  I bought these Mumuso Milk Extract Ultra-Soft Pocket Tissues because, well, look at the little cow. And it says Milk Extract! This is the first time I’m seeing tissue with milk extract.  Of course I bought them. 😂 And they are soft. In fact, I discovered that they’re particularly nice to have when you have a cold and need to keep blowing your nose. You know how regular tissue eventually starts feeling rough when you’ve been using it over and over? This one is much gentler. But there’s something strange about it. The tissue feels slightly damp or cold when I touch it. Not actually wet. Just… cool in a way ordinary tissue isn’t. And then there’s the scent. I’m not a fan. There’s something about the combination of the scent and that slightly cold feeling that makes the tissue feel chemically treated to me. Maybe that’s part of whatever makes it so soft. I don’t know. What I do know is that while I appreciate how gentle it is on my nose, especially because I get rashes with a...

  I have a thing for pretty tissue. Most of you ladies know that. 😁 Actually, that’s not entirely accurate. I have a thing for pretty, high-quality tissue in different sizes. Because apparently, somewhere along the way, my tissues acquired job descriptions. The smallest packs go into my small bags. They barely take up any room, which matters when I’m carrying one of those tiny purses that seems to believe women require nothing beyond a card and a lipstick. It’s important that I have a tissue with me at all times because when I’m with family, I give my tote to one of them when I need to use the mall bathroom. But not all bathrooms here have tissue, so small bag tissue is a life saver.  The medium ones live in my tote. There’s more space there, so they’re allowed to be a little bigger. This tissue is shared property. When the boys need it, there’s tissue. When we travel and someone needs it, I pull it out. Eating out and there’s not enough tissue and it’s too troublesome to cal...

Shoutout to my beautiful readers in Norway! You were number 1 yesterday! And I discovered something interesting. At 3:36 am yesterday (your time), 19 of you from Norway were reading my blog! I am honored to keep you company during those wee hours in the morning. Whether you were preparing for your day, can't sleep, or just decompressing, I hope you found something useful and inspiring here.  If you’ve ever had to wipe away makeup with a rosacea flare in full swing, you know the stakes are high. I've been using The Face Shop’s Herb Day Cleansing Tissue for about two months now—and I was pleasantly surprised. Even with my ultra-sensitive, flaring skin, this held up beautifully. These wipes are gentle, with a light scent that doesn't overpower. What’s more, the fragrance fades nicely once you rinse your face. I always follow up with my go-to White Seed cleanser and everything feels clean afterwards. This isn’t my first rodeo with the Herb Day line. I used the Herb Day Cleansi...
