Ahhhh how is it April. Travel and a director-level job has taken a lot of my attention, even from simply doing my routine, which is why I almost certainly should have more empties this month than I do. I find myself shifting away from having a true routine and more towards just using what IContinue reading “March Empties 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”
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”
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”
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”
February Empties Reviews; or Two Years as a Skincare Group Admin
This weekend marks the two year anniversary of the Skincare Fanatics Facebook group, and looking at my empties it’s very clear to me how much it’s affected my life. When I started the group, my routine was, well, getting more elaborate, but still pretty small. Now, I’ve budgeted myself $100 USD per month and shopContinue reading “February Empties Reviews; or Two Years as a Skincare Group Admin”

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”
