Fate?! Found this sweet girl at the Woodside park! She’s just a puppy and I’m not sure if she was dumped or if somebody lost her. She’s gotta be around 8 to 10 weeks and is very submissive and sweet! I’d love to keep her, but I don’t think it’s a good choice for me right now, please share in case she already has a loving home! If not, I’d love to either find a foster or forever family for her! I’m calling her Sophie. (from Howl’s Moving Castle)

Current skin routine now that it’s peel season: day to night 💙 order of application matters.

Details.
•Not in love w/ the spf - it pills & is finicky - haven’t figured out how to stop it from pilling.

•New product I’m LOVING is the ice ceramide moisturizing cream! My friend Vanessa gave me a sample and I def need the big size! obsessed! the THICKEST cream I’ve ever tried.

•Primally Pure🫶🏼 the antioxidant balm can be am or pm! If I need moreeee hydration, I use the AB @ night too.
I just like the soothing at night because it helps so much with acne!
Both* help with redness ☺️
10% off with MEL10 as always save some $$ babes.

Sat down to journal and the first page was this… my manifest for my trip home, a sudden solo cross country trip.

9/17/24, s*t hit the fan and there was no staying in TN. I had about a day to get my bearings, load down my Jeep, and get the fck out.

On the 18th around 5PM EST I loaded up Harley and threw on a happy playlist to contrast my fear. (Totally helped)

A storm was rolling in, heavy rains and high winds. I had abouuut $160ish to my name. “Idk how I’m gonna do it but it’s GOING TO WORK OUT.” Even if I had to show a lil leg ;) ya know?! lol.

The first 3 hours was the most INSANE sideways rain- everyone was pulling over, I thought if I stop how long will I have to stay? 25mph, slow lane, just me and the truckers cruised along. 🚙

Looking back, of course it had to rain, so dramatic. Twas just a (scary) cleansing of what I was leaving behind. 🥲🌧️

When the sun peeked through again I was entering another state. Divine. Goodbye, TN.

The FIRST night, Harley and I hunkered down in a parking lot of Love’s. It was about 2am… idk what state we made it to, but we SURE didn’t hit 12 hours of driving. There goes my plan🥲
I had Harley in a makeshift bed on the passengers seat, I couldn’t recline my seat bc of the crap behind it. Hell of a way to end the first day, I was actually excited. I was enroute with my best shotgun rider🥹
That night, I streamed Monster’s Inc. on my phone. “If I die, I die” I figured . So be it if some crazy killer got me, im gonna SLEEP. 🤣
We woke up with every big rig’s engine starting up, slamming car door…
BUT WE MADE IT THROUGH THE “NIGHT”
Taking off around 7, we trekked again and again and again. Soaked up the beauty of every sunrise and sunset.

And OF COURSE my dad said “hell no” to the truck stop sleepovers! Daily he sent $$ that kept Harley and I fed & sheltered - his “I love you be safe” from afar.😭
Round two of 2400 miles with my Harley girl.
I lied to myself to keep that happiness- no concerns allowed for those 3 days.
Just enjoy the ride, it’s all gonna work out.
Okay, love ya, bye!💖

My skin has never looked better 🧡
1oz of this lil champ has lasted me since 10/8/24 - lookin nearly new.
This is my last step every night, safe for even my most sensitive situations. This helped my perioral dermatitis when the doctors wouldn’t prescribe me anything (other than a mf steroid)🔥
The claim: A nutrient dense nourishing balm that brightens and hydrates.
10/10 agree. It replaced my one dimensional slugging balms. I’ll take this multi-tasker that lasts ages.
Wanna try anything? MEL10 gives you 10% off. I get a small commission, and I never recommend things I don’t actually love. Fire away any questions babes.
Ok bye :)

IF YOU ARE ANXIOUS YOU ARE LIVING IN THE FUTURE.
IF YOU ARE AT PEACE YOU ARE LIVING IN THE PRESENT.
-LAO TZU

Day One: Bridgerton Bubble Bath💖

I’ve thought a lot about it (75 Hard) - I’ve tried it, failed, at least 7 times in my life. Each time put me in a HARD mindset, “f weak people” and I NOW wonder, who’s weak?

Isn’t it a beautiful thing to be SOFT after all that life has put me through? Soft doesn’t mean doormat. It means you’re not punishing the world, walking through life angry, unsettled and insatiably hungry…

I want to be content, and silly! I want to radiate REAL HAPPINESS, without allowing others to steal it because they’re miserable. So THAT is my goal for 2025. The first 75 days of this year are going to be LOVING. SOFT. SELF CARING.

So! With that said, I choose me and I accept where I am. I know I’ll get where I’m going. And I’m putting myself first. Let’s see where this takes me!

(I got a few DM’s about wanting to join, I haven’t finished the plan yet but I’ll release what I’ve got today in my stories.)

Okay! Bye!🙌🏽🔮

PROGRESS® soothe, moisturize, protect.
I belieeeeve I have dermatitis from the stupid makeup wipes.
I realized wow, these are scales. It felt raw, and wouldn’t heal. So I re-vamped what I was doing.

Nowww my skin feels *better* but I am nottttt content with what daytime products l’m using !! Either way, here’s what l’m doing

A.M. Routine:
Origins Soothing Toner Lotion 1/10
(not sure if this is doing anything to help it seems like scented water)
Soothing moisturizers 3/10
(Scented but kinda help)
GLYMED Gel SPF 7.9/10
(Looove but pills)

P.M. Routine:
Primally Pure Regenerative serum 8.2/10
(Reallyyyy like, helps aging and acne without crazy chemicals, no burning like other actives)
Primally Pure Soothing Cream 8.9/10
(Love. Does exactly what it says, “balmy moisturizer”, not heavy at all and very moisturizing)
