Holy shit, you guys, some crazy drama just took place tonight. I’d apologize for this being super late, but I was dealing with someone hacking into my Walmart account and making a massive purchase on my credit card.

Then they proceeded to spam me with about 200 sign-up text messages from various businesses in hopes of burying the Walmart purchase so I wouldn’t notice.

But I caught it because I look for that kind of stuff, and I was able to cancel the order and change passwords. But like, I have their address now, so what do I do with that information?

They are located in Kitchener.

They also had their credit card in my account to do a test purchase which was $2 forks. I totally should have locked them out and then made a purchase on their card out of retaliation, but I was scared of that backfiring.

I panicked and deleted all cards anyway. Jeez, that was stressful.

Anyway, crisis averted, I hope. Now back to business.

I am not one to talk about skin and beauty because it is not my wheelhouse.

I don’t have funds to be trying new products constantly, and my skin often rebels if I try, so I tend to stick with tried and true products with the occasional switch-up or addition to my regimen.

And those are the times that I will mention a product that I love or that works well for me. I recently tried a new face mask that I ended up loving.

It is from NudeStix, which isn’t one that I have tried before, but someone recommended it, so I gave it a shot. It is the Tight + Bright facemask, and it works well.

I cannot motivate myself to do regular masks, so this is probably a once or twice a week thing for me. But after I used it, I notice a nice change (for the positive).

For Christmas, I bought the cats another bed. This time, it is a Squishmallow bed from Walmart that I have had my eye on every time I go in because it is super cute and really soft. I’d love an adult version.

For some reason, the shark makes me laugh, and he was discounted (only online), so I ordered him. I got the medium because when I saw it in the store, it seemed like the perfect size. It’s pretty roomy, though.

They currently fight over the millions of beds they have, but I hope they love it anyway.

And to get the free shipping, of course, I added to my order, and picked up some men’s Hanes tees because they are my layering staple and I needed some new ones anyway.

And then we circle back to the top because I bought these yesterday, and my account got hacked tonight. I don’t think it is related, though.

Also, in case you missed it, I posted an artsy capsule yesterday that was a lot of fun to make.
