\"sephora<\/p>\n

It’s been a while since I’ve posted<\/a>\u2014in part because I’ve thrown myself into work, but largely because sharing\/writing\/doing anything outside of what’s required to make a living isn’t just trivial anymore. It simply feels wrong.<\/p>\n

I know happiness isn’t trivial; I mention this only because I get bursts of serotonin or dopamine when I feverishly snap a photo to share something new or get to write about a dream piece I hunted down, but how can I pollute the web with more nothingness<\/em> when the world is so full of things we should\u2019ve paid attention to before it was too late? Are the little things, material and otherwise, the distraction we deserve (or perhaps require, for respite) or are they now the noise that only accelerates our society\u2019s continued downfall?<\/p>\n

Which came first: the chicken or the egg?<\/p>\n

What I do know for certain, is that beauty will keep churning out something new even if I avoid writing about it\u2014and no matter how intentional I try to consume, show me a good campaign, thoughtful ingredients, and ad copy I wish I wrote and I\u2019ll hand over my credit card the moment I\u2019ve hit considerable pan on a product. (Which is why I tend to be a few months late\u2014the equivalent to decades given the industry’s new-product cycle.) It’ll be a while before I get back into a rhythm of writing here again, but until then, ahead is something easy to get me warmed up: thoughts on semi-new beauty products that I\u2019ve been using for the last six (plus) months.<\/p>\n
