And this tank but in black/white and for $10

 

And a black knit drapeneck tunic with ruching on the hips for $7. I cannot find a photo of it, but it's not that hard to visualize. This was all from Ross, which is like TJ Maxx etc. but a little cheaper, a little less brandy.

Ayo it by Oryany, it's called the Cassie hobo. I got it on Blufly, but I've seen it several other places. The leather is super nice!

I've been using a sample from Sephora and really like them, however  Amazon has them for around $7 cheaper plus free shipping and no tax.  Guess where I bought them from?

Boots are you using these nightly? Is there an AHA in them? I need to start a real skin care routine, but I want something easy.

I got serious about my skincare last year. I've been using a mandelic peel once a week and alternating between 30 % lactic and 30% Glycolic peels every week. I also use a Vitamin C + E serum every morning and evening. I need to stress that when using a chemical peel, it's extremely important to use them correctly and for the recommended amount of time (which varies from person to person, but shorter is always better than longer time-wise.)

The PTR UnWrinkle Peels are weaker than the chemical peels I've been using. I'm almost done with the sample I got from Sephora (she gave me enough for a little over a week.) I've been using them after I wash my face in the evening, but not on the same day that I do a different chemical peel. They're basically for exfoliation since I've stopped using manual exfoliates (like scrubs.) I cut the pads in half and use the half pad on my face and then on my hands. You leave them on for 1-5 minutes then rinse with water. I follow up with my Vit C serum and them a good moisturizer.

Thursday Thrift Day! From Goodwill:

White denim shorts in an odd length from Macy's low-end Style & Co. brand. New, $7. I will make them into shorter shorts for summer lounging and dog walking.

And three sleeveless tops for $4 each

- Gray thin rayon racerback tank in the trendy high in front/low in back shape, really loose and lightweight, never worn/washed, feels like a higher-end item although the brand is unknown to me (Pica? Pico? something like that)

- Light pink Target surplice yoga tank, brand new with tags still (I broke my own rule and bought something in a color!)

- Black/white abstract large pattern Kenneth Cole drape-neck top. It isn't new, but it's a heavy polyester and in good shape. And with that, I think I own a month's worth of black/white print tops.

Lodge cast iron grill pan from Crate & Barrel.  I used it last night to make some fries and I love it.  I can't wait to try out all sorts of vegetables on it.

 

And some bras from the Nordstrom sale (I won't bore you with photos of that.)  Anyone else underwhelmed by the offerings there this year?

I'm hoping this dress from Anthro will look good in person!
