I was hoping for fat baby jd vance

And horses!

Holy shit I didn’t realize the epicurean boards were the reason my knives were getting dull!

On your way to a world that others might have missed

My brain thought it was a light bulb wrapped in masking tape

And it’s too early for that dress.

It’s what I use in a pinch, and actually it’s great for removing mineral sunscreen, but I find it’s harder to wash off than other oil cleansers.

The 5th Dimension were amazing. I really like Wedding Bell Blues and Stoned Soul Picnic, but Age of Aquarius is such an instantly recognizable song across generations :)

I mean, I’m not enduring anything. I think of it as general upkeep, not too dissimilar to flossing or working out. It keeps my skin healthy and young and unless I’m really busy or in a rush, I don’t mind doing it.

Specifically: I’m 43 years old and nobody ever believes me about that. Most people put me in me early thirties (last year someone guessed late twenties and I thought she was just trying to flatter me but she was dead serious!). My skin doesn’t show my age. I have some fine lines but no deep wrinkles, my skintone is even and the few sunspots I had have faded, and my skin has a healthy glow.

I’ve always looked youthful but now my skin looks younger and healthier than it did 5 years ago.

Yup! Eye makeup (especially liner & mascara) is made to stay where you put it, so it takes time to remove! And similar with mineral sunscreen.

It’s not necessarily complicated, just tedious. Lots of steps. If I wear mineral sunscreen plus makeup, then my evening routine is:

• Remove eye makeup (cold cream): 2 minutes
• Remove face/neck makeup and sunscreen (oil-based cleanser): 5 minutes
• Wash face, neck, and chest (gentle cleanser): 1 minute
• Skincare for face, neck, and chest (3 toners, 1 serum, 1 moisturizer, lip mask; allowing minimum 60 second drydown in between steps): 8 minutes
• (Every other night) Anti-aging (sandwiching tretinoin with rich moisturizer): 6 minutes

So roughly 15-20 minutes every night just for skin.

Plus about 10 minutes in the morning for my most basic AM skincare (not including sunscreen or makeup).

But my skin looks great!

Yeah, any product claiming that is a product I don’t buy.

Cold cream is the only thing I’ve found that really will remove all of my makeup, and it still requires patiently rubbing it into my eye makeup and wiping carefully (especially the eyelashes!) several times to be sure it’s fully gone. And then comes cleanser and the rest of my skincare.

Da ba dee da ba da

I’m sorry to hear you’re having a rough time today Lady. Depression sucks 🤍

Hopefully this pic of my parents’ floof monster will put a smile on your face!

I sing the alphabet in French.

Commonly it’s thought of as between red and purple. I don’t know where pink comes from.

It is, thank you!

Haha you beat me to it!
