I almost wrote that life calmed down a bit in January, which is entirely not true — it featured a perilous trek across two mountain ranges in order to spend two weeks in California — but I did get back on the skincare bandwagon in a big way. My eye eczema DID finally calm downContinue reading “January Empties and Openeds”

September Openeds Reviews
September feels like ages ago (well, it was a month, in fairness). In September I got promoted to Director of Engineering, which meant that I felt I had less time to do skincare, and I also went to Japan for a week and a half, which also made me focus on more travel-friendly skincare (note:Continue reading “September Openeds Reviews”
September Empties Reviews
Oh September. What a month. We were in Japan for 1.5 weeks to celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary, and before that I was grinding my way through my first weeks of being a Director of Engineering. Notably, the work has not let up since our return, ergo the truly latest batch of reviews IContinue reading “September Empties Reviews”
July Empties Reviews
July was rough. June was rough. May was rough. August is shaping up to be rough so far. Is there an end in sight in September? I sure hope so — if nothing else, there’s a trip to Japan. July involved a huge 10 mile hike, lots of mountain biking, and a trip to theContinue reading “July Empties Reviews”
June Openeds Reviews
Has my life calmed down? No. Has it stopped raining in Colorado? Also no. Am I managing to make it outside when it’s not? Yes. Am I managing to do my skincare routine more often? Also yes. Because skincare is both a self-maintenance and a self-care endeavor for me, I’ve been trying to make moreContinue reading “June 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”
February Openeds Reviews
It’s funny, for such an extensive skincare routine, I tend to empty (and thus open) a lot of products in the same category at the same time. In February, it was serums — though there’s some other goodies in here, too. As a reminder, these are simply first impressions, and more thorough results and ratingsContinue reading “February 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”
November Empties Reviews
November was supposed to be chill, but it was not. It’s one of the more stressful months of my life, thanks to my job, and my seborrheic dermatitis flared accordingly. It likes to hang out around my nose, and was red and itchy and ouchy. I did not love that, and it was super frustratingContinue reading “November Empties Reviews”
