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”

June Empties Reviews

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”

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”

March Openeds Review

Spring! It has finally sprung, and everything feels light and new. Work has been going well, my marriage has been doing well, the Skincare Fanatics Facebook group has been doing well, my skin has been doing well, and we added a new puppy to our family (check out my last post for a Kirsten cameo)Continue reading “March Openeds Review”
