About Taylor

I'm a twenty something happy, animal loving, curious experimenter. I love reaching back into history and trying old recipes for cosmetics or foods. I'm constantly asking "Why?" My curiosity has me trying new things. I love taking walks with my dog as well as staying at home to cuddle with the dog and my cats. Some of my favorite scents include Hinoki Wood, Rose Garden, Jasmine and Gladiator.

Today I have reason to pause and think a little bit. One of my coworkers has learned that her mother has fallen ill. I found this news to be incredibly sad and I would like to ask that you call, write or otherwise message, those who are important to you. […]

I love all kinds of lip products and often times, the more colorful they are, the better. I have done a few blogs on how to create a lip tint but I think they are always worth returning to. After all, there are thousands of colors out there and popular […]

The weather is warming, snow is melting and though it is still chilly outside, I am ready to throw open my windows and scrub my house down from top to bottom! While I don’t like certain aspects of cleaning like washing windows or mopping the floor, I love polishing wood. […]
