Autumn has come late to northern Colorado this year, but it’s finally here. September oversaw the transition, with highs still in the 90s many days but lows getting into the 40s.

September Empties Reviews
Ah September. I always think of it as the beginning of autumn, but this year it was really more the end of summer — we routinely had 90 degree days, and I had a tropical getaway to Belize for 9 days over the week of my fourth wedding anniversary (so if you were wondering whyContinue reading “September Empties Reviews”

Granted, two are body skincare and five were minis and one was also in use by my husband but now I’m just rationalizing.Continue reading “March Empties Review”
February Openeds Review

So I searched my stash for things that could help me get by, plus add a little fun to boot. Skinfood RoyalContinue reading “February Openeds Review”

October Empties Review
Out with the old! Took me a while to get around to photographing them, but here are October’s empties. For reference, my skin type is normal-dry and my concerns are primarily around skin brightening and anti-aging.
September Empties Review
I’m a big fan of crossing things off my TODO list, and finishing a product feels much the same way. Here were my skincare empties for September — show me yours!
