Completely OcurrentT: As I was getting ready this morning I happened to remember smonster's sunscreen query is still open, so -
I have pretty sensitive skin too, so I almost never use regular sunscreen on my face. I use moisturizer with sunscreen instead. I don't know if Trader Joe's is geographically viable for you, but if so, I use their "enrich" daily facial lotion for every day. Nice and light, non-greasy, almost fragrance free and only 4 bucks for a good-sized bottle! But - only SPF 15. For days when I know that sun exposure is going to be an issue, I use Eucerin's (wait, had to look it up, they've changed the name) Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion

(although I still have the "former look" packaging that specifies "sensitive skin" on the front). Good stuff, SPF 30, a little heavier than TJs, but still not a problem on my SUPER OILY skin.

This is good to know. Because I don't know if it's just that my skin is not yet used to an office environment again, but by mid-day, my face is horribly oily, and my foundation is settling into my pores. Do. Not. Want.
IO (shallow fashion) N, is it horribly vain and self-referential of myself if I review my "Goth at the Office" tag on Tumblr to plan my outfits so I don't repeat things too often? I'm trying to tell myself that it isn't shallow, but I do worry.
Is the question whether it's shallow to not want to repeat outfits, or merely the method? I don't think it's shallow to not want to repeat outfits - I make an effort not to, and my outfits are substantially less likely to stick in others' brains than yours are. I have no opinion on the method - whatever works for you, I think.
So, I guess, short answer = no.
It's not shallow, it's organizing your wardrobe in the 21st Century.

Um, both, I think.

Ha! Okay, I guess there's that.

A guy I work with was bitching at me yesterday that he came in for a meeting on his work from home day that was subsequently cancelled, and now he had to take the shirt he was wearing out of the rotation.
So I'm thinking about taking the GRE
As a prelude to grad school? If so, in what area?
I agree with brenda that parasailing is a calm happy thing. But pricey.
Foundation settling into pores needs primer! I am a total convert to makeup primer.
But I use primer! It's just failing meeee!
Which primer? I use the Monistat not-really-primer stuff.
