This mama needed an alternative to Sunday Riley’s Good Genes which costs $135 for 30mL. When I do the math, it works out to be about $4.50 a pump? I still love the stuff, but I was super intrigued by The Ordinary’s Lactic Acid 10% + HA 30mL with a $6.70 price tag.

Cleansers are not generally items I keep on repeat. I try many; stick with some and the ones I keep may make a second appearance on my beauty shelf, but usually as far as it goes.

I feel like a good warm soak is like a hug for my soul and seems to top me up whenever I am in a spiritual or creative deficit.

It absorbed nicely into my skin plus the oils gave my skin just enough JLo type sheen.

Before I knew it, this dark night was leaving black dusty prints all over my wild and health crazed heart.
