Happy August! Now that SDCC has passed, I have spooky season to look forward to. I’ll soon be attending Midsummer Scream for the first time, and I’m excited!
I emptied more beauty products than usual last month…check out this array:
My sixteenth San Diego Comic-Con is now complete! I know I say this every year, but I can’t believe it is already over. This year, I didn’t bother updating my “tips for SDCC newbies” blog post because there are so many guides out there and no one is going to sit and read a long ass post these days. So here I am writing a long ass recap post that no one will read either, but I’m doing it for myself!
Happy July! My birthday month has now come to a close, and while it was a sad time, I also managed to have some fun times as well. Now that we live in LA and have several movie theaters a short drive from our place, we’ve joined AMC A-List and I’ve been seeing at least two movies a week. It’s been quite enjoyable and I’ve seen some great original horror movies such as Hokum, Backrooms, and Obsession.
But we’re not here to talk movies; we’re here to talk beauty empties! Let’s get into it.
It’s taken me awhile to feel like posting about my birthday, as we’ve been grieving our sweet furry friend Cheddar. But I didn’t do a dedicated birthday post last year since we were in Iceland on my birthday. Now that I feel more up for it, I wanted to write a recap of my 48th birthday.
John and I had been talking about hosting a housewarming party. Because my birthday fell on a Saturday this year, we decided to invite friends and family over for a backyard gathering. So I spent my birthday partly treating myself but also partly setting up for our birthday/housewarming combo party.
I kicked off my 48th year by going to our local Starbucks to pick up my free birthday beverage. Here’s an early morning car selfie I took with my salted caramel cream cold brew:
In terribly sad news, we had to let our sweet boy Cheddar go a few weeks ago, after a brief medical emergency related to a heart condition that he was diagnosed with in late 2024.
Happy June: my birthday month! This will be my inaugural birthday as a California resident. We’re going to have a housewarming/birthday gathering at our place and I’m looking forward to hosting friends and family.
I emptied some beauty products last month, but it was a fairly light month for empties. We went on a couple short trips in the last week of May, so I did finish up some minis during our travels.
Happy May! I’ve already blogged about my first Sephora sale haul from our new home, and now it’s time for my first set of empties in our new space. We’re settling in quite well and have unpacked all of the important stuff, though we still have plenty of organizing and some furnishing to do. We’re getting there, though!
I emptied a fair amount of beauty products last month:
Wishing you a happy spring and happy April from our new home! This is not an April Fool’s Day joke (I can’t stand those and would not do that to you). Our movers arrive from DC today to move all of our stuff into our rental home here in the Los Angeles area. So after two months of staying in a long term Airbnb, we will finally, officially live in LA and will actually be able to settle in here.
Shall we move on to my empties, aka the actual point of this post?
Happy March and hello from Los Angeles! We aren’t fully settled here yet, but should get to settle in the next month or so. I won’t get into our move details in this post. But considering the wind chill was zero degrees in DC the morning that we left and the ground was still covered in sheets of ice, landing in LA on a sunny 74°F afternoon was absolutely incredible.
Let’s get into my February beauty empties!
