I am not sure how I feel about the snow we got today. On one hand, I am relieved that we aren’t at the hot temperatures yet, but on the other hand, I was enjoying being able to navigate outside without having to avoid slush and piles of snow.

The trees outside my windows are budding, though which seems early for here, doesn’t it?

I am a drugstore beauty girl, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that Shoppers Drug Mart now carries the colour-changing PH lip balm I love.

Unfortunately, I have the tendency to look like a sick Victorian woman most of the time, and I hate wearing heavy makeup, so I try to find simple ways to lessen the sickly pale pallor.

This involves never skipping a cream or liquid blush, and a colour-changing lip balm which gives my lips enough colour without having to use lipstick, that people don’t ask me if I am feeling okay.

It is an easy game-changer for me, kind of like The Ordinary Fermented Rose Hip Seed Oil, which I put over the top of my nighttime face cream to seal it all in.

That is the one thing I use that I noticed the biggest change after I started using it a couple of years ago.

I tend to stick with things for a very long time because my skin does not like change.

So if something works and doesn’t cause skin issues, I will tend to use it for as long as possible.

When I put together my preloved roundup this week, I forgot to include something. This lot of 3 Prada heels in a size 39. It is currently going for $91, and the bidding ends Sunday.

Hopefully, someone gets them for a great deal.

I have an uneasy feeling that something is in the air right now, so take care of yourselves.
