PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   This will be the last of my Skincare Stash and Life Updates for 2025, firstly because I don’t plan to get a lot of new skincare and makeup in the days leading up to the holidays (my money is spend on delicious food and presents for the kids), and second because I have a few other formats planned that will be…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Welcome back to the Skincare Stash and Life Update for October, again with very little skincare to show you.

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I am considering renaming these posts into just Life Update, as there is – again – not much skincare to show here. There is some makeup, again from r.e.m. beauty, but I didn’t buy any new skincare products.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   2019 was the first time I did a post called “Holy grail skincare – the products I would immediately repurchase if all my skincare disappeared over night” (read here). It is supposed to be a routine made up of only favorites, the basics I wouldn’t want to be without, and each year I come back to it and see if anything…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Welcome back to my traditional End of year Beauty Empties post where I show you everything I finished over the course of the year while moaning about what a bad idea it was to collect all my trash for such a long period of time.     Seeing that I have been doing that since 2021 I don’t think I will…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   My hair has always been on the thinner side structure wise, but it wasn’t until I took the “before” pictures for the before and after I want to show you in review of the Currentbody Skin LED Hair Growth Helmet that I realized how much thinner it had become in the last decade, this time in quantity more than in texture.…
