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”

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”
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”
March Empties Reviews
March was a big month for me, and not just because I wound up with 15 empties. Work has been nuts, and we just got a new puppy (who, of course, puppy bombed the photo for this post). My skin’s also noticing that winter’s about to end and spring is starting, so what I’m lookingContinue reading “March Empties Reviews”
Best K-Beauty Products for Redness Reduction
Redness. There’s a good chance, if you’re a human of a particular shade, that you’ve been troubled by it. Redness can have a multitude of causes, and sometimes it feels impossible to know WHY you’re red, and target skin concerns accordingly. This is why I love k-beauty products: because of the focus, generally, on hydrationContinue reading “Best K-Beauty Products for Redness Reduction”
December Openeds Reviews
My skincare in December felt very dominated by my “sheet mask every day” challenge — which I did succeed at! But I did still empty a fair bit of skincare, so I had to open a fair bit too! And since I get questions every time: I don’t rate skincare when opening it — you’llContinue reading “December Openeds Reviews”
December Empties Review
I was a bit surprised to see that I still managed to empty a fair bit of skincare in December — it felt like a very busy month, between holidays and a birthday staycation, and my sheet mask every day challenge (which I did manage to finish! More on that at some other time) didContinue reading “December Empties Review”
Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2021 Part 1 — Toners, Essences, Serums, Creams & Oils
Folks seem to love my ratings (out of 10) of skincare, so I figured there’s no time like the present to collate all of my top-rated (10 out of 10) skincare for the year. Note: I only rate skincare when it’s emptied (if it’s newly opened, I haven’t been using it for long enough toContinue reading “Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2021 Part 1 — Toners, Essences, Serums, Creams & Oils”
October Openeds Reviews
You should not open this many products in a month. I have a problem. I also have a long skincare routine that keeps my aging, dry, dehydrated, seborrheic-dermatitis-prone feeling good, so arguably that problem is more of a solution. Enough justification, though: here’s what entered my skin- and body-care routine last month. Wash-Off Products 🍏Continue reading “October Openeds Reviews”
October Empties Reviews
This month may be a record for empties — for the first week, I was averaging one per day. Minis are partially to blame, but sometimes that’s just how the products hit you. As a rule I don’t recommend emptying and then opening this many products in a month, as you need to give yourContinue reading “October Empties Reviews”
