Dear Friends and Readers,

It’s been a while since I last posted. My apologies for being so entirely absent and unreliable!

Truth is, I was Completely immersed in a body-and-soul-absorbing job search…up until the point that I finally landed the opportunity I was pursuing. Amazing how quickly things can escalate sometimes. Since then, I’ve started in a new role in Beauty.

My recent Blogging hiatus was a result of taking the necessary time to wrestle with the decision of whether it made sense to continue to post with 1) the increased constraints on my time and 2) the potential (real or perceived) conflict of interest between my new role and objectivity as a beauty writer.

I’ve decided to continue, but my postings will be more sparse and irregular. I apologize in advance. I also promise to be completely open about where my opinions are coming from and have no hidden agenda “pushing” any products over another. The purpose of my blogging is not to sell, but as before, to offer remarks and my perspective on beauty news and the fascinating idiosyncrasies of beauty culture, preferences and habits around the world.
