Howdy

I’m Mary, a writer.

I’m coming to terms with writing a blog in 2025. Groundbreaking in the 2000s—something people would actually read. But here we are. SEO, work your magic.

I’ll give you a bit of this and that, no borders. You’ll find skincare that doesn’t bankrupt you, hot takes on why Wes Anderson has jumped the shark, and product opinions so honest that I should probably consult a lawyer.

I’m not a TikToker, which means I won’t overshare. And I’m not here to heal you (but Betterhealth might). I just think you deserve affordable pants that have a slow fashion lifespan, and many other treats.

Welcome. Click something. Or not. I won’t take it personally! It’s a blog, after all.

Choose Your Cruelty-Free Poison

Cruelty-free serums. Travel tips. Scary movies. Tea time. Tall-girl jeans that don’t quit at the shin. I’m here to sort what’s worth your time—and your money.

Let’s hit it.

The Tall Menu

Cruelty-Free & No Bullshit

I test the serums, moisturizers, and beauty trends so you don’t have to. Everything’s cruelty-free, and I’ll tell you when it’s a scam—or worth your cash.


Slow, Long Fashion

Secondhand, sustainable, slow-fashion, and tall-approved. These are fashion finds that go the distance—literally—without screaming sponsored.


Eat, Pray, Crash

Sure, it looks like a lifestyle blog. But scratch the goop off and you’ll find unsolicited opinions on movies, hyper-specific self-care tips, abrupt hot takes on why animals are better than people, and travel advice filtered through jet lag.
