Nothing says “life needs to slow down” like posting my October openeds reviews halfway through November. On top of it being the busy season at work (related side note: if you’re in the US and need health insurance, it’s OEP right now so go enroll), after not planning on doing any more trips until 2023,Continue reading “October Opened Reviews”

October Empties Reviews
How is it already November? October flew by, but I racked up plenty of empties as I spent the increasingly longer evenings on increasingly elaborate skincare routines. (One of these days I should share my whole routine and allow myself to get dragged, but you can probably intuit its length based on these monthly reviews.)Continue reading “October Empties Reviews”
June Empties Reviews
Hello again! It’s been a while. We went on a 2.5 week “working roadtrip” and I had truly intended to continue writing, since part of the goal was to see if we could manage a “digital nomad” lifestyle while keeping up with our day-to-day. Suffice it to say that making travel days on weekends kindContinue reading “June Empties Reviews”
April Openeds Reviews
April was rough in Colorado — the whole time, it was so windy I barely emerged from my hermit cave. But I’m starting to look forward to summer, and time spent outside. My new skincare choices reflect this: these are mostly more transitional textures — not too heavy, not too light, easy to include orContinue reading “April Openeds Reviews”
Best K-Beauty Products for Redness Reduction
Redness. There’s a good chance, if you’re a human of a particular shade, that you’ve been troubled by it. Redness can have a multitude of causes, and sometimes it feels impossible to know WHY you’re red, and target skin concerns accordingly. This is why I love k-beauty products: because of the focus, generally, on hydrationContinue reading “Best K-Beauty Products for Redness Reduction”
January Openeds Reviews
After complaining about no snow in November and December, January has finally packed a wintery wallop. The weather and darkness outside, combined with life stress, has my skin not super happy this month: itchy body skin and the return of breakouts around my mouth. At the same time, given my weird “I run out ofContinue reading “January Openeds Reviews”
January Empties Review
New year, same finicky skin: dry, dehydrated, prone to redness, breakouts around the mouth and the inevitable fine lines that come with the progression of years. My routine is pretty long, because that tends to whip it into shape, but I did feel like I had some setbacks this month. Here’s what I emptied thisContinue reading “January Empties Review”
Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2021 Part 1 — Toners, Essences, Serums, Creams & Oils
Folks seem to love my ratings (out of 10) of skincare, so I figured there’s no time like the present to collate all of my top-rated (10 out of 10) skincare for the year. Note: I only rate skincare when it’s emptied (if it’s newly opened, I haven’t been using it for long enough toContinue reading “Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2021 Part 1 — Toners, Essences, Serums, Creams & Oils”
November Openeds Reviews
It may have been an unseasonably warm November in Colorado — we still haven’t gotten any meaningful snow in the Front Range, and I even had the windows open this week — but the wind and low humidity is hitting hard. I’ve specifically been finding my skin drying out during the day, so while manyContinue reading “November Openeds Reviews”
November Empties Reviews
Helloooooo depths of autumn. This is the latest it’s been before getting some serious snow here in Colorado, and the weather has been remarkably mild, but the increased cold weather dryness has definitely begun to hit. My empties seem to come in phases, with this month being lots of serums in particular. As a reminder,Continue reading “November Empties Reviews”
