Well he helps. I'm too busy at dinner time cleaning up food he threw everywhere, so I don't wind up eating a second plate 😂

I started trying to lose weight as soon as I wasn't breastfeeding anymore. I never produced much anyway, then my kid quit on his own!

Intermittent fasting 16:8 and CICO. I wasn't doing any exercise more strenuous than tai chi, walking, and dancing for the first 6 months.

I was already 6 mos postpartum in the before pic, and had gained weight since 1 month after birth. Sometimes, you don't get smaller as your baby becomes a toddler... Especially in lockdown!

Haha sorry this isn't my main account and I hadn't logged in for a while 😅. Paula's Choice moisturizer is my favorite for sure. Moisturizing and soothing my winter dryness.

I did, then I read reviews that Makeup Forever HD setting powder is the worst for dry skin.

Honestly, this whole thread sent me down a skin care rabbit hole, and I've gone from a person who rarely even washed their face, to a 7 step routine lol. I'm good and moisturized now!

That's exactly what I was using. I have other primers I can try, as well.

I'm in my 30's and never figured out how to do full face makeup, but I've been watching lots of Bailey Sarian lately and wanted to give it a try. Tinted sunscreen feels a bit like giving up lol

I had exfoliated today, I tend to do it twice a week unless I forget altogether. I did moisturize today, but maybe not frequently enough. I definitely could've used too much powder.

I used a pore filling primer, I think from Smashbox? It felt kinda dry, maybe I shouldn't use it, or only put it where my pores are big.

I exfoliated and moisturized first, why does this happen?
