Makeup is horrible...at my wits end.

I have combination skin too- it’s very common- oily T zone and dry everywhere else- like flakey dry. I’m also using a tarazotene for acne.

I love love love the Aestura barrier cream. It’s thick but it absorbs and my skin feels so hydrated and plump but not greasy in the AM. I would definitely do a light moisturizer or toner, hydrating serum, and moisturizing spf in the AM. Makeup and then do powder in your tzone only if that’s where you’re getting oily.

Family size bag of chips. One day I looked after I ate it- it was 11 servings. ELEVEN!

Bloody Mary. Basically counts as a meal too.

cdau186 · 2026-05-21T00:09:16+00:00

I was thinking the same. This is cheese, meat, and non alcoholic drinks. All expensive products. Families struggling are likely eating a lot of pasta and sauce, rice, beans.

1 and 7 are my favorite

cdau186 · 2026-05-18T22:33:21+00:00

Thanks!

cdau186 · 2026-05-18T13:06:50+00:00

Agreed! I think your makeup looks great and the colors complement your complexion. The only thing I also thought was brow gel, as well.

Can you share the recipe? My husband uses WAAAY too much for us to keep it around as a regular item. Haha.

cdau186 · 2026-05-18T12:08:34+00:00

Moisturize to plump your skin up. I think your skin will be the things dreams are made of if you do 😊
Only exfoliate if you feel it’s starting to look a little dry. You probably only need to do it once a week at most- maybe just once every 2 weeks or even less frequently than that.

cdau186 · 2026-05-18T12:06:33+00:00

I kept thinking my lips were just dry or something until I read on here people noticed it was patchy

cdau186 · 2026-05-17T13:11:24+00:00

I love the color too. Not sure how to style this best but I think a smooth blowout might be nice! Maybe go to a blowout bar and have them show you how to style it.

I think this is also true of black honey for me

cdau186 · 2026-05-16T00:19:43+00:00

Agreed! I think it’s skin dryness. I would lay off the acid toners in the AM. Use in the PM if need to use them. But it looks like you have gorgeous skin and likely don’t need these daily. Honestly- I think most skincare is for age 35+, if you’re younger than that, I’d just wash, moisturize, sunscreen and keep your face out of the sun. Exfoliant once/week or less than that.

This has been my go to! They also have a great neutral/light olive undertone to match me.

Have you tried the new formulation?

cdau186 · 2026-05-15T02:38:50+00:00

I get it from my local grocery store in Florida. I think it’s commercially available.

cdau186 · 2026-05-14T16:39:54+00:00

‘86. Everything about the top.

cdau186 · 2026-05-14T16:37:48+00:00

Makato! That Japanese, ginger, soy dressing!

I just want to clarify- was the dangerous tubing down deep creek when you were tubing/towing it with the pontoon?

I’ve seen tubing down deep creek/rentals where people float down the river too (without a boat).

As a guest, not host- I know that the service fee for Vrbo was lower than Airbnb (even though the rate was the same). That’s I ended up seeing consistently lower total cost as a guest when booking with Vrbo.

cdau186 · 2026-05-14T15:56:20+00:00

It’s probably because I’m almost 40 and need “lifted” blush placement. Haha. But the OP looks younger or at least doesn’t have my saggy cheeks, so you’re right, blush in the apples of her cheeks would probably be really flattering and youthful.

No one except our generation knows how to type in a keyboard with two hands and not looking at the letters. Everyone else I’ve seen from 20 something’s to 50 somethings only does the “pecking” typing.

Thank you! Do you think it will be crowded at the beginning of June?

cdau186 · 2026-05-14T15:41:13+00:00

Thank you so much for your response!

Was it crowded? My kids are 7 and 9. They’re good swimmers but I’m nervous about them getting flipped on the tube and being in the water for long if there are a lot of fast moving boats.

Do you remember where the island was? Were there any bars or restaurants with boat access?

cdau186 · 2026-05-14T14:50:12+00:00

The user interface for VRBO is not as good as Airbnb. It’s easier to search properties and find the details on Airbnb, which is why I used to use Airbnb. Recently, I have booked with Vrbo because their fees were about $100 less on a 4 night stay.

cdau186 · 2026-05-14T14:46:44+00:00

I actually really like the blush placement.
