Ah September. I always think of it as the beginning of autumn, but this year it was really more the end of summer — we routinely had 90 degree days, and I had a tropical getaway to Belize for 9 days over the week of my fourth wedding anniversary (so if you were wondering whyContinue reading “September Empties Reviews”

The Hub Take
Time for something a bit unusual. My husband Josiah has been a huge supporter of my skincare journey, to the point that I’ve finally managed to get him into a bit of a routine — or perhaps more accurately, I’ve at least turned him into a nearly-daily sunscreen wearer. He kindly offered to do aContinue reading “The Hub Take”
August Openeds Reviews
August saw a lot of new products — and a lot of new brands for me! How I’ve managed to be into skincare for so long without trying famous brands like Some By Mi or Sunday Riley, or even less famous but still popular ones like Mizon, Abib or Ample:N I don’t know, but IContinue reading “August Openeds Reviews”
August Empties Reviews
One of these times I’ll actually iron my backdrops, but not this month! It’s been a busy one, though not so much in terms of emptying skincare.

June Openeds Review
It’s summer! And summer means sun, and heat, and trips. I’ve been mountain biking multiple times a week, hitting up the farmers’ market and melting in 90+ degree heat. I also went to Telluride for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, which you’ll read many references to below. Through it all, my skincare had to keepContinue reading “June Openeds Review”
June Empties Review
Another month, another round of empties. As the weather warmed up the number of “skins” increased, so this round feels like it’s at least 50% hydrating products. Products are listed in the order you might use them in a routine, with single-use skincare at the very end. Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm This isContinue reading “June Empties Review”
May Empties Review
It’s nearly summer! And I’m finishing up another batch of products just in time. Some of these will be familiar to frequent readers, as there are three recurring favorites in here, but there are also some new favorites to be found — I think this is the most 10/10 I’ve done in a batch ofContinue reading “May Empties Review”
April Empties Review
Sometimes I worry about how much skincare I buy, then I see how much skincare I go through and I think “nope, seems fine.” Here’s what I emptied in April! Cosrx Cica Serum I won this serum (and the rest of Cosrx’s cica line) back in late November/early December. This serum isn’t as immediately calmingContinue reading “April Empties Review”
