Frequently Asked Questions
Sooo Human isn’t a store, a service, or a product. It’s a storytelling space shaped by lived experience — a home for the real, the raw, and the everyday moments that make us human.
​
Here you’ll find stories and reflections shared through blogs, vlogs, posts, and reviews — from skincare and wellness to grief, recovery, motherhood, and midlife. Some days it’s a rant, some days it’s a ritual (or a serum), but always told through the lens of real life.​
​
Hopefully the FAQ below will help bring Sooo Human into focus for you, and how it can become a part of your life.
What is Sooo Human?
Sooo Human is my storytelling space for connection through lived experience—where daily practices and moments of care meet real life, and where the glow, the grief, the growth, and the mess in between are held with humor and heart.
Are you selling something?
Nope. There’s no store here, and nothing “Sooo Human” to buy. I share stories, experiences, and products I genuinely love — sometimes in partnership with brands, sometimes not. The focus is on connection, not transactions.
Why do you talk so much about skincare?
Because for me, skincare is self-care. It’s not about chasing perfection — it’s about taking moments to care for yourself, slow down, and feel good in your own skin. Plus, I love a really good serum.
Is Sooo Human just for women?
Not at all. I speak from my own experience — which happens to be as a midlife woman — but the themes here are human ones: self-care, resilience, connection, and living well.
Is this your job?
Yes. I create content and partner with brands that align with my message. That means I write, film, test, share, and connect — through blogs, videos, partnerships, reviews, and storytelling. And while it’s my work, it’s also deeply fulfilling.
Are you a professional or expert?
I’m not a medical or skincare professional. By trade, I’m a social worker with 20+ years in therapeutic services, focused on the intersection of mental, emotional, physical, and behavioral health.
​
By nature, I’m a storyteller. I speak from lived experience — through addiction, grief, chronic illness, disordered eating, recovery, and midlife becoming. I share what’s helped me (and what hasn’t), in real time.
Do you get paid to talk about products?
Sometimes. And when I do, you’ll know. I only work with brands I genuinely use and believe can support others. This isn’t a space for pushing products — it’s a space for honest connection.
What kind of content do you make?
Blogs, videos, product reviews, wellness practices, real-life reflections — and the occasional PSA or fragrance love note.
What kind of brands do you work with?
First of all, I work with brands that I actually use, and are a part of my purpose of living well, feeling well, and looking well. If it's not additive in my life, supporting my skin, health, wellness, lifestyle or family, I'm probably not engaging with it. Brands that value honesty, quality, emotional connection, and real-life wellness.
Why Sooo Human?
Because I believe in telling the truth about what it feels like to be a human in the middle of it all. The healing. The beauty. The chaos. The glow. The grief. The figuring it out. No filters. Just real life. And maybe a really good moisturizer.
