I've found renewed purpose in life by volunteering my time with my local animal rescue, and it is something that I've really invested myself into in a way that I don't think I've done in anything in years and years. As I wrote in my open letter last month, volunteering helped me tremendously to work...
There are not enough words to convey how thankful I am to have had so many dear readers frequent Temptalia over the last 17 years. There have been times where all of you have kept me going and moments where even just the kind words of a single reader was enough to make my whole day. I have to send a...
I'm excited to introduce something that I've been working on with the Temptalia team to bring this concept to life! We just launched Adoptle, which is a quick game where you have six guesses to figure out the name of that day's adoptable pet. Each day, at 9PM PT/midnight ET, a new,...
You've probably heard of Wordle by now, and you've probably come across at least one variation on it as well... and hubby and I have been pondering about some sort of easy-to-play, guessing-style game, which we have now launched! We call it Concludle. :)
It's a blend of trivia, guessing, and...
Danessa Myricks Celebration Colorfix Metallic ($18.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a soft, medium bronze with moderate warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had opaque pigmentation with little product to get there with a quick dry down that blended out fairly readily, but it only...

Mellan was born on Christmas Eve, and if there was one birthday I got excited to celebrate, it was always his. It is hard to imagine a Christmas Eve that'll go by in the future where it doesn't end up being a day we reminisce about one of the greatest doggos to ever live. It's almost a year since we...
Happy Sunday! I just wanted to say another thank you so much to everyone who has been so supportive of my Sydney Grace collaboration. As my personal way to celebrate, I've gone back to vivid hair color as an ode to the colors of the collaboration (hair done by Lauren Krech, I paid in full my service,...
I hope you'll join me in giving a warm welcome to the newest member of the Temptalia family: Winston Wiggleston! He arrived to his fur-ever home last Tuesday, and we've been enjoying the warmth and life he brings to our home while also adjusting to having a puppy in our lives again. It's been 13...
The Sydney Grace x Temptalia Collection is coming together and moving along at a steady pace! I just received packaging samples yesterday (we'll be removing the names from the front of the palettes when they go into mass production; the names appear on the spine), and it's so amazing to see the three...
We said goodbye to Magellan this afternoon and wished him every happiness as he crossed over the rainbow bridge.
This is not a post I ever wanted to write, and it's definitely not the post I expected to write today or any time soon. Magellan was doing as well as he has been--wiggling and wanting to...
