Hi Reader! π Last week we talked about the SSS (Summer skin slump) π€£ That mirror moment, the dullness, the fine lines that seem new, the tired look that isn't tiredness. This week I want to talk about why most of us can't fix it. Here's the pattern I've seen a hundred times, from women in the community, from friends, from myself years ago.

I was leaning toward the mirror to put in an earring, and I caught my reflection under that particular slice of morning light that shows you everrrrrrrything. π«£π«£π«£ I stood there for a second and thought - hmm, when did my skin start looking like this?

I wanted so badly for the brand to succeed...

Hi Reader! π I know I said this week was the deodorant conversation. It's coming - pinky promise - but Counter just did something I've been quietly wanting them to do for awhile now, and I refuse to let it sit in my inbox unmentioned! π€©π€©π€© They launched two travel edits. Two. Both perfectly TSA-sized, both built around full routines (not the random three-product samplers most brands call a "travel kit"), and both available with a free full-size product when you grab one - for a limited time!!...
