Neutrogena discontinued my moisturizer. Damnit. I have a backup, but I really liked this one. Hate going on the hunt again for something with salicy-whatever acid and also moisturizing but not oily and what the hell, retinol or something. Sigh.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Ah, yes, moisturizer. I keep meaning to try that.
I am making rhubarb fool for one, because it turns out I had exactly enough rhubarb for that.

Because books.
What's a fool (in this context)? I can't keep crumble and cobbler and brown betty and all of them straight, and you don't hear "fool" much anymore!

Punishingly Intricate
Neutrogena discontinued my moisturizer.
Ugh! That's the worst! I love the Mario Badescu stuff I get at Kiss n Makeup, sara. And Debbie always has a bunch of samples so you can try it out.
I don't understand not using moisturizer. My face feels dry just thinking about it! I think it's probably a sort of addiction.

Fool seems to be something like pie filling layered with whipped cream, going by this recipe.

I'm such a drugstore gal, I didn't even think of that, lisah. I'm not up for super spendy (this was like $12 for a tube that lasted 6 weeks or so and even that makes me cringe) but samples is a good start. Cheaper than tubes of rejects. And for crying out loud, I had a great time sharing a table with her at your wedding!

sarameg, was it the Oil-Free Anti-Acne Moisturizer? That's the stuff I've loved for years, but finally had to accept that I just wouldn't be able to get it anymore. I've been using Clean&Clear's Dual-Action Moisturizer, which also has salicylic acid, and it feels very similar. (Bonus: I found it on the shelf at Kroger for way cheaper than the Neutrogena stuff I had to order online.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
For just about every drugstore brand, there are ways to get it a lot cheaper if you pay attention to the coupons and sales.

Healthy skin anti-blemish anti-wrinkle. I'm not sure the anti-wrinkle did anything but it was the perfect blend for not too heavy but still keeping the non-hormone/ non-cystic zits at bay.
I'd gotten it much cheaper (and in bulk) at drugstore.com. When I remembered to order before I ran out. Then it required the $12 and a trip to Ulta (which finally was the only place I could find it offline anymore.)
I fucking hate chasing coupon sales, sorry. I save my Bloodbath, petstore and hardware cards mailers when I know I have something I'm getting there soon, but I'm not going to chase them. I chase after enough, I have little patience for else.

Sorry. Just trying to help.
