about my own mundane bathroom details and here we are. Somehow, I have 1,500 words to say about this topic. (I AM SO SORRY.) Please enjoy!

SHOWER

In the shower, I am loyal to Tresemme products. I use their “Silky & Smooth” line because it makes my hair so soft! I use the shampoo on my whole head and then conditioner on the ends. Once a week, I’ll apply my special psoriasis shampoo (clobetasol), which has to sit for 15 minutes before I can wash it out. So I’ll apply it pre-shower (only on the two spots on each side of my scalp where I have flares) and then sit on the couch, playing a game on my phone, until it’s time to get in the shower to wash it out. Then I’ll also use Tresemme shampoo for my whole head.

To wash my body, I use a loofah (which I don’t replace nearly as often as I should) and body wash. I’m not brand loyal to body wash, but it’s typically Caress, Suave, or Softsoap in a delicious scent. And I never use exfoliating body washes, since I also use them in my bubble baths that I take multiple times a week. All those exfoliating beads feel terrible in a bath, lol.

For shaving, I don’t use shaving cream. Instead, I do a wet shave. I will typically shave my legs when I’m taking a bath (so they’re also nice and soft from the bath water!). But I also shave my arms (a weird thing I started doing as a teen when I felt very self-conscious about my hairy arms and all the girls in my youth group were shaving their arms), which I do in the shower.

Once I am out of the shower, I wrap up in a bath sheet, which I highly recommend over a regular-size bath towel. They are bigger and cozier. I wrap my hair up in a microfiber hair towel. And then I do the thing I am not supposed to do: I use a Q-tip to remove the excess water from my ears. Is this the best part of my day? Maybe. Nothing feels as good as rubbing a Q-tip around my ear canal, I swear.

Lastly, I will put on some deodorant! Honestly, I only do this if I will be in public. If I’m going to be at home all day and not seeing anyone, I don’t apply deodorant. Right now, I’m using Secret’s Whole Body Deodorant Spray, which I like.

TEETH

I am not brand loyal to any toothbrush. I just grab whatever catches my eye when it’s time for a new toothbrush. Right now, I’m using Colgate 360 Charcoal Sonic Powered Vibrating Toothbrush. I basically bought it because I thought it looked cool. My toothpaste is Crest 3D White Advanced Teeth Whitening Toothpaste. It’s not making my teeth any whiter, and yet, I keep buying it. And, of course, mouthwash. I use Crest Pro-Health Advanced mouthwash, and I haven’t had a cavity since I’ve been using it! Coincidence, maybe, but maybe not.

For Christmas, I got a water flosser (Waterpik,) and I loved using that thing to floss my teeth every night. And then it lost its charge and I realized I put the charger in a very secret place. So secret that I don’t even know where it is! I have looked everywhere. I need to just suck it up and buy a new charger, but I’m still convinced I will find it somewhere in my apartment.

SKIN

I’ve already gone through my skincare routine on the blog a few times, so I’ll list off my morning and nighttime routines quickly:

  • Morning: Cleanser (La Roche Posay), toner (La Roche Posay), niacinamide serum (The Ordinary), vitamin C serum (L’Oreal), and moisturizer (Cerave)
  • Nighttime: Cleanser (La Roche Posay), exfoliant (Paula’s Choice), toner (La Roche Posay), niacinamide serum (The Ordinary), hyaluronic acid serum (The Ordinary), moisturizer (Cerave)

I don’t do this routine every day because sometimes I get lazy and sometimes my face feels like it needs a break. When I’m washing my face with cleanser, I use a washcloth to wet my face before applying cleanser, and then again to remove the cleanser. The towels get thrown into my laundry basket after every use. (The washcloths are nothing special; I’ll usually just pick up a pack on a random Homegoods run.) I use reusable cotton rounds to apply my liquid exfoliant and toner. I bought two packs of these pads from Amazon and then another pack from a local zero-waste store.

The only other skin product I use is my pimple patches because I’m in my late 30s now and am still dealing with breakouts. WHEN WILL IT END?! Argh. I like the Mighty Patch pimple patches for simple breakouts, but I also get these pustules (such a gross word) from time to time. For those, I’ve had great luck with ZitSticka Killa Acne Extra Strength patches.

Oh, and I also wear sunscreen! I don’t wear it every day since there are so many days when I’m not out in the sun at all, but if I know I’m going to be outside for more than a few minutes, I’ll apply it. I am not brand loyal here, anything will do (currently: Hawaiian Tropic Weightless Hydration Face Sunscreen).

HAIR

My hair routine is quite simple these days as I usually just brush it out after my shower (which is always in the morning) and then let it air dry. Sometimes, I’ll use the straightener after my hair has dried if I want to look a little more pulled together, but generally, I don’t bother with it. Right now, I’m using The Knot Dr. hairbrush, which I love so much. It is so easy to get out any knots! I don’t use any product in my hair when I let it air dry—it usually dries fairly straight and smooth. (I know I’m lucky!)

If I’m going to actually do my hair, I have a hair dryer (Conair InfinitiPRO), a dryer brush (Conair InfinitiPRO, as well), a straightener (also Conair InfinitiPRO), and a curling wand (Bed Head Rock N Roller Curling Wand). Apparently, I am brand loyal to Conair InfinitiPRO. (Who knew?!) So when I’m doing my hair, I will do one of three things:

  • Use the blowdryer to get my hair 50% dry, and then use my dryer brush for the rest of it. This gives my hair the best volume, but it takes longer.
  • Use the blow dryer, and then straighten. This will take 15-20 minutes, from wet hair to straightened hair.
  • Use the blow dryer, and then curl. This takes about the same time as the dryer brush.

Other hair products are hair elastics (Goody Ouchless, in black), which I use on a daily basis because I hate having my hair down and will obsessively play with it. I use these hairclips to pin back my bangs since I’m going through the arduous process of growing out my bangs. And I have a whole slew of headbands that I use! I can only wear headbands when my hair is down, though, because they’ll slide right off my head if I have my hair pulled back. (My hair is very fine and smooth, so most headbands just can’t grab hold of anything.)

MAKEUP

I used to wear a full face of makeup every day when I worked in a office, but thank God for video call filters now. If I want to look a little more put together, I’ll fill in my eyebrows and do a few swoops of mascara. Maybe some lipstick to finish things off.

If I really want to get dolled up, though, here’s what I use:

  • Foundation (Milani Conceal + Perfect)
  • Finishing powder (e.l.f. Perfect Finish HD Powder)
  • Eyeshadow (I have a bunch of different palettes that I rotate through depending on my mood)
  • Eyebrow pencil (NYX Micro Brow Pencil)
  • Mascara (Maybelline the Falsies Surreal)
  • Bronzer (Revlon Skin Lights)
  • Lipstick (my fave for staying power is Maybelline SuperStay, either Matte Ink or Vinyl Ink)

I also keep a package of makeup wipes (Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes) on hand for those days that I do a full face of makeup. Since I do it so rarely, it takes me forever to go through a package so I don’t feel like I’m killing the environment.

OTHER

Okay, we’re finally onto the last category! These are all miscellaneous items that are bathroom products:

  • Tampons – I’m brand loyal to Tampax Pearl. I have all of my tampons organized in bins by size and stacked in my bathroom closet.
  • Hand soap – I’m partial to Mrs. Meyers and I always try to find a new scent to enjoy.
  • Perfume – My mom gave me her bottle of Kate Spade perfume, which is quite full, so I’ll be enjoying that bottle for a very long time. I also keep any perfume samples I get (I love when Sephora gives them as freebies!) because it’s fun to wear something new every now and then.
  • Toilet paper – I’m a Charmin girl! Give me the softest toilet paper, please and thank you.
  • Flushable wipes – Listen, sometimes you just need something soothing on your bum-bum, you know?

Well, that’s a weird note to end on, but I’ll leave it there. Tell me some of your mundane bathroom details! Do you do your hair and makeup every day? What’s a go-to makeup product for you? Do you also have strong feelings about toilet paper?
