Happy New Year! Welcome to my final blog post of 2025, a year that everyone is excited to say goodbye to. I’m especially looking forward to our big move to LA next month, even though I’m also nervous and have a ton to do leading up to the move!
Let’s take a look at the beauty products that I emptied in the final month of 2025:
Happy December! I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving with your loved ones. We spent the holiday at my parents’ house in St. Louis and had some quality time with family.
Before I get into my November beauty empties, I want to share some news: John and I are moving to Los Angeles in early 2026! This has been in the works for a long time, and we’ve finally put concrete plans into motion. We are going to be sad to leave our home in DC, and big changes are always very stressful for me, but it’s also exciting. We have friends and family in LA so there’s already a built-in community waiting for us out west. Not that I blog a ton these days, but if I disappear for awhile, it’s because we’re in the process of packing and moving. I’m going to try to keep up with my blog as best I can, though.
With that news out of the way, let’s talk November empties…
The Sephora Fall Savings event took place recently. This time, I didn’t even put together recommendation lists on ShopMy. The sale kinda snuck up on me…and I wasn’t planning on buying a ton. As you can see in the photo below, my first order was relatively small.
I am so sad that October is over! But, it was a fun 11th year doing 31 Days of Horror. Read below to find out what I watched each day in October 2025…
Happy November! Of course I’m bummed that my favorite month is now over, but it looks and feels like fall in DC so I’m soaking up the season. I emptied quite a few products in October, so let’s get right to them.
1. RHAP Live in NYC: I had the pleasure of attending my fourth RHAP Live show last week! This was the third time I went to RHAP Live in NYC. If you’re a Survivor fan, you have to go to one of these events. You get to sit in a theater and watch the show with hundreds of other fans, then watch a live podcast hosted by Rob Cesternino as he discusses the episode with a rotating panel of former players. The after-party is also a blast. Five stars.
Happy fall, Happy OCTOBER…my favorite month!! I had quite a few empties in September, mostly skin care this time. Let’s get right to it.
It is wild to me that I’ve already completed ten whole years of 31 Days of Horror! I have a fairly busy October ahead but I’m still committed to 31 Days of Horror, which begins tomorrow.
1. RuPaul’s Drag Race Werq the World Live: I mentioned my obsession with Drag Race in my most recent Friday Five post. Awhile back, John discovered that the live tour featuring queens from the show was coming to DC, so we bought tickets. The show was this past weekend, and it was a total blast! We got to see Jimbo, Daya Betty, Kim Chi, Jorgeous, Vanessa Vanjie, and Jaida Essence Hall do their thing live. And they were all incredible! I would definitely try to buy closer seats next time…we were pretty far back, so I don’t have any good photos. This is kind of the best I can share:
Happy September! You know how excited I get when summer starts to fade into my favorite season. It’s the best feeling when the weather finally starts to cool down and Halloween stuff pops up in stores. It makes the PSL-loving basic bitch in me so happy.
