part 370 fresh flowers on a side table in the morning

Um, 2020 was a year that happened. 2021 is a new year that will happen! With flowers! And side tables! And mornings! And I didn't want to make some sort of 20s-themed name because look what happened in 2020, look what happened.

Enjoy part 370!

theater DVDs, which broke the floodgate of the no-buy
enamel pins
skincare I don't technically need + a puzzle + other doodads from Target
perfume

basically all the things that in January-february I was like hmm, i want, but can't buy!

at least march is almost here so I can feel better about restarting the no-buy!

I got Neutrogena Bright Boost Resurfacing Micro Polish. I don't normally use physical exfoliators, but I wanted to try this one out based on good reviews. It has a LOT of fragrance, but, I used it once and my skin didn't immediately break out in response so I will keep using it for now. I am only using it once every 2 weeks though, I can't imagine anyone using this daily, your skin would get so over-exfoliated. I got another bottle of CeraVe PM lotion, which I don't need because I have a moisturizer right now, i just wanted to go back to CeraVe. And I got a few of Avatar Chill Out Face Masks. Ohj and I got CeraVe "for bumpy skin" to try to tackle my ketosis pilaris.

I bought the new Poesie valentine collection and I was tempted to try their hand sanitizers but uhhHhh I really don't think indie brands should be making those, at least not without fully disclosing the production process.

ehhh i broke out after using my BHA regularly so things don't always go as you'd expect! but yeah, you're using it in moderation so that's just fine for a physical exfoliant.

any reason why you wanted to go back to CeraVe? (is it TikTok) i feel like they're good for a back-up whenever you're in a pinch. lemme know how the bumpy skin one works. i'm pretty sure i have KP on my legs ;;

ohh, did you get the Poesie collection in your hands or are you waiting on it? the only one that interested me was Petit Peche and the blueberry one.

I wanted to go back to it because the other one I got (La Roche-Posay double repair) kept giving me lil white bumps on my forehead. I finally did a "use one product at a time for 1 week" to find out what was causing it, and they only started again after I use La Roche-Posay. Whomp whomp. I hope the cerave for KP works!! I'm sure tired of my KP but tbh I never tried hard to treat it before.

waiting on it still!

go figure the more expensive one...

i try to keep it cheaper but it's such a pain to be looking at ingredients and see "orange peel" or "limonene" up top in everything ijsdfij but that's in more expensive ones, too, like mario badescu. so i get why you were afraid of the neutrogena
