Welcome! Thank you for Stopping by!
I’m Izzie! 🍋🍓
I didn’t start this blog because I had it all figured out. I started it because I definitely didn’t (and couldn’t)find anyone talking about beauty and fragrance the way I actually wanted to hear it.
Not the “I’ve been a professional perfumer for fifteen years” way. Not the ten-step routine with a shelf full of $300 serums. Just the honest, curious, what is actually worth buying way.
So that’s what Sweet & Sour Notes is. A space where I share what I’m genuinely discovering: skincare that holds up over time, fragrances I actually reach for, nails I’m obsessing over, and little curated finds that make everyday life feel a bit more intentional.
What you’ll find here:
Skincare picks and honest reviews. Fragrance discoveries written in plain English — no jargon, no pretension, just what it smells like and whether you’d actually wear it. Nail ideas. Jewelry and style finds worth the cost per wear. And occasionally, things that just made me happy and felt worth sharing.
What you won’t find:
Filler content. Recommendations I don’t stand behind. Expert authority I don’t have.
I’m a person with a growing sample collection, an opinion about almost every moisturizer I’ve tried, and a genuine love for helping someone find a thing that works. If you’re also in the process of figuring your style and beauty out, so welcome! You’re in the right place.
✉️ Let’s find the good stuff together. 🍋🍓
xo, Izzie
