Wow, has it been a minute (nearly 525,600 of them). My last Empties post was the Empties & Openeds for January 2024. Well, here we are in January 2025, and I have nearly a year of empties to go through, which I’ll be breaking into three parts: toners, serums, and then this — cleansers, masks,Continue reading “2024 Empties Part 1: Mostly Just The Basics”

July & August Openeds Reviews
You know how I’ve been talking about how wild life’s been? Well, imagine me gesturing broadly right now. Given how truly off-the-rails things have been, I’m doing my July and August openeds in one post (it was the way to get them out before September, so it’s a win, right?). And yes, that is aContinue reading “July & August Openeds Reviews”
April Openeds Reviews
It feels a bit like I wound up with a whole new routine this month, but given how I’ve renewed my skincare practice with new vigor, I suppose that makes sense. My skin has gotten even thirstier than usual with the shift towards spring in Colorado (though leaves are only hitting the trees now, inContinue reading “April Openeds Reviews”
April Empties Reviews
It feels like I was back to my old tricks in April, with over 10 empties. You would think that would mean a complete routine overhaul, but my routine is so long that you would be wrong. That said, while I spent April focusing on getting back into skincare (sometimes work wears me down, andContinue reading “April Empties Reviews”
January Openeds Reviews
Hello skin woes, my old enemies. It’s not nice to see you again. Two Januaries in a row, now, my skin has been on the struggle bus. Last year, it was psoriasis all over my body. This year, it was a resurgence of my seborrheic dermatitis (and a nice little patch of contact dermatitis onContinue reading “January Openeds Reviews”
January Empties Reviews
After a relatively slow empties month in December, January was back to the old me in a big way — though I’m trying to NOT “one in, one out” this month, so expect fewer openeds reviews next week. My seborrheic dermatitis came back this month, in part, I suspect, due to one of the productsContinue reading “January 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”
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”
