Dentophobia -the fear of dentists- is a top 5 phobia that torments my brain. (And I’m getting braver around certain bug species, so I mean really, it has a shot of climbing into the final 4.) The sucky thing that catches your cheek sometimes. The pokey metal thing they stick in your gums. The scraping. … Continue reading Giveaway & Review: Smile Brilliant Electric Toothbrush

Half-Up Robin’s Nest: weekend hair
I know the ol' Pinterest adage is something like "messy hair don't care (peace emoji)", but allow me to be slightly transparent. Realize, I'm never not gonna care just a little bit. And out of this vain inability to never not care comes the Half Up Robin's Nest. The preamble to my "tutorial", and therefore this blog post, … Continue reading Half-Up Robin’s Nest: weekend hair
How-To Style: side swept/overgrown bangs
Word on the street is: I got a new haircut. Except the thing is, as with news whose mode of transportation is usually that of streets and vines, this rumor is false. Downright false, I tell you, and I'm here to set the record straight, because I know how much cognitive space my very own … Continue reading How-To Style: side swept/overgrown bangs
Rose Nude Nail Love
"There are two things in this world you are always sure about," lamented my mother once to an irrationally fickle, teenage Robin. "Austin Karber, and your fingernails." Now 25-years-old: I am Mrs. Karber, and I am still getting my nails done. She's a keen one, that Sandy. Growing up, my mother also always told us: … Continue reading Rose Nude Nail Love
Palette Giveaway! (Merry Christmas from Whole Foods Market)
The first time middle-school-Robin attempted liquid eye liner, my eyelids swelled to levels of puffy not even sitting through a double feature of The Notebook and Titanic with a box of Kleenex while being visited by Mother Nature for the month could ever make them replicate. I developed a healthy skepticism that day for cheap … Continue reading Palette Giveaway! (Merry Christmas from Whole Foods Market)
Inside: Play! By Sephora Subscription Box 01
Life has been full. Like, capital f-u-double-hockey-sticks full. Like, "live in the next ten minutes because thinking about the week big-picture might make my brain explode" full. This lifestyle is not conducive to blogging (or at least blogging well), so forgive me again all three of ye faithful Daily Sprinkles followers who have noticed me absentee. I'd say it … Continue reading Inside: Play! By Sephora Subscription Box 01
Inside my Birchbox: July
Unwrapping this month's Birchbox gave me a little jolt of ohhh nooo because Bold and Robin aren't generally synonymous, but the feeling passed in a jiffy when I saw they didn't sample me anything too crazy. Buckle up for some thorough review time, because all 5 samples gave me a little somethin' to say this month. The lineup: Oribe Dry Texturzing … Continue reading Inside my Birchbox: July
Summer Lips: Model Co. Party Proof Brights
The Robin Karber Comfort Zone is wallpapered creamy neutrals and delicate pastels, complete with pops of deeper neutrals and daintier pastels. With grey curtains. And a beige rug. I'm not typically a brights kind of girl, which is unsurprisingly characteristic of 98% of my makeup stash, too. What then -I know you're burning to ask- compelled me to snag this lipstick trio … Continue reading Summer Lips: Model Co. Party Proof Brights
Inside my Birchbox: June
June's Birchbox theme revolved around saying yes to adventure. Super season appropriate, nice summertime samples. It's like professionals put these boxes together or something. None of my samples were even particularly rage worthy. If you're lookin' for me to pick a fight with a brand to liven up your Monday, sorry to disappoint. If you're … Continue reading Inside my Birchbox: June
Back to the Bangs
(Because I had a feeling "To Bang or Not To Bang" would get a few unhappy eyebrows raised.) Confession: I'm the queen of fickle when it comes to hair. The only reason it got anywhere close to the ballpark of "long" in 2014 was because we were living in Louisville, I didn't know any hairdressers, and we … Continue reading Back to the Bangs
