True. That’s still a lot of canned air…

Well, spent my chicken budget on non-chicken glassware and now I’m dropping it off at home before venturing off again (and peeing first, because apparently my kidneys decided to temporarily work again and I am no longer living up to my nickname of The Cactus)

I don’t *need* a blue, green, and periwinkle jellyfish brooch. But boy do I *want* one. There’s also a green one with jangly tentacles.

There’s a toy collector looking at the toys in the same room I’m looking at glass and trinkets, and he picked up a toy and pulled the string and I *immediately* needed a nap.
How many other people had this on their crib when they were a baby?! Omg instant throw-back.

This is…incredible. You could stare at it for hours and still not see every detail.
Also the dusting 😖

The black glass swan dish that almost fooled me (it’s actually a 2025 Goth Easter decor item from Michael’s) is still here

Also look at this incredible folk art floaty boaty. I want it, but I will resist. For now. I spent most of my budget as soon as I walked in the door (you’ll see later. lol)

Ok, remember the toy butter dish I bought last night? I found some other glass kids’ toys! All of these used to contain candy w a little foil seal. Peel off the seal, eat the candies, then play with your new glass toy. These are about…70 yrs old & all 3 are pristine: boat, fire truck, donkey & cart

You mean people carrying guns? Hunting is a huge deal here so guns are not uncommon.

Yeah, the RCMP doesn’t care about hunters unless the hunted are human beings. I’m guessing this is directly related to a shooting in the area that just isn’t public yet.

And of course autocarrot 🥕 changed yuja to yuma in the opening skeet and... *sigh*
Thanks for constantly making me look like a dumbass, phone. At least you're consistent.

So there you have it. The family photo again arranged by preference from L to R. I’m glad I tried this brand, would definitely try other stuff by them, and found at least 2 (maybe 3) products I would definitely buy a full-size of. I’d call that a win!
The end.

And now the star of the show: the serum. 10% niacinamide is…a lot. This is not for everyone. But you know what? I didn’t have a single zit for the entire bottle. The redness in my cheeks I sometimes get? Never happened. It’s light, non-greasy/oily, smells like the cream. Loved it. Would 100% buy.

Next towards the favourite is the cream. This stuff was very light for a cream, and never felt heavy on my skin (or sticky, or greasy, or gooey). I love the scent, too (citrusy, but almost a floral undertone like orange blossom?) and it was a mild scent. I would absolutely buy this as a day cream.

Next up: toner. This is my second-least-favourite thing, but I actually liked it. It made my skin feel fresh after using it, and I feel like it did help to even out my skin tone especially on my forehead. Would I buy it? I would strongly consider it.
