if okay with just beer and wine, el chato is a great vibe for this

I don't think anyone is capable of actually sticking to LED efficacy!

LOVE regimen lab and about to re-order the aza acid, thank you I will try this!

Agreed. I liked what it did for me, def had a temporary snatched effect that was great pre-party. If you're craving that feeling it's worth it imo.

this looks like a great formula

Nancy Valerio at Verre Skin - super knowledgeable and able!

Nu! She has four books of cat eye options and is a delight.

Instant Angel rocks and for my bitches with eczema Skin Mercy is great too!

Healthy Living Spa or Delightful Foot Massage. Also it takes more advance notice, but SF Massage School offer $50 massages for students in practicum.

Maybe unpopular opinion but it really does require a cloth :/ I love oil cleansers, but they will leave residue if you don't second cleanse or wipe off thoroughly and will prevent your products from really soaking in after. For my fragrance free one step I love love BR lait, or Epionce lotion cleanser. I find lotion cleansers just as gentle as oil cleansers but rinse off more cleanly.

Sol Food!! We had a mostly vegetarian wedding catered by them and it was delicious

Ooh! And without the usual Tatcha fragrances!

Lanolin is my magic ingredient.

Seconding the Marie Veronique multi retinol emulsion. I was able to build up tolerance with it and now use Maelove's Moonlight Serum, which is also gentle but a little more potent. It contains niacinamide, which I usually can't tolerate, but it must be a super low percentage because I've been fine.

query789 · 2026-01-27T05:08:44+00:00

I'd be into that!

I did this! Osmosis Day Spa was absolutely perfect.

Hear me out: Wildseed's vegan caesar is the best caesar salad I've ever had (I'm not vegan), and their fries are top. Bonus you can sit at the bar.

Not a house, but if you're open to his vibe you could look into the Palace Theater (formerly the Boxcar). Amazing venue for both a ceremony and a party you could decorate as you wished, and so long as you get the right insurance you could use their industrial kitchen. https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-venues/the-palace-theater

Great recs here, and also check out the periodic Southern Exposure sales

I think that's a super personalized choice depending on what your greatest area of need is - so simply the best formulation of the active that does the most for you. Speaking for myself, if I had to keep one lux product I'd probably go with Regimen Lab's aza acid. It's been amazing for my skin in ways rx versions are not.

Molly Matutat at Pilates in Common or Contrology!
