November Empties Reviews

November was supposed to be chill, but it was not. It’s one of the more stressful months of my life, thanks to my job, and my seborrheic dermatitis flared accordingly. It likes to hang out around my nose, and was red and itchy and ouchy. I did not love that, and it was super frustratingContinue reading “November Empties Reviews”

October Opened Reviews

Nothing says “life needs to slow down” like posting my October openeds reviews halfway through November. On top of it being the busy season at work (related side note: if you’re in the US and need health insurance, it’s OEP right now so go enroll), after not planning on doing any more trips until 2023,Continue reading “October Opened Reviews”

October Empties Reviews

How is it already November? October flew by, but I racked up plenty of empties as I spent the increasingly longer evenings on increasingly elaborate skincare routines. (One of these days I should share my whole routine and allow myself to get dragged, but you can probably intuit its length based on these monthly reviews.)Continue reading “October Empties Reviews”

September Openeds Reviews

Most of September’s openeds are already emptied so I discussed them in my last post, but here are some quick reviews of the other four products I brought into my routine for my two week trip to Greece — and beyond. 🍑 Peach & Lily Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser The full-size of the PeachContinue reading “September Openeds Reviews”

September Empties Reviews

Lots of minis this month! The theme of September was definitely traveling: we came back from Tulsa, spent a week at home, then went to Crete for a week and a half for our fifth wedding anniversary. (This is also my excuse for my bad posting schedule. Hopefully October is calmer. So far all signsContinue reading “September Empties Reviews”

August Opened Reviews

I am so excited to be back in Colorado right now — but I spent most of my August in the humid climes of Tulsa, Oklahoma. My skincare routine definitely shifted while in Oklahoma, mostly because my entire life routine shifted a lot. Thankfully my skin’s generally been doing pretty well, though the heat andContinue reading “August Opened Reviews”

August Empties Reviews

This month is a bit all over the place in terms of empties. I blame the change in life routine leading to changes in skin routine — waking up two hours earlier every day, lacking access to creature comforts like my bathtub or even reliably consistently hot water, and just being in a hotter, moreContinue reading “August Empties Reviews”

July Openeds Reviews

Well, if life went to plan, this would be the weekend I’d be publishing my August Empties (I usually do empties last weekend of the month, openeds first weekend of the next). But life rarely goes to plan, does it? We moved to Tulsa, OK for three months with about 2.5 weeks of notice dueContinue reading “July Openeds Reviews”

July Empties Reviews

July was one of the more wild months of my life, which is why this post is coming to you not one, but over two weeks late (I always target empties for the last weekend of the month). It was also an unprecedentedly hot and humid July in Colorado, which did a bit of aContinue reading “July Empties Reviews”

June Openeds Reviews

June was characterized by our 2.5 week working roadtrip that took us out of Colorado up through Wyoming (right during that storm that basically broke Yellowstone), to Montana and some epic glamping, all the way to the lakes of Idaho. Traveling can always be tricky for skin, and while I picked up more sun damageContinue reading “June Openeds Reviews”
