Hi, I’m Dia. I’m a writer based in South Jersey, just outside Philadelphia.
I launched Broke But Moisturized in 2020 with the sole purpose of having somewhere to write. It’s since grown into what I’d call an alt-beauty newsletter—a place where, through chronicling my everyday life and obsessions, we can contemplate beauty and aging beyond discourse, trends, and product recommendations.
Much of Broke But Moisturized is free. For $33.33/year (that’s less than $3/month!) you can get exclusive journal entries, access to an archive of over 200 newsletters (essays, listicles, poetry, journals, you name it), and the good karma of supporting my work.
