January Openeds Reviews

Hello skin woes, my old enemies. It’s not nice to see you again. Two Januaries in a row, now, my skin has been on the struggle bus. Last year, it was psoriasis all over my body. This year, it was a resurgence of my seborrheic dermatitis (and a nice little patch of contact dermatitis onContinue reading “January Openeds Reviews”

January Empties Reviews

After a relatively slow empties month in December, January was back to the old me in a big way — though I’m trying to NOT “one in, one out” this month, so expect fewer openeds reviews next week. My seborrheic dermatitis came back this month, in part, I suspect, due to one of the productsContinue reading “January Empties Reviews”

December Empties and Openeds Reviews

I usually break empties and openeds into separate posts, but there were fairly few products going into and coming out of my routine in December — the focus of the month was definitely on my Sheet Mask Skincare Challenge, wherein I did a sheet mask, well, every day. Grouping these posts together will also helpContinue reading “December Empties and Openeds Reviews”

November Openeds Reviews

Is it halfway through December? Yes. Was I delayed in posting due to birthday and work shenanigans? Also yes. My seborrheic dermatitis flared up again in a big way last month, so I brought some old favorites come back into my routine while busting out some new heavy hitters. About two weeks out from whenContinue reading “November Openeds Reviews”

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”
