Ooooh! And that sunscreen has a 1 rating on Environmental Working Group! You may have found a unicorn.
Going to check out that sunscreen, although I love my Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish Sun Milk SPF50. Its much lighter than any I’ve tried before, so I’d love to compare the two!
2nd the Etude! I put it in a DIY cushion to re-apply sunscreen over makeup. Love it.
Loved the Toni Morrison essay from The New Yorker. It’s always good to have a reminder that the value of what you do is far greater than the appreciation, or lack thereof, from a boss.
Drunk Elephant Umbra is fantastic. I have a sensitivity to chemical sunscreens so finding a product that only uses physical barriers (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) is challenging. I ordered the DE Littles set from Sephora so I am excited to try some of their other products.
I have tons of cilantro growing in my herb garden so I’m excited to try the honey lime cilantro chicken!
A longer marinade really improved the flavor. It was surprisingly quick and tasty. I paired it with rice, guacamole, and some Mexican-style roasted carrots to make a bowl-like creation.
I LOVE the drunken elephant night serum. I may need to purchase the entire line, its so awesome.
I appreciate the clothes and skin care tips and I have your recommendations in my closet and bathroom, but what I really come her for is the insightful articles you link. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing what you’re reading with us. I walk between two other social classes in my work as a massage therapist – rich enough for plastic surgery and disadvantaged enough to come to a free clinic for healthcare. I love the advice to do my job for me and remember where I live.
Okay, that book sounded soooo familiar & then I realized I just watched a TedX talk with her! You can watch it here too, if ya want. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwRzjFQa_Og&t=524s
I was expecting to find the book I’m now reading and was surprised it has a similar title, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson. I might have to check the other next. For those who only want physical sunscreen, try Cotz’s Natural Tinted face with SPF 40. The texture is like that of a primer and it saves me a step in the morning. The color is scary out of the tube but it sheers out nicely and it stops that dreaded white cast.
