You Can’t Invoice Your Way Out of Objectification 😟 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Normally, I stay out of white ladies’ business, buttttt the Sydney Sweeney backlash has entered my jurisdiction.Let me be clear: I don’t think Sydney Sweeney gives a flying f*ck whether this ad sets women back 100 years. I think she knows what sells, and she intends to invoice accordingly.And honestly? I understand the calculation.

I left for vacation with a smile on my face after picking up my final Ulta 21 Days of Beauty order. Finally, it was over…The daily temptation. The constant packages.

Read excerpt
As your fragrance-obsessed big sister, I consider it my responsibility to tell you when expensive perfume is temporarily less expensive. But I’m also not going to send you a list of 47 bottles and tell you they’re all “must-haves.” Fragrance is wayyyy too expensive for that and in this economy?!?! NO WAY. These are the seven I genuinely love, regularly wear and would confidently recommend + exactly who I think should buy each one.My biggest tip: A quick lesson before we begin: Don’t choose a fra
