I would love to be your neighbour and share a cup of tea with you. Please share with us a recipe from your mom when you were young if possible. I would love to try it!

I was bad at hoarding the "good stuff," but started rotating things out or grouping "experiences" (similar scented candle, bath bomb, body scrub, eg) and using them that way. It's like a spa or hotel vibe and adds to the joy of using them. Maybe once every week or two. You have soooo much less. It's always inspiring to see your process.

Also- about the dark spot on your lip- I have had my whole face done (micro needling, eyebrows, eyeliner, and lipstick)! Did you know that a good "natural nude" shade should match your nipples?!?! 😮 I think it's great because I can just slap on sunblock and be out the door and still look put together. It would also hide your dark spot. NOT that I'm saying you should, even, just tossing it into the ring, as it's been fantastic for me, and even my very makeup conservative mom is looking into getting some cosmetic tattooing! I know it's not for everybody, but I wanted to put it out there. My artist is AMAZING, and not cheap, but let me tell you, she's worth every penny. If it isn't worth it for you, keep doing what you're doing because you look great!🎉

Sophia, I love how you have reduced the level of products you use and purchase now in your make up range. The fact you have fewer makeup pallets now is so much better. Personally, I have two pallets and I replace them every two years, that way they stay fresh and the minerals and pigments don’t deteriorate. I do the same with blush and face powder, but I change my liquid foundation every year. I was taught by my mother who was a trained beautician not to wear out of date make up as it really damages the skin especially as we age. Just to let you know Sophia, pigmentation spots on the lips can be due to an overly high level of iron intake, so you may want to check you are not over consuming too many iron rich foods or drinks.
