June BoxyCharm Update
Hi guys! I have an update on the BoxyCharm situation. If you’re not up to date, here’s a link to my previous review where I talk about why I needed a replacement box: https://texturedandtrying.blogspot.com/2022/06/boxycharm-june-2022-review.html Yesterday I got my new box, which I was honestly hoping would have some different items in it, but unfortunately… Read more

Twenty-Five Driving Part Two
My boyfriend has a disease that causes him a lot of pain and discomfort and inconvenience. Sometimes he would cancel plans because he was in too much pain, or didn’t feel like making the drive down to see me if we had plans. This man is the most amazing person, and I look up to… Read more

Twenty-Five Driving Part One
I got my license when I was twenty-five years old.

My Planner and my Stickers and my Colored Pens
I did not have to try very hard in school and never learned how to keep myself organized. Even in classes where I struggled, there was always extra credit, there was always something I could do. But I didn’t challenge myself, it was more just mindless busywork. Lots of words on a page that sounded… Read more

June Glam Bag Plus and Add-On Review
The June Glam Bag came in from IPSY! And we have a lot to talk about. I’ve been an IPSY subscriber on and off for several years, but this is honestly the best box yet in my opinion. First off, since I added a bunch of extra products to this box, my total ended up… Read more

Insensitive Skin
I have a type of acne called milia. Some people know it as pearl acne, because when they’re extracted instead of being all like … gross … they’re just little pearl-like balls. They’re technically bubbles of keratin that collect underneath layers of the skin but not specifically inside your pores, which means they don’t have… Read more

Intro
I’ve struggled with a skin-picking problem since I was tall enough to look over the sink into the bathroom mirror – and I have memories of pulling a chair up to get closer, so it might have started before I can even remember. I thought for a long time that it could be my… Read more
