Ah July, nearly the height of summer here in Colorado. It’s been dry and smoky (seemingly the new normal in the Western US), and my skincare has been reflecting that — there’s a strong focus on antioxidants and sunscreen below. As always, products are listed in the order you would theoretically use them in aContinue reading “July Openeds Reviews”

May Empties Review
It’s nearly summer! And I’m finishing up another batch of products just in time.
