I usually break empties and openeds into separate posts, but there were fairly few products going into and coming out of my routine in December — the focus of the month was definitely on my Sheet Mask Skincare Challenge, wherein I did a sheet mask, well, every day. Grouping these posts together will also helpContinue reading “December Empties and Openeds Reviews”

October Opened Reviews
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”
September Empties Reviews
Lots of minis this month! The theme of September was definitely traveling: we came back from Tulsa, spent a week at home, then went to Crete for a week and a half for our fifth wedding anniversary. (This is also my excuse for my bad posting schedule. Hopefully October is calmer. So far all signsContinue reading “September Empties Reviews”
July Openeds Reviews
Well, if life went to plan, this would be the weekend I’d be publishing my August Empties (I usually do empties last weekend of the month, openeds first weekend of the next). But life rarely goes to plan, does it? We moved to Tulsa, OK for three months with about 2.5 weeks of notice dueContinue reading “July Openeds Reviews”
July Empties Reviews
July was one of the more wild months of my life, which is why this post is coming to you not one, but over two weeks late (I always target empties for the last weekend of the month). It was also an unprecedentedly hot and humid July in Colorado, which did a bit of aContinue reading “July Empties Reviews”
June Openeds Reviews
June was characterized by our 2.5 week working roadtrip that took us out of Colorado up through Wyoming (right during that storm that basically broke Yellowstone), to Montana and some epic glamping, all the way to the lakes of Idaho. Traveling can always be tricky for skin, and while I picked up more sun damageContinue reading “June Openeds 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”
May Openeds Reviews
May seemed to be the one month of spring we got this year in Colorado — everything went from dry and windy in April to lush and green, and next month will certainly be back to dry and windy but 30 degrees (Fahrenheit) warmer than in April. May was a weird month for me onContinue reading “May Openeds Reviews”
Springing into Warm Weather Skincare
The transitional seasons are, in my opinion, the most fun and beautiful. They also require a bit of navigating, skincare-wise. I did a post in autumn about transitioning into colder weather, Falling into Skin Barrier Support, and while some of this is, well, basically the opposite of that, there are some other things to considerContinue reading “Springing into Warm Weather Skincare”
