Hello again! It’s been a while. We went on a 2.5 week “working roadtrip” and I had truly intended to continue writing, since part of the goal was to see if we could manage a “digital nomad” lifestyle while keeping up with our day-to-day. Suffice it to say that making travel days on weekends kindContinue reading “June Empties Reviews”

May Openeds Reviews
May seemed to be the one month of spring we got this year in Colorado — everything went from dry and windy in April to lush and green, and next month will certainly be back to dry and windy but 30 degrees (Fahrenheit) warmer than in April. May was a weird month for me onContinue reading “May Openeds Reviews”
May Empties Reviews
Colorado decided to mostly skip spring and my skincare routine seems to have done the same — May feels more like I’ve been emptying winter products than working my way through seasonal products. May has thankfully been more rainy and less windy, so my skin has been feeling a lot less dehydrated and uncomfortable. CheckContinue reading “May Empties Reviews”
Skincare Experience: Getting a HydraFacial
It’s no secret that I love me some self-care: I run a skincare blog, I run a skincare group, I bathe so often I occasionally wreck my skin barrier, and I recently invested in a monthly massage package at a local day spa. In my effort to be a high-functioning adult human less and aContinue reading “Skincare Experience: Getting a HydraFacial”
Skincare How To: Starting a Retinoid
If you’ve been getting at all into skincare, you might be wondering about starting some sort of retinoid, be it retinol, retinal, adapalene or tretinoin. I will admit I was wary of using retinol for a long time, but now I use it nearly daily! Assuming you already know what’s what, jump right into theContinue reading “Skincare How To: Starting a Retinoid”
April Openeds Reviews
April was rough in Colorado — the whole time, it was so windy I barely emerged from my hermit cave. But I’m starting to look forward to summer, and time spent outside. My new skincare choices reflect this: these are mostly more transitional textures — not too heavy, not too light, easy to include orContinue reading “April Openeds Reviews”
April Empties Reviews
This month feels like a (comparatively) light month for empties for me. Between being slammed at work and having a new puppy, I didn’t always take the time for myself and my full-fledged skincare routine. It’s always interesting to see the rate at which I go through products, though — it feel like I emptyContinue reading “April Empties Reviews”
Skincare How To: Create a Serum Collection
I’ve been crushing on my serum line-up lately. A nice “serum stable” is eminently shelfie-worthy and so important as you learn to listen to your skin, but building one out is where so many skincare newbies go wrong and where so many skincare fanatics can go overboard. So let’s discuss. A few notes before weContinue reading “Skincare How To: Create a Serum Collection”
Face Off of the Ceramide+Cholesterol+Fatty Acid Serums: Glow Recipe vs RNW vs Stratia
So you want a ceramide serum. Maybe you’re starting to face the dryness that sets in as the years advance; maybe you’re struggling with irritation and a damaged skin barrier from acne, over-exfoliation, or eczema; maybe you’re just feeling the (in my opinion well-deserved) hype. Ceramides are finally having their day as a Big DealContinue reading “Face Off of the Ceramide+Cholesterol+Fatty Acid Serums: Glow Recipe vs RNW vs Stratia”
Springing into Warm Weather Skincare
The transitional seasons are, in my opinion, the most fun and beautiful. They also require a bit of navigating, skincare-wise. I did a post in autumn about transitioning into colder weather, Falling into Skin Barrier Support, and while some of this is, well, basically the opposite of that, there are some other things to considerContinue reading “Springing into Warm Weather Skincare”
