As I mentioned, the 'Signature Bag' comes with every first order and MERIT offers free shipping on orders over $40 and free returns. It's an easy way to test out their products without stressin'. The book I had to look up was, "Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence" by Joe Dominguez (Author), Vicki Robin (Author). I highly recommend it!

I acknowledge in Milwaukee that I live and work on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Menominee homeland along the southwest shores of Michigami, North America’s largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin’s sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida and Mohican nations remain present. usdac.us/nativ...
∞ BLACK LIVES MATTER
blacklivesmatt...
I am taking small but crucial steps on an antiracist journey to reflect on my personal biases, (re)educate myself, and listen to the BIPoC community. This begins with acknowledging my white-adjacent privilege and by stating that I am an ally. I hear you, I see you, I am with you.
∞ DISCLOSURES
I am not a makeup artist and all comments and opinions are wholly my own. This is simply a relaxing space where I share lifestyle, beauty, and art.

I read Your Money or Your Life back in the early 90's. That book literally saved me from taking a job that would have put my life on a miserable trajectory. 10 years later, I used principles from this book to make decisions about my house purchase. I recommend it often.

This is really helpful! I took some notes as I really want to change my relationship with makeup and my collection size. It’s been really informative, thank you :)

I’ve been working for a popular cosmetic company for 20 years and have been a makeup artist. So you can imagine the amount of makeup I’ve had. I lost it all in a house fire and though I could have restocked from the company I work for (with discount and all) … I’ve decided to be minimalistic and will go with merit beauty.

I love your style and approach to makeup. I wanted to buy some of the products you use, but unfortunately they don’t sell them where I live. I guess I’ll have to travel to the US to buy them. 😂😂

I just found you! I need to purge!!!
