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 fragrance and skincare, to wellness and weight loss, to grief and recovery, to motherhood and midlife.
Some days it’s a rant, some days it’s 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 I share stories of scents, skincare, self acceptance and real life — from the glow ups to the grief, and everything in between — shared with humor and heart.
Are you selling something?
There is nothing “Sooo Human” to buy. I share stories, experiences, and products I genuinely love — sometimes in partnership with brands, sometimes not. I showcase carefully curated products and brands that I love and use, and make them available for purchase through my Shop My storefront. I also sell perfumes from my collection that I no longer use through my Mercari page.
Why do you talk so much about skincare?
Aside from it being one of my love languages (the other fragrance of course) — skincare is self-care. It’s not about chasing perfection or vanity, well maybe a little vanity, but it’s really 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 49-year-old 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. I am NOT an influencer, nor am I seeking to be one. 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?
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, those are the brands I work with.
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.
