Hi.

I'm Nadine. Thanks for stopping by. The floors are creaky, the kids are loud, but the door's always open and the coffee's always on.

Make yourself at home.

Smells Like Glitter Beach Barbie

Smells Like Glitter Beach Barbie

I wasn't going to write about my moisturizer. Because there's no story. I ran out. And opted for a cheaper drugstore brand — with SPF because I'm trying to be good — instead of racking up Sephora points (and credit card debt). 

And then, friends, I got knocked back to 1992.

Sense memory is a real thing. And I swear that Aveeno Positively Radiant Sheer Daily Moisturizer smells EXACTLY like the lotion that comes with Glitter Beach Barbie. It's heavenly. (If your idea of Heaven is spending all day in your bedroom dressing 11.5" dolls. Mine is.)

And unlike the lotion that came with everyone's favourite plastic lady, this stuff does not contain glitter. SPF > sparkle pollution.

So if you're looking for a little olfactory nostalgia in your skincare routine...you're welcome.
