Hi, thanks for visiting! I'm Maxine, and yes, I enjoy writing. I also love music, food, travel, and many other things. This blog was birthed in 2011 and has covered a whole range of topics, from music, food, travel, beauty and just life. I turned the focus of this blog primarily to beauty in 2014 or so, when I spent a good deal of my time researching and learning about clean beauty (you can see the results of my research below). Five years later (today), I'm pretty happy with my beauty routine and just miss writing.

So there's no telling where this blog will go, but I'm willing to bet it'll cover all of the above and then some. I hope you enjoy the ride!

I also have a (mostly dormant) YouTube channel where I've shared reviews, findings, and DIYs. I hope you enjoy, and I'd love to hear from you -- so feel free to make use of those social media buttons (above).
