‘Damn, this is how heaven probably feels like’. That what I thought to myself a little over a year ago when I had the most amazing facial at Rescue Spa in NYC. Only to be brought back on Earth the moment I had to pay more than a month’s rent at the checkout – and it’s even without the tip. Brain quickly prompted a valid question: ‘Can I do a good facial at home?’ I know, getting a facial seems…
I’ve had quite a lot of facials in my life living back in Ukraine, haven’t had one in NYC till now though. There’s a couple of reasons for that. First, my skin is totally fine, I don’t feel like it needs some extra procedures on a regular basis. I am really satisfied with how my skin looks like with current home routines.

As I’m kinda a Brooklynite now I couldn’t pass on supporting local business in Brooklyn Botany. Let me tell you I’m not a fan of scrubs whatsoever.

A lot of stuff is piling up in my drawers, gets stuffed in Sephora makeup bags in dark corners of the closet, or end up in weird places like a toolbox (true story!). With masks, it’s even more frustrating cause I see that ”don’t use more than 1-2 times a week” and religiously follow this instruction. After…
I was reluctant at first to buy something Glossier. A lot of fuss but are these products made by beauty editors really that good? Later when I started to notice how extensive their rep program is (seeing it almost every day on Instagram in different profiles) I finally gave up.
