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”

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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
February Openeds Reviews
Oh February. You were wild. As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I continued battling a rash and I think it’s finally subsided for real, but it really wrecked me this month. That resulted in me having (comparatively) fewer opened products, since I didn’t want to introduce too many new variables to my routine after itContinue reading “February Openeds Reviews”
