Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Because your workout shouldn’t be a literal pain in the neck. It seems as if all of my friends who weathered the pandemic with their partners decided to take a leap and tie the knot… that, or I just turned 30. No matter the reason, by the end of this year (if all goes as […]

Step AWAY from the box dye. It’s no secret that salon visits are an investment, especially if hair dye is involved. And, while we wish it was a one-and-done situation, if you get your hair done in a salon, chances are you go back to that salon at least every six weeks for a touch-up. […]

It’s not all instincts. “Lip gloss nails” started to pop up last fall as a sheer and subtle look, with people using shades of pale pink and beige to create nails that look natural, yet glossy. Google searches for the term have grown by over 5,000 percent in the past year, and a we head […]

Act fast—it won’t last long. When Skims launched in 2019, the Kim Kardashian-founded brand—which sells body-hugging shapewear, clothing, and undergarments—became an instant hit. But if you’ve ever shopped for Skims, you know that securing pieces can be a hit-or-miss; the brand operates on a drop model, releasing limited quantities of the brand’s collections. This can […]

“Recent evidence actually suggests that using glycemic index as a way of controlling blood sugar isn’t highly accurate.” One of my best friends and I have a thriving text thread where we talk constantly about the likes and dislikes of someone we both have in our lives. “Someone” isn’t really the right word. But “something” […]

Hello, snooze city. Memorial Day is just days away—which means that the pool gets some playtime, grills are fired up, and loved ones get to gather around the fire pit. But that’s not the only thing to be excited about: the week leading up to Memorial Day is a goldmine for mattress sales. In fact, […]

Needless to say, I’ve changed my tune. I’m not exaggerating when I say I have tried every possible method to get rid of the thick, dark hairs on my face (f***king hormones)—which is why I feel confident saying that they all kind of suck. Waxing and threading are painful, tweezing is tedious, shaving rips my […]

Prior to this, I was a classic “clean eater” (I know, major eye roll). Nearly, every tinted moisturizer I’ve ever tried never matches my skin. They’re either too pale, or too orange. I’ve purchased, tried, and returned many-a-product on this journey to find the perfect match. So, when I was able to try some of […]

That midnight fridge run is one of ‘em. If I find a piece of clothing that fits exceptionally well, I want to buy it in every color—and often do. While this principle generally applies to shirts, leggings, sweats, and dresses, in some cases, it also rings true for shoes. Take the Vionic Kalina Slide ($90), […]

And by week 12, they were nothing but a distant memory. My love of skin care and desire to keep my complexion looking youthful is in complete opposition with my sunbathing habits—and I’ve paid dearly for this. Over the last several years, what started with one dark spot on my cheek turned into a cluster […]
