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”

Q4 2023 Openeds
As referenced in a previous post, October, November and December of 2023 were pretty wild. On top of everything happening at work and at home, I also managed to get a pretty awful case of eczema around my right eye that shrank and flared throughout the last two months of the quarter, leading me toContinue reading “Q4 2023 Openeds”
Q4 2023 Empties
This is officially the longest I’ve gone without posting empties. Q4 was pretty wild with work, and we also bought a new house (photo taken on the mantle!). So, suffice it to say, my focus has been elsewhere. I probably did skincare maybe 25% of the time I should have, so there aren’t as manyContinue reading “Q4 2023 Empties”
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”
August Empties Reviews
A post with empties, relatively on time? Well clutch my pearls and say it ain’t so. Openeds were last week, with August and July combined. These, being empties, will have my rating out of 10 on how they did for me and my dry skin. Toner/Essence 🍃 Barr Centella Calming Ampoule Toner I honestly hadContinue reading “August Empties Reviews”
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”
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”
June Empties Review
Nothing says that it’s finally summer in Colorado like suddenly emptying three sunscreens. It’s generally been pretty humid, though, due to tons of rain (and hail), which means that in some cases I’m pretty glad to have some of these heavier-feeling products out of my routine, even with my dehydrated, dry skin. Sunscreen ☀️ Dr.Continue reading “June Empties Review”
