This blog was named after a Radiohead song. I'm a big music nerd.

My name is Sandra. I was born in Romania but I now live in Canada, right on the border with the US. I started blogging about beauty in 2009 and have been loyal to it ever since.

I love to travel and try to do it as much as I can. I studied science and business at university and am now working in the healthcare industry. I love trying new makeup and skincare products, I love fashion and am very particular about fits and fabrics and colours — just kidding, everything I own is loose and black.

This space has been my corner of the internet for sharing honest beauty reviews, outfit-of-the-day posts, and little snapshots of life on the border. From skincare deep-dives to casual travel style, it's all here — written with enthusiasm and a soft spot for a great formula.

The journey of a beauty blog that began in 2009 has evolved alongside the blogger herself, shifting from Romania to Canada and from university studies in science and business into a career in healthcare. What remains constant is a genuine love for exploring new makeup, skincare, and the occasional fashion find. The blog's name, inspired by a Radiohead song, hints at a music-loving personality beneath the surface of product reviews and routine chats. Here, beauty enthusiasts find honest takes on everything from clay masks and resurfacing treatments to holy grail serums and gentle cleansers, all delivered with the warmth of someone who truly understands the obsession.
